The same play was worked by Other
Giants in other innings. but little sim
ups killed the value of the play.
Jess Barnes scored the distinction q,

Clarence Mitchell, who worked for
the Robins, gave the McGraw crew

retired without much ado. Johnston
singled after Olson had flied out. Grif-
fifth forced him at second Fletcher to
Doyle. Wheat bounded to Zm who
nailed the sphere, then set himself for
the throw and finally dropped the ball.
