course with his mystifying hooks and
fast ball. Jess Barnes stood ready to
take up the Giants burden in the
box.
The Giants. coming on the field this
afternoon. believe they have the series
ms good as won.
I'VE have the Indian sign on the
Yankees" said Frank F'risch. tho
Ginhts middle sacker, "and think the
yanks are beginning to think 90 They
have never won series from the
Giants. They know Psychology Is part
of the old game"

HugHinsL brought His players on the
field early and put them through a

once and there would be batting org

cut TO see the sport. but the early
rush for the unreserved sections was
missing and the crowd filtered into the
upper stands and beachers as slowly

the cellar champions are playing the
home folks in football wea her.
The reserved stands sold out to
capacity for the series. did not flll up

day from July's not wave and another
sultry afternoon gave the pitchers
an incentive to turn on their speed.

minutes that dragged until Babe"
Ruth and company. garbed in home
uniforms of white. broke into the pic

fighters, and that the only way 10
beat them is to wade in and play their
game.
