shawkey Changed Since 1921.
Just az Barnes had changed since 1927.
so had Shawkey changed. But in his
case the change was startling one.
Last year he was knocked out of the
box. He had a. sore arm then. Yester-
clay he was full of stuff and confi-
dence. He had a lot of curves and he
had world of speed when he needed il.
That fast ball of his, coming unex-
pectedly, hurt the Giants. He had re-
markable control. too.
On the attack the hero of the day was
Irish Meusel. who seems TO delight In
taking his whacSs at the Yankees. irish
tied the world series record by driving
in seven runs last year He certainly
will set new mark this time. for he
drove in two tales with his single on
Wednesday and he smashed in three
more with his home run into the left
field bleaches in the first inning yes
terday. In two games he has batted
In five counters-five out of the six
made by the Giants.
On the defense the shining light of
the battle was Fordham frankie Frisch,
who cavorted and dived and slid and
| jumped and threw until the soon to be
Mrs. frankie Frisch could not beam any
more. Frisch made three plays which
were classics. Two of these claimed
Deacon Scott for their victims. The
deacon certainly is hitting in hard luck.
On Wednesday II was Bancroft who
robbed him twice.
Frisch's star stunt came In the fourth
when he dashed into center field to
make a catch OF Scott's strong bid for
nit. Frisch fell. but he clutched the
ball. In the second, again with two out.

great move. then dived for the ball and

trice. set himself and threw out the
grimacing hard luck deacon. This rob-
berry was the star infield play seen thus
far In the series.
Groh Shines, Too.
In the fifth inning Frisch operated on
Ruth. With two out and Dugan on
first--he had gone there through a sin
gie-the Babe smashed a rather warm
one at Frankie. Frankie made a rather
warm stop and tossed out the discom-
fitted Babe. Groh made n remarkable
play on Witt to open the Yankee first
when Heinie made one of his sensational
acrobatic stops and threw out the AL
bino from a kneeling position.
The tie was only the third ever seen in
world series. The Giants figured In
the last previous tie when they went
eleven innings to a 6 to 6 standoff with
the Red Sox at Boston in the second
battle in 1912. The Red Sox had won
the first game here. to 3. The first tie
on record came between the Cubs, under
Frank Chance. and the Tigers, under
Hughey Jennings. in 1907. In the open
ing game at Chicago they struggled

That game yesterday was the first
extra inning affair seen in world series
since 1919. In that memorable set be-
tween the Reds and the White Sox in

beat the Cincinnati bunch by to in
ten innings in the Rhineland in the sixth
game.
The Giants figured in quite rattlng
ten inning fight In 1919 IN the second
game with the Athletics at Philadelphia.
The great Matty beat the great Plank.
3 70 0. Yesterday Matty sat IN the
stand and smiled Plank was busy in
his garage on The turnpike at Gettysburg
at the turn toward the battlefield, just
beyond the big elm.
Last year the Yankees won the second
game from the Giants. TO 0. Hoyt scor-
Ing over Nehf. and three hits beating
| only two This afternoon that same
Hoyt will take tho mound for the Yam
KEGS. but It will not be Nehf who will
face him.
II Is quite likely to be Jack Scott the
North Carolina soupboner, who was with
| the Braves last year and had no more
/ idea Of being in world series this after
l noon than an elephant knows about rid
/ ing horseback. Hugh McQuillan has a
chance to work for the Giants, but II is
a slim one. Scott has the call and Hoyt
| Is the favorite.
