One More Needed.
Tonight the National league pennant
e. .aoel, need only one victory to renew
,rsr 1872. lease upon the title of the
S.. IDS baseball championship. The de-

Fate Against Mays.
Fate stuck out a mean, wet and slip
.srv finger at Carl Mays in the fifth in
Ming and marked him for defeat. Had
roo day been dry and the field soil trust
worthy. the underhand twirler probably
would have shut out the Giants in that
inning as he did in all the rest.
Eut luck turned against him from the
very start Of the inning. snyder, the
frzt Giant at bat sent a roller to short
top Touching the mud, the ball took
a queer bound and Scott could on.y knock
down. giving Snyder an infied hit.

third and Groh to second.
Another Bad Hop.
Irish Meusel. the next batter, slapped
the hall toward second. Another bounce

ANYTHING but snuff out the batter at first
base. Bancroft already having reached

from the bat of Pep Young, scoring Groh
The rally ended when Young was nipped
off at first.
The Giants got only two hits after that
and never threatened to score again.
Right after the Giants made their cluster
of scores the Yanks slapped the ball
mon the infield turf but as luck would
nave H. all these blows bounced in the
.rthodox way and the batters were
thrown out.
Yanks Good In First.
IN the first inning the Yanks started
otf as though they had found their long
lost lifting punch. witt hit single
straight through the diamond into center

single to left Babe Ruth took mighty
swat at the ball and drove one OF the
longest fles that ever dropped into an
"utaelder's glove. Cunningham caught
It. in deep centerfield, just a step or two
from the heacher fence, and the force
