The upper part of the Giants batting
order was an incubus on the team. and
although good batting was done from
Snodgrass down the last four hitters

Napoleon Rucker emerged from his

were a barren waste.
This was the second game in the series
in which the Giants We're weak after the

in four innings that the first man u,l
