score Of 3 to /. An injury to George Nl'se
in the second inning, when huh'ilei
bounced a liner off the southpaw's pitch-
Ing arm. gave Raymond the chance ne was
looking for TO prove TO NcGraw ana the'
fans" that he was ready to take his regu-
lar turn In the box. Wiltse's injury was
not serious.
RAYMOND made the best Of his oppor-
tunity, and there was much waliihs anu
ynashing Of teeth IN the Brooklyn camp
thereat. The Superbss. who have been h'-
ting ike wilGGre since the season opeheu'
suddenly LOST their batting eyes. The Dan
came over the plate in Jumps and klhhs
which had the batters up in the air. Ff'ic-
tcallv all they could do was to pop up IN
hall to such an altitude that IL was easy
picking for the neldcrs. Bugs USED '"e
moisture with such lavishness that BIG
Chief Meyers was on tenternooks all the
time. He held on 10 the splitter well. how
ever. and Brooklyn did not profit by passed
balls as they fell before the freak delivery.
Hummel cracked a lucky nit oecr third
two bags. but that marked an oasis of
batting in the desert OF outs for tie first
eight innings. Ii was the only hit that
RAYMOND allowed IN that time. and While
bc gave four passes none OF the runners
who cheated the helders with deauheaa
rlde 10 first worked their way &c the plate.

but brilliant fielding by Snodgrass ana
pevoro registered two outs on the long flies.
Wheat and Cous0n then broke into the
hit column witt singles apiece and While
one run was scored Zimmerman raped an
easy grounder to Bridwell, forcing Coulson
al second Four hits were the best Brook
lyn could do with Raymond's delivery
While the Giants did not pound Bell all
over the lot. by any means. and three Of the
seven hits which they collected were Of the
scratchiest variety, nevertheless, the few
hits they did make We're opportune and
counted for runs. The Giants gave Ray
7mond sterling support both Doyle and
Bridwell doing some luminous and scin-
sillatlng work. Snodgrass, too, never fall
tered in his fielding. and gathered in five
nies for the harvest of put-outs.
The Superbas did not show all the vim

playjng on Saturday. Inability 10 hit nat
