FIRST RUN CAME IN FIRST
INNING BY MILLER’S SINGLE
Mays Had Decidedly Best of
Pitching Duel, But Douglas
Twirled Well, Fanning Ruth
Out Which Brought Tremend
ous Applause From the Many
Giant Rooters.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. s.—Carl Mays, with
one of his masterful exhibitions of
box work, pitched the Yankees to a
well earned victory over the Giants
in the first game of the world series
today. Mays’ submarine delivery en
abled the Yankees to shut out the
Giants three to nothing, but not with
out some fine fielding plays behind
him, pretty work with the stick and
clever base running, especially by
McNally, who stole home with the sec
ond run of the game.
The first run came in the first In
ning when Miller, first man to face
Douglas, the Giapts’ pitcher, singled.
He was sacrificed to second by Pack-
Another was added by the Yankees
in the ’seeond, when McNally doubled,
was sacrificed to third and then he
stole home. Peck’s infield hit and
Meusel’s triple scored the last run in
the sixth, although Meusel was later
called out for not touching first base.
Although Mays had decidedly the
best of the pitching duel, Douglas
pitched well, fanning Ruth twice amid
roars of approval from Giant rooters.
The first time Ruth was up he singled,
sending in the first run, the second
time he was walked, but not purposely
and on his other two appearances he
was fanned.
The Giants seriously threatened to
score only once during thd game, in
the fourth inning, when Frlwh started
cff the Inning with a single to fight.
He then stole second and went to
third on a sacrifice. Kelly, the Giants’
heavy hitter, fanned, and the hopes of
the National league pennant winners
for a score went up as Meusel was
thrown out, short to first.
The outstanding feature of the game
was besides, Mays* pitching and the
theft ©f home by McNally, was the
batting of Frish, the Giants' fast third
baseman, who made a perfect record
for the afternoon, with four hits to
his credit. Only one other player on
the New York Nationals hit May*
safely, that being Rawlings, who se
cured a single.
There is much speculation tonight:
as to who will he the opposing pitch
ers In tomorrow's game. For the Yau
kees it is generally believed that eith
er Sbawkey or Harper, while McGraw
will more than likely send in Nelf dr
Toney.
The score by innings of today’s
game follows:
