Play by play, even to the strikes
and balls, the Marines enacted the
big game in Gotham and they
took less time to do 1t than the
Yankees and Giants themselves.
Actual playing time the Marines
required eleven minutes less to do
their stuff than the New York
clubs.
That's by way of bringing out
that the stunt was consummated
with extreme snap. Time was
taken out to megophone the spicy
bits Of news that came between
innings. and this. too, was a hit
with the bugs.
During slack moments and also
q few exciting ones, the United
States Navy band, under the di-
rection of Lieut.. Charles Bender,
flooded the park with stirring msic
that was thoroughly appreciated.
The washington Times March, +"
written by Bender himself, was
given a hearty hand.
Skeptical that 1t could be done,
but curious and willing to be shown,
the crowd went to the park prepared
for anything, wondering how diff
ferent plays would be enacted. how
the home runs, triples and doubles
would be made.
At first the fans thought they
were to be treated to q baseball
burlesque, but after the first two
innings the 10000 men, women
and boys settled back and took II
seriously.
A strange, mass psychology de-
veloped that became intensified as
action Of the game quickened.
There was something phantom
like about the impersonating players
throwing and catching an unseen
ball. But the meaning of every
move was clear and none of the
fascination Of regular ball game
was lacking. II was brilliant, seri-
ous-minded pantomime, performed
with exacting fidelity to the truth
the first time such a spectacle had
ever been presented in the games
history.
A number OF brilliant" catches
were made by the outfielders; hard
stops by the infielders. Quick. thrill
ing double plays were sincerely
cheered. The Marines acting ability
was astonishing.

We In the American League are
used to fast hard balls. but we have
not had a good serving up Of curves
since we met the Giants in the 1921
world series. So the "softies"
served us yesterday took US off onr
guard. They fooled our batsmen
because it has been Il long time
since they've faced National League
style hurling.
The Yanks are no dumbbells. They
are going to solve the National
League style of pitching. I'm con-
fident that no matter who is in the
box against us today we are going
to be able to hit and to hit suf.
ficiently to even up the series.
We Yankees still believe we can
win the series.
Last year, we won the first two
games and lost the series. So you
see, we cannot believe that the
team which grabs the first game
has a mortgage on the champion
ship.
think Joe Bush did wonderful
work. He was great in the way he
managed to get out of tight places
until Waite Hoyt replaced him in
| the eighth.
The Giants came up from behind
and won the first game in spite OF
he fact that they threw away many
chances TO score. Their fightinE
| spirit was excellent.
The batting rally they staged of
Bush in the eighth, consisting OF
four straight singles and sacrifice
fly showed a wonderful comeback
| The hits were clean and the runs
| well earned.
The Yankees had a great chance ir
the fourth, and here came what

everybody, that it was the cleanes

But Pep Young came in fast
and made one OF those almost
miraculous sliding catches that
are very infrequent. Meusel was
tearing for home, and il was an
easy matter to throw to second
for a life saving double play. Had
the hit gone safe, we would have
scored one or more runs, and per.
haps enough to win the game.
I think that yesterdays game
showed why Pipp may become tn
hero OF the series, when in the
