ring ninth inning rallies earned the
Phillies an even break over the pen
nant flying New York Giants this after
noon. The ninth inning rally in the
first game served to tie up the contest
and send the fracas into extra innings,
the Giants winning in the tenth, to Z,
in hectic slugging bee. The last ses-
sion rally in the twilight struggle gave
the Cravath athletes the victory, by
to 2.
Fifteen players were used by each
team in the first game, seven of whom
were pitchers. Rixey started for the
Phils, was succeeded by Meadows, who
turned the rcins over to Belts, who re-

giving George Smith an opportunity to
twirl and lose the game. For the Nc
Grawless Giants Tony started, and was
relieved by Douglas, who was benched
in favor of Barnes.
Hubbell and Nchf were the opposing
twirlers in the second, both going the
full distance, with the eX-Gant having
it over the present Giant.
