WORK OF SALLEE
 AND KAUFF HELPS
 GIANTS TOSVICT0RY

New York, Aug. 30-The Giants had the hardest job of their lives to beat the tafl-end Pirates at the Polo Grounds yesterday. and they finally beat them in the ninth inning by to 5. The ~tussle was packed jam full of a wide variety of baseball, some of it beaming over with excitement The Giants are still suffering from mid summer insomnia and it takes a great shock to wake them up. The sheer humiliation of being trimmed again by tail-enders was all that reused them into action yesterday,
 At times the Giants appear as if the whole plant had run out of fuel and was going to shut down like T. Shont's subway. They wander around the Harlem lot with long faces as if they were suffering with toothache.
 The long-drawn-out victory yester- day showed them up 10 games in front of the flying Phillies, which should have the effect of quieting much of their nervousness of the last few days The Giants have been behaving as if were going to run them up an aI- ley. hit them in the head and take the pennant away from them.
 Al Dernaree started out to pitch another game, but he changed his mind after the seventh inning and disappeared to the clubhouse His slow ,outcurve was knocked full of holes by the Pirates and Jeff Tesreau succeeded him. Jeff was getting into serious trouble in the ninth, when the Giants switched pitchers again and put SalIee into the game, Sallee saved the day all by himself.
 With his pitching he uuenched the Pirates rally when the score was tied at to 5 in the ninth, and when he came to bat in the last of the ninth. he slapped a hit back of second and, with a spectacular outburst of speed, beat out the throw. The sheriff went to second on Burns single to right and then Jimmy Smith was put at second to run for Sal1ee. Robertson pushed the runners along with sac frifice, and this brought Benny Kauff to the bat. Benny raised a sacrifice fly to deep right and Jimmy Smith. carrying Sallee's travelling proxy,
 rushed over the plate with the win ming run.

and would have been retired easily but for the poor peg.
 Bridgeport started its scoring ac- tivities in the eighth when Woodward passed Connolly and Smith. Rrackett was called out on strikes for the first cut. Woodward continued his wild streak by passing Priest4 filling the
 bases. Corcoran shot 6, long drive to Shannon in center fe1dswho made a
 good play. Connolly, however, had
 no trouble scoring after the catch.
 Gather then drove a single to left
 center and Smith tal1ied. Shannon
 fumbled the ball and this enabled
 Priest to reach third and Gather to
 go to second. At this stage Wood
 ward engaged in his fight with Mar tin and Walker went to the mound.
 Walker decided to take no chances
 with Lear and passed him purposely, filling the bases again. After tossing three balls to Grimes, the local pitch CT forced the big first hasernan to pop a foul fly to fDevine for the third out.
 In the ninth round Mercer, who had supplanted Bracket in center fleld,. shot a single off Balls glove. Connolly, after futile attempt to sac- rifce, popped up a fly to the center of the diamond, which Bradshaw choked. Krichell, batting for Smith. hit grounder to Torphy. who; tossed to Ball, forcing Mercer at second. With two out, Lyons singled to left.
 Krichell overran second base on the hit and a, lightning throw by Stinp- ] son reached Ball iA time to catch the
 Bridgeport leader for the final out of the game. The score:
