the Cubs safe until the seventh, when
he commenced to wabble. He was
taken out in the eighth and Jess
Barnes finished the game.
1t seems that there is something in
the legend that the jinx turks for the
Cubs At the Polo Grounds. They have
as yet to win game there this season
from the Giants. This legend does not
hold good for the Reds.
Frank Frisch, the Fordham STAR
played his usual hashy game. George
Burns continued his spectacular field
ing acts in left and was also there with
the timely wallop. The awakening OF
the Giant hitters was the main event
though. A few persons, inclined to op-
tinism. even ventured to state that the
Giants still had chance-a matnemat-
teal chance at least-if the hitting
kept up.
Many on Casualty List

ties in the "croocial" struggle with the
rampaging Reds. Frisch, the amazing
recruit from Fordham, held down sec,

Gonzales, of Cuba, worked sorrowfully

and went to second on Hollocher's sac
rifice. Heinie the zim did fine piece
of retrieving on this bunt and nailed
the Cub shortstop at first. Lee Magee
bounced a hit off Tletcher's shoulder,
and Flack scored.
The Giants seemed galvanized into
something more than passing flicker
of life in their half of the first inning.
George Burns started it with healthy
smash to right field. Then, with two
out, Zimmerman pasted single to
right, scoring Burns. Zim got to Sec

Then came young Frank Frisch, of
Fordham. He smashed a blow to right
and scored Zimm 1t would have
gone for a double if Flack had not
executed some fashy fielding. With
this blow the Respondent multitude,
which had been grieving over the very
probable absence of a worlds series

interest in the game. So did the Giants.
Burns Smothers Rally

George Burns, who has been putting
q lot of melodrama into his fielding of

scoreboard in the third, when he robbed
Vaughn of an apparently certain HIT.
The ball was dropping into short left

Some little acrimony developed in
