a clean single to centre.
Tesreau had no trouble in winning the
game. for Kelly's drive was the first and
the last hit as well. The Giants took the
third straight game OF the series by

The poignancy OF Tesreaus grief at

Iessened by the fact that he already has
one such game to his credit. II was
r,tched on September 6. 1912, against the
PhillIes.
