whose dynamic. personality and all- around brilliance stood out as one of the highest spots of the entire game. It was game that emphasized to even greater extent the evenness with which the rivals are matched, the keenness with which both are seeking the 1924 diamond title. Yesterday the experience of the Giants, four-times champion, and their superior steadiness under fire carried them through but today they met their match in smartness, speed and attacking power
 Washington lost no opportunity to- day. There was no cracking in the pinch and in the end, the clubs never it through on top.
 No Ceremony
 The whole game this afternoon was surrounded by an atmosphere diamet- rically opposite to that in the opening game. A crowd of equal proportions was on hand. but there were no cere- monies, no distracting influences or side issues. If they were present again, dignataries who yesterday held the spotlight, became just fans today. Then, too, the strain of the pre-series bribery scandal that shrouded the Giants and
 
 with suspicion and rumor, was absent. The game was the thing today--the crowd realized it, the players knew it and it seemed tonight that the rest of the series would be fought out with the playing issues dominating all else.
 Today the master mind," the tactics of McGraw, veteran Giant chieftain. failed in his attempt to make it two straight from the Senators. Having baffled Washington's heavy artillery of left-handed hitters in the first game with Art Nehf, veteran southpaw, Me- Graw relied on his second portsid star, Bentley, to keep the big guns silenced. But this strategy went awry and the proof of it came in the first inning when with two out, Sam Rice singled and Goose" Goslin, the teams clean up' slugger, came through with crashing home run into the bleachers in right center, giving the Senators lead that the Giants never could overcome.
 Settles Down
 Bentley settled down after that and 4or the next seven innings he and Zach ary waged q duel that was brilliantly close. Harris home run, shot that landed in the temporary left-field bleachers and a single by Rice in the fifth were the only hits in this seven inning span off Bentley, while Zachary allowed but two safe blows and run in the seventh that resulted from pass to Kelly, Meusel's single and double play which seemingly was de- Gberately employed to empty the bases at the expense of run.
 This piece of defensive strategy, which seemed good at the time with the Sena- tors well ih the lead, might have been costly had the Giants done more dam age than they did in the ninth. But it also was typical of an exhibition of tafield play, revolving around Harris, that scintillated from start to finish. Three rattling double plays figured in the defense that held the Giants at bay.
 The first of these came in the open ing inning and pulled Zachary out of the worse hole he faced, until the ninth. LindstrOm and Frisch, the first two batters to face him, drove out solid singles and, with one out, the Giants filled the bases on Kelly's Rrounder to Harris, which the Washing ton pilot, in his only mistake of the day, threw wild to second in an effort to force Frisch. Meusel, however, brought the rally to an abrupt end when he hit sharply to Bluege and a double killing followed via Harris and Judge.
 Lindstr0m Stars
 Young opened the fourth with single but Kelly slashed to Peckinpaugh the 1S-year-old rookie at third base, as the outstanding star. Lindstrom made n startling stab of hot shot by Bluge in the fourth inning, rolling to the ground and yet mailing his man in play that ranks with the best the series has yet seen. Again in the seventh, Lindstrom robbed McNeely of hit with a fine stop and throw.
 Thus. in rapid fire succession, the game came to its climax. Zachary naved the way for his own undoing in the ninth, when he developed sudden streak of wildness and walked Frisch, the first man to face him. Young popped out, but Kelly, hero of the Giants victory yesterday, followed with a long single to center on which Frlsch scored by an eyelash in a daring race for the plate. Harris momentarlly checked the rally when he made re- markable one-handed stab of MeuseIs sbarn hit towards right and threw him out at first. Kelly got to second, how ever, and came home with the tying run on another close play when Wilson singled.
 This was the end for Zachary, bat Marberry, enacting the role Of reiiet 1itcher in which he has starred all sea son. was equal to the emergency and tanned Jackson for the third out with three swiftly delivered strikes.
 Washington, thus narrowly averted disaster. made short work of the last and winning attack. Judge walked, was sacrificed perfectly by Bluege and raced across the plate amid a wild tumult when Peckinpaugh drove one Of Bentley's curves far into left field. Meu- sel made a vain attempt to catch the runner at the plate but it was too late and Gowdy did not even make an at- tempt to get his man.
