game was filled with some spectacular
fielding, several utterly impossible
catches being made. Mann made the
most improbable catch and later on

crowd for Labor Day.
The Braves started to make it diff
cult for the Giants as early as the first

It happened when Ross Young lifted
one into short left. 1t ought to have
been q hit. But Mann came cavorting
in and reached the ball with his finger
tips. Having secured the pill in his
dlglts lie made five or SIX revolutions
on his head. When he came to the sur
lace OF the soggy grass he was holding
the pill IN his hand. 1t was a thor

to 90 when the thing Is pulled before
YOUR very eyes? You've just got to
believe them.
In the same inning Boeckel cheated
Fletcher out Of hit by another i'm

himself into throwing position.
