For the third day these Yankees,

slaushterers. the home run cham

failed worse than in the other two
games. They did not even offer the
Giants hard chance. All their
boasted slugging disappeared and
they looked minor leagueish before
the terrific speed and almost per-
feet control of the elongated noun

Claims Something Wrong.
Frankly. there is something
wrong. Every bit of the dope is as
it should be. excepting the far
famed Yankee attack. The Giants
have done in each game exactly as
they were argued to do. The Yam
kee pitchers have done better than
they were doped to do, but the big
crash Of the dope Is in the Yankee
attack. The team which has ham
mered American League pitchers al

records for ong-distance driving.
never hit a ball hard today. Scott
used speed today, scorned to slow
ball the heavy slugEers and dazzlsd
them with his smoke.
II anyone can explain II the be-
wildered Yankees want to know.
Yet the Gisn did not particularly
shine in attack. They hit Hoyt
steadily. persistently. and but for a
weird error by Aaron Ward they
would have been lucky even to get
run. Tt was Wards error that

Ruth Fails DismaIiy.
The exc tement of the day was
furnished BY Ruth. who fell so far
off his pedestal that he half buried
himself in the dirt. He took a
wild chance of reaching third In
the fourth inning. and when thrown
out he bumped Groh clear of the

dirty ball playing and jeered.

quantity again. packing the un-
reserved sections long before game
time and taking the edge of the
roar put up by the players against
being cut out of their share of
yesterdays gate receipts.
The players feared that the an

of the umpires to call the game
and the demonstration against
Judge Lands, would reduce at

the situation. but the temper of the
