Fred loney, Mig OF DIZZY NV"N
Nashville. Tenn. interposed his mighty
frame between the Giants and victory
and at the finish left JEFF Tesreau
stranded at the ODDS Of to 2.
Tonev. in spite Of his abnormal
strength, took ten innings TO haul the
Reds safely through, as his support
slipped in the seventh and gave UP a
run unattached to anything like MT
The melee between Toney and les
reau was something more than a
pitcher's battle; it was battle OF
pitching mammoths. The monarch oil
Billy Goat Hill is the strongest man
wearing the harness Of the game. les
reau is the games largest pitcher.
The wonder is, with all TINS dlsp!aY
Of gsrgantuan stuff that either slue
ever made hit.
Big JEFF Hit Hard.
Yet the Reds assaulted Big Jef for
triple. four doubles and four singles
leaving the amazed Giants with only
two home victories for the entire year
They have won only two games mere
from the Braves. Robins, Phillies and
Reds. yet they are within a game ana
a half Of the top.

Toney passed Fletcher and wild-pitch,esI,

The Reds jumped on ahead in the
fourth. Wingo and Griffith opened hre
with singles. Mollwitz hunted to les
reau. and with Wingo twenty feet from
third Tesreau's peg TO the bag popped
out Of McKechnie's glove. the mlscue
being about $3.50, as the throw was
not perfect one. Herzog's force
scored Wingo a moment later.
Things looked a trihe pale for the
Giants with Toney pitching so well,
but Kauf started the seventh with a
walk. Bonnie took second on Fetch
er's out. pilfered third and then raced
ON home when Wingo's throw rolled
into left. This was tough break for

The Reds came within an ace Of nab

that started for the right centre exits.
