Play-by-Ploy account of
Giants Victory Ouer Yank,
By Joseph Val

The huge stands were packed at !
o'clock but there Was little or no
specializing on probable pitchers. This
foaturo was next to a certainty. There
was no surprise when Joe Bush and
Arthur Nefs took their places to
warm up pitches but there were plenty
OF cheers for both.
After the rival twirlers had com
pleted their warming Up exercise the
four unpires, Manager Higgins o. the
Yankees and Dave Bancroft, captain
Of the Giants, conferred at the plate
on ground rules. The Giants took to
the field, the umpires went to their
posts, Whitley witt vent to the bat
FIRST INNINo
YANKEES-Whitey Witt failed to
lay down the expected bunt and In
stead hit line fly to Stengel for the
first out. Groh threw out Dugan on
81 easy chance. and then Babe Ruth,
after being welcomed nosjly, looked
very bad against Nehfs wide curves.
Tho Bambino struck out. No runs, no
hits.
GiANTS-~Bancroft was easy for
Ward and Pipp. With the count at two
and two, Groh got the first hit Of the
series, Texas Lacquer to left. Friach
singled TO left also, Groh stopping at
second Groh vent to third and
Frisch to second on a short passed
ball. Meusel fouled out to Schang, the
catcher getting the ball near the screen
behind the plate. Young popped to
Pipp and the first CUNT assault was
checked. No runs, two hits.
SECOND INNING
YANKEES-Pipp grounded out to
Kelly. Bob Meusel, like Ruth, was
fooled by Nehf's curves and was a
strike-out victim. Schang got the first
Yankee hit Of the game, line single to
left, but Ward bounced to Groh and
was an easy out. No runs, one hit.
GIANTs-Kelly was called out on
strikes. Stengel was tossed out by
Ward and Dugan threw out Snyder.
No runs, no hits.
THIRD INNING
YANKEES-Scott hit a pop fly to
Groh. Bush, the next batter, lifted the
ball to short left center for what
seemed a certain hit, but Bancroft, run
ming at top speed with his back to the
ball, made a sensational catch. 1t was
the finest fielding play of the game.
Witt was out, Frisch to Kelly. Nc
runs, no hits.
GIANTS-Nehf opened the inning by
rolling to Pipp. Ward threw out Ban
croft, and then Groh, with count of
one and one. got the longest hit of the
day, triple which carried to the fence
in left center. Groh was left on third
when Frisch popped to Ward. No runs,
one nit.
FOURTH INNING
YANkEES-Dugan singled past Ban
croft to open the inning. Ruth forced
Joey at second on a hard chance.
Frisch to Bancroft. AS Pipp was
striking out Ruth attempted to steal
second, but was up on Snyder's fine
throw to Bancroft. No runs, one hit.
GIANTS-Scott threw out Meusel.
Young protested when Klein called him
out on strikes. Young tossed his bat
high in the air and straight toward
Stengle, who was waiting his turn at
the plate. Stengel did not see the bat
coming, and it sailed about foot from
his head. 1t was close call for Casey,
and some of the fans booed Young for
his carelessness. Kelly singled to left
and Stengel popped to Ward. No runs,
one hit.
FIFTH INNING
4ANkEES-Meusel beat out hit to
Bancroft and Schang sacrificed, Nehf
to Kelly. Ward drew the first pass of
e game, Meusel moving to second
Scott drove hard liner to right, which
looked like a certain hit. Young, how
ever, speared the ball at his shoe
tops, and his quick throw to Frisch
doubled up Meusel, who had raced past
third. No runs, one hit.
