n YEW YORK, October 11.-What

A third Yankee and give the
game back to the common players.
Every club in the American League
would vote for it, The Giants, home
runned to death, to 2, in the fifth
and final game of the world series
yesterday at the Polo Grounds, would
stuff the ballot boxes.
If something like that isn't done,
It will be difficult to generate much
enthusiasm in the 1888 world series
next October, when the Yankees, no
doubt, will prepare to take another
luckless National League team apart
Twice before the Yankees reeled off
three straight pennants before taper
lag off. They have now been VIC
torious IN their last five world series
appearances and won six altogether,
which tops any other club in base ball
history. Up to this year the Yankees
were tied with the Red Sox and Ath-
letics at five world championships
each. They have now won 20 of their
last % interleague games.

Melton Goes Out Early.

CL1FF MELTON, the mountaineer
upon whom Terry had pinned his
hopes, again failed. The Yanks
knocked him loose in five innings.
Homers by Myril Hoag and Joe Di
Maggie In the second and third
frames softened him. Joe"s mighty
wallop smote flag pole on top of the
left field stands, or it might have been
going yet. Lazzeri's prodigious triple,
followed by Gomez's scratch single and
. Lou Gehrig double to center got
Melton excused for the afternoon in
the nth.
The Giants, intriguingly enough, got
some OF their best spot pitching of
the series after that. Al Smith, who
hadn't been permitted to start a game,
allowed the Yankees only one hit in
the next two INNINGS, and Don Bren-
nan, the Oldest and weightiest Giant Of
them all, matched his performance in
the last two.

been knocked out. The fighter was
able to walk and talk but he hadn't

with Melton. He was still out on his
feet Somebody asked him what had
happened. did he lose his stuff In
the nth inning?" NO" answered Cliff
IT still had my stuff, think. They
just started hitting"
Old Gus Mancuso, the Giants
catcher, shook his head at this. HE
lost his stuff," said Gus.
Schumacher Fails In Third.
BEFORE the third game Walter
johnson had said, THE Giants
look pretty bad. I don't think they
could finish in the frst division in
the American League" BY time the
third game was over nearly everybody
agreed with Walter except the National
League die-hards.
The third game found Monte Pear
son facing Hal Schumacher-for five
innings. Thereafter Schumacher wa
not on the premises. The Yankees
took = liking to what he served up
and scored all of their runs in 5-to-1
victory in the first five innings. Then

Pearson had no-hitter until the
NTH. He had a shutout until the
seventh. He had q complete game
until two were out in the ninth. Then
he could not stand the pressure. The
Yanks were humbled and Inundated.
They had to use q relief pitcher to
get the last man out
Hadley Blows for Yanks.
OVERNIGHT the Giants seemed to
have adopted \ new attitude. In
stead Of being scared and awed, they
took the field for the fourth game
with 4 devil-may-care frame of mind.
After all, they were beaten. They
knew it. Now it was just q question
OF whether they could prevent a clean
sweep by the Bronx Bombers.
1t was Hubbell versus Bump Had
ley. Had the series been close Hadley
probably would not have been used
But the Bumper could give Gomez a
third day OF rest. and so it was that
ne worked-for an inning or 80.
Hadley had nothing in the second
round and the Giants began to hit.
The crowd sat stunned. For once the
Bombers were on the defense. Base
hits screamed and searched the out
field. Paul Andrews relieved Hadley.
When the inning finally was
over the Gaints had scored SIX
runs and were leading, 6 to 1.
As If suddenly aware having done
great wrong. the Giants became lit

three errors to set q new four-game

about him. On all sides his army
was cracking. He held q lead. and
ne suddenly must have realized it
was he. and not the Giants, who held
1t. And Hub delivered. It was 4
magnificent effort, even If perpetrated
against the Yanks' seconds string
pitchers. But 1t only postponed the
execution that came yesterday.
Gomez won his fifth series game in
hve starts yesterday He was not
good, but he was lucky and he was
tough with men on the base paths
That was important. Melton started

The fifth inning murdered
him again and the Giants were
down, 1 to Z.
Gomez staggered home to victory.
Any Of the first six teams In the
American League probably would have
beaten Goofy, but the Giants couldn't.
They put the men on bases but
couldn't score.
30 the series ended and the YANKEES
threw their big victory dinner. It
was just As well. The weather was
cold and damp and foot ball was In

Winners Simply Great.

THE Giants, steam-rollered for the
second straight year, offered no
solution Of the Yankee problem No
body in their dressing room moaned
THE lucky stiffs." Bill Terry, their
manager, could not recall ever having
seen a greater team than the Yam
KEGS, nor one as great in every respect.
The only thing the Giants said was
that they might have seen better UNI
piring than that of Red Ormsby, who
was behind the plate in the first and
final games. Some were certain they
had seen better umpiring. But none
suggested that the better team hadn't
won.
That would have been to put it
mildly ridiculous. The Yanks fairly
bulged with surplus class from the
moment the series started on We'd
needay. Their hitters were dynamite
IN the clinches, their pitching fast
and furious. an they went through
the series without committing an err
ror. No one has discovered yet how
TO beat that kind Of base ball.
The Giants, on the other hand,
failed dismally in almost every de-
partment. They made nine errors,
every member of the infield con-
tfibuting at least one, and Dick Bar
tell, their sparkplug shortstop, mufing
three.

the seventh, they put couple men on
the sacks and got their chilly followers
