York, Oct. 4—(By the A..P) ~The aunconquerable spirit to keep New York Americans for the 1923 ti- tls of world baseball champions. Th score was 3 to 2. To overcome a 2 to 0 lead that the Yankees had acquired, the - Glants, turned back in all their previous as- saults upon the American leaguer's de- fense, crashed out four singles, one right after another, in the eighth inn- ing, and then crowned their furious attack with a sacrifice fly. The four hits crushed Joe Bush, the Yankees speed-ball pitcher, and tied the score,| ‘Walite Hoyt succeeded Bush and on his fourth delivery yielded the sacri- fice fly which scored the deciding run of the game. Pitchers’ Battle Develop: hill in low speed. Early when Bush and Art Nehf, the Gianti southpaw, were fighting a scoreless duel, the Nationals couldn't score with two successive singles. In the seventh inning they banged out three one-bag- gers in a row, and couldn't score. The Giants simply went back in the eighth inning and kept on pounding out one baggers until it was impos- @fble for the stubborn Yankee de- tense to prevemt them from crossing the plate. Ruth's Accounts for One Babe Ruth, the celebrated home-run wwatter, swung violently at the ball ull afternoon. Nothing that even left the impression that he could hit a Bome run came from his heavy bat, but he did bang out a single that broke through the monotony of the early scoreless innings which Nehf and Bush imposed upon the batters. th's timely clout came in the sixth inning. Whitey Witt had slammed a triple into left field and had been run down when he tried for home on a blow to short from the bat of Joe Dugan. As Witt lost out in his chase \0 the plate, Dugan galloped on to sec- ond base, and from there he was sent in with the first run of the series when Ruth punched a short single nto right field. 4 In the next inning the Yankees got heir second run. Bob Meusel singled past Heinie Groh, Wallie Schang laid fown a bunt to push Meusel along to second, but before the Giants got through playing with the bunt he had reached thire Nehf, in pi ng up the soft tap that 3chang laid in front of the plate, de- tided to try to catch Meusel at sec- >nd instead of being satisfied with the sut at first. He threw wild,’ and the ball went past the second baseman and into right field. There it was fumbled by Young. This lapse permitted Schang to reach second while Meusel went to third. Aaron Ward then lifted a fly 0 the center fleld bleachers and Meu- sl trotted home. Nehf and Bush Pulled Out Neither Nehf nor Bush was able to tinishe the job he began. Each was wuffering from a storie bruise on the aeel. For six innings it appeared that, lke Achille, they had only this one rulnerable spot. But these appearances ild not deceive the men hired to hit ter John McGraw and Miller (Huggins. Nehf, mixing his slow ball with his wpeedler service in a baffling med- oy, had the Yankees pretty well sub- ugated until Witt broke through with ais triple. McGraw removed him in he seventh for a pinch hitter, Earl Bmith, who went to bat after the Gi- ants, with one out, had filled the bases on muccessive singles by Kelly, Sten- %ol and Snyder. A Big Moment in Game At this point came one of the big mements of the game. Smith, crouch- ing down like a golfer about to putt, bided his ‘time until the count stood three balls and two strikes. The Gi- ants were two runs behind. Bysh flung the next ball straight over- the plate. Smith hit to Scott at ehort, who threw to second, starting a double play that snce more smothered a Glant assault. it was from this set-back that Mc- Oraw's men—Bancroft, Groh, Frisch, Meusel and Young—came back in the *ighth inning and pounded out the hits sad eacrifice fly that brought victory. Giants Eratic in the Field In the fleld the Yankees played per- 'ectly from start to flnl!h,y lnpea ymooth steady manner. The Giants were different. Their defense was made 1p of flashes and flaws alike. Young made two errors, one of them costly, but he also heard the cheers of the crowd for hiz catch and throw of Scott's hard liner that came in the fifth inning with Yankees on first and second. Young slid to the ground s be caught the drive at his shoe- tops, but, rising quickly, he threw it lo second where a mere touch of Frisch’'s foot to the bag was enough ‘6 complete a double play, as Bob Meu- vel, thinking Scott's blow a clean hit, aad never stopped racing t \fler leaving second, T oo home Bancroft a Hero Bancroft, 100, was a hero in th tield. In the third he ran into cen? ‘or and with his back to the diamend yathered in a fly from Bush’s bat. Lat- M, after Witt's triple, he stopped a 2ard blow from Dugen and by a quick ‘eturn to the plate enabled the Giant satcher and third basem: Witt. an to trap In the ninth