BY BILLY EVANS.


Former Umpire and Big League Manager.
-HE Giants beat the act OF
the Washington pitching
staff, Gen. Crowder, in one
inning yesterday in New
York scoring six runs in their
half of the sixth to win the sec
ond game of the world series, 6-1
Managerial strategy figured largely in
determining the winner, with the hon
ors going to Bill Terry of the Giants
The Senators had one big chance in
the fateful sixth, but lacked the punch
When the Giants took their turn at
bat In the last half Of the same in
ming they had their big moment and
the so-called "hitless wonders" made
the most Of it.
All the thrills of rather drab game
we're crowded into this one inning. II
you except the home run by Goose
Goslin in the third, the only run
scored by Washington.
Starting the sixth, the Senators filled
the bases, with only one down, on a
single and two bases on balls. But
they couldn't score. A wild pitch added
to the gayety of the occasion, but not
to the score of the American League
champions. It succeeded only in ad-
vancing two base runners.
Crowder Tires Badly.
TN their half, New York combined
eight hits and base on balls for
six runs.
Three things figured in the breaks
that made New York's convincing vic:
tory. Unquestionably the overworked
NrouIor ffroJ ol1y in, tho civth The
long half inning which he spent In
the shadows of the Washington dug
out, while his teammates we're filling
the bases without getting him any runs
didn't help.
Then there was the pop double by
Manager Bill Terry that fell just in
side the left field foul line. The Wash
ington outfield had shifted in the op-
posite direction for Terry and Manusl
just failed to reach his Texas Lacquer
That put runners on second and third
and set the stage for base hit that
would more than overcome Washing
tons one-run lead.
This is how managerial strategy en-
tered into this very important inning

leader, elected to gamble for a lot ol

safety-f1rst system. His failure to come
through, momentarily placed him In
an embarrassing position and some one
with second guess could have criti-
cized his judgment But Pitcher Schu-
macher kindly removed the opportu-
nifty for second guessing with a wilc
pitch.
COSLIN opened the inning with q
7 clean single to center. Pitcher
Schumacher of the Giants worked
too carefully on Manush and walked
him. Manush by his stance at the
plate showed he was ready to bunt OF

York inf1eld creep in too closely in or

late innings and only run separating
the two clubs, the accepted play was 9

and third, in scoring position.
Manager Crontn, always courageous
seeing that Terry and Jackson, expect
ing bunt, had rushed in almost under
his bat, decided to cross up the opposi-
ton by polling the ball past the New
York defense. He fouled of the pitch
As the New York infielders moved ir
close again, thinking Cronin would sc
back to the bunt, Joe took another
healthy swing, only to foul of once
more. He then flied out to Catcher
Mancuso.
