He was beaten In a nerve-racking 12-inning battle, by a score of 4 to 3, after pitching a great game. Two homers b Kelly and Terry in the temporary eft field bleachers put him at a disadvantage. Both would We picked up a run in the sixth and tied the score in the ninth on Peck inpaugh’'s double. McNeely didn't play in far enough for Nehf in the twelfth. The pitch- er's short whack got away from him and then he made a bad throw. This put Gowdy, who had been hit by Johnson. on third,and Nehf on sec- ond. We snuffed Gowdy out at the plate on Frisch's bounder. Nehf later scored on Young's short hit to center. Again MeNeely was playing a bit too deep. The Giants got what proved to be the winning run on Kelly's long fiy. 1 sent Shirley He went to second when muffed his pop fly. I scored with a hit to center after McNeely had popped out. Nehf was plainly weakening. Rice crashed the ball to center. Southworth juggled it a bit and Rice kept on to second. He took a chance on putting the winning run on the middle station. He is a fast man on the bases and had the per- centage in his favor. Kelly, on top of this, made a wonderful stop of Gos- lin’s smash that Nehf was unable to field. He shot the ball to Terry just a step ahead of the Washington slugger for the third out. He saved a tie. Johnson’s next effort in the series wasn't so good. The,Giants hit him hard and were entitled to their 6 to victory. But even then we always had a chance until the eighth when the Giants got three runs. Johnson himself helped them by fumbling Wilson's roller. But for that the Giants wouldn’t have scored in the eighth. He was heartbroken after his second defeat. ireatest Pitcher of All Time. Fans throughout the country, who to bat for Johnson. Jackson hirley to get in a world series, realized his first defeat had been excusable. They predicted that he would have the Glants eating out of his hand the next time he fuced them. And the great pitcher had failed again. No wonder he was hear broken. He had pitched us to victory in_the American League race only to fall down in the big Interleague test, not once, but twice. Before we won the pennant he told me one night that if he could help Wacshington lead the league he didn't added that he didn’'t mind if he never pitched in a world series. Such is the loyalty of the greatest pitcher of all time. I cheered him up as best I could after the defeat in New York. I knew he had pitched two creditable games. 1 told him so. I figured even then on calling upon him if we played a seventh game and the opportunity presented it- self. There couldn’'t have been a more | cracked under the strain. No as the pitcher most likely to start Martin and the excellent handling by Ruel made him a winning pitcher. Ogden said his arm felt good after he fanned Lindstrom. Ruel told me he seemed to have plenty of stuff. I let him pitch to Frisch. He walked the New York captain. I immediately called upon Mogrid, The veteran left-hander pitched a beautiful game until the sixth. T made my second home run of the scries in the short left fleld bleachers in the fourth The tally was the only one of the game until Mogridge weakened. 1 promptly substituted Marberry, but the New Yorkers came out of the inning with three runs. But We Came Back! We blundered badly in the fleld, making two glaring errors. 1 guess the crowd thought we had at last \ But we rallied and tied the score in the eighth when I bounced a lucky hit over Lindstrom's head with the | bases fyll. This was the time to call upon Johnson. He had warmed up well. He told me he was fit. I knew he would pitch his arm off, if necessary, to win the game. He was chéered to the echo when he entered the box. But the crowd sat stunned when Frisch lashed a triple to center after Lindstrom had popped to Taylor. I told Johnson to pass Young, a dangerous left-hand hitter. Up came George Kelly. He had made a home run off Johnson in the opening game. ¥ had scored another run with a fiy. He was one of the longest and most dangerous hitters in the National League. Still I didn't fear him as much as Youns. Johnson wound up. The ball shot over the plate. It was a strike. Again the ball whistled toward the tense figure in the batter's box. Again Kelly swung—and again he missed. As Walter made ready to deliver his third piteh I said a little prayer. I knew he was demanding everything of his mighty right arm. I could tell he was counting on his blinding speed to fool Kelly on three pitched balls. He succeeded. Kelly took his third tutile awing. I knew that Walter was himself. The crowd seemed to sense it, too. A Niagara of cheers crashed over the fleld. ~ Walter repeated the strike- out performance on Kelly in the eleventh. Again he did so with men on the bases. Southworth, running for Groh, was on second. Then Wal- ter struck out the ever-dangerous Frisch and passed Youns intention- ally to get Kelly. Again he struck out the lanky Gfant. After that I knew it was only a question of time before victory would be ours. I felt the break had come when Hank Gowdy stumbled ever his mask twice and dropped Ruel's easy foul. Ruel hit the next ball pitched to left field for two bases. Jackson fumbled Johnson's grounder. Mc- Neely bounced the ball over Lind- strom’s head. That made the Wash. ington club the base ball champions of the world. MY GREATEST THRILL IN SPORT By CAPT. Heavyweight Boxer.

Otherwise Terry would have come up in the ninth against Johnson with Frisch on_third, Young on second and two out. He might have won the game and the wond championship for the Giants then and there.
