harpv condition so far the local fans were con-
,arned did not rnaterialize until the eighth inning
and I'D TO that time much was heard about me
frigid weather and hard luck After that however,
everybody seemed 70 warm up. and even the cola
blasts were forgotten in the Joy oe victory after
three dismal defeats
For six innings II looked as If the Giants were
doomed once more, as the score was to ? against
them and there appeared TO be total inaol1ty 10
get hits of ChappeIle when hits were needed New
York tied the score IN the seventh inning. ana
missed a rare chance then and there 10 win the
Ran,a for the lacl, of hit With the bases full,
only one out and such good batters UP as Doyle
and Murray hope high. but Doyle fouled out TO
Sweeney at third while Murray could not get the
ban out Of the infeld and was thrown out at first
by Starr.
That disappointment was quickly forgotten, how
ever in the next inning. After Boston had been
disposed OF the Giants got together and batted out

one 10 Starr and died at first, but OEara waited
ratiently while Chappelle him 20 first on balls

tuo-bagger 10 right. Here was chance for pinch
hitter ana in spite Of the fact that Fletcher had
singled in the previous ilning Big Chief Myers was
called on to take his place He got hit too-not
a LONG, screaming drive. but little scratch affair
down toward third base. It did the work, however,
as OIIara scored and Devlin went down TO third
Sehei followed with his second hit Of the game,
clean single 10 right and Devlin scored Myers
was caught at third on the play. and Raymond flied
out but il rattered not the game was won
Bugs Raymond pitched steady, consistent
game for the Giants, and deserved 70 win. Boston
got eight hits off his delivery. but Raymond kept
them fairly well scattered and, better yet pitched
himself out of tight hole in the fifth inning, when,
with the bases full and only one down, he struck
out Beck and held Starr infieId tap which was
easy for Doyle
Chappelle also pitched a good game, and. with
better support might have been credited with
victory Boston made five errors three of which
proved more or less costly. and two CT which were
directly responsible for runs In the second inning
Beck's wild throw of O'Hara's bounder 10 force
Terny at second allowed the captain of the Giants
10 reach third from where he scored Devlin's
rfdoe. Again IN the fourth inning, with out,
Tenney was safe at first Beck muff of Sweeneys
throw, and after O'Hara had been retired, which
would have been the third out, Tenney scored
Devn's single TO right
Boston scored two in the first inning, after
Beaumont had been called safe at first close
decision what would have been the third out,
on a single by Beck a base on balls and timely
two-bagger by DahIen. Boston got its third run in
the third inning q base balls and hit by
Starr.
Deylin and Schlei got two hits apiece, and all four
counted materially in the getting. OHara failed
IN pinch in the sixth inning. when, with Murray
on third, thanks 10 an error and wild throw, and
Tenney on first on base on balls because Chappelle
was afraid Of him. he fouled TO Beck.
The Giants viii play their last home game for a
time with Boston to-day, and there is still chance
10 break the series.
