Grimes by Frank Frisch, the Fordhar
1t was just such battle that ths4
fans revei in. Action a-plenty from the
opening gong; brainy plays, startling
plays, spectacular catches, fast base
running and chance-taking for the vic
tory by both teams-all furnished the
motley throng with an afternoon chuck
full of entertainment. OF course, the
result was disappointing to most of the
gathering.
Grimes and Jesse Barnes were the
opposing pitchers. They had merry
little tussle, with honors about even
until Grimes was forced out by the re-
grettable mishap. Up TO the accident
ponent. but they came in clusters to
give the Giants all their runs. Barnes
was, hit literally, but support of a
Hashy sort helped him out of several
tight places.
Zach Wheat Out Of Game
1t was the deciding struggle of the
last home series with the Giants this
season and the crowd came prepared
to whoop things up for a local win.
They got their first chance to shout in
the opening period when Jimmy John
seoi SihSicu 70 centfe Jimmy. now
ever, got no further, as Griffith and
Myers We're quickly retired. The
Dodgers played without their leader
and star left fielder, Zach Wheat, who
reported sick. Hickman played in his
place.
McGraw's men put over ran in the
second inning which gave them the
lead. Zi,n tapped to Konctchy, who
tossed to Grimes. Frisch singled to
right. and when Benny kautf whaled
another hit to the same territory, the
speedy lrisol' dashed to third. The
former Fordhamite and Chase then
worked the squeeze, kauf taking sec
ond while Frisch was scoring and Chase
WAS being thrown out ny Grimes. Con-
zales grounded out to Olson.
The local fans and fannettes were
impaticntly awaiting chance to let
loose their pent-up feelings. 1t wasn't
until the fourth that their opportunity
came.T Griffith smashed q single. into
left to open the inning. Myers
hoisted to Benny Kauff in deep centre,
but Koney cheered the onlookers with
slow roller to Zim which he beat out.
Right here Heinie made brainy play
that was no less great because it just
missed succeeding.
Zm, in fielding the ball, imme-
diately foresaw that a throw to first
would be fruitless, as Honey had the
hall beaten. He also figured that Grif-
fifth naturally. would round second,
Zim snapped the ball to Friseh at
second and caught Griffith fat-footed.
The Dodger outtieldcr managed to slide
back to the base before trisch could
tag him.
Big Doings in Seventh
Hickman flied out. but Kilduf
slammed out a hit to left that scored
Griffith. This put the teams on even
footing again. The seventh was
period of unconfined hilarity in which
practically all Of the runs were scored.
The Giants began the thing. Chase
lofted to Hickman, after which Con
zaies drew a pass. Barnes whacked
hit past Olson and then the reliable
and efficient George Burns plastercd a
three bagger to centre. The ball sailed
into the outlying territory with so
much velocity that it bounded off the
shins of Hi Myers and rolled on to
while Gonzales and Barnes Tailed,
Young slapped a grounder to Johns
ton, who hurled to Miller to catch
Burns at the plate The throw was
good and Miller had the Giant out
fielder blocked yards from the plate,
but failed to hold the ball. While
Miller was reaching for the pellet
Burns arched himself, extended his
foot and tagged the rubber for an
additional and what proved to be the
winning run.
Fletcher hit to Johnston who again
threw to the plate to catch Young on
his homeward trip. Miller had the
runner further away this time and
chased after him. He was finally run
down, Miller to Kilduf. to Honey to
Olson.
Kilduff started the action in the
Brooklyn half with hit to right.
Miller singled to centre, advancing his
teammate, and Grimes, one of the best
hitting pitchers in the game, earned
himself a tremendous ovation by com
ing through with another hit to right
that scored Kilduff and put Miller on
third. Grimes attempted to stretch the
hit into Il double, but a splendid throw
by Young cut him down at second.
Olson's sacrifice fly let in the Brooklyn
catcher.
Young to the Rescue
In the next inning. with one gone,
Myers singled to right and Honey fol-
lowed with similar drive. Young
again came to the rescue with Won
derful throw that caught Myers yards
off the bag as he attempted to leg it
from FIRST to third on Koney's wallop.
Chase wound up this inning by max
ing a great running catch of Kilduff g
! fly to deep right. Young was playing
y far to his left and the ball was hit up
near the line. Chase scooted back and
with his back to the diamond nailed
the sphere. In the sixth inning the
Peerless One made spectacular bare
hand stab of Frisch's throw to retire
Myers.
1t was in the first half of the eighth
that Grimes was spiked by Frisch as he
covered the bag while konetchy felded q
the new Giants hit.
The Brooklyn reserve force became
so noisy in the seventh inning that
Umpire KLEIN walked over and ordered
the whole batch to depart to the club
house.
