throne. the mighty Marquard weakened be-
fore the onslaught Of the lowly Boston
Terriers and was defeated for the fifth time
this season in a ten-inning game at the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon. The
score was to I. and the visitors failed to
get the decision until the New York nine
had made a thrilling effort to save the
game. The Giants won the morning game
by e score OF 6 to l.
'Heigho, It's a funny world" murmured
Merquard as he gazed at the moon rising
over the diamond at the end OF the fray.

the echo as he moved the visitors down In
the first seven innings Of the afternoon
game allowing only three hits and str1k-
ing out twelve men. And then something
