against the fence after making his
good catch on it. 1t was the deepest
catch | ever saw on the Polo field.
Witt went to third on the' catch and
Dugan should have dog-trotted to sec
ond, but was half way down and back
pedalled to first.
Pipp's line single to center scored
Witt and sent Dugan to third. Pipp
tried for second, thinking the throw-in
was going somewhere else, and was
picked off by Bancroft. Bob Meusel
came along with hit and scored
Dugan.
Had Dugan gone to second on Ruth's
fly he would have scored from there
on Pipp's hit and there might have
been an entirely different play, maybe
throw all the way in. permitting
Pipp to reach second. Truly in the
fine points the Yankees en- tour were
bold but laundering.
There was beautifully fielding by
Fipp and Scott in the inferno ediate
innings, quick shifting of hands for
catches and quick throws. The Yankee
attack, the attack of the ferocious
first, with its potential four or five
runs, simmered down to nothing.
The Giants tried to bunt Mays into
trouble, bot Mays and Schang handled
these. In the fifth---the National
League inning-the Giants inserted one
valuable bunt Snyder and McQuillan
cracked out hits before Mays was
aware of it. McQuillan's was a two
bagger and sent Snyder to third. No
body was out.
Bancrofts Lucky Bounder
Enter the swastika and the lucky
charm. Bancroft jumped grounder
over Wards head, the grounder of the
sudden bound and the festoon of four
took jab at the ball and it scampered
along the grass between Mays and
Pipp where neither could shut off a
base hit. Recalled Mays's vain attempt
to get hold of Frank Snyder's bunt last
year.
Frisch sacrificed, Mays to Pipp. Meu-
sells slow bounder to Ward, not much
of lick, but tardy enough to resolve
itself into first base out and not a
home plate out, brought in Bancroft.
Young's clean hit to left brought in
Groh.
Mays wasn't in difficulty again. The
Giants bolt was shot, but not until
it had shot down the Yankees. Dugan
retired G1oh in the seventh with a
fast pickup, and Pipp and Scott twice
made sharp cooperative plays on
ground balls.
McQulllan survived four perilous
innings-the first, seventh, eighth and
ninth. In the seventh Bob Meusel
grounded to Groh. He came almost to
stop, sprinted when he saw Groh
throw low, but the time wasted was
irreparable, for Kelly had time to pick
up the ball and step on the bag. Then,
with two out, Ward, for the second
time in the series, blew home run
into the left field seats.
McQuillan Strong in Pinch
Witt in the eighth doubled to left
with two out. McQullan wasn't feazed
Bugan popped a fly to Cunningham,
Ruth shot one up to the leaky canopy
and Frlsch caught it when it came
down with the rain.
The ninth for the Yankees was q
nightmare; for the Giants great busi.

the first base line. Meusel came up next
he missed bunt, then grounded to
Groh. P1pp, needless of where the ball
Was' came rampaging along the line
down by Groh and Bancroft.
Still the wind was not taken ont nj
the Yankees sails. Give them credit
they're game. Schang drove single
