was tied in the seventh when the
drive started Barnes hit to left field
and Burns got his base on balls.
Young drove two o-bagger to left, scor-
ing Barnes. This brought about a
meeting of the Pirate board of STRAIT
egy, and all Pirates interested in the
game gathered at the pitchers box,
I'd Sweeney, of course, remaining at
The home plate. The vote was close,
but it was elected to pull out Miller,
who had been going we'll, and to sub
.stitute Evans.
The squeeze play failed, but it fright
ened Evans so badly that he passed
Hal Chase. Then came Larry Doyle,
vino is still suffering slightly from
the dual shock sustained when he col
lided with a baseball, and Bill Byron
suggested water as a restorative. He
celebrated his convalescence by ham
merng out three Dagger that cleared
the packed bases. A moment later
Bashful Benjamin Kauff sent one into
the right field stands for a home run,
scoring Doyle ahead of him.
Homer for Chase Also
The Giants added two more runs
when Burns drove a single into left
field. Hal Chase bumped q second home
run against the stucco work under the
upper tier of the right field stands and
scored himself and Burns
Up to that seventh inning the pitch
ing Of Bullets" Miller was causing
the Giant considerable annoyance.
The fact that the score was tied in the
fifth was not due to bad pitching on
the part of "Builets," but some terri
BILE fielding on the part of Terrible
Terry, the. Piratical shortstop, who let
q pop fly bounce right out of his hands,
permitting Chase to score from second.
The Giants got one in the first in
ming when Young received base on
balls and stole second. Chase might
have had two bagger but for the low
visibility of Bill Klein. Hal knocked
one just inside the left foul line, but
Bill declared that it was out and he
won. Chase was thrown out, but
Doyle brought Young in with a single
to centre.
s In the third inning the Pirates got
a start when Terry and Stengel
bounced hits past Zimmerman. In each
Ease the ball took bad bound, and
many accusing glances were cast at
Henry FABIAN, the ground keeper.
There were shell holes, bunkers, traps
or other obstacles near third, or
IIeinie would have had a fair chance
at mailing both batters.
! Big Ed" Not Guilty
l. Instantly the theory was advanced
Chat Big Ed Sweeney had been shuf-
fling about this section of the intield
with his big hoofs, but he could
prove an alibi. Big Ed Sweeney has
hot been seen in the vicinity of third
BASE since 1915. This establishes his
annocence. Rumor has it that Edward S
Contract with the Pirates provides he
shall not go outside the three foot
hmit from the home plate. He hasn't
yiolated it during the current series
= Stengel stole third. and Vic Safer
scored both Terry and Stengel with
d clean hit to right field.
+ The Giants tied in the fifth. when
Chase forced Young, who reached first
BY being hit by a pitched ball. Chase
stole second, sliding to the bag head
Foremost, as is his custom. Then Doyle
afted the easy fly to Terrible Terry
who let the ball bounce out of his
bands and the run scored 1t was
enough to take the heart out of any
hurler.
The Giant outheld staged few
comedy acts in the Pirate half of the
seventh. 1t seems that Bashful Benn,

since Ross Young ran in and caught
Q hard fly while doing a somersault.
