The game was hard fought from
start to finish, and it reminded the 49,
600 fans of one OF the old.imc battles
between the traditional rivals. South

hooked up in one Of their famous pitch
ing ducls. Both seemed wcllnigh in
vincible until the eleventh, wnen the
former cracked badly and the Giants
proceeded to settle the outcome.
Toncy gave one of his best exhibi-
tions Of the current campaign. He
yielded only four hits, and these were
distributed in as many innings After
the seventh inning he held the home
players hitless. In addition his mates
accorded him fine support.
Terry Shines in Fielding

safeties up to the fatal eleventh, and
no two of these came in any one inn
ing With the exception Of the first
and fifth innings, he also was well sup
ported, particularly on the part of
Terry.

one-run lead in the very first inning

reached first on Terry's error, Young
hit one to Friberg, and the latter tried
to force out Bancroft at second, but

base on balls. Robbie then stole sec
