EW YORK, October 7—Only the faint-hearted among sympathizers with the cause of McGraw lost hopes when the Giants were shut out in the initial tilt of New York’s exclusive series for the high- est honors in base ball, but the spectacle of the Yankees riding roughshod to victory in the second battle by an identical score, 3 to 0, is something else again. Now, with the third round of the battle about to be staged, they have started to scramble for cover, giving every indication of hav- ing deciphered the hieroglyphics on the fence and being anxious to get from under. From President Stoneham down to the bat boy, every one officially connected with the Giants voices the assurance that they are far from through; that the National League champions are of the caliber to sur- mount the hurdle confronting them and drill on to triumph. Subsequent developments may demonstrate this is true, but the rank and file of the Giant fans are not so sure. They argue that only results count, and that That is what 1 mean when I say | a y 3 g e 3 you! Az mlEsG the Tan if | and held it to hix nose.

Until the ninth inning a lit- tle pop fly by Rawlings, in round three, that fell untouched between Peckinpaugh and Ruth, was the only bingle yielded by the youthful Yankee. Then Frisch, who Wednes- day whaled four hits in succession off Mays, and yesterday was impotent on his first three appearances, rammed & safety to right and robbed Hoyt of the distinction of being the second ever to pitch a one-hit world series game. Two bingles in nine Innings is mag- nificent work against a club of the Giants’ plunking prowess, however, and the fact that Hoyt issued a fist- ful of passes does not detract from the brilliance of his exhibition, as they were handed out singly and off- set by an equal number of whiffs. Arthur Nehf, the left-handed ace in McGraw's deck of pitching cards, performed a rather notable feat him- self in holding the Yakees to a mere trio of swats, but the southpaw con- stantly was in hot water through his Huggin check it and pumped flent asiandyRumped the pellet to ;ml;]tly o Nent, louble play was in sight, Giant heaved wide of !’lellnss at second.

Th it Yanks all in motion, HD;: ;ll:d":: Ruth scored and Meusel took third when Pipp knocked a slow, high bounder to Rawlings, and them, with Ward up, Meusel duplicated McNally feat of the day before and stole home. Nehf was not using the stem-winding motion affected on the other occasior by Douglas. The ball reached its des- tination yards in advance of Meuse! and at a good height, but Smith muf- fed it in_a most inglorious manner lflg.lh. Yank did not even have to slide, futilely for, and Peck walked with two down. Worked to the ultimate count, Ruth drew his second slve walk.
