Previous to this pop-eyed climax
Nehf had walked two men, forcing
one run over the plate and “Rosy"
Ryan had walked another, cramming
in another run and leaving the bases
still loaded. Hot dog! What a ball
game!
The Giants had the game in the bag
4 to 1 and Nehf was going like a
champ. Everybody was speculating
about the outcome of the seventh
game on Tuesday when Ward came
up in the Yank half of the eighth and
poppfed to Kelly. That was normal.
That was the wav the Yank batters
were behaving. Nehf had them eat
oing out of his hand.
Then came Scliang with a single to
right that aroused little excitement.
There was one down, Nehf was going
great, and the Giants were leading
by three runs. One single meant
little to the spectators under those
circumstances. Scott followed with
another single to right and Schang
took third.

Stands Wake Up.
The stands began to hum. Still no
one took the situation seriously but
at last it wa3 a little excitement in
a game that had been cut and dried
to that moment. Hoffmann was sent
in to bat for Pennock. Right there
Arthur Nehf cracked wide open and
the Giants cracked with him. He
pitched Hoffmann four straight balls
loading the bases with only one
down. The Yanks on the bench were
dancing and howling. The crowd in
the stands rose and began to dance
and howl with them.
