Thursday
l; W YORK.—
Walter Johnson,
the 'o'ld master''
buckled on hi*
armor Wednes
day In a final
fight for the glory
of world's
series victory that
he has sought
for 1* years, hut
fate, It seemed,
nnd the mighty
hats of 111* foe,
turned him hack.
Unleashing a furious. ruthless nt
tael:. the New York Niants butter
ed the great veteran Into defeat for
the second straight time, captured
the fifth game of the series from
the Senator* by a score of 6 to 2
ami left Wednesday night for
Washington with the 1924 world'*
championship within their reach.
The Giants, coming hack Wed
nesday with the powerful type (If
attack that carried the Senator* to
triumph Tuesday. now hold a for-
of three to two game*.
They need only one more victory to
clinch the aerie* and give their lea
der. John McOraw. hi* fourth base

record./
GIANTS FAVORED
TO WIN SERIES
The force* of McOraw, who
■hurra the present record of three
world'* *er!ew victorle* with Connie
Mark and lit* Athletic*, were heavy
favorite* Wednesday night, to carry
off the major honor* In one of the
game'* most spectacular battle*, for
Wednesday they spiked Washing
ton's big gun. nnd left the Sena
tor* with shuttered resource* for
the rest of the fight.
If Art Nehf, McOraw'a brilliant
southpaw, who wa« prevented from
Starting Wednesday* game ho
es use of u thumb bruise suffered In
his victory over Johnson on the
opening day, Is uhle to lake the
mound Thursday, the tllant* will
have an excellent prospect of end
ing the series. If not, or If Nehf
fulls, the decision will go to the
seventh game which also will bo
pluyed in W iiahlngton.
A GALLANT BUT
TRAGIC FIGURE
Through the smoke of Wednes
day's conflict Johnson stood out ns
n gallant hut tragic figure, one of
the most traglo baseball has ever
crow n. Another outpouring of 60,-
[Rto fans, braving the chilliest day
rtf the series, came confidently In
llio hope of seeing Johnson hang
up his first world* serle* victory.
Their s> mpathiee. which hnve been
with the Senators throughout the
Liocrrr & Vfrrm Tobacto Co.
New York games of the series, par- |
tieularly were evident for Johnson. ,
They cheered him to the echo In the |
early part of the game but a* It !
wore on. nnd Johnson's 4 defeat I
seemd inevitable they became
quieter, realizing that "Hlg Hnr
nev," one of the game's greatest
Idols, was taking the bitterest net
back of his career.
Johnson took the punishment ad
ministered by the Giants' leafs,
grimly, but It wa* n sad spectacle
to those who recalled his greatness
over nearly a. score of years n.rtd
his valiant struggle to reach the
door that refused to open to him
when he knocked. Yet probably no
one realized the tragedy of it till
more kenly than Johnson himself
when, after "Goose” Goslln's third
home run of the series, had revived
Washington hope* In the eighth In
ning. the Giants shelled the veteran
for three more runs nnd remove*
the last uncerlnlnly over the out
come.
LETS VETERAN
STAY IN BOX
Under litis terrific bombard
ment, It seemed foolhardy for
Manager "Ilucky” llarrl* to keep
Johnson In the game, the outcome
of which meant so much to the
Senators' championship hopes, hut
the young Washington pilot appar
ently was willing to accept defeat
rntlnr lhatt cap the climax of lit*'
veteran's last stand by taking him
from the box.
In Johnson's declaration after
the game that he may retire from
the game next season for nil time
may lie the real reason for keep
ing him to the last, if It was to
he the veteran's final battle, ho
wanted to he on the firing line to
the last, even In the face of crush
ing defeat.
Johnson's famous fast bull, which
had forced the Giants to twelve hit -
terly contested Innings, before they
won the opening game held no ter
rors Wednesday. The National
I,eaghe champions pounded ’'Har
ney” for 13 safe blows nnd hunched
three of them In ench of the third,
fifth nnd eighth Innings, when they
did nil their scoring.
GOSLIN GARNERS
ANOTHER HOMER
Jack Bentley, southpaw star op
posed Johnson nnd held the Sena
tors to one run until the eighth In
ning when ho left under an out
break that was started by Goslln's
homer, n blow that gave the slug
ging "Goose” a tie with Bahe Hath
for the greatest number of circuit
clouts made In single aerie*.

they held to the finish. He caught
one of Johnson's curves in the fifth
Inning for a home run into the
rlghtfield stands. scoring Hank
Gowdy ahead of him. This proved
the deciding punch of the game,
although the Giants came hack in
the eighth with a throe-run rally
that clinched their victory.
Bentley's was the crucial blow,
hut the most dynamic figure In Hie
Giant attack was Freddy Lind
strom, 18-yoar-ohl Chicago school
hoy who was In the cradle when
Johnson first broke into the hlg
leagues In 1906. Lindstrom, who
took the J,lace of the veteran Grob
at third huso when the latter was
Injured, smashed out four hits in
live times at hat. He drove In two
runs, sparkled in the field and es
tablished himself one of the great
