Until that eighth, Artie Nellf
had pitched mastery game. He
was the mastery mind. And up
to then il looked as though Mr..
McGraw was not going to use
his ''daily dozen" pitchers, but
would stick to Nehf's setting up
exercises, which had been setting
down exercises for many frames.
Ruth, before hitting a homer in
the first, said to Snyder that he
was tipping his bat. But Snyder
claims he was only tipping his
mitt, which is bad in games of
chance.
It is too bad 1t didn't rain so

The element of luck did not fig
ure in any consequential way in
this series. The battles were de-
cIded largely upon sheer Elerit.
And because they were, the Yam
KEGS proved to the baseball world
that their team is infinitely su-
perior to the opposition.
The Giants fought us as best
they could-and they certainly
made us step to win the final com.
bat. But the Giants have no com.
plant to offer over anything that
happened. They were beaten fairly
and squarely and that the series
went as far as six games was due
only to the fact that Casey Stengel
hit out two spectacular home runs
at critical moments, something that
Stengel probably could not dupli-
cate in another hundred world
series games.
In triumph we are not forget
full OF a feeling of sympathy for
Art Nehf, the Giant sOuthpaw.
Art pitched one of the most beau
tiful games that we have ever
looked at for seven innings. 1t
seemed to the Giant admirers that
we were certainly doomed to de-
feat. But even the fact that the
Giants had a three-rEun lead didn't
discourage us for single minute.
We felt that sooner or later We
would begin to smash Nehf's of
ferings through the wonderful
Giants defense-0nd that's exactly
what We did.
I have known many happy mo
ments in my baseball career-aHt
so have the other Yankees. but
none of us has ever experienced
quite such a delirious bit OF 10;
as came to us when Bob Mouse
punched out the hit in the eight
inning which cleared the bases, put
us in the lead AMI won for us the
sixth and final game in the world
championship of 1923.

Indeed, it is conceivable that IL
the Yankees failed to win that game,
our Mr.. Higgins even now would be
sizzling on the pan for having picked
the wrong pitcher, for having a ball
club that couldn't hit Nehf, and any
one Of a multifarious series Of mis-
takes. including the fact that he was
Miller Higgins to begin with.
AT the outset of the series, many
critics compared Higgins with Nc.
Graw to the formers great dis.
credit. The writer was inclined TO
view the comparison as one without
solace to the worthy Miller. The
writer was wrong. At no time during
the series was Higgins outsmarted
by McGraw, stories of the latter's
weighty brooding to the contrary.
In fact, Higgins didn't make a
serious mistake in six games Of
tense, sensational baseball. McGraw
did.
He allowed Nehf to remain i'm
the box In the eighth after passing
Holman, filling the bases. under
the erroneous belief that Nehf
was to pitch next to Whitley Witt,
lefthand hitter who had hitherto
been an easy victim in three ap-
pearances at the plate. Instead,
Higgins cOuntered with Joe Bush,
q heavy Hghthand hitter, and
Nehf's collapse was complete.
Knowing that he had no push"
hitter to deal with, Nehf pressed
too hard, although he had abandoned
his curve In favor of fast balls. In
consequence Bush walked on four
straight pitches. forcing a run over
the plate and Nehf out of the
game. The incident had as much
TO do as anything else with winning
the game and Higgins engineered
it.
AS for McGraw, we have always
felt that he is given too much credit
for the plays his men make. He
cannot possibly direct every move
Of his players on the field, yet
their smart plays are always his.
We consider this quite unfair to
such smart ball players as Frisch
Bancroft, Groh, Young and others.
However, McGraw has done the
obvious and graceful thing today
in admitting that the better :earn
won. A man to man survey of the
series would seem to bear him out
