Supported Like Millionaires.

Both pitchers were supported like
uillionaires, the work of Fletcher,
Evers. Maranville and Honey being es-
pecially praiseworthy. Yet one slip on
q fairly easy chance cost Rube Schauer
a fine game. Il has been many weeks
since McGraw started the big right
handler, but he decided TO give Schauer
one more chance. And the Rube seized
the occasion 10 show not only bale of
stuff. but fine control. -Four hits
through the first ten innings tells the
story Of his prowess.
The fatal mishap came in the third
through no fault Of the pitcher. Hank
Gowdy was up and Hank promptly hit d
high foul that scared forty feet into
the air less than twelve feet back Of the
plate. Rariden partly misjudged the
ball in the wind and when he finally
got under IL the elusive missile popped
out of his glove, yielding the Brave
catcher a new grip on life. He followed
with a single and then stole, although
Larry Doyle indicated by series of
violent gestures that he believed the
runner was out. Maranville followed
with a high line smash TO left, which
George Burns partly misjudged In the
sun.
OlQlnhIlly GcOIEt WOu4Q nave ut-
voured the blow without salt, but II
finally sailed above his head for two
base hit, scoring Gowdy. But for these
two slips Schauer would have shut out
the Braves with two pallid singles,
showing how close a guy can come to
fame and then not land where Fate
takes hand. II was in this inning that
tbe Braves pilfered three bases on Rari-
den. Evers and Maranville working the
double steal as Connolly famed.
The lone Giant run came in the
fourth. when Burns tripled to right and
Robertson scored him with a sacrifice
~ To show the effectiveness Of Nehf's
pItching and the Braves defence, in ten
~ the eleven innings only three Giants
csme 10 bat. In seven Of the eleven inn
ings no one reached first, and IN the
others a double play or an attempted
steal wiped away the man who got on;
This defeat makes total or elght
,xtra inning affairs the Giants have
lost at home, without having won a bat
tle bevond the regulation distance.
They got the pitching yesterday, but
lacked the punch, as neither Robertson
nor Doyle, the two leading sluggers'
was able TO strike Nehf for a blow.
Ksuf soaked a single and double, but
his weak throw from centre let Evers
,core the winning rv7 in the eleventh.

Break Down McQuillan Defence.


ings. the Robins broke through the de-
fence OF George McQuillan and gath
cred three perfectly good runs in the
fourth frame. Casey Stengel walked
and stole. He took third when Dave
Bancroft booted grounder by Mowrey,
and scored on Cutshaw's nit. Mowrey
took third on this last bingle, and
crossed the rubber when Ivy Olson
singled. Cutshsw rounded third on
Olson's hit, and he dashed over when
Chief Meyers laid down pretty squeeze
bunt. In the next inning two more runs
we're registered. and McQuillan was
driven to cover. Myers bunted and
Daubert singled in succession, and
Stengel's double scored Myers, placing
Daubert on third. At this point Chal-
mers entered the game. Mowrey's long
fly scored Daubert with the final run OF
the game.
The second game was about every
thing that the score would indicate. Ben
der had a narrowing experience in the
first inning, when the Robins batted
all around, making four hits and two
hit batsmen good for three runs. But
then the Chief settled pretty well, and
had he not been in collision with Lew
McCarty at the plate in the seventh
inning might have won his game. But
the Indian was painfully injured, and
for a while there was much doubt of
lis continuing in the game. Develop
ments proved that it would have been
much better had he remained out Every
move was painful, and unable 70 put