another fine flash b; he Giants' defense sank the last honz +f the Yanks. Pipp had started a come- sack rally with a single. Meusel slic- H a hard one toward right. fleld, SureRelief FOR INDIGESTION ;&:l)fibifiltunns> but Frisch, with a fast hop and leap, grabbed it and doubled Pipp at first. Schang was an easy infield out, and ‘the game was over. ' The Polo Grounds were packed. At noon most of the unreserved seats had been filled, and the 'start of the game was two hours off. In the last hour came: the reserved ticket holders, am- ong them many notables. Christy ‘Mathewson was one whose entrance thrilled the crowd. Cheers heralded his walk to his seat in the press stands as only a moment before they had sig- nalled the arrivel of General Pershing and baseball Commissioner Landls. ‘The day was fair and so warm that many in the bleachers sat in shirt sleeves. The Attendance Today's paid attendance—36514— was greater than that at .any one of the eight games which the Giants and Yankees fought out at the Polo Grounds 'last year for the world title. Last year 30,203 fans looked on at the first game, and the high mark was reached in the third game which 36,- 509 paid to see. The receipts today amounted to $119,036 of which the players will share in $60,708.36, each club $20,236.12, while the baseball com missioner's office will receive $1 856.40. Yanks Break the lce Yankees broke through for the first run of the game in the sixth inning after a triple by Witt had been wasted. Whitey opened the inning with a wallop to deep left but was trapped between'third and home on Dugan's poke to Bancroft. Snyder tag- ged him out after a brief dash. Du- gan went to second on the play and tallied on Ruth's hard crack to right. Young juggled the ball and the Babe continued to second, but was strand-| ed when Kelly scooped up Pipp's ground smash and beat him to the bag. The Socomg Tally The Giant defense cracked in. the seventh when the Yankees scored their second and final run. Bob Meusel op- ened with a single to left and dashed to third when Nehf threw the ball-in- to right center on Schang’s attempt- ed sacrifice, and Young followed with a fumble of the pitcher's wild heave. | Ward's sacrifice -hoist to Stengel brought in Meusel but Schang held second, Scott flied out and Bush forc- ed Schang to end the inning. The Giants vaunted punch, the fac- tor that carried the team through to victory in the final drive for the pen- nant, produced -the winning rally in the eighth and drove Bush, the Ameri- can Jeague's premier moundsman, from the box. The Smashing-Attack ‘The top end of the Giant batting order, which had been finding “Bullet Joe” persistently before, but without results, started the. cannonade that battered down the Yankees' apparent- ly winning lead. Bancroft, Groh and Frisch singled in rapid succession but smart fielding by Ruth and Bob Meu- sel held the runners to one base each dashed across to tle the score. Bush was waved from the box and Waite Hoyt, pitching hero of the series a year ago, faced Ross Young. The lit- tle right fielder redeemed his previous lapses in the field by driving to deep left-center, Witt taking the catch, while Frisch scored easily with what proved to be the winning run. Hoyt whiffed Kelly and Stengel in rapid succession to retire the side. Both Bush and Nehf were effective in the first five innings, although “Bul- let Joe” was hit a.trifle harder and called on to extricate himself from several tight places. Both were back- ed up by good fielding, but while the Yankees were consistent on the de- fense, the Giants wavered into the depths and 'then rose to the heights of utmost brilllance at critical mo- ments. Groh and Frisch Feature Groh and Frisch, whose bats were active most of the afternoon, found Bush for successive singles in the first inning, with one out, but neither Irish Meusel or Kelly eould drive them across. Again in the third, Groh, with two down, tripled to left center, but was left when Frisch skied to Ward. Bush allowed only one hit, a sin- gle by Kelly, in)the néxt three inn- ings, but the atfack broke out afresh in the seventh, only to be choked off by a double %illing, with the.bases full. With Young out, Kelly, Stengel and Snyder filled the bases on successive singles. ‘Farl Smith was sent in to bat: for Nehf but after fouling off a half dozen balls he hit to Scott and was doubled up with Snyder via Ward and Pipp. Nehf had the Yankee sluggers baf- fled, meanwhile, for five innings. On- ly three hits were collected off his southpaw shoots and each of the three blg Yankee gums, Ruth. Boh T~ -t and Pipp, were picked off on strikes. Meusel, who singled tnrougu .. .. .} the fifth and advanced on Schang's sacrifice, was the first Yankee to reach second.

