covered himself by the time Mike
Mowrey came UP. and the former Car
dinal was satisfied with a sacrifice hunt,
which placed Mcnsor on second. Hans
Wagner then came to the bat.
The crowd hailed the veteran, calling
for home run. The old German didn't
make home run. but did the next
best thing. He belted the ball far be-
yond the realms of Bescher for three
bagger. Wagner. however. died at the
plate when Niox nit TO Stock.
In the third frame the Giants pene-
trated the defences Of the Pirates and
tied up the score Bescher opened fire
with a single to centre. He immediate
~ broke out for second. and when
Larry Doyle sent the ball into right
centre field for a clean hit, fleet footed
Bob reached third base.
George Burns swung hard on the
ball. but Joe Kelly was under il when
it dropped in time to make a neat
catch. II was a matter of supreme ease
for Beschor to cakewalk home. A mo-
mcnt later Dave Robertson smashed
into double play.
Innings Packed Full of Thrills.
And that was an end Of the scoring
until the hair raising finish, when
Larry Doyle wrote his name in bold
characters across the pages of base
ball history But if there was paucity
of runs, there was plenitude Of
thrills. Time and again the pitchers
were called upon to repel attacks on
the home plate, and they issued from
their periis with colors flying. There
was only a small crowd on hand-one
af ko CF ho
every man Jack sat fast to his seat
until the last man had been retired.
When George Burns tripled in the
first inning with two out. and was left
high and dry, a few of the crowd rose
to applaud. Little did they realize
that baseball OF just that type was TO
be seen in profusion throughout the
rest of the afternoon. II was not long,
however, before II dawned upon them
that this was not the ordinary, common
variety of garden baseball game, and
enthusiasm rose as time fitted.
Both teams got men on the bases
frequently, the Pirates finding the way
more often. Such was the mettle Of
the pitchers steel however, that the
path 10 the plate after the third inning
was as impossible as an Amazon jun
gle or the way to the source Of the
River of Doubt.
Adams SnufIs Rallies of Giants.
The Giants got two men on bases in
the second frame. thanks TO errors by
Wagner and Jimmy Niox, on taps by
Merkle and Meyers, respectively. There
was only one man down at the time,
but neither Milton Stock nor Rube
Marquard could produce a hit.
In the fifth Marquard singled, and
finally worked his way around to third
base, but Dave Robertson fell victim
to the wiles Of Babe Adams and struck
out. Each strike was beauty, with
a follow through that would do credit
to Chick Evans.
In the ninth inning. too, the Giants
had a chance. Fletcher singled and
stole second, but Meyers fouled weak
r. to George Gibson, and Stocks roll
Ter found a resting place in the greedy
nav Of the old reliable Wagner.
And so il continued right TO the end.
Time and again the contendlng teams
made demonstrations, but in each in
stance the pitchers rose in their wrath
and snuTed the trouble right out. Here
and there an error worked its way IN,
but even these marplots could not
bring about the downfall of either.
There is an end to all things hui
man. however. and some one had to
weaken. Fortunately, from New
York standpoint at least, II was Adams
who first faltcred in his stride, and al
the first outward and visible sign OF
distress Bescher and Doyle leaped into
fame and glory.
