The New York Yankee baseball
team of Miller Higgins moved a step
nearer the worlds diamond cham

New York City. 1t was the Yankees
first win OF the series on their own

first contest of the series, and pitch
ed one of the best games of this sea-
sons classic. Only three hits were
obtained from his offerings, all three
by Irish Meusel, left gardener of the
National League champions. Bush
was credited with a defeat in the
first encounter, having relieved Hoyt
in the opening game.

star who has made a name for him
self as a pinch hitter in contests to
date, failed as a starter on the
mound yesterday. He was followed
to the mound by Jack Scott, Virgil
Barnes and Claude Jonnard.
The Yankees outhit their opposi-
ton fourteen to three yesterday, be-
ing led in the attack by Jumping Joe
Dugan, who was credited with q
home run in the second inning with
two aboard. Dugan also made three
other safeties, and Bob MeuseI clout-
ed out a triple and two singles.
Aaron Ward increased his total num-
Der of hits in the series to nine by
making two yesterday.
Bill Ryan and Art Nehf are the
Giant twirlers who have been sue
cessful in games to date, while Herb
Pennoek, Bob Shawkey and Joe
Bush are the Yankee winners. Aaron
Ward is the leading Yankee bats
man, and Ruth is second, while for
the Giants, Stengel, Frisch, Young
and e. Meusel are the leaders.
Sixty-two thousand, eight hundred
and seventeen fans witnessed the
game yesterday, a new record.
The work of Joe Bush yesterday
reminded fans of ten seasons ago of
his performance in 1913 when he
pitched the Athletics to a victory
over Jeff Tesreau. the Ozark Bear,
representing the Giants. Bush was
nineteen years old then and a rookie.
