June 15.-After holding
the Giant sluggers hitiess and runiess
for six innings to-day Gene Dale loca'
right handler, went completely to pieces
IN the seventh inning. Before the on
slaught was over McGraw's men had run
up a coun, of seven runs in succession
with nooody out and clinched the con-
test for jeff Tesreau. The mai score

emerge from the cellar and turn thar
berth over 10 the Reds.
Until the fatal inning Dale pitched re-

two Reds reached third.
