The Giants started with Joe Oesch-
ger, who for some weird, inscrutable
reason was obtained by McGraw from
the Phillies. Oeschger was hit four
times in the first inning and spent the
rest of the afternoon in seclusion. Fred
Toney, the Stalled Atlanta pitcher,
lasted till the ninth, when he was
yanked after the Dodgers had pounded
him for tie and the winning run.
The victory puts the Dodgers back in
second place, and incidentally puts
some heart back into Robbie. The game
was yanked right out OF seething
furnace by battling rally led by Big
Ed Konetchy
Blows" in Final Inning
It looked as though Toney would
hold them safe with the two-run lead
when the ninth inning dragged around.
But Konetchy started Toney to waver-
ing when he drove a double to left
that knocked a stalwart Burns Agency
policeman right off his pins. Robbie
hustled out Johnston to run for Big
Ed. After a couple of Intellectual at
tempts to bunt Malone sent high fly
right into Bonnie Kauff's eager hooks.
Kruger drove a clean hit to cen
ire and Johnston dashed over with the
run that tied. Judging from the
clamor that shook the stands, large
part of the population of Flatbush
might have discovered the way out of
the labyrinths of Brooklyn yesterday
afternoon.
With the CLINT of battle in his eye
Wilbert Robinson dashed out and halt
&c the game. while he substituted
Hickman for Kruger on the bases. By
this time Fred Toney looked decidedly
unhappy. Able Seaman Marquard
shuffled up to the plate, gave his trou~
sers nautical hitch. and peeped over
his port shoulder to take soundings
At an early heave of the lead he
caught hold of the ball and sent it TO
the left-field corner of the fairway for
a wo-bagger, scoring Hickman with
what proved the winning run.
BY this time the unhappy Toney
was alternately breaking into warm
and cold Precipitation. The stall-fe
pitcher went wilder every second. He
passed Olson on four pitched balls and
Magee let two bad ones 60 by.
Winters Checks Rally
McGraw stuck his head from the
dug-out and gave Art Fletcher a
glance that was eloquent with express
sion. Fletcher halted the game and
Toney waddled from the mound. Jess
Winters went in and stopped short
the mad charge of the Dodgers. But
the Flatbush Fusiiers had attained
their objective.
The Giants started in the first in
ming after the Dodgers had been
checked without getting a run on four
hits. Ross Young started batting
frenzy for the afternoon by clouting
one to right. He attained second on
wild pitch and scored on Chase's single
to centre.
In the second inning Fletcher started
the dash by driving the ball into shell
crater, or an elephant track, or. some
other indentation on the surface of the
Polo Grounds. The ball rolled for a
three-bagger. Fletcher came across
the plate when Able Seaman Marquard
uncorked another wild shot from his
port gun.
In the fourth inning Fly Myers hoist
ed one to distant centrefeld. Bashful
Benny Kauff went amblng after it
with some of the grace and agility of
baby hippo at play. Benjamin got
his hooks on the ball, but it bounced
right out of them and Myers reached
third, credited with a triple. Konet-
chy's fly brought Myers home.
After that Toney frightened up until
ne suddenly fell apart in the ninth
like a barrel the slaves of which had
become unfastened through .reachery
