The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-10-07

But Miller, wild to bust that
old BAN game wide open, could
not hold his horses. He took one
ball ana then when the next
one came along, and = bad one
too. he popped 8 maasly foul
right into Lindstromss glove, along
the foul line and the Griff's hopes
Of winning went sailing as high
as the ball.
After that Ruel hit to Lind
strom, forcing runner at third
but the game was really over the
minute Miller swung at Watson's
second pitch and nothing else
counted.
That's the Washington side Of
the affair. For the Giants lt
was FrisCh in every inning. All
around the infield and deep into
KeIIy's territory out I'm center
the FOrdham kid went tearing
after balls that seemed impOSsl-
BILE. But sometimes you think
nothing is impossible for Frisch
Eat least that's how he made
the Yankees feel In other world
series-and today he proved all
over again that he Is one of the
greatest second base-Inen in the
game and q money player that
You can't beat.
am sorry for the New York
fans that they didn't get q look
ct the two wonderful games at
Washington. At Washington we
saw two .dingers. don't
know what was the reason but
everybody at the, Polo Grounds
seemed dull and quiet compared to
the screaming rooters at the
Capital. don't think 1 ever saw
an outfielder removed in the mid
die Of an inning before except
for injury and when McGraw sent
Southworth out to centerfield Tor
George Kelly I got the big SUR
prise of the game.
There were three men on bases,
and It was the ninth inning, 50 !
suppose Mac figured q more ex-
perienced outfielder could save the
game. And Kelly's batting strength
would not be needed again. But
where I saw KelIy's chief strength
to the Giants in that particular sit
uation, was in case of a long lily
or a deep hit to any outfield, his
powerful throwing might have saved
the day. McGraw pulls q lot OF
odd moves In a series like this, but
benching Kelly in the ninth is
something / haven't been able TO
figure out vet.
In one way the New York fans
got the same thrill as the folks
e Washington, as the boys on
both teams insist on coming
through with thrilling rally In
the ninth. It looked like the
game was over when Harris put
one out Just over JacksOn's head
and the big rally Of the game
was underway, Sam Rice couldn't
do any more than pop up but
GOsIin laid down q swell bunt and
both runners were safe. This
didn't do Rosy Ryan bit Of good.
He was unsteady when Judge
Utrolled to the plate, and wasn't
q bit surprised as Joe drove out a
clean single, when Bluege came up
he was in the same fix that was
last year when Rosy faced me with
three men on base.
BIuege was wise and a lot less
excited than / was, so he calmly
took four wide balls and a Wash.
Ington run was forced across the
plate.
Thas was the last of Rosy Ryan
but he did his share and that home
run high into the right field stands
gave the customers just what they
seemed to want. As the old ball
sailed into a flock Of outstretched
hands Christy Matthewson, who
was sitting right behind me says:
Babe, did you ever get home
run in a world series when you
were pitching?" This brought a
flock OF ready answers from all
the experts" sitting around the
press box and / found out that
not only failed to do what Ryan
did, but he is the first National
League pitcher to ever turn the
trick. Jim Bagby for the American
League socked one against Brook
lyn, but / think Ryan and Bagby
have the honors to themselves.
