Davis, and Bresnahan drove q liner to
third The ball was driven with lightning
speed about ten feet to the left Of Cross
who barely had time to fall over and catch
the sphere with one hand. 1t was sensa-

showed their real metal In this inning five
Of the Giants crossed the plate, and the
game was safely bundled up and tucked
away in the Manhattan bat bag. Mathewson

the Monte Cross-Davis route Bresnahan
however, did better and walked, after con-
temptuously passing four evil ones. Browne

acted more like trance medium than a
ball player. Dahlin was too rapid and
