Hugmen Launch Vicious Attack on "Red" McQuillan, Driving Him to Showers in Fourth. Polo Gronds, New fork, Oct lL Led by the non-stoppable Babe Ruth, who crashed out two home runs, the Yankees charged over the Giants and won the second game of the world's series here this afternoon by the score of 4 to 2. hi Ruth's two homers in the right field stand and one by Erin Ward into the left field stand gave the Yanks enough runs to beat the Giants and get back on even terms, with them in the race lor the world's championship. Forty thousand far.fi saw the transformed Yankee team outfight and outplay the Giants, while the National League champions were being held completely in the con trol of Herb Pennock, former Kea Sox southpaw. Showing no signs of their disastrous defeat of yesterday, the Yanks worked on Hugh McQuillan, McGraw's pitching choice, piling up three runs before the former Brave' right bander was beaten to the showers in the fourth inning.

Bentley, who succeeded McQuillan, was effective, holding the Yanks to one more run and four hits. The Score R. H. E. Yanks 0 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 04 9 0 Giants 01000100 02 0 2 Batteries: Yanks, Pennock and Schang: Giants, McQuillan, Bent- ley and Snyder.
