CASEY STENCIL WINS HIS SECOND GAME FOR GIANTS;
 HITS HOME RUN IN SEVENTH
WaIIy Pipp, Yank First Base man, Hurts Ankle Again And May Be Out For Rest Of Series


 would seem, in heroic mold, Casey Stengel, Casey the Immortal smashed the New York Giants to vic tory with home run drive this afternoon for the second time il three days of record-breakins kees.
 iLashed into the right field bleach CTS of the Yankee stadium in the seventh inning. Stengers blow broke upaa tense, thrilling hurling duel be- tween Art Nehf, southpaw star o1 the Giants, and Sad" Sam Jones of the Yankees and gave the worlds champions their solitary, but suffi- cient margin in a brilliant l to triumph.
 The greatest throng that ever paid it's way into baseball arena-65,0Ot frenzied fans-were massed in the gigantic enclosure, while 50 O0t swirled about the entrances outside saw Stengel deliver the climatic blow that gave John McGraw and his warriors two to one advantage in the most stirring baseball drama of all time.
 All worlds series records for at tendance and gate receipts were shattered by that vast gathering In .paseban's greatest amphltheatre.o e. Ihe dn- actual paid attendance was 62,450 besides 5000 more who did not go through the, ,turnstiles, while the to- la. receipts were $2O1.072, putting the three -game, figures beyond $500 900 and practically assuring for In history. The paid attendance broke the former record of 6O,53li Established in a doubleheader at the ktadium late in the regular season while the gathering, as a whole has but one superior in size Tn pasepall,
 fa,1xy WTTn essed the dedication or lHe DIE structure. last. spring. fFor a day Stengel had stepped out os the islimelight, while Babe Ruth rose to- the pinnacle of fame Wlth two circuit clouts that swept the Yankees to victory in the second game of the third successive ttie wals. But today "old Casey, DOW Hgged but lion-hearted, knew agaln fhe call to glory that was his when Isis ninth inning home run gave the 4iants their first triumph-and again he answered it's summons.
 SPerhaps the setting today was not sb dramatic as in the first game. put flat mattered not to Casey, for the Y%s,lt was just as effective and gave sS the veteran record that has no adnaT in worlds series annals-the feat of winning two games With home runs in a single champlohshlp, as nearest approach IS the marx 70, ol .AIome Run" Baker, who won two kames for the old Athletics with CIT 6tIft blows, but in separate serles' I9I1 and 1913 sAnd so, stripping to it's essentials the classic of 1923, in Whlch she Mne run punehAs far has. played Monumental role, the score stands; Sengel two victories, Ruth one.
 gIt was a heart breaking setback f6r Jones, melancholy nloundsman or the Yankees, who pitched even more ,brilliantly than did his southpaw r9val. Nehf, in triumph. And too. if was doubly disastrous for the Yankee machine, for with deteat rbey lost. at least temporarily, the skrvicesa of their star first baseman' Wally Pipp, who wrenched agalh hls weakened right ankle in. sliding to skcond In the seventh inning and was f6rced to leave the game. Just how serious is Pipp's injury could not be determined tonight but general helief prevailed that 1t might cost tie Yankees his services for the rsmainder of the series ana tnerepy' leopardize the chances of the Amerl- cAn League champions. His ankle swathed in bafdaEes Pipp was able to hobble about after the game. He declared he would be~reapy to go bAck into the lineup tomorrow but
 
 c{ub,. shook his head pessimistically. VT can't tell until tomorrow wheth- ef Pipp will, be able to go back into the game or not" declared Huggins, His ankle is swollen and giving him much pafn,; of course, but it may be pcssibIe ito work it around into con- dition tomorrow. In event he is un- able Ito go in, II will switch Ruth te first, where he Finished today s same, and probably use Harvey Hendricks or. Elmer Smith in right. r l may, send in .Hinky Haines. who took the Babes regular post for thes lastrfew innings this after nbon. .f
 fFor eight innings. Jones. hero of ak no-hit performance this season, haffled the Giants, save Stengel, With marvellous change of pace and shattered hits while Nehf~ was being found for six. Except for StengeI. oply one Giant got as far as second, but that mighty wallop of Casey wrecked the Yankee twirler's mas tsrpiece just when 1t seemed close to completion.
 Booming back in the eighth inning after that crushing blow. Jones dis played his metal by. striking out Bancroft and Groh in succession, but he was withdrawn in favor of d pinch hitter in the Yankee half Of tfal fHulHe, when t1uSglHS directed h{s last desperate, but futile attack. Joe Bush, victim of Stengels homer iA the first game, held the Giants httless in the ninth.
 SFacing the first real crisis of the Saries, John McGraw played his ace, NFhf,s and the nervy little southpaw came through With flying colors His work was only slightly less effective than that of Jones. Three times he faced serious threats by the Yankees and on each occasion he rose to the emergency and turned back his foe. In only one inning, the fifth, did the Yankees gather more than one hit off Nehf. He issued three passes, two of them purposely to Babe Ruth, and each time the strategy, unpopular though it was to the3 crowd that wanted to see the Babe bust 'em, he was vindicated.
 gThe encounter between "brute force and the master mind"-typified bX Babe Ruth and McGraw--was in t4e background. It was McGraw's turn to apply the punch, again with ,Sengel to decide a pulse throbbing duel, but the Babe, hero of yesterday, was largely eliminated from the pie tQre. though not of his own choosing. Huth was ready to carry on where He left off in the second game, but he Yas given. scant opportunity.
 fSuch of McGraws strategy as came tS the SurIdce tOudy was ueSlSneu To eliminate Ruth from the danger zone. and it was done by Nehf with neat ness and dispatch. Twice the Babe cAme to bat with prospective runs oh the bases, once in the fourth when Joe Dugan started the inning with a double and ag1in in the eighth with Dugan on base, But knowing what one devastating clout might do to game such as Nehf and Jones were stwirlipg, McGraw ordered the Babe passed Intentionally and both times Bob Meusel fell down misera-
