& NATS ONLY LOSER AFTER 370. LEAD Bucs’ Comeback in 1925 Set Precedent; Mancuso Stars as Terrymen Rally. ‘ BY BURTON HAWKINS, S8taff Correspondent of The Star. EW YORK, October 6—Fondly embracing & wild hope that has only one precedent in world series history, the Giants kissed off their dramatic 5-to-4 10- inning victory over the Yankees yes- terday, and today were courting the‘ idea of winning Gotham’s subway | sports spectacle after granting the American League standard bearers what still seems to be an overwhelm- ing lead. With the affections of most spec- tators turning to the courageous | underdogs. the team spirit of the | Giants was buoyed considerably as they focused their attention on the sixth and possibly most crucial game | ©of base ball's annual classic. | Only the 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates, have accomplished what the Giants | pray will be duplicated—win a series | after spotting their opponents a 3-1 game lead in a 7-game series—but the herculean task confronting them fis! not impossible when examining the residue of calm calculation. H Pittsburgh’'s stirring come-back against the Senators is recalled all too vividly by Washington's diamond populace. The Pirates dropped the first, third and fourth games to the Griffs and followed with three con- | secutive victories. Postponed a day because of rain, the final game never- theless was played in a downpour, with Pittsburgh trimming Walter Johnson, 9-7, to write & new chapter in base ball annals. i Giant Hurlers Are Tired. JUST as the Pirates wished for and ' saw their hopes realized with a postponement due to drippy clouds, | the Giants were fervent in their pray- | ers for the blessing of stormy weather | today. Promise of clear skies and warm weather dimmed their ultimate objective somewhat, however, and they concentrated on making the best of 1 & rather dismal slab situation. With the aid of rain. the Pirates | were able to send Ray Kremer back on the firing line to trim the Senators after four days of rest. The Giants today faced the gargantuan aspect of | winning twice with pitchers who will have had but two days of rest when | they step on the mound. | Manager Bill Terry planned to send portly Fred Fitzsimmons, victim of } Saturday’s heart-breaker four-hit per- | formance that was nullified by the | Giants’ impotency at the plate, against | the Yankees today. If Fitzsimmons | succeeds, Terry intends to pit the | arm-weary Carl Hubbell against the Yankees' famed “murderers’ row” to- morrow. | Fitzsimmons, defeated on an in- ferior performance by Bump Hadley, 8t least was a sentimental favori with the fickle fans to tame the Yan- kees, and many followers felt the rug- | ged flinger could withstand another | gruelling game better than the frail | Hadley, who was Manager Joe Mc- | Carthy's probable selection. Hal's Courage Is Maguificent. I'r ‘WAS & plucky and sometimes | brilliant display of slab skill on | the part of Hal Schumacher that acted asan oxygen tank to the fast- dying hopes of the Giants and instilled | them with new life. | Although in trouble virtually every | inning, Schumacher vastly improved over the twirler who led the Giant parade of pitchers in the crushing 18-4 smothering in the second game, pulled through when the chips were down to outlast Red Ruffing and Pat | Malone. The Giants blazed Hal with a three- run lead at the outset, when they combined two doubles and three sin- | gles with gratifying results in the first | inning. Moore, leading off, pumped a dou- | ble to left and scampered home when | Bartell drilled a double to center. Terry fanned and Ott grounded out | to Crosetti, Bartell taking third. Rip- | ple brought Bartell in with a single | to 1éft. Mancuso then singled to right, sending Ripple to third, and Ripple | scored when Jackson singled to the same spot. Col. Terry’s Defense Cracks. TH! Yankees whittled that lead | down with George Selkirk's sec- | ond home run of the series, a blast into the right feld bleachers in the ! second inning, and scored another run | in the third on two walks, & wild | pitch and an error. ‘They knotted the count in the sixth | after the Giants had pushed over an- | other run in their half of the inning | on s single by Ott, a pass to Ripple, an infleld out by Mancuso and an error by Crosetti, who juggled White- head’s slow roller in his ®anxiety to aip Ott at the plate. Belkirk, after Gehrig and Dickey had gone out, singled to center and Powell beat out a slow roller to Jack- son. When the Giants’ captain threw high over Terry's head, Selkirk scored and Powell scooted to third. Powell then scored the tying run on Laszzeri’s aingle to right. ‘The teams battled down to the tenth on even terms, with both podgy Pat Malone, who relieved Ruffing in the | seventh, and Schumacher hurling brilliant ball.

