and captain by the harsh dictates Of the
authorities the Giants still had enough in
reserve to wallop the Phillies again this
afternoon, making a clean sweep of the
series.
1t took eleven hard fought innings to
do it, but when the show down came the
champions were there with the punch
and the pitchers. The score was to 2.
First class title to the leadership was
established when the margin of suprem-
acy was extended TO three and one-half
games. The Giants have not only won
their eight games in a row. but have
captured the last eight games from their
chief rivals Having won ten out of four
teen played with the Philles. only two
of the remaining eight need to be taken to
give the Giants the edge on the series for
the season.
The mandate of Tom Lynch suspending
McGraw for five days was not raised
even at the vigorous protest of Harry
Hampstead, the owner of the club. so the
new league leaders went into the fray
minus the guiding hand of the master.
Larry Doyle was in charge. but he got
into difficulties with Rigler and lasted
only three innings. When the umpire
fell fiat on his back trying to dodge
Burnss throw to the plate in the first
inning ii was a foregone conclusion that
he would take revenge on some one for
an undue display of merriment In the
third frame he detected Doyle putting

Merkle's single 1t was enough to win
the game without a pass to Murray and
an error by Dolan, playing first which let
Merkle score.
This comforting twist succeeded some
delicious defensive work in the tenth,
which Paskert opened with double.
Knabe hunted a pop fly to Herzog, but
which put Paskert on third. Becker lined
the ball at Shafer hard enough to take
the second baseman off his feet. The
sphere bounced away from Arthur. but

first just as Paskert crossed the plate

Alexander was the hope of Doom in the
final contest of the. series and went TO
the mound expecting to save something
from the wreck. He pitched good ball
keeping ten hits well scattered but Dem
aree and Fromme formed a combination
that was difficult TO beat.
Demaree retired i'm the seventh to let
Mccormick bat for him and bring Murray
home with the run which tied the score.
Five hits off the cartoonist, two of which
were punched in the fourth, gave the
Philies their two runs. Fromme pitched
the last five innings and did some bril-
liant work. He was found for only three
hits, but each one of these was made at
the beginning of an inning when just one
run was needed for the Phillies to win.
Sparkling support saved the day.
The Giants were the first to score.
