Giant fans hav- been as mad with e1"
element as they were yesterday in tbs

had been the cause Of much tribula-
ton to Ralph Stroud. In the six inn
ings Ritter worked he struck out eight
men, gave no passes and allowed only
two hits.
Niehoff's contribution was muR

eighth-inning rally. Had he made the
play perfectly the inning would have
ended. He dropped throw, and after
that four runs came home.
