same instant. but Connolly said safe
Then came the break" so much talked OF

second and none out, Barry dumped the
ball along the first base line. Ames neld-

and before Devore could retrieve the ball
far across the diamond, three runners had
trooped across the plate. So a puny bunt
was converted into a home run. SO an
all-important game was lost
FIFTH INNING.-Josh Devore, VINO
drove in the winning run yesterday, failed
his team in pinch to-day by striking OUT
with two Giants on the bases. Herzog ana
Fletcher passed away quickly, the former
on strikes and the latter on an easy bound

TO centre field and OTIS Crandall batting
for Ames. walked to first, the Indian con-
sidering discretion the better part OF put

farmer. Then Devore struck out with the
call three and two. and Doyle just achins
to get chance. II was last gasp

box, and he retired the Athletics in quick

Baker and Oldring cut off the Giants IN the
sixth frame. Baker ran far back to lert

first. but was forced at second for the third

That over Thomas struck out for the sec

SEVENTH INNING-There was nothing
lucky for the Giants In the seventh. al
though an error by Barry gave Herzog
momentary life at FIRST. Davis not TO be
outdone in the fielding line. made a pretty
catch OF Fletcher's foul back OF first base,
while Meyers and Wltse tried in vain to
solve Bender's sharp-breaking curves.

on strikes.
EIGHTH INNING-What happened after
this was a sorrowful playing ont Of the
string Devore passed out OF the worlds
series by the way Of Barry to Davis, and
Doyle by the way OF Davis to Bender.
Barry juggled a weak grounder from Snod-
grass and threw high TO first, but Collins
ended the agony with a dazzling stop of
Murray's sizzling drive
