thuslasts, crowd that almost equailed
the combined attendance at the first
two games, scared TO the heights or
sank into the depths as the Giants de
feated the Yankees in the third game
of the city series at the Polo GROUNDS
yesterday afternoon. IL was a battle
of long hits, lasting ten innings; and
while in point Of number the Yankees
had the advantage, the Giants made
their few count. The score was TO
3. and the National League team has a
lead of one game IN the series. or the
eleven runs scored, no fewer than seven
were built around drives for extra
bases.
Mike Donlin. who again assumed the
duties of manager, struck blow ln
defence of his team and paved the way
for victory. With two men on base, m
the eighth inning, he elected himself
to the position OF pinch hitter IN place
of Rube Marquard, and smashed ring
ing triple to the left centre field fence.
He scored a few minutes later when
Bob Bescher smashed long Ay TO deep
left, registering the run which tied the
score.
II Donlin laid the keel. It was for Al
Demaree to launch the stroke which,
aided by the luck of the game, brought
about a consummation devoutly to be
wished by every National League en-
thusiast in the stands. When Al came
I'D to the plate there were two down,
and some hard hearted Yankee rooter-
there were many of these on hand
called in strident tones Three out
The slur was so obvious that Al natu-
rally felt he had TO resent 1t. And he
set about doing it at once.
He picked out one Of Fishers incest
spitters and drove it to right field for a
clean single Cook lost the ball mo-
mentarily in the gathering gloom and
then allowed it TO roll through his legs
to the fence. Demaree. by dint OF
furious sprinting. completed the CIRCUIT
of the bases, touching every one, and
counting the winning run. Then he
pranced to the clubhouse. surrounded
by the usual mob, which IS always ready
to touch the hem of the heros garment
on such occasions.
With perhaps 1900 spectators IN the
stands, all told ll,222 passed through
the turnstiles after paying the tafl'
necessary TO gain admission. The com
bned attendance at the games on
Thursday and Friday was 1906.
An error here and there, q couple OF
close decisions and several outbreaks
by the Giants aided the extra base
drives in making the day memorable.
Mike Donlin argued several points with
Hart. the umpire behind the plate, and
was roundly abused by the crowd.
Later, when his hit turned the tide, he
was acclaimed.
There is no way OF keeping Fred
Snodgrass out of baseball story.
These Californians seem to have way
of getting there" This year Fred IS
not on the big time. but he is pulling
all his old stuff in all its pristine glory.
The way in which he mutfed Hartzells

base, who scored, called TO mind one

Ray Fisher pitched for the 1anket

the world. He was found for baker 3

Doyle and Bescher and Donlln's trip.e.
Some honor was his in that he laste

Il was not until the fourth frame

Giants in the last half OF the same
