1t takes four games to win the

two.
r The Yankees have three of their
best pitchers rested and ready to

John McGraw is famed as h
greatest thinker in baseball. but he
never had SO much thinking to do
as now. Arthur Nehf. who pitched

series for the Giants, has had but
two days rest-pitchers usually take
three days-yet in order to be safe
McGraw is faced with the necessity

John Watson, the right handler,
who was knocked out of the box by
the Yankees in the first game, IL

staff who a had a good rest.

in today. depending upon him to
check the Yankees. who have been
hitting wildly in the last two
games. Yet 1t is certain that II
Watson is started, he will be hauled
right away from the pitching mound
as soon as anything like a run is
scored.

Miller Higgins is resting easy.

until Casey Stengel got gay with his
homerun bat. is the most likely
choice. with Hoyt in reserve. Should
the Yankees lose today, Pennock,
the Iefthander. who won the seconG
game for the Americans. is still on
deck.
