Gloomy, slate colored clouds hung
il the sky this morning. There was
almost a mist In the air and the at
mosphere was wet with impending
rain. Interference of the weather
jlnx, which has threatend for several
days, seemed imminent.
Job Almost Hopeless
The Yankees know they must even
the count with the worlds champions
today or their job is almost hopeless.
One more victory by the Giants win
impose upon the Yanks the task OF
winning three straight, and such
things aren't done often to McGraw's s
team.
Wally Pipp, the fine first baseman
of the Yanks and one Of the most i'm
portant cogs in the machine, will be
out of the game today and he may
not appear again in the series. Pipp
wrenched his lame ankle in. sliding
for second base and Miller Huggins
said this morning Pipp would not be
able to play.
Superb pitching by Arthur Nehf,
astounding fielding by Heinie Groh.
who is the greatest money player in
the game, and the home run of the
great Casey Stengel set the Yankees
back in the third contest.
Nehf Had to Be Perfect
Nehf had to be perfect to win from
Sad Sam Jones, the Yank squire. With
two pieces Of the most sensational
fielding, Groh twice saved Nehf when
it seemed he was about to fall under
rally, and the timely clout OF Old
Casey Stengel furnished the punch
that won the game.
Bob Meusel. the Yank left fielder,
was bitterly denounced by New York
writer's this morning and openly
charged with insubordination for re-
fusing to obey the order of Miller Hug

Dugan had doubled and Ruth had
been passed with none out.

The Yankees had three good chances
to score and two were nipped by
double plays while the third was cut
OF by Heinie Groh's almost impossible
stop and a headlong dive to third base
ntime for force out.
Yanks Optimistic
Considering that all the experts re-
gard yesterdays game as the turning
point in the series, the Yank players
were unusually optimistic Friday and
they feel absolutely confident they
will win today. Gabe Ruth, they point
out. is a murderer in the Polo Grounds
and If the Giants will pitch to him
they claim he will break up the game.
Bitter feeling is springing up be-
tween the players on the two clubs
Babe Ruth, under his signature,
charged the Giants today with dirty
playing" He said that Snyder grabbed
Wards bat and prevented him from
swinging at the third called strike in
the ninth inning Of yesterdays game,
and that he had done the same thing
in previous games.
The Giants are all sore" at Ruth,
claiming that the Babe was unnecs.
sarily rough against Snyder and Kelly
in the first and second games. The
champions pointed'out meaningly that
they carry spikes just as big as the
Babes.
Scott May Start
With the edge on the Yankees now,
the Giants are in position where
McGraw can jpggle little bit with
his pitchers. and he probably will
start Jock Scott today with Rosy
Ryan ready to take up the labors II
the big farmer doesn't get along.
! Bob Shawkey, still as steady as he
ever was, even If his arm Is not as
| good AS before, may get the call from
Huggins and young Waite Hoyt will
be ready in the bull pen.
