Giants in Final Battle
Dodgers Close Season Series at Polo Grounds With a
to 5 Victory-McGraws Men Win Years
Intercub Honors.
By FREDERICK G. LIEB.

Both Smith and Nehf later gave way to
pinch hitters.
Dubuc and Mamaux were the sue
cessors. and the latter did far better in
relief role than Jean. Mamaux
pitched with the same brilliant style
that he displayed last Thursday, when
the Dodgers support blew one of the
prettiest games pitched on the Polo
Grounds this year. In three innings the
Giants couldn't touch him for a hit,
though he walked two. But he quickly
cancelled Kelly's pass by catching him
mapping at first base. Mamaux appears
to be back, no mistake about 1t. Hehas
his old nerve and the old time snap, and
when he has that with his fast ball
there isn't a better pitcher in the league.
Dubuc No Mystery.
The Dodgers. on the other hand, got
to Dubuc as freely as they had to Nehf.
In each the seventh and eighth a
punched double and single gave Brook
Ign its tying and winning runs.
That part of the $4,000 crowd which
was there promptly at O'Clock saw two
pretty fielding gems In the first inning.
In the Brooklyn half young Frisch made
n great running catch on Myers In right
field, catching his fly on the foul line.
In the New York half Zach Wheat
rushed into left centre for Fletcher's lift
and clasped 1t with one hand.
The Dodgers started scoring in the
second, when Konetchy opened his at
tack on the New York twirler with a
triple to right centre. Discreet coaching
held the big fellow on third. He might
have made II A homer. He scored any
way when Kilduff knocked a single to
left.
Kauff tied It up for Manhattan in the
second half when he drove homer into
the lower right field stand. It was Ben's
tenth homer OF the year. The other nine
were made while he was feeling we'll
Dodgers Launch Drive.
Brooklyn launched another fierce Of
fensive In the third and batted out two
more runs Two were out when John
ston cuffed a high bounder. OF Zimm's
glove. He scored when Myers drove far
over Kauffs head for triple. HI must
have got mixed up on the coacher's sig
nails as he slid into third base, for
Fletcher hadn't even caught the first
relay from the outfeld 1t looked as
though Myers. too, could have made the
circuit He scored when Wheat cracked
a double to left.
Brooklyn Increased its lead to three
runs in the fifth. when Olson doubled TO
left and scored on Myers's single TO
right. The Giants got one back in their
half. Frisch singled TO right Frank,
incidentally. was only the second man
TO reach base on Smith. He took third
on Kauffs single 10 the same pasture
and scored when Kelly hit into a double
play.
The Dodgers were peevish In the sixth
when the Giants took the lead. They
blamAd most OF their woes on Hank
O'Dav. but Ivan the Terrible was the
cuiprit. McGarty. batting for Neiif. elm
gled and Chase ran for him, Hal was
forced by Burns. and Young singled TO
centre Fletcher lifted to Hickman for
the second out. Zimmerman then sin
gled TO centre, scoring Burns, Young
taking third and Heinie second on the
throw to get Pep.
Frisch then rolled to Olson, whose
high throw just barely pulled Konetchy
off the bag, though the Dodgers would
not agree with Olson that this was the
