GIANTS REPEAT

Crucial Game Lost on Plque of lrste
Bush AS He Differs With
Manager

New York.-The New York Giants
once more are champions OF the world
They reached hat pinnacle of success
for the second consecutive year in a
furious uphill rush that flung the
Yanks to defeat. 8 TO 8. and crushed
a disguised pitcher. Bullet Joe"
Bush.
II was the second successive time
that the Yanks have bucked the Giants
in a worlds series and failed. This
year they went down ingloriously with.
out the solace of having captured even
me of the five games that comprised
the battle for the title. The best the
Yanks could do was to tie the second
game OF the series. The Giants won
the other four.
In all the annals of the game only
two clubs have ever triumphed In a
world series In such a decisive fash
ion. In 1907 the Chicago Nationals
won four straight victories over the
Detroit Americans after fighting a -
inning first game tie at 3-3 runs. Seven
years later the Boston Braves sur
prised the fans of the entire nation by
wrecking Connie Mack's superb Ath-
letics four games In a row.
The final downfall of the Yanks
was that of a house momentarily d.
vided. Miller Higgins, the head of the
household, which was then enjoying a
3 to 2 lead over the Giants, differed
with his pitcher, Joe Bush, in his
strategic program for blocking the on
