Out-thinking. Out-witting his oppon-
ents. Arthur Nehf, McGraw's last
pitching ace, collapsed yesterday in
the eighth inning of the sixth world S
series game and the New York Yam
KEGS rode to triumph and their first
world championship. They overcame
n three-run lead to win the game,
6 to 4, and the series, four games
to two.
The Yankees, baffled through the
early innings by this pitching wizard
Nehf, entered the eighth three runs
behind and 1t seemed certain that the
Giants would win the game, square
the series and necessitate seventh
game to decide the championship.
Aaron Ward. the Yankee second
baseman. whose bat has been busiest
of all during the series, was first
at bat in that inning. He hit a
high one that was gathered in by
First-baseman Kelly and Nehf still
appeared strong. Only two hits had
been made off his delivery then, one
of them Rnth's home-run in the first
inning. Then Schang went to bat
and hit the first ball pitched TO left

batter of them all. struck out.
A moan from the stands, Bob
Meusel at bat, two out, the bases
still full. Meusel's bat cracked the
ball to center field for single. Two
runs across the plate. Cunningham,
retrieving the ball. threw wild to

The scoring ended there and so did
the series.
John McGraw's great baseball ma

SIX RECORDS FALL
BEFORE WEALTH OF
HOMERS IN SERIES
Several Other Hitting
Marks Go by the
Boards, Also.

New York, Oct. 18.-Six world
series home run records were broken,
and two more were equaled in the
spectacular battle between the. Giants
and Yankees, while several other hit
ting records were tumbled.
Casey Stengel, whose two home runs
gave the Giants their decisive margins
in both of the teams histories. and
Babe Ruth. whose pair of round trip
wallops gave the second game TO the
Yankees, were the chief recOrd-break'
erS.
Stengel's feat of supplying two win
ming home runs in one series betters
the mark of Frank Baker, who won
two games for the old Athletics win
circuit wallo?s but in separate SERIES
1911 and 1913.
Three records fell to Ruth. Two
homers in single game had beep ac-
complished three times before IN Sc
RIGS history-by Pat Dougherty, Harry
Hooper and Benny Kauff-but in
none Of these cases did the wallops
come in successive innings. as dld
Ruafs. The Yankee star bagged his
in the fourth and fifth innings of the
second game.
Babes third homer of the series, in
the sixth game. broke the record OF

the rival teams, with five apiece. share
the honor of SCATTERING the former
high record of three. set by the Phila-
tlelphia Athletics in 1911 and dunli-
Gated by the Boston Red Sox in 1915.
The record Of four home runs by
both teams in n single game, set by
the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia
Nationals in 1915, was OBLIGATED in
the second contest when Ruth's pair
were added to blows by Irish Meusel
and Ward. The Yankees. with three
