come, The game effort OF the Na-
ttonal league players to oyortake their
rivals in the closing innings Of the
game changed the entire complexion
of the battle, lifting what appeared 90
be a one sided match into a contest
that hung in the balance until the
last nut out
Demarce received warm welcome
,t tbc start. but it was not until the
second inning that the first Athletic
crossed the plate. McInnis opened
vith Texas Lacquer that Snodgrass
could not quite reach. Strunk sacrl-
feed and Rarry's double scored Nc
tnnis The big blow came i'm the
fourth. With one out Strunk knocked
UcrZog over with smashing single
and Rarry nut him on third with an
other. taking second on Shafer's
throw to third. Schang followed
LVtth vicious liner past Doyle, scor-
ing Strunk and Barry. He went TO
second on the throw to the plate and
to third a moment later on Mclean
possed ball. Schang scored when
Mertle fumbled TENDERS grounder.
When the Athletics next came 10
hat tbov faced Marquard and after
two onts had been recorded Srunk
Y.olkcd on four successive wide ones
Earry's second double 10 left put
s'runk ON third and Schang promptly
singled TO center scoring both Srunk
and Rarrv. Bender went out, Mar
ougrd 20 Merkle. and the Athletics
run gathering for the day was ended.
The desperate. but as 1t proved,
futile. rally came like bolt from
cloar sky. Chief" Bender, the Chip
pcya Indian. master Of mysterious
curves and breaks, had held the
Giants runless for six innings while
his team mates, by pile-drivlng hits,
had scored as many runs at the 'N-
nense of Dcmaree and Marquard. Al
ready the fans that filled every seat
I'm the stands and bleaChers were
rxulting I'm the downfall Of the New
Yorl, club There was not single
danger signal I'm sight. Suddenly the
Giants became transformed from hit
less weddings to real Giants who
hammered the speed and slants Of
tho indian twirler to all parts Of the
park.
It was in the lucky seventh" that
the storm If hits burst upon the as
tonished Athletics and before the
ahorigine and his fellow players
could recover, three Giants ma"
