yesterday afternoon The Frenchman had
all the polish and SAVIOR faire 70 he ex-

fectly devoted to the visitors. He watched
them every minute. told them just what
they could do prevented them from getting
all tired running the bases, and positively
refused 10 Jet them score during the seven
innings that he received. In the mean
time his teammates Cashed in eleven runs,
so that the Phillies were welcome to the
four which they got off the delivery of
Louis Drucke in tho last two frames. The
Giants won by a score Of II to :, and
captured their eighth consecutive victory.

Piece de resistance was q home run into the
night field stands, with two on bases, in the
fourth frame This was a body blow. which
took all the steam out of the Phillcs. az
there were TWO men out and the Giants had
Tailed only three runs UP to that time. But
Larry had a double 10 his credit in the first
fame and two singles besides. so he hit for
total Of eight bases during the game.
And perhaps Josh Devore was not the
timely little walloper. Josh has not been
playing up 10 form so far this season.
While he has had no cause to worry as yet,
the presence Of Burns and Becker on the
bench has no doubt given him food for
thought. he came into his own yesterday,
ard he proved that his bat contains the
pinch hits that went so far toward pushing
The team to the front last year. After
Mcrke and Herzog had walked in the third
inning and Shafer had sacrificed, Seaton,
with trembling knees, passed Meyers, pur-
struck out. leaving everything up TO De-
wore. The fleet-footed one was equal to the
emergency and placed single over third

extra base hit in the sixth inning with
one-handed catch of brilliant proportions.

along the cause.
The Philes were far from crippled al
!. though not so strong as they will be later.
\ Lobert was the only player missing from
tho infield and Downey Dooin's utility man,
covered third. Magee was the only absentee
in the outfield and Cravath filled his shoes.
Graham behind the bat was far from being
Charlie Doom, however ''Toots" Schultz,
the slayer relieved sutton In the seventh
frame and allowed only one hit
After scoring eleven runs in the first five

behind the bat and after the seventh frame
Drucke took Marquard's place.
The Texas wonder started off unsteadily,

Marqua-d was in wonderful form and the
Phillies never had a chance against him

innings, struck out nine batsmen and did
not give a pass. Doolan and Graham so

Marquard out Of the box. II was a brave
start. but the RUDE threw in the high-speed
clutch, famed Seaton, let Knabe lift sky

Titus.
The Philadelphia right fielder made the
star catch OF the game when he robbed
shafer of three. base hit in the ninth
inning. While the shifty shortstop had

his legal times at bat down to one, he need

day 800 Titus, however. made a circus
catch OF his far flying drive. Neither
Meyers nor Shafer made q hit, but both
were at the bat only twice.
The Giants ran the bases with daring,
stretching their hits on the slightest provo
