Leader OF Giants. finds himself face TO
face with new reignbor
ity Of Burns. and George was plainly
nettled He guessed he'd about show

Like a meteor that ball rang of the
hickory Like mad Leach and Good

on the bali sped as the gray-cIad run
ners dashed for the plate. At last the
ball was returned. but Burns was hug
giug third and the others had long
since scored. 4 moment later Smith
cut loose with q wild pitch and Burns
counted.
That blow brought about the retire
ment of smith. and iu the next inning

holding the visitors boz check. For two
innings be succeeded nicely. but in the
sixth the scoring lust broke out again
and he was mauled for tally. This
was followed by two more iu the

while George Pierce. the lcfthanded
spitball artist. tried his luck. Pierce
tried. but failed His four-prougcd
