rally had the Giants guessing. Up to
the seventh he didn't allow a Giant to
reach third base. When McGraw's men
did get to him they battered his puzzlers
with a vengeance. The rally was an
old time Giant one and the fans agreed
that the New Workers didn't appear any

The Giants showed q disposition TO

six innings not a Pirate reached third
