The body was found near the
pitcher's box just at sunset, with its
eyes gouged out, its throat cut and nine
ribs crushed in-mutilated beyond all
recognition.
The big crowd, on it's way out of the
Polo Grounds, stopped TO gaze upon the
niangied remains with partially averted
faces. 1t was a terrible sight to look
upon, and even strong men shuddered
and turned pale as they hurried toward
the exits. Who could blame them?
For here lay the huddled figure Of
The Dope--the buoyant, happy Dope
that no later than Wednesday morning
had figured the Yankees to beat the
Giants.
Here lay, hushed forever, the Golden
Voice Of Prophecy that had picked the
Yankees to win. And O, my country
men, what q fall there was! The
5 Yankees, picked by SO per cent of the
dote to win the big crown, failed to win
a single game. They got one tie before
they passed from the harvest fields into
the fogs yesterday, beaten--5 to 3---for
ball club that simply rode them into
srate figures to death.
For the second time in the series,
when another densely packed multi
tude Of more than $4,000 devotees gazed
down from the pavilions, Art Nehf,
the left handler, rose in triumph above
Bullet Joe Bush, who became the victim
of two Giant attacks that cut his reper-
tory into shreds. Twice the aggressive
Giants came from behind to take the
lead--once in the second inning and
again in the last of the eighth, when
their fnal headlong, tearing assault
broke down the sole surviving Yankee
rampant and drove them into the Sea-
whipped as con- pletely as any ball club
was evey whipped in a championship.
Bases Is,sal in Eightt
lE the closing battle, fought out
through intermittent showers with
gray clouds scudding back and forth
across the hazy sun, the great crowd
saw three separate run-making Yankee
rallies wiped out by, two slashing sor-
ties from the Giant dug-out that were
not to be thrown back by anything that
Bullet Joe or the Yankees had. It was
ii the eighth inning, with the Yankees
still leading and the bases full, that
Long George Kelly spread the closing
blanket over the fading Yankee flame.
There were two out when Bush, using
entirely correct judgment, passed Ross
Young to get a shot at Kelly in this
critical moment, with the vocal cata-
clysm almost lifting the roof. This
gave the Yankees a play at every bag,
and it substituted batter who had
been around 200 for one whose mark
was in 400 territory.
Kelly was ready for the challenge.
Ii he failed with two out, the Yankees,
with only an inning left. Rising to
taller than his own gaunt frame, the
big first baseman whipped line single
to center, and for the fourth and last
time the blighted Yankees sank be-
meath the surf, never to rise again.
This was the big blow that sent back
Ss4,oGo to ticket holding fans. From
the viewpoint of the two club owners,
It was one Of the most costly wallops
IN the history of baseball, shutting off
another golden tide of $4,000 that
would have flowed in Monday after
noon. Including Thursdays postpone
ment, this makes S205,o00, already at
hand, that will be turned back to char
ity and fandom, brought ON by the UNI
pres haste in calling game before
sunset and the inability of the Yankees
% win solitary fight And in this big
hnancial loss baseball can offer no
greater proof of its clean and honest
eoncerning the series again, where,
M,,wnere, were all those shattered
MEealng arms that were to leave the
van ulaa's helpless most of the route :? And
fansse batting eyes? The Giants, fac

zones, hammered the ball for collec-
