New York, Oct. 13.-Cast perman
emily, it would seem, in heroic mold,
Casey Stengcl--Casey the immortal
smashed the New York Giants to
victory with a home run drive yes
terday afternoon for the second time
in three days of record breaking
worlds series strife with the Yam
KEGS.
Lashed into the right field bleach
ers Of the Yankee Stadium in the
seventh inning, Stengels blow broke
up Il tense, thrilling hurting duel be-
tween Art Nehf southpaw star OF the
Giants, and Sad Sam Jones, Of the
Yankees, and gave the worlds cham
pions their solitary, but sufficient
margin in. Il brilliant | to 0 triumph.
The greatest throng that ever paid
its way into a baseball arena-G5,000
frenZied fans were massed in the gil
gantic enclosure, while 10000 more
swirled about the entrance outside
saw Stengel deliver the climatic blow
that gave John McGraw and his war
riors a two to one advantage in the
most stirring baseball drama of all
time.
Answers Call Again
For a day, Stengel had stepped out
of the lime light while Babe Ruth
rose to the pinnacle of fame with
two circuit clouts that swept the
Yankees to victory in the second
game of the third successive title
struggle between these Gotham ri
walls.
But yesterday "Old Casey" bow
legged but lionhearted, knew again
the call to glory that was his when
Giants their first triumphant
again he answered its summons.
Perhaps the setting was not
SO dramatic as in the first game, but
that mattered not to Casey, for the
result was just as effective and gave
to the veteran a record that has no
equal in worlds series annals-the
1sat e winning two games with
nome runs in single championship.
It's nearest approach is the mark of
'Home Run" Baker, who won two
games for the old Athletics with cir
cuit--blows, but in separate series,
1911 and 1918.
Stengel 2; Ruth l
And so, stripping to it's essentials
the classic of 1923 in which the home
run punch so far has played n mon
umental role, the score stands: Stem
gel two victories; Ruth one.
1t was heart breaking setback
for Jones, melancholy moundsman of
the Yankees, who pitched even more
brilliantly than did his soutbpaw
rival, Nehf, in triumph. And too, it
was doubly disastrous for the Yam
kee machine for with defeat they
lost, at least temporarily, the ser
vices of their star first baseman.
Wally Pipp, who again wrenched his
weakened right ankle in sliding to
second in the seventh inning and Was
forced to leave the game
Babe Gets Two Walks
Coming back in the eighth after
that crushing blow, Jones displayed
his mettle by striking out Bancroft
and Groh in succession but he was
withdrawn in favor of pinch hitter
in the Yankee fRlf of that inning
when Higgins directed his last des-
perate but futile attack. Joe Buch,
victim of Stengels homer in the first
game held the Giants hitless in the
ninth.
Facing the first real crisis of the
series John McGraw played his ace,
Nehf,i and the nervy little south paw
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.
In ionly one inning, the fifth, did the
Yankees gather more than one hit
off Nehf. He issued three passes,
two of them pWposely to Babe Ruth,
and each time the strategy, unpopu-
lar. though it was to the crowd that
wanted to see the Babe "bust 'em''
was vindicated.
