GIANTS VS.. RED SOX

The Giants and Red Sox met on the
diamond last Saturday and from the start
to the finish played good ball. The Giants
securing two runs and the Red Sox three
in the first inning. The Giants failed to
score in the second but allowed the Sox to
tally two scores. Neither side was able to
cross the plate in the third or fourth in
ming. In the fifth the Sox were again
luckless but the Giants went on rampage
and before the Sox could bring them to
time they had tailed seven times, making
the score to in the Giants favor
Throughout the remaining two innings the
Giants stood still at but the Sox brought
in three scores and when the whistle blew
the score was to and the Red SOx' name
was Dennis.
All the boys played good ball, and sew
eral made excellent individual plays.
Sargent lined out three Dagger in the
third but failed to score. Butler of the
Giants got busy and with fine head work
proceeded to make a double play all by
his lonesome, and not being satisfied with
that attainment he put the third man out
in the next play. Grannelly occupied the
box for the Giants in the last inning and
we believe it due to him that the Sox did
not win the game, however, we never can
tell, be that as it may. The game had one
remarkable distinction, in as much that
only five suSstitutions were made during
the game.
The score by innings follows:
