GIANTS KEEP ON
 w INNING GAMES
Victory Over Dodgers Yes. terday Makes It Eight
 Straight-Yanks Lose

The Dodgers almost broke into the winning colmn yesterday when they renewed hostilities with the Giants at Ebbets Field. With a ninth inning rally they drew even with their rivals from Manhattan, but when Lew Mc- Carty came forth in the tenth with a mighty wallop and scored on Wilhoits sacrifice fly, the Robins were once more forced to be content with the short end of the score. All of which may go to prove that it was bit of bad judgment when this same Mo Carty was traded by Brooklyn to New York.
 Not only did the Dodgers make a. belated rally, but they stated off with three runs in the initial inning. It was not until the fourth inning that McGraw's men were able to draw even, but after that they forged ahead and the game looked as good as ever when the first of the Robins came to bat in the ninth. Pol Perritt, who had been unsteady on several occasions, was the object
  singled and Myers brought him home with a double to centre that rolled out and shook hands with the man at the score board. Johnston cracked single to Fletcher, and Myers, coming down from second, crossed in front or the ball so that F'letcher's eyeslght suffered an eclipse, and the sphere trickled out to left field, Myers SCOT ing. A sacrifice by Hickman ad- vanced Johnston to second, and then came one of those plays which may even in baseball, be called lucky.
 With the score tied and only one out. OrRourke lined the ball tnward centre field. By all the rules of the game Larry Doyle should have been perched some ten yards out or the line of flight, but, instead, he was right in the path of the hit and neat double play was enacted py Doyle, unassisted. The Giants stlll had a punch left and the winning run was made with McCarty's triple as the foundation, in the tenth inning.
 The fielding gem of the day was Johnston's catch of Holke's drive in the fourth inning which went as a sacrifice when Doyle scored. The Dodger outfelder had to almost dig the ball out of the turf as he came in on a gallop.
 With such an advantage last veal Ray would have doubtless swept on tC victory. It was the custom of th' 1917 Tanks to keep far away iron the scoring station whenever Ray wa! in the box. His good work therefore went for naught in many battle.
 Ray was not used to such prosper ity as a three-run margin. He be gan to wabble in the first inning kept wabbling more and more unti the first three men in the sixth inn ing had hit him safely and there wa nary a man out. Then at the be hest of Miller Higgins, Ray wabble' to the bench His place on tn mound was taken by Slim Love, wh is at present head of the Yanke Rescue Mission.
 Love plodded along through tn remainder of the sixth, the sevent and the eighth and then gave way t a pinch hitter in the person of Zin Beck, and was succeeded in the bo by Mogridge It was the same sa tale as far as Mogridge was concerned for the hammering he received in tn ninth gave the Senators the winnin runs.
 If the Tanks had their troubles i the pitching line, so did the Wash ingtonians Clark Griffith picke Hackensack Harry Harper to bear tn twirling burden. The burden be came too much for Harry after tw innings and Shaw went to his relic The second Griffith boxman taste three innings, just long enough to a low Home Run Baker to make h first circuit clout of the season. An then came Earl Yingling, who mar aged to weather the storm until tn end.
