even as did Casey stengel yesterday.
Tor he leaned hard against one of Nc
Quillan's fast hooks and the ball shot

the home stretch for the first homer
and the first score of the game.
Schang flied out to Snyder and Scott
| flied out to Meusel. One run, hit, no
errors.
Giants: This inning was one of
thrills. Young hit pop fly to Dugan
and was out, but Emil Meusel, waving
his hand to his brother Bob in the
Yankee outfield, stepped to the plate
swinging his heavy bat. Pennock was
putting everything he had onto the
ball and it was dipping across the
plate like creased lightning. Meusel
swung his big stick, there was a re-
sounding crack and again the white
sphere was driven with terrific force
into the left field stands, Meusel cross
ing the plate with the second homer
of the game and the tying run while
the vast crowd went wild with cheer

one hit, no errors.
Fourth Inning
.Yanks-Babe Ruth was given a
cheer as he took his position
at the plate, the first man up. He
was swinging his big black bat vici-
ously and when McQuillan steamed ,
over one that he thought would fool
him, Bambino let drive with all his
might. The impact of bat against (.
ball was terrific and heard in all cor !.
ners of the field. The ball scared
high in the air and went over the
right field stands for the third homer
Of the game and Ruth's first circuit
,lout of the present series. The fans
,heered wildly as the Bambino lop-

I'd the platter with the run that put
