I've this afternoon In Boston the

now only two full games behind. The

work against him are always at their
best. while the Giants are troubled with
vsak ewes and use worm-eaten bats
when he is on the rubber.
Narousrd allowed the Phillies eight
hits and held them in utter subsection
h sll except the fifth inning when
singles by Byrne and Paskert and
double bv Jack Martin pushed the one
run OF the game over the rubber.
crover Cleveland Alexander worked on

only cause for jubilation by the sup
porters Of the Giants Arthur Fromme
leaned into the forefront IN remark
sble style in the second game. The Cin-
einnsH veteran had one of those days
when he is wellnigh invinclble, ard
never for a momert did he give the
opposition even remote chance. For
seven innings he said jump" and they
jumped with one accord. Not mt

breathed the rarifed atmosphere Oh

trod the primrose path on bases on

The first hit came in the eighth mn

There is not a man on the Giants to-
