Pandemonium Breaks Loose in
the Garden When Herzog
Goes to the Rescue
with Two.bagger.

Close TO six thousand fans" nearly lost
their reason in Madison Square Garden
yesterday when Charley Herzog ham
mered out a two-basger in the eighth
inning which sent two runners racing
over the plate and for the moment put
the Giants in the lead over the Red Sox
by a score of to 4. The diamond was
lacking, the striving, struggling players
could not be seen. but so truly was every
move of the opposing teams depicted on
the Photograph that stretching OF the i'm
agination was hardly necessary to make
one think that the game was spread out
before him.
The crowd for the most part was made
UP Of rabid New York fans" but there
were enough Boston sympathizers on hand
to add spice and make the scene even
more realistic. The ardent rooters bought
programmes and kept their own scores:
they roared their approval when h.g
were made or runs were scored; they

all sides when the third baseman OF the
Giants went to the plate in the eighth
inning with a score OF to 3 against New
York. runners on second and third base 1
and two out. There was no time for
words when Herzog, as II responding to
the call, made his third hit Of the game, |
clean two-bagser, and put the Giants
one run In front.
Pandemonium broke loose A roar went
up that fairly shook the rafters. Men
jumped on their chairs. Hats and news

fore the crowd could settle back and wait
