let them down with scant pair Of

Meanwhile the Athletics got to Tes.

for eight runs, the result of 12 safe
stabs. The Athletics took the jump in
the first and second innings, in each
Of which they punched hits on Tesreau.
Three hits in each inning netted them
three runs in the first and a pair in the
second. Again in the seventh they got
to Tsreau for a triple and two singles,
which netted them another pair of runs
and sent the Ozark Giant to the bench.
Schang's Home Run.
Crandall, who succeeded him, started
off nicely, but Schang caught one
squarely on the end Of his bat, and
warped it into the right field stands in
Baker-fashion for the second home run
Of the series. It was the Athletics
game all the way. There was none of
the dash and briliancy Of Yesterdays
contest, and the Giants seemed decided.
ly lacking in pep after their opponents
had piled up their early lead With
the game slowed away, the Athletics
went along under wraps, but there was
never moment when young Bush was
in serious danger.
The Giants two runs we're negotiat.
ed in the fifth and seventh stanzas. The
first one came when Murray drew a
pass, stole second and took third on
Schang's bad throw to Collins. Red
came home when Mclean came through
with single.
The threatened rally was nipped in
the bud however, when Merkle, Tes.
reau and Herzog were slowed away in
order.
Looked Promising in Ninth.
Shafer threatened to start something
in the seventh when he opened the
frame with double, the Giants see

ry singled and Tilly came home with
the Giants second and last run.
Schang, whose throwing to second
base has been lamentably weak, caught
Murray on an attempted steal, and
Bush braced quickly.
Of the pitchers so far trotted out by ,,
Mack, Bush was easily the greatest
puzzIeer for the Giant .wielders,
whose efforts were lamentably feeble
throughout the game. Not single
Giant was able to secure more than a
lone hit. In contrast Collins fattened
his batting average with two singles
and u triple in three times up.
Two Spectacular Plays.
But two really spectacular plays
marked the contest. One Of these was
a double play worked by Bush to Barry
