didn't get the Giants much toward re-
covering their lost lead, but tho banking

the game had was spell Of childish kick

perfectly correct decision apparently and

stingcrs off Schmutz. The unbridled
sloughing OF the pitchers was ono OF the
games sidelights. Matty's control was
absolute, and generally he toyed with the
Brooklyn batters when anybody wns on
base. Only once was there moro than
one man on base.
