directions nowadays. and they lost a ten
inning game by a score OF 6 to 5.
That the Giants weren't beaten in an
encounter OF the usual length was be-
cause of several developments in a game
full Of stir and developments. Mathew

much punching and a modicum OF luck
they ~ransacked his service for six hits
and four runs in the first inning. For
the rest OF his stay the visiting hitting

velopments which held the others down
so that the Giants eventually could tie
