and a handsome TO o victory was en-
tered in the New York ledger. This
helped the cause Of the Giants only in a
negative way. They didn't lose any
ground in the race, but neither did they
gain, for the Phillies again walloped Bos-

Tesreau usually comes up abreast Of that
elusive thing called Form. which in his
case is never quite reached until The chill

siderable time for one of his massive bulk

momentum carries al before H.
After taking careful reading Of the
chronometer JEFF decided he was about
due. and sticking d diminutive American
flag i'm his cap, went out in search of
laurels to wreath his massive brow. The
first thing he saw was Brooklyn, and he
promptly swept it into mis- cap1c!ous nav.
For the FIRST six innings the Superbds
weren't sure whether they had forgotten
how to bat or not. In the second frame
Zach Wheat beat out a hit which took
a high bound past Larry DOYLE but that

dozen Stanzds.
Thereafter the batting by the visitors
was more TO the point. the seventh and

Zach Wheat who has been much in
the lmelight during the present series,
confined most of his attention to de-
fensive play. He provided the big field
ing sensation OF the afternoon when he

earmarks of the most approved thriller.

Yingling entered the fray in the third
