- annlving the fase to the big bonfire
n celebrate the worlds series
victory Of "Bullet Joe'' Bush, their
esteemed townsman, a sudden noise
halted the flaming torch in midair.
This sudden noise, waited by wire
less through unmeasured spaces,
sounded for moment as if a num-
ber Of baseball bats were hitting
something hard and round.
And this is precisely what the
racket was that in the eighth inning
turned the torch of triumph into the
gray ashes of swift and unexpected
Yankee defeat.
For seven innings Bullet Joe,"
the pride of Brainerd, kept the Giant
attack grazing in the barren lands
IS it looked in vain for one sustain
Ing herb.
For seven innings in the presence
Of $4,000 human beings, male and fe-
male, Bullet Joe and his famous Min
nesota smoke had the Giants gasping
for air, At the start Of the eighth he
vas leading Art Nehf 2 to Q, with the
battle howl of Yankee fans ringing
Pleasantly and sonorously in his ears.
And then. without any warning, the top
oi the Giant batting order crawled
from the dug-out, climbed his broad
! frame and dubbed Bullet joe into
ethai submission just a fraction of a
minute before Waite Hoyt could reach
Ne rifle pit in time to save the day.
End Came Suddenly
This last desperate, driving rush of
ae Giants from the rim of defeat was
heone spectacular feature OF opening
tay- They came through the closing
sSstsh Just as the hazy October sun
sas sAklng back of the big stadium
Vha hurry Of bats that sounded like
sssnsl a,s Of crockery being pushed down
saetst.ar stars. They came from be-
aA when they looked whipped to an
Aago hmsh with the same speed and
saafage that carried them in triumph
lla'oagh the National League after
MeR pitching staff had buckled up
end broken down.
Tals sudden onslaught of the Giants
ssme as one of the most dramatic
aalsnes that any world series war has
ssef Known. Two runs behind, with
sss than furlong left to travel on
pe way to the wire, the big bats of
oahcroft, Groh, Frisch and Meusel be-
ofh ii L II ~ l.
push put over, and each drive left a
ali Of fire behind as it scuttled safely
m'o outheld territory, with Giant run
hers dashing around the bases on their
way to the plate
, iour successive hits had tied the
score at 2 and 2, with Frisch on third
ana no one out, before Hoyt eased his
rent arm into the program in vain
attempt to save waning cause. But
ihoyt arrived too late, as Young's out
ne neia hy scored Frisch with the big run
VI the afternoon, leaving the Giants
