New York, Oct. 5.-(By The As
sociated Press.)-The Yankees and
the Giants fought furiously but TO
no avail Thursday in the second
game of the world series. They had
the score tied at three runs each at
the end of the tenth inning, when the
umpires, seeing the approach OF twl-
light, called an armistice. When hos
tilities break out Friday the teams
will be in the same position as before
Thursdays game, the Giants having
one victory and the Yanks none.
Hundreds of the 37,020 spectators
who paid to see the thrilling en-
counter were angered when the um-
pireS ruled it was no-dcelslon bout:
They had come to see knockout, and
as they swarmed over the field, they
screeched their disgust to the high
heavens and to every person they en-
countered who was of any Importance
in baseball affairs.
They told Manager McGraw of the
Giants they wouldn't come back to
his old Polo grounds again for any
thing in the world. They hurled
mean words upon the umpires, saying
that anybody with good eyes could see
it was still light enough to keep on
playing. Then they rushed to the box
where Baseball Commissioner Lands
sat with Mrs. Lands.
The leading actors in the crowd
barked questions and comments at the
commissioner and the chorus behind
them booed with vigor. To hear
them it seemed they wanted to know
what kind of an outrage the com
missioner thought the Giants and
Yankees clubs could get away with.
Lands UnruffIed
Unmoyed, Mr.. Landis put on his old
black hat over his flowing white locks
and started to walk across the field
to return to his hotel. The crowd
surrounded him, hurling taunts and
insults. A dozen special policemen
rushed in to clear the way for him
and the commissioner sought to wave
them away, saying he could get
through any New York crowd. Mrs.
Lands, too, seemed unperturbed. The
howlings hundreds dogged their foot
steps until Mr.. and Mrs. Lands had
reached the Polo grounds office. Later
the commissioner walked unguarded
to his automobile, refusing protection.
From the commissioner, the mob
turned it's fountains of advice upon the
writer's working in the press box.
They wanted the world informed what
an awful thing it was to see ball
game that nobody wins.
The other thousands who went
straight home seemed TO feel that they
had seen one of the most remarkable
BATHS in the history Of the tltular
autumn classic.
They had seen the Giants rush into
the lead in the first inning when Irish
Meusel lit the ball into the bleachers
for home run with two men on
bases. They had witnessed the
logged, relentless uphill climb of the
Yanks, first cutting down the Giant
lead to two runs at the end or the
first inning, then to one run In the
fourth, when Ward lashed a home
run over the fence above the left
field bleachers And finally, with Bob
Shawkey getting better and better so
that the Giants could not even
threaten to score, they saw the 4anks
tie the game in the eighth inning on
two base blows from the bats OF
Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel, brother
of the home run hero of the first
Game of Many Thrills
Nor were the innings that brought
scores the only ones of high endeavor.
Several times the crowd had the fine
thrill of watching an infielder hurl
himself at a hard hit ball, be knocked
to the ground by the force Of it,, and
then jump up and throw out the bats
man at first base. This experience
came three times to Frankie Frisch.
the fast second baseman for the
Giants. Another time he went far
back of second base and pulled down
drive from Everett Scott's bat with
his bare hand. 1t bowled him over,
but he came up with his grip still
on the ball.
Once. Heinie Groh, the Giants third
baseman. leaped after ball and caught
it while sliding in the dirt. 1t was
in the first inning, from the bat of
Whitley Witt. Groh hoped up from
the dust and threw Witt out at first
This may have saved the Giants from
defeat, for moment later, through an
error" by Bancroft and a single off
Pipps bat, the Yanks scored a run.
The game was a pitchers battle be-
tween Jess Barnes, the tall Giant right
handler, who twice defeated the Yanks
during the 1921 world series. and Shaw
kew. one of the star Yank veterans.
Shawkey, after the second inning, i'm
proved steadily and the Giants made
hut three hits off his service in the
last eight innings.
Barnes, spotted to a three-run lead
before he even walked to the box,
was often in trouble. But with perfect
support at all times, he would have
won. as the Yanks earned but two of
their runs, while the Giants cleanly
hammered all three of their runs across
the plate. Both Groh and Frisch had
got on bases with singles before Meu-
sells home run sent them across the
plate.
1t would have been a heart-breaking
game for either Shawkey or Barnes to
lose. Each was found for eight hits,
although four off Barnes went for ex-
ira bases, each issued two passes and
the detailed pitching analysis reveals
that Shawkey pitched 146 balls, while
Barnes threw only one more to the
plate.
But Shawkey, hit hard in the first
inning. when the Giants scored all their
runs on MeuseIs homer, and wobbly
for the next two innings. steadied up
and was practically invincible for the
the third, but famed Kelly for the
remaining seven innings.
Shawkey passed Groh and Young in
