To Stop the Hammering of
The Giants Wicked
Bats
YANKEES BEST BET
WENT INTO DISCARD
Bullet joe Bush Proved
Unable to Stop the
Hammering

New York, Oct. 5 by the Assocl-
ated Press Dope, like bowls of milk,
can be upset, as proved by McGraw
in taking the first game Of the world
series from the Yankees, to 2. Hug
gins, who leads the Americans, hopes
to salvage some of the split Opaque
fluid and has nominated Bob Shawkey
for the twir'ing office to-day.
Men called rxperts declared that the
Americans with Bush, one of the most
highly rated pitchers OF the season,
would be inyincible. Sportsmen accept
ed that dope and bet on it. Bush was
poked from the pitching mound by
McGraw's puinmellers and now the
dope bowl is upside down.
Bob Shawkey's name has been heard
and applauded during other worlds
series. He is in form this year. He
wears a red undershirt just like that
worn BY Mr.. Bush. But red under
shirts neither win nor lose ball games.
McGraw has chosen Jesse Barnes, the
rangy Oklahoman, who brought the
Giants out of the depths of defeat in
the championship games last fall, to
work against Shawkey.
Should Shawkey falter, Carl Mays,
of the underhand delivery, probably
will be called upon to relieve him,
while Deacon John" Scott was told
to keep warmed up ready for a"tion in
case Barnes needed relief.
The Yankees. even with Shawkev at
his best, will need to bring to bear
some of their hitting ability in order
to win to-day, said Higgins. "We

beat them is to wade in and play their
game.
"A smooth. beautiful working ma
chine is my team. But even good
machine will stop running if some
body hits it with a sledgehammer.
Wen have to pound them so hard
they won't be able to overcome us"
The Yanks hit Nehf yesterday, for
certainty. but they didn't hit him
hard enough Bush got through sew
en- innings, luckily. without a run be-
ing scored against him. His curves
weren't working and he fooled the
Giants for those seven frames with |
speed. McGraw, he Of the X-ray eyes,
discovered this.

Iren. "and just meet those smoky of
ferin-s. Don't swing at 'em."
Four Giants went to the plate; four
Giants stuck out their bats and they
didn't swing. Four base hits went |
into the Giants credit column and the |
score was tied.

hours and eight minutes it took to

Bullet Joe" was in the worst sort
OF trouble on several occasions before
that terrible eighth. Heinie Groh
kicked one to the fence for three bases
in the second after two were out and /
was in a frogs hair OF scoring when
Aaron Ward spesred sharp drive off
the bat of Frank Frisch. In the sew
enth Giants pranced on all the bases
with one out and McGraw sent Earl
Smith to bat for Nehf. Earl drew
three balls and a strike then fouled
several good ones before bouncing a
stiff one down to Scott. who tossed to
Ward, who stung the ball to Pipp for
double play.
