though the Giants did their best to walt

innings.
With two out in the second, Meyers
got a life on Gardeners error and took
second on FIetchers single. The Chlef
was trapped off second, but made dash
for third and was safe when Gardner
dropped Wagner's throw. Fletcher took
second on the play, and hit by Matty
meant two runs, but Big Six loated TO

In the third Devore walked and ad-
vanced to second on an out, scoring New
Yorks first run on Murrays double. The
fifth was a touchy period, as DevoTe
bounced a single Of Bedients shins, only
20 die stealing, while Hooper robbed
DOYLE of a home run, making a catch
even more spectacular than the one by
Devore in the game last Thursday. Snod-
grass's single was wasted, as Murray
fouled out.
Thereafter Bedlent steadled down, and
although Meyers drew pass in the sixth
and Matty singled in the seventh. nothing
came Of these chances. Wood pitched the
last three innings after Henrlcksen had
batted for Bedient. Joe showed that he
was not right, and had probably pitched
himself out. The Giants sampled his stun
in the eighth and ninth, and landed on
him in the tenth.
Murray's double into the stands, followed
by Merkle's single, gave New York run.