In an effort to check the slugging of the Birds, Manager Kelly, of St. Paul called out five pitchers. Jack Bentley, Oriole southpaw,. pitched the entire game. The Saints piled up an early lead by hitting-him hard in the first three innings, but after the Birds tied the score in the fourth he settled down and-held the visitors safo There ,was bad blood between the teams and the game was marred by frequent arguments. Umpire~ Murray got in bad with the Baltimore crowd by several decisions on the bases and he was the target for two pop bottles hurled from the right field pavilion. Arguing over one of the decisions, Lawry, of ore, was ordered out of the game and then off the bench. Porter replaced him in left. The officfal attendance nounced at 8,358.

Stoddard, star number 1 who was on the team that swept through England last year, was unable to play because of injuries, and J. C. Cooley, of the Florida Flamingoes, reblaced him. P 3 The game was played before a mon- ster crowd. ‘There ‘were two bad spills, in the last period when the South Americans made a frenzied attempt to tie the score. In a collision with Captain Lew- is L. Lacey of Argentima, Captain Devereux Milburn of Meadowbrook lost a pony. In avoiding trampling on Milburn who was'thrown from his sad- dle, the horse stopped quickly and injured its left foreleg. The animal's “horse sense” saved the American and probably will bring quiet pastures in the future, as he could never play again.

McGRAW AND HUGGINS REMARK ON OUTCOME OF GAME] New York, Oct. 4—The fighting pow- er of the Giants carried them to vic- tory today over the Yankees in the opening game of the world series, in opinions expressed after the contest by the rival managers. “The man who has the best fighters wins the most ball games,” said John McGraw, manager of the Gilants, be- tween chuckles of delight over the vic- tory. “Joe Bush was working fine; al- though I don't believe he had much stuff on the ball, so I told the boys, after the Yanks had made two runs, to just try and meet the ball—just to stick out their bats. That's what they did in the eighth inning and that proved my belief that Bush was using nothirig but speed. “Tll admit that we had the breaks of the game, and that the Yanks might have five runs but for some lucky, sensational plays. “And say—I'm right proud of my team. Theyre never beaten until they're unconscious. Miller Huggins, the Yankee boss, had no excuse for Bush's cracking in the eighth inning. “The Yankees,” he said, “should have had more runs. Young’s great somersault catch of Scott's liner in the fifth, with two on the sacks, won the game for McGraw's men. If it hadn't been for that catch, we would have made at least two more runs. But it happened. “Last year we learned that the Gi- ants were a team of fighters and we appreciate their power on the offen- sive. Their defense, however, won for them today, in my opinion. “It looks like we'll have to get more than two runs a game to beat them. “I haven't any criticism for my play- ers; they worked zdmirably.” Hughey Jennings, the venerable Gi- ant coach, declared the Nationals won the game by half an inch. “In the eighth,” he said, “when our men filled the sacks, Irish Meusel con- nected. The ball sailed a half inch Half an inch lower and Bush would have made an easy double play.” Huggins said that Bob Shawkey or Carl Mays would do mound duty for the Yankees tomorrow, while McGraw declared he would start either Jess Barnes or “Deacon John" Scott.

FLYNN SAYS NORFOLK I8 LOGICAL MAN FOR SIKI Leon P. Flynn says that his protege, “Kid" Norfolk, is the logical man to meet Battling Siki for the light heavyweight t:lle. and goes on to prove his asser- tion. To begin with, Harry Gerb, who lays claim to the American title has no more right to that gitle than Pancho Villa. Battling Levinsky who o graciously gave up his title to Gene Tunney, a title which he had already lost two years pre- vious to that—had no business to fight for the American Championship—for on December 8 ,1920—two years previous to the Levinsky-Tunney fight, Battling Le- vinsky lost on a foul to Boyo: McCormick at Portland, Oregon, and McCormick was a legitimate 165 1b. boxer. Therefore, two years later, after losing his title at Portland, Oregon, Levinsky boxed Tun- ney for the title. As conclusive proof that we think Norfolk is a logical coe- tender, I will agree to box Gene Tunney, Harry Gérb, Tom Gibbons and Billy Mizke in the order named, to prove to the public who is the legitimate contend- er for Battling Siki's crown. Norfolk has never lost a decision in the Light Heavyweight division — has made a punching bag out of such fighters as Harry Gerb, whom he knocked down for a count of nine, winning the“decision in his home town Pittsburg; Billy Miske, Lee Anderson, John Lester Johnson, Ja- malica Kid, Clay Turner, and every Light Heavyweight in the world who could be induced to meet him. a2 BUSH PRODUCES ALIBI FOR HIS BEATING New TYork, Oct. 4—Joe Bush lost his effectiveness when he turned his pnkle trying to field Kelly’s roller to the box in the seventh, the pitch- er's Yankees team-mates declared to- night in discussing the opening &ame.
