the gingerless Quakers by a score of
to 0.

The Giants skipped the third, but in
the fourth Nehf knocked his homer into
the right field stand. Artie was the first
Giant to penetrate this home run zone In
I some moons. Early in the season 1t was
the favorite range for McGraw's Differs.
The Giants wasted quite a bit of am
munition in the fifth, two doubles, two
singles. a sacrifice fly and an error net

to centre and Kauff followed with an
other. though Ross only made third.
Young though that Emil Meusel would
