The third inning was an enjoyable
one for the Giants. though beginning
inauspiciously when Tesreau struck
out Devore fatty refused to bite at
balls which weren't directly over and
by good waiting took first on four balls.
On hit and run strategem he was well
toward second when Doyle clapped his
bat into a towering fly TO short left

was He was enlightened when It
struck the turf az his feet. Devore,
burning his bridges behind him, never

Yerkes and brought in Devore and
Doyle. Speaker stopped the ball with
one of those one hand reaches which he
has done so fine and his THROWN lured
Murray to try for second. Murray had
eased up momentarily when turning
first and the time lost made him too
late to beat Cady's relay to Wagner.
Pretty catches by Herzog and Merlle
and the striking out Of Stahl were the
ingredients in a quick half Inning for
the Ped Sox in the fourth. HerZog went

He dipped a sulphuric stinger down the
third base line. Gardner swooped for
the ball like hungry gull, but couldn't
do more than defect It into foul ground.
Doyle hit the highway for second, but

Stahl swung at the first ball pitched
in the calamitous seventh and was
thrown out by Doyle. This was nice
and anything but prcmonition Of the
fanfare of hits to come. Wagner
singled to centre. Cady did the same
thing. Wood too, felt in base hit mood
