The Phillies braced perceptibly on the
Polo Grounds yesterday. but not enough
to win. They let the Giants know they
were in ball game, something they did
not do in Fridays opening splash. when
they behaved like a troupe OF bur-

Lieut.. Jesse Winters. the 1.-THE young
Texan, saved the bacon for McGraw's
contingent yesterday. Jesse never got
any nearer the Germans than Camp
Travis, but he showed the steel nerves
OF a true warrior. McGraw picked out
tough spot to give Winters his Ma

Jesse then held the Pills safe In the

COMBS also uncovered a real pitcher.
He was Frank Woodward, youngster
who gave the Giants tough time in
Philadelphia last week. Woodward
started the 1917 season with the New
ark Internationale. and later Joined the
navy, Coombs took him South this
spring for a tryout. and sent him into
one Of his early New York games in
Philadelphia. after the Giants had
pounded Oeschger for five runs in four
innings. Woodward stopped the Giants
without another run. while the Phillies
mauled out a victory.
Williams Helps Woodward.
Yesterday Woodward again gave the
Giants a strong argument. He held
them to eight hits, and had splendid con-

youngster a lot OF trouble in the third

Woodward had one confederate in Cy
Williams, the Quaker City centre fielder.
The big fellow raced far back for num-
erous long drives which were hit into
his locality and those of neighboring out
fielders. Especially was the Notre Dame
colegian active in the eighth. when he

The Giants countered with two runs ir
