1t came in the eighth inning OF
what proved to be the last game.
The Yankees had the edge on the
: Giants three games to two, and in
this particular game the Giants
threatened to make it three to three
by entering the eighth inning with
q three-run lead on the Yankees.
Mr.. Douglas Nehf had been going
great guns for seven innings, the
Yanks being able to touch him but
twice when the historical eighth
opened. On the other hand, the
Giants had sounded out Pennock for
nine bingles in seven frames and to
We cuckoos in the orchestra and
onvirons it was beginning to look like
Q tied series and the possibility of
another trip to the stadium on the
following day.
As the Yanks were playing at the
Iolo Grounds, they naturally were
FIRST at the bat in the eighth-aS
veil as the other innings.
With one out, Wards fly to
Kelly, Schang got the first hit off
~ left-handed Nehf since the
second inning. Scott got another,
then Nehf walked Hoffman

lineup by taking out Witt. He
Immediately put Haines, who later
played center for Witt, on first to
rum for Hoffman.
The cash customers as well as
the paid experts were twitching in
their seats. What would happen
next!
McGraw's master bean seemed to
Be baked.
In went Bush to bat for Witt
but he didn't, as he drew a pass,
forcing in Schang for the first run
OF the rally. Johnson ran for Bush.
There was pandemonium from
the stands.
Exit Mr.. Nehf.
Up Mr.. Jumping Joe Dugan.
Enter Mr.. Rosy Ryan who
walked jumping Joe without
getting single strike across the
target. Mr.. Scott ,stroIled across
Tor the second run of the rally
and the score was to 4, favor
the Giants.
Bob Meusel, good old Bob, did his
BIT. He singled to center. Cum
bingham threw wildly 20 third TO
get Dugan and Dugan scudded IN
behind Haines and Johnson who
was doing the running tor Bush.
Three runs went over and the
Yankees were 6-to-4 leaders with
the pennant in their bat bag.
The rest doesn't count-as there
were no more casualties on either
side.
The Yankees had grabbed their
baseball honor out Of jeopardy in
the face of overwhelming odds on
the sixth day of the series when
everybody's vitality and patience
was getting low.
That hit of Bob Meusel's and
Cunningham wild throw, meant
more than we can tell IN a Para
graph. besides the winning OF a
series. The division of world-sertes
money which went with that hit
and that wild throw, is a thrill

IN 1CS OS1IlB AC6CAnA@N ~ 49,
The stymie Is just as much
matter Of contention as II mas ever
been-and always will be. There are
those who favor It. There are those
who are opposed to it. And 80 1t Is
with the ''floater'' bail, which re-
norts have the committee al being
in favor OF bringing back.
Arthur G.. Havers, the British open
champion: now in this country upon
an exhibition tour, had the following
very interesting statement to make
in regards to the stymie: the rul'
ing providing that player who
stymies himself shall suffer from the
stymie seems the best to me.
Under the present ruling you may
be made to suffer because or bad
shot by an opponent, because stym1es
are frequently laid when a player
puts badly misses the hole and
just happens to stop In front OF his
opponents ball."
Havers Is also stout supporter
of the ribbed, deeply scored or
punched faced club. The British
champion laid particular stress
upon the fact it was not so much
the face Of the club which added
the 'stOppum" to q shot as it was
the manner in which the ball was
"cut into" on the downward swing.
He further pointed out that the
"stoppum" shot is practically one
of skill, and Is not accomplished
as much through artificial aid as
many believed. Without a certain
amount of skill in ,>"cutting into"
the ball the roughed side Of the
club will not reward the player.
The biggest fight viii probably
come when the proposed changes
in the weight of the ball are laid
before the committee. There isn't
one golfer out of a thousand, be
he q star or a duffer, who will
favor reducing the speed OF the
ball now in use.
The biggest thrill the duffer gets
during a game Is just after he has
made a fairly long shot. With the
"floater" In use he will seldom ex.
perience that satisfaction which
comes to the star as well when he
about $50 yards.
The "fIOater' will make very

professional or amateur star.
Roger Wethered, Great Britain's
amateur champion, recently had
q round of II using the old style
gutta peT'cha ball. His score would
would have been much better had
he not missed several easy puts.
The opinion prevails in many
quarters that golf as played in this
country ts subject to rule from the
Ancient and Royal Club. Of Eng
land. United States Golf Associa-
ton officials have Indignantly de-
MED the charge and in a most We
hement manner.

gen, Bob Mcdonald. Joe Kirkwood,

rule as cited by HaYers. the action
of the u. S. G. A. will be awaited
with interest.

There's Harry Greb, the middle
weight champ. He was a bear,
but his hurtless punches bother
