right arm between the Brooklyn Robins
and the home plate at Ebbets Field
yesterday and the Giants won the final
game Of the series by a score OF 20 q.
The victory gave the New York team
an even break in the six games played.
and In bringing about that highly de-
sired contamination JEFF furnished nine
perfectly good reasons why he should
not be sent 70 St Louis in exchange
for Slim Sallee or any other man in the
Mound City encourage. Each one Of
these reasons was scoreless inning,
pitched with the skill Of 8 master. 1t
is not surprising that the proposed
trade has been declared off.
The big bear hunter has had his own
little troubles in rounding into form
this season. He has been hit hard by
hatters who have been Of little trouble

seemed 70 have lost the knack OF shoot
ing that splitter past the bats. He has
had little trouble in getting II up 70
the hickory, and so perfect has his con
trol been that he actually seemed 20
nit the wood.
II was quite different yesterday. The
prospect Of spending summer, or sew
eral summers, in the hot, malarial val
ley of the Mississippi had gslvsnic
effect on Tesreau.
Robins Get Six Hits.
JEFF held the Robins 10 six hits, and
three Of these were inheld taps. Buck
Wheat got three singles, two OF them
drives 10 the outheld and one O slow

BROOKLYN had a couple Of chances to
break through and score, but these
were slim, and Tesreau, assisted by tne
entire company, saw to IT That they
never improved.
In the sixth Jimmie Johnston doubled

sprint which caught George Burns un-
prepared. Two hands were out ana
Daubert flied 10 left. 49,,

IN mastery fashion.
Burns started the game by coa1li

clouds with his Fly 10 centre and Burns
trotted home. Kauf stole second, put
DOYLE and Fletcher could not advance
him. They flied 90 Johnston and stem

In the fifth McKechnie singled and
stole with one out, but he Was left,

this was done without exciting incl
Chance to Score in Ninth.
There was n thrill IN the last half Of
shc ninth. when Daubert's collision with

ieing run on second but two men were
out, and Mowrcy's fly ended the game.
