the game did the home team threaten

Shafer's double followed by Muir
rav's single to left at the opening Of
the seventh inning might have caused
q less evenly poised temperament TO
allow several runs, but on hit and
run play Wilson struck out, while Muir
ray was doubled at second, and even
though Merkle drew a pass Tesreau
lifted to Mc1nnis. That was about all
the Giants had to offer in the way OF
an offence.
Bushs steady support and the iron
wall infield behind him stood him in
good stead. Three double plays ex-
tricated him from minor difficulties
George Burns hitting into two OF
these. The one in the first frame was
most important, as it was essential 10
get the youngster off to a fine start.
When with one out, Doyle scratched
a hit through the box and FIetcher
was hit, II looked as though BUSH
might have to yield. But Burns tapped
to Collins for an easy double play AND
the frame was over.
Once under way and with a comfort
able lead at his back Bush had clear
sailing. That Connie Mack was bit
timorous about the showing of the
youngster was plain. Before the game
started he sent Shawkey out to warm
I'D. and for while the latter was con-
stantly exercising his arm TO be ready
for the call.
When 1t was seen that the New York
attack was crumbling before the mas
terly pitching of the newcomer, Shaw
key eased up. In the eighth frame
Chief Bender went out and prepared for
relief duty it being apparent that the
New York team could win only by
most herculean batting rally, which
the Indian could be depended upon TO
quell on short notice.
Tesreau a Disappointment
The showing Of Jeff Tesreau was
keen disappointment to the majority
who had picked him TO be effective
against the Athletics. He got into
trouble in the first inning with some
bad breaks, but was just about TO pull
out of a hole when Fletcher tossed the
ball over Merkles head, letting two
runs count.
The big New York twirler was show
ing unusually good control, for him, and
managed TO get the batter in a hole
every time. but every time he tried to

lusty swings at the splitter in the first
inning before adding his single 10 those

the first run.
McInnis actually famed for the third
out, but Strunk's sharp drive TO Fletcher
spoiled II all. Tesreau had no trouble In
retiring the first two men who faced MIN
in the second, but bang, bang. bang. Muir
ply, Oldrng and Collins reeled of ATS
and added two more runs TO the count.
After Larry Doyle had made dazzling
stop, robbing Baker Of a hit, JEFF struck
his stride, and for four innings handled
the foe without dif1culty, only two men
reaching first IN that time. But another
cyclone struck in the seventh, and when
a triple by Collins got all tangled up with
two singles by Murphy and Baker. net

removed the big spitball artist. Otis Gran

ball to retire the side. McInnis popping

remainder of the game. allowing only one

The Athletics found Tesreau for clever
hits during his reign of less than sever
innings. Six of these were carefully
