GIANTS Score in Fourth
The Giants finally managed to
break through on Hogg in the fourth,
and the only tally gathered tied tbs
score. Ross Young beat out slow
roller to third base, only to pass away
with Fletcher on a double play en-.
ginecred by Bancroft Wilhoit walked
and stole second, Bancroft mufinp the
pail. Zimmerman doubled against the
left field wall and Wilhoit tailed Hog0
grabbed Holke's line smash, ending tbs
spasm.
The Giants won the game in tho
sixth, George Burns, the "new centre
helder," opening the rumpus with
single which even the alert Bancroft
could not field in time to retire the
runner. Burns promptly stole second
ana Young walked. Hogg, in an en-
oeaVor TO nail Burns at third on Fleteh-
er's sacrifice bunt, threw bit too lats
and the bases were filled.

nut not until Zimmerman had singledfo
centre, scoring Burns and Young and
putting Fletcher on second. 1t was
nara luck for Hogg, as it did seem that
bancroft might have killed zim's blow,
which the Phillie shortstop knocked
down as it was speeding through the
| lnfleld but failed to hold.
The fact that Holke and McCarty,
batting for Sicking, both struck out
also added to the woe of Hogg.
Giants Increase Lead
The Giants increased their adyan-
tage by one run in the seventh at the
expense Of Jacobs, who succeeded
Hogg ON the mound. Two more Nov
York tallies came in the eighth. In
the seventh the counter came as re-.
suit OF Demaree's surprising single ~
centre, pass to Young, Jacobs's wild
pitch and Fletcher's infield out. Loud
cneers greeted Albertus Perfecto as
ne ambled over the rubber, The fans
seldom see AL scor a run.
IN the eighth Heinie Zim made his
third hit. a single to centre. Holks
walked and Rariden sacrificed. Rod.

late to the plate, and Zim scored

1t was nice bit of headwork on ths
part of Burns and contributed ths
third gray hair to the head OF Pr
Moran.
