An eve for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth may nave been a good policy IN
Mosaic days, but it represents only an
average Of 500 when applied to base
hall. Just now it is the doctrine whlch
the Giants seem bent on upholding'
Having lost to Brooklyn on the preceo-
ing day. they evened the account yes

fellows were pulling the teeth, won MS
first game in many weeks 49,
One wear ago from yesterday the
Giants and the Phillies engaged IN
hitter battle for the leadership OF uhe
league. and when the day was done NC
Crsw's men had gained the top OF the
bcsn. hut the manager himself was lalu
low bv the fist of Ad Brennan.
Reconstruction comes fast IN the case
of baseball wars. and there was nothing
IN suggest Yesterday anything out tne
most amicable relations between the
two clubs. Charlie Dooin'S men almost
rival the Yankees as good losers. Falth-
mi in their fatalism, they take the
breaks of the game and the umpire
with equanimity.
Reals Becker, for instance, hat nome
run in the ninth inning, but compT9-
missed on q double without protest ne
drove a ball against the upper ter OF
the grandstand. but seemingly hlgieI
did not see il Alright and allowed the
hall 70 be put in play. Not man on
the Philadelphia team made profess.
Perhaps Becker needs no SOCKS or
cigars or other perquisites OF the nome

Burns safe at third when he appeared
"a he out b. a wide margin. but again
the Phillies merely grinned good
naturcdlv and went about their work.
Charlie Doom announced during the
course Of the game that he had traded
Josh Devorc to the Boston Braves Tor
lack Martin, the lnfielder who was
once with the Yankees and later with
Rochester. .
The news did not cause Josh any
great Joy and he declared that he
might 90 to the Tip Tops, but the an
nouncement of the coming of Martin
made Sherwood Magee smile his hrst
sn-ile in many weeks. Magec is playing
AT shortstop for the Phillies. He does
not look like a shorstop; he does not
act like a shortstop, and only by
grossly circumstantial evidence VIII ne
ever be convicted of shortstopplng.
Now ne NAV drop his disguise and so
back to the outheld. D,,
Oeschger was in the box for Phil
sdelphia, but his delivery is not near
Nv as difficult as his name. He was
hit so hard that Charlie Doom was
driven at last to send in another pitch
or of such obscurity that he was not
even indicated on the score card.
Matteson was the newcomer. ne
lacks more than a few letters OF beng
a Mathewson. Oeschger showed the
pernicious effect OF the new dances
when he tried 20 introduce hesits-
tion in his pitching motion. Inc re-
suit was a balk and the moundman
discarded the step Immediately.
Josh Devore was sent into the game
in the ninth to strike one last blow
for Philadelphia, but he only upper
cut the ball for an infeld fly.
Bescher began the game with an
infeld hit. He stole second and took
third on a balk. Fletcher's single
brought Bescher home. In the third
Bescher again singled. but this time
he was forced by Burns, who stole
second. Fletcher walked and again
the Giants showed contempt for the
service of Killifer, even if a learned
Judge did refer TO his services as
'unioue." The Giants rose above the
law and stole second and third. A
long sacrifice fly from the bat Of Dave
Robertson scored Burns.
In the fourth the Giants picked up
two runs on a pass to Doyle, single
by Meyers, Bescher's hit and rous-
ing double by Burns. The last two
for the home team were brought over
in the sixth Meyers singled. Dem
aree forced him. Bescher was hit by
a pitched ball and again Burns dou-
bled, scoring both runners
A single by Byrne, doubles by Beck
er and Lobert and two infeld outs
scored the three runs of the Phillies
in the ninth.
Beals Becker made good catch up
against the left field fence in the fifth
inning off Fred Merkle, and Dave Rob
ertson also served TO relieve the mo-
notony OF the afternoon just bit in
the eighth with running catch which
wronged Killifer.
The score follows:
