two himself. His home run, with
two on. in the third, put Wash
ington ahead and he kept on
pounding the ball all day. He
now leads the sluggers for the
series.
Hopes to Win.
I suppose McGraw will now use
Nehf again. Victory yesterday
would have let him gamble q BIZ,
but with the series tied up, the
winner may be the club taking
today's game.
Bucky Harris viii probably
send me to the box today. / have
recovered completely from Satur.
days game and hope to win my
first world series game.
That New York run In. the first
inning was not earned, but II
the Giants In front. Lindstronl
on Frisch's infield out. Young hit
a bouncer to Bluege near second
and was safe on Ossie's low throw.
4AA0s Oc1AA 8OL away OuQSG ana
It was easy for Lindstrofn to score.
Everybody got real thrill when
Goose Goslin put US ahead in the
third with his home run. McNeely
and Harris had hit safely and
were on base with two out when
the home run came.
The big crowd let up a roar that
lasted all the time it took Goose
to run around the bases. We had
a two-run lead on that hit, and
you could tell what 1t meant to us
by the way Mogride pitched the
last half. He famed Young and
Kelly, and Meusel went out on a
long fly to Goslin. We then felt
sure we could hold them.
The Goose broke loose again IN
the fifth when he scored two more
runs. His single in the second
went to center. His home run
went into the right field stand His
last single In the fifth skipped
past Jackson into left. That shows
how hard II is to play for him. He
Is always dangerous and doesn't
always hit to the same place.
McNeely Had Good Day
Earl McNeely had good day at
bat. He is a youngster with u
great future. He proved very valu-
able to us in our pennant race and
will improve next year. sIe was a
hard man for the Giant pitchers to
fool today.
Buchy Harris showed his real class
in the seventh at GoWdy's expense.
He went over to the bag and got
both hands on Hanks hot grounder,
then he Strengthened up and threw
out the runner. That was robbery
an right and gave US a lot more
confidence
But Harris wasn't done. Frisch
in that same inning, after two were
out, hit one past Judge. That was
going out to right for u single
until Harris came along from
nowhere, grabbed 1t with mis- gloved
hand and got him at first These
two plays were good enough for
any day.
Morgridge simply pitched himself
cut and lost control in the eighth
and had to leave.
The fans in .he center field stands
stood up to cheer George as he
was on his way to the club house.
That was a great tribute to him
and made him feel good. 1t took
away some of !le soreness at MOI
being able to complete the whole
game himself.
That was thrilling finish. Indeed
the series has given the fans
plenty OF thrills, and 1t il really
nerve wracking on the bench.
The Giants had Lindstrom and
Frisch on base In the ninth, with
one out. Young was at bat A
home run meant q tie score. Judge
scooped up his hot grounder and
Frisch was forced.
Up came Kelly. a long hitter.
The Giants still had a chance to
tie it up. But Marberry put on ali
his stuff and Kelly struck out. That
was great work for MarberrY. who
had been knocked out Of the box
the day before.
