The Yankees gave towering Cliff Melton the same treatment. they handed the renowned Carl Hubbell yester- diiy. The only difference was that they got their attack under way quicker and spread it out over three innings, instead of one.

'I‘hey.drove the rookie Giant southpaw from the box in the fifth inning, routed Harry Gumbert in the sixth, and roasted home comfortably behind the effective pitching of their burly right-hander, Charley (Red) Rulfing.

Sidelights On Nickel WorIdSerieS

(By Bill Bonl, Associated Pres! Sports Writer)

NEW YORK. Oct. ‘l-The sec- ond game of the nickel (that's- what the Giants‘ chances are worth) world series ended today in a triple blaze. It was a blaze of fresh glory for the Yanks, fresh disappointment for the Giants and pure flame in the left field bleach- ers, which caught fire just as the last customer had departed.

Like the Giant's championship hopes, the fire was put out in a hurry. The fire-fighters used hoses, the Yankees used bats. They're both effective.

The Giants infield did some snappy fielding this afternoon. But you can't field base hits.

Cliff Melton, Bill Terry's last hope, was like a man who pulls the pin out. of a. hand grenade and then forgets to throw it. A11 of a sudden it explodes in his face. .

1- ..i n" I

Joe DiMaggio imssed so many. homers by a few feet there was a. suspicion he was merely practicing

for the invasion of the Polo Grounds, where the fences are shorter.

Maybe the Yankees were mad. Every time they tried to bunt they failed. Then they returned to their customary practice and smacked ‘em where they weren’t.

Sixteen runs and only one hom- er. 'I'hat must be a shock to the Tigers. White Sox, Indians and other American League clubs that were brow-beaten by the Yanks this season.

Red Buffing not only pitched a seven-hitter and fanned eight, but also weighed in with two hits and drove home three runs. Besides knocking both Melton and Harry Gumbel-t out. of the box, he knock- ed Bill Terry's strategy hay-wire- Red smacked a six-inning two- bagger after Gumbert had obeyed orders and given Tony Lazzeri an intentional pass.

Yankee Owner Wants Series Four Straight

(By Paul Miekelsnn. Associated Press Sports Writer]

NEW YORK, Oct. 7-Bi11 Tony's demoraiized Giants tried to get off the floor of their dressing room today, but. as the echoes of a noisy Yankee celebration in the adjoining lockerroom dinned in their weary ears they lapsed into a coma of despair.

"What else can you expect?" demanded Manager Bill Terry as reporters barged in for the usual statement. "We played two games with those fellows and got the hell kicked out of us both times. To- morrow we're going to l/Ty Hal Scliumacher, but I guess what we need most of all is a good rain- storm round about the fifth inn-

ing.”

From Terry to coach Pancho Snyder, who stuck his head in his locker for fully 10 minutes without uttering a word, the Giants’ spir- its ieemed crushed.

"You can't take it away from them." said Gus Mancuso. “They've got. the power and the pitching. Why, that Rnffing was as fast out. there as any pitcher I ever saw."

“It look.»- like we'll have a pleas- ant and leisurely Sunday dinner," said Colone Ruppert, the Yankee owner. "Get it over in four straigi t if you can boys, as I'm in- vited out for dinner Sunday."

Manager McCarthy barged right past everyone to shake‘ Ruffings paw.

"Nice hitting. Charlie," wise- cracked Marse Joe. "You had it.” complimented

catcher Bill Dickey.

"And we pinned Mickey Mouse‘s iCliff Meltonsi ears back,“ yelp- ed Lefty Gomez.

Almost completely tiickered out. Ruffing stretched his right hand out lazily for a score of hand- shakes.

“I don't know which gave me my great thrill. pitching or hit- ting," he said finally. “You know I'm proud of both.”

Although the Yankees, headed by Coach “Gladstone? Fletcher rode Melton plenty while he lasted, they had nothing but. respect for 111s pitching.
