Fielding-Brooklyn Bench
Cleared by Klein.

~ GEORGE ID. UNDERWOOD.
In the last battle the Clan McGraw
will fight on the Flatbush frontier this
season the Giants emerged victorious, 4
to ., in game that kept $4,000 specta-
tors on the qui vive at Ebbets Field
yesterday afternoon.
Burleigh Grimes .outpitched Jess
Barnes, the pride Of the New York
hurting corps The difference in the
score was due to the difference in the
support accorded to the two boxmen.
The Giants threw out a Gordon be-
hind Barnes that held like a stone wall
Mt crucial periods, and sensational field
ing by the McGrawmen turned the tide
A dropped throw by Miller at tho plate
In the seventh timing let in what proved
to be New Yorks winning run.
II ever O pitcher deserved the laurels
It was Grimes. who not only pitched baf-
fling ball but was In the forefront Of
the Dodger attack at bat, blazing out a
single In the seventh that drove In Kill
dun and put Miller in position to reg
lister on Olsons following sacrifice fly.
But hard luck camped on Grimess trail
throughout.
Not only did break after break 60
against him and Miller lose the game
for him but in covering first base on a
play in the eighth frame he was spiked
so severely he had to be carried of the
field and probably will not be able to go
on the mound again this season.
Grimes BADLY Spiked.
Starting the eighth Frisch grounded
to Konetchy. 1t looked as II Ed had
plenty of time to get to the bag before
Frank. but with Grimes racing over
Konetchy waited and made a short toss
| to the pitcher. Grimes reached the bag
a flash ahead OF Frisch. who In his
desperate jump for the bag landed, steel
| flashing. on Burleigh's right ankle. The
| spikes tore deep cash Just above the
ankle and cut clear to the bone on the
instep. The latter laceration required
| four stitches by DR.. Casey, the cub
physician. and Dr.. Friedman from the
Swedish Hospital. who assisted. For
| tunately no tendon or artery was sew
| cred.
The Dodgers got to Barnes for eleven
safeties They punched three hits for a
tying run in the fourth and clustered
three smashes in q row for pair OF
runs In the seventh In other tight
holes there always was a New York
fielder to hurl himself into the breach
| and spike the Brooklyn rally. The
| fielding piece de resistance was per-
| formed by Heinie Zimmerman in the
second frame.
With one down and Hickman on sec
ond by virtue of two base muff by
Fletcher. New York's lone error Of the
game. Little Kilduff, who had been New
| York's Nemesis throughout the series,
dashed low liner toward third. Ninety
| nine times out of a hundred such a
drive would have been two base blow
at least and would have scored Hick-
man.
i Zimmerman's Great Stop.
But zimmerman, with a iightnins
Iulge, stuck his meat hand in the way
of the bulletlilxe drive and plucked the
ban few inches above the dirt. Re-
covering his balance quickly. zim
turned, and with a peg TO Frisch
doubled up Hickman before he could
| get back to the bag.
One of the most sensational catches
ever seen at Ebbets Field was Chase's
corral of NIiller's apparent two base hit
far down the right field foul line in the
ninth inning. II was too far in and
over for Young, who was playing fol
Miller we'll to centre, to get to- Chase
raced half way to the fence before he
got under it and pulled It down. Miller
was tobbed of another hit by a great
running catch by Kauff in the THIRD
frame
Young spiked two Brooklyn rallies
with great throws. Grimes attempted
to stretch his single in the seventh ant
was nailed by Pops rife bullet peg Il
Frisch. Myers single to right in thu
eighth was followed by another smasf
to the same pasture by Konetchy. HS
tried for third on the clout. but Young''
wonderful whip to Zimmerman beat the
fleet Dodger by foot.
KLEIN Clears Bench.
The Dodgers were handicapped by thu
absence of Zach Wheat, who reported
sick. That necessitated sending Hick
man, a iotoriously weak hitter, to left
Jimmy didn't get bingle. but he wal

by Kauff with Konetchy on ahead II
