of the Giants and the who did SO much 10

pennant last fall did his best to-day 10 make
amends by actually making present Of the game
to the visitors. He aided and abetted by Cofri-
don who was called on TO take his place in the
sixth inning, when less than three runs were
forced over the plate bases balls. The Giants
made only three scattered hits during the game
but hits not necessary, In view OF the feast
Of free passes so New York defeated Philadelphia
in the final game Of the series by score OF 10 /
II all happened in this wise: The Giants had
found impossible TO hit COvalesh for five innings
and the run scored by the home team in the fourth
inning began TO look big enough to account for
victory. Suddenly, however. Covalesbi lost control
and before the sixth inning was over the fans were
muttering curses under their breath, while the
Giants were laughing IN their sleeves.
Raymond, the first man up in the sixth inning,
flied out tda Osborne, but Tenney waited patiently
and walked TO first and Covaleski was generous
enough TO give free passes to Doyle and McCoT-
mick. With the bases full Murray stepped 70 the
plate, but the big Pole in trying TO cut the cor
ners sent him frisking down 10 first four bad
ones. forcing Tenney home. After giving O'Hiara
one ball. Covaleski called to the bench. while
Corridor took his place on the mound, with the
bases full and only out II made difference
however. as the new pitcher could locate the
plate, and when OHara and Devlin walked, doffing
their caps in glee, two more runs were forced over
the plate. BridweH was out on a grounder TO
Knabe and BransheId took care OF Schlers drive
down the first base line. which ended the agony
for Philadelphia and the picnic for the Giants
Those three runs. however were all that were
needed, the home team was unable to add any
more runs 10 its in the remaining innings.
The Giants had royal chance 10 make assurance
doubly in the ninth inning. with Doyle at the
bat and the bases full but Doyle struck out a
fast double play put end TO the hopes OF the
Phillies in their half the closing innings Brid-
well making pretty stop Of Corridon's hard hit
ball, touching second and throwing 10 Tenney zt
first to complete It.