The Giant import from Export, Pa., meant as much to the Giants in their great pennant drive as Di Maggio did to the Yankees. The Giants needed another Blondy Ryan, as in 1933. Rip- ple was just the man. A flying cinder gave Ripple his big chance. Hank Leiber, one of the greatest hitters of the 1935 campaign, had the center field berth clinched as the Giants opened their season and then stuck around the lower regions of first division. Proves Boon to Team. ON! day a cinder buried in Leiber’s eye. Manager Bill Terry called for Ripple. From that very day on the Giants were next to unstoppable, driving through to the pennant. With Ripple in center field, hustling and hitting, the Terry men won seven games, lost one, and then reeled off a 15-game winning streak. ‘Terry, no slouch himself when he comes to gameness on the diamond, says Ripple is one of the most cour- ageous players he's ever seen. He'll tell you this story: During a game against Philadelphia Ripple crashed into a wall while try- | ing to haul down a hard hit.

His throw was a strike across home plate. Hard work made a strong boy, a hard hitter, out of Ripple. At 13 he was forced to work for a living. He got & job in a lumber camp. “That work developed my wrists,” he explained. Ripple, like Di Maggio, has powerful wrists and seldom takes & full cut at the ball. At Montreal he went great guns, and four big league scouts rushed up there to look him over. But on two occasions, with the big league ivory spies sitting in the stands, he hurt bought him. Ripple no longer is a major league ripple. He’s a tidal wave. PLAY 11-INNING TIE.

HALFBACK ..ONE OF BALL-CARRIERS To COME OUT EAR HE HAD 8 GALLOPS OF | &pecta’ Dispatch to The Star. | EW YORK, October 6.—Almost from the day that Abner Doubleday had a brainstorm, laid out the first diamond and said, “Go to it, boys. and play a new- fangled game called base ball,” they have been saying there is no senti- f in the past, of course, and even when | this world series its last rites and | burial last night, you were wonder- ing again. In the tenth inning, for in- stance, there was the picture of Pat Malone pitching to Bill Terry, and somehow, even when vou are impartial, you didn't want to see it because, regard- less of who came out on top, there would have been a real tug at your heart. On third base the gaunt figure of | Joe Moore danced back and forth, | waiting to come home with the run that would bring the Giants victory | and keep them in the series. In order to come home, Col. Terry would have hit a long fly to left field and Joe that he, and not the weak-armed Jake Bowell, could make the throw | to the plate. | As it was, the fly was long enough to let Moore score, regardless of who | threw it, and Jo-Jo raced over the | plate with what proved to be the win- ning run, “You're Safe, Malone!” GIANT or Yankee supporters, or impartial as the measles, you could not find fault with that fly that Terry hit except that it snatched a ball game from a knock-kneed old fellow in the pitching box, who, for 16 years, has been trying to win a world series game. If you knew the story of both Terry and Malone you would have preferred to see Sambo | Leslie at bat, for instance, and some- | body like Johnny Murphy pitching. Terry walked up to the plate in this erucial moment with people —real, honest-to-good- ness Giant fans, too—hollering : to him, and it was not encour- agement, . “Take him out.” somebody in 8 box seat yelled, meaning for Terry to take out Terry. “You're safe, Malone,” somebody else bawled. “It's only old man Terry coming up.” In truth the colonel from Memphis has been a pathetic figure in the series. He doesn't run the bases but functions with a sort of an amateur heel-and-toe movement. He has not made a hit in his last 11 official times at bat and on some pitches he swings like the proverbial gate. Then, too, & losing manager seldom is popular. He's Symbolic of Giants. AND yet Terry’s very presence in the series is symbolic of the Giants. He does not belong in the classic and at times you wonder if the Giants do. Bill, you see, really is a hospital case. He has had a bad knee and has been nursing it for weeks. He is no young- ster and when this series is ended you probably will have seen him on the active list for the last time. The Giants were a tired lot of Old Men of Manhattan when they went into this series, and the most tired of all was Terry.
