POLO GROUNDS, New York n. y.
Oct. 7.-U. P.)-The Giants made
1t three straight victories here today
when they got to Carl Mays, last
years hero, for enough hits to COM
pletely outcass the desperate 1ankS'
Today's game was generally ac-
corded to the Yanks at the start. 1t
was not thought possible that NC
Quillan could turn back the 1ankS'
while Mays was thought TO be Il
high card for Higgins team. lanks
bore out early predictions, according
to early dope, by getting to NC
Ouillan in the first inning for Two
runs. The -C.iniltS were Helpless be-
fore Mays until the fifth when they
pasted the ball with carefree aban-
don and put over four runs, enough
to win easily.
The Yanks scored two of their
three runs when in the first frame
Witt singled, and advanced to sec
on on Dugan's single to left. Both
men advanced when Ruth raised
long fly to Cunningham, who got II
with his back to the centerfleld
fence, falling and hurting himself
time being called for the moment.
Pipp singled, scoring Witt and send
ing Dugan to third NIeusel singled
to right and scored Dugan.
Things were even until the fifth
when Snyder started rally with
single to center. McQuillan aided to
win his own ballgame when nc
doubled to left Both Snyder ana
McOuilIan scored on Bancrofts single
over Wards head. Groh singled and
went to second on Bancrofts single
then to third on Frisch's sacrifice.
Bancroft scored on Meusefs out, and
Groh who had reached third, scored
when Young singled to left. rms
was the end of the scoring by either
team until Wards homer IN the
seventh. The field was sogSy and
early in the game the Giants showed
a tendency to stall bat when it be
came apparent that the slight ram
would not prevent the game going
on both teams got down to business.
It was a fairly even ball throughout,
the Yanks showing better form, but
to no avail
Summary: Giants-i-s-1; Yanks-
$40.
Batteries-Giants. McQuillan and
SNYDER; Yanks, Mays. Jones and
Schang.
