YANKS VICTORS in WORLD ST
Surprises All
When Giants Go
DOlun to Defeat
POLO GROUNDS NEW YORK,


~e,oDer 15.-G;.me and as stout
hearted as any team that ever walk
ed, the surprising New York Yam
KEGS jerked victory out of the fire
here this afternoon and won the
series when they defeated the New
York Giants to in the sixth and
deciding game for the champion
ship.
Five runs scored in the eighth
inning when the Giants went to
pieces behind wild pitching gave
the Yankees sensational victory,
when it seemed they would be laid
low for the second time by the art
istic hurling Of Art Nehf, the star
Giant southpaw.
Nehf had held the hard-h hitting
Yanks to hits and run, a homer
by Babe Ruth in the first inning
until he went into the eighth. The
Giant southpaw then went to pieces
and Bill Ryan who succeeded him
was just as wild and with terrible
pitching the whole Giant team went
to pieces.
The Yankees scored five runs on
three hits, three passes and wild
heavy by Bill Cunningham into the
Yank dugout from deep center field.
1t was only the game fighting
heart of the Yanks that kept them
trying hard while Nehf had them
making their best efforts look fool
ish.
When Babe Ruth came to bat in
the eighth inning with two runs in
and the bases filled young Bill
Ryan became . hero for moment
by tanning the great Ruth.
Bob Meusel Turns Hero
Bob Meusel the lanky outfielder
turned hero then with a single
that smacked in two runs and Du-
gan scored when Cunningham made
his terrible wild return of the drive
to center.
When Ruth knocked his third
home run Of the series in the first
it seemed that the Yanks were to
continue the Wild batting rampage
that upset the Giants in the fourth
and fifth games. Ward singled in
the second but from then on to the
eighth Nehf held the slugging
Yanks like bash leaguers before
his masterful pitching.
The Giants scored in the first
when Groh and Frisch singled, Pep
Young, the flashy Giant right field
er then delivered timely single
and Groh crossed the plate.
In the fourth the Giants scored
again when Frank Frisch who had
done some. heroic fielding to- save
Nehf, singled and went to second
on Young's infield out. Frisch
dashed wildly from second on the
hit and run, and scored when Gun
ningham came through on his end
of the play with a hard single. =
In the fifth the Giants scored
again when Big Frank Snyder came
out of his slump and knocked Il
Ahome run into the upper left field
stands, his first hit of the series.
Only $4,000 Present
Frisch s triple and a single by
Meusel pushed over the Giants
fourth run in .he sixth inning. All
this time the hitting Of the Giants
was done off Herb Pennock, the
left handler of the Yanks who had
made the Giants look so simple IN
his other starts in the series. Pen
mock lacked control and when he
worked himself into a hole on prac'
tcally every batter the Giants
waited for a good one and then
slapped it out.
Official figures were not avail
able but the crowd was the small
est of the series on account OF the
threatening weather, estimated az
$4,000.
Victory in the sixth game gave
the Yankees the championship by
score of 4 to games and MADE
them successful i'll winning a world
series for ths first time i'll the
history of the club.
The crowd jumped ON the back
Of Babe Ruth and nearly trampled
Sam Jones under foot in their eff
forts to show their high regard for
his brilliant work.
The score:
