SECOND FALL FOR YANKS

New York, Oct 9-The New York
Giants once more are baseball cham
pions of the world. They reached that
pinnacle of success for the second
consecutive year In furious uphill
rush yesterday afternoon that funs
the Yankees to defeat, to 3. and
crushed a disgusted pitcher, Bullet
Joe" Bush.
1t was the second successive time
that the Yanks have bucked the
Giants in a worlds series and failed
This year they went down inglorious
ly, without the soace OF having cap
tured even one of the five games that
comprised the battle for the title
The best the Yankees could do was
to tie the second game OF the series
The Giants won the other four.
In al the annals OF the game only
two clubs ever triumphed in worlds
series in such decisive fashion. In
1907 the Chicago Nationals won fouI
straight victories over the Detroit
Americans after fighting 12-nnine
first game tie at 3-3. Seven years
later the Boston Braves surprised the
fans of the entire nation by wreckine
Connie Macks superb Athletics -four
times in row.
The final downfall of the Yanks
was that of house momentarily di
vided. Miller Higgins, the head Of
the household which was then enjoy
ing q to 2 lead over the Giants, dif
fered with his pitcher, JXs Bush, in
his strategic program for blocking
the onslaught Of the champions II
the eighth inning Bush became an
cry and before he could calm him
self. Long George Kelly had smacket
one of his curves so hard and so far
| that one Giant raced across the plate
with the run that tied the Yankees
and another Giant trotted in with the
score that beat them.
The Yanks enjoyed the prospect ol
a victory for only Is minutes. Wher
they came to bat in the seventh, the
score was deadlocked at two-all
They made run on Meusel's cratcl
hit. Schang's sacrifice bunt. wilt
pitch by Art Nehf, the Giants south
paw. and a short sacrific fly to cen
ter field from the bat OF Everett
Scott. The throwin OF this fly almos
caught Meusel as he slid for home
1t seemed the Yanks barely hat
squeezed out victory.
And then in the eighth the cour
ageous Giants flung out their chal
lenge. Pipp, the Yank's first base
man, hated them for a moment b,
stopping Bancroft's hard blow bacl
of first base and leaping to the bal
just in time to beat the runner. Blu
the fighting Giants would not be de
MED victory quick and sure. Grol
cut the diamond squarely In hal
with a single that ripped through tn
turf into center field. Frisch hit
liner that bounded to Mcmillan II
center field, who juggled It and tn
batter was credited with two
Dagger, while Groh went on to third
Irish Meusel shot a roller to short
Scott hurling the ball home so fas
that Groh could not safely reach tn
plate. He started to return to thirt
but was run down by Schang.
| When the ball was thrown back I
the box, Bush found himself In tro,
Bile. Frisch, the fastest runner o
either team, stood perched on thir
base and Irish Meusel was on SCI
ond. At the plate, swinging his ba
lelt.handed, stood Pep Young, VIII
usually drops his hits in right felt
At this moment there popped int
the mind OF Miller Higgins tn
thought that the best way out of tn
difficulty would be to let Young wal
f. to first, filling the bases so that
force-out would be facilitated. He wa
| willing to take a chance that Kell
, who has been weak in his recent ba
4 ting, would continue to be weak.
he ordered Bush to walk Young. La
I ter both Giants and Yankee player

p real inside baseball strategy. I'll
a break of the game ruined 1t, new

warmed up his tongue with coup

o His face showed his disgust at ea'
of the four wide thrcts he hurl
to the catcher
And then Kelly, who bats rigl
handed, appeared at the plate. Busl
first pitch to him was a ball. The ne
was q speedy curve. 1t cracked {
d Kelly's bat and into center field
t. a fast clip, scoring Frisch and Me
sell Higgins had guessed wror
Bush perhaps had won a moral
