THE DAILY SPORT REVIEW
By HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-The agony
has again been drawn and the Braves
must down the Giants in one game of
the series starting tomorrow, TO put
the final clincher to their hold on the
National League pennant.
The Braves have such a habit OF win

though the men Hank O'Day thinks he
manages suddenly rose up with a ninth
inning rally that all but knotted the
score against Bill James. II fell one
run shy. however, aud with the one big
inning, such as the Braves usually
stage and a triple and sacrifice fly in
the eighth, Stalhpgs' men had enough.
I'm the fourth inning, which netted four
runs. the Braves connected for three
singles. a double and triple. When
Schmidt lined ont his triple in the
eighth, he registered his fourth safe one
of the afternoon.
The Giants have evidently determined
to die hard. even though they have only
about as much chance to cut in on the
Braves as they have of pronouncing
Przemysl. Their double victory over
the Pirates has made il necessary for
the Braves to lick them at least once,
and should they repeat today and by
some strange chance the Braves lose
