getting a double, a triple and sil
two more.
But it was in their support of Barnes
that the Giants shone. They were all
over the field, eating up hard hit drives
by miraculous catches and making won
derful stops Of drives along the ground.
Time and again the big mob was up on
its feet prepared for the big canopy
raising only to sink back in disgust
when Fletcher, Zimmerman, Doyle,
Young, Kauff or Burns performed some
circus stunt with the ball.
On the other hand, the Reds didn't
give their boXman the best support in
the world. and the Giants last two
tallies. were slightly tainted, but the
first two, the result of their fierce
attack after Burns blazcd the way with
dynamic double, were cleanly earned.
Neale was an offender behind
Ruethcr. and so was Kopp, while the
rest Of the team seemed unsteady and
their work ragged at times. The
Giants got the Jump" in this game

battles of the series, and this about

Largest Crowd Sees Game
The crowd was the largest that ever
attended q ball game in Cincinnati. AT
80 the stands, beachers and roped
off spaces on the field were full to over
flowing. At o'clock the doors were
closed to all except ticket holders, and
many of these had to fight for their
places after they got in. Every fence,
roof and window ledge within two
blocks OF the outfeld fences was
ianmcd. Every known noise making de-
vice was in evidence, both inside and
outside the grounds.
Inside the grand stand every avail
able space was full. Boys climbed into
the steel braces that held up the roof
ard the runways and stairways were
jammed by hundreds in utter defiance
of fire rules. Men and women sat
patiently for hours-some had arrived
al / o'clock and whilcd the time away
after the teams arrived by cheering
the Reds and hooting the Giants.
The batting practice of the New
Works had to be cut short because the
balls that were fouled into the crowds
on. the /feld never came back. Those
that belonged to the Reds were
promptly returned, but shat wasn't the
casY when the property of the Ne"
Y0rks was concerned.
Barnes pitched himself out of 6
mighty tight place in the first The big
+ Kansan seemed nervous, and wher
Rath tapped the second pitch to left fo1
clean single the crowds whoopet
things up some, but not marker tt
the roar that came when Jake Daubert
lined a long single to kauff and Ratl
went all the way to third. Kautf made
a fruitless throw to Zim and Dauber
kept on to second on the play.
Barnes Tightcns Up
With men or second and third an(
no one out Barnes began to pitch. HI
rot the dangerous Groh on pop fl.
to Gonzales. Then Roush's puny tai
in front of the plate was tossed tt
Gonzales by Barnes and Rath wa
blocked at the plate. When Fletche
took Neales hopper over second on
lightning play and forced Roush
second with a toss to Doyle, deel
groan rose from the multitude.
Ruether started off like the proverbia
mansion in flames. He retired tn
Giants in order in the first thre
frames, striking out Burns and Youn
In the first and Doyle in the secon'
aud getting the other six hitters OF
puny pops Only two balls went bs
yond the iniied.
But it was different in the fourth TO
Ruether Burns, first up. "pickled tn
first ball pitched over Bressler's hea
and into the crowd. 1t was two
Dagger because of the ground rule:
but might have been triple OF home
in clear field. "Pep" Young laid dow
neat sacrifice bunt toward first, an
Daubert lust beat him to the bag wit
the ball
With Burns on third Fletcher slappe
single through the closely drawn Re
infield, and the first New York ru
came in. Larry Doyle kept up the bon
bardment with a line single to righ
and Fletcher made third by fin
sprint and slide Kautf brought him
made pretty throw to the plate, bv
Fletcher hooked his leg away fro
Rarden and won close decision fro
KLEIN.
Neale was responsible for the Gia1
run in the fifth. He muffed Chase
high fly, then booted it away from hir
and Hal got two bases. Mike Gonzal'
bunted, but it went straight to Rueth'
and a quick throw to Groh got Cha:
diving into third-a close decision th
went against the Giants.
Burns then hit high and far 10 Neal
who misjudged the ball and then ke
it from rolling into the crowd, so TIL
Gonzales scored and Burns went
third while GREASY" was playing ma
bles with the pellet. If he had let Il
ball go into the throng there wou
have been no scoring.
Fletcher Shines at Short
Fletcher's great fielding robbed tt
Reds of a run in the fifth, with two o,
Ruether hit Texas Lacquer single
centre, Barnes passed Rath, Daube
SKINNED cannon shot over secol
which Fletcher nailed on the run al
tossed to Doyle, just i'm time to for
the speedy Rath by an inch.
The Reds surely were "outa luc
in the sixth. Heinie Groh led
with terrific liner that Fletch
nabbed. Roush tripled into the Gro,
in deep centre. 1t looked like a SEQ
for Cincinnati, but Zim was right
the track Of Neale's rife shot to lie
speared it, and got to third ahead
Roush for an unassisted double pls
Long and continued moaning of cha
luck" came from the fans.
History almost repeated itself
the seventh. Chase started off as
did in the fifth by hitting to rig
for a single, and again Neale ms
handled the ball, and the alert Cha
made second, Gonzales again bunt'
but this time successfully, and Chs
made third. Barnes hit to Daube
and Hal couldn't score, but he ca
in when Burns raped his third-safe
to deep short. Kopf made nice ST.
