these blows bounced in the orthodox
way and the batters were thrown
out. The Yankees were always
making opportunities for themselve.
only to turn them down in some
careless manner. They might have
scored three runs I'm the first inning
Instead OF two with n little moro
audacity In going around the dia-
mond.
Yanks Start Strong.
They started off as though they
had found their long lost hitting
punch. witt hit a single straight
through the diamond into center
field and Dugan quickly followed
with n single TO left Babe Ruth
took mighty swat at the ball and
drove one of the longest flies that
ever dropped into an outfielder's
1 glove. Cunningham caught II in
deep center field. just n step or two
from the bleacher fence and the
force OF the balrs descent kno .ked
him against the boards. lie was so
far away from the plate that there
seemed to be plenty OF time for witt
to come home from second. But
Manager Higgins. who was coach
ing at third, stopped him there. He
scored later on Pipp's single.
| Pipp tried to run too far rather
than not far enough, and was
caught at second. Meusei sent
home with a fierce liner to right.
then stole second and took third on
Snyder's wild throw to catch him at
the midway sack. Schang ended
| the offensive by striking out.
Bob Meusel began the Yank's
seventh turn at bat with a roller
that Groh had trouble in handlingS
on the way to first, Meusel slowed
down, seeming with the thought
that II was no use to run. other
wise he would have been safe, for
Groh's throw was bad and Kelly
dropped It and had TO step off the
bag TO pick II out of the mud. AS
1t was the play was very close. IL
was only n few seconds later that
Ward bombarded the bleachers with
| his home run. making a goat of
Meusel.
And StlII Worse.
Then came the last chance in the
ninth and the reckless disregard of
| IL by Higgins men. Pipp slammed
the first pitched ball down the left
field line for two bases. He was
| trapped off second on Meusel's poke
to Groh. Yankee hopes began to
expire but they flared up i'm
mediately when Schang got long
single into left. There was only one
out and Meusel had gone to third,
so that 1t was expected that Schang
would be satisfied with one base on
his hit. But he wasn't, He tried
to reach second and failed. Ward
ended the game with n fly to Meusel.
Had Schang been willing to leave
well enough alone when he reached
first, Bob Meusei could probably
have scored after his brother caught
Wards fly.
Even leaving the Yankees base
running out OF II, the game would
rank as one OF the sloppiest in the
history OF the worlds series. The
rain was never weary. II began in
the morning as n gentle mist. Little
drops began to fail during batting
practice They were corning down
steadily as the first inning began
and the fans in the bleachers cover
ed themselves with umbrellas and
newspapers. Not even the most pro-
found editorial page was heavy
enough 10 keep the rooters dry after
the fourth inning. From then on
the rain fell with increasing wet
ness, so that the bleachers seemed
to blur to those in the grandstand.
Detailed analysis of the pitching
shows that McQuillan and Mays
worked on even terms, Each had
one bad inning. McQuilian. in the
first when the Yanks punched four
of their eight hits for two runs, and
Mays in the fifth when the Giants
registered five of their nine hits and
four runs. McQuillan held the
Yankees hitless from the first to the
seventh, while Mays allowed no
more than one hit in any inning
outside the firth.
McQuillan pitched 113 times, AZ
OF which were balls. and 26 strikes.
Mays tossed to the players 10s
times in eight innings, and Jones,
who worked in the ninth, pitched
but seven times, all three OF the
men facing him going out on flies.
Seventeen foul strikes and 10 fouls
were nicked off Mays delivery but
nine foul strikes and four fouls off
McQuillan.
