BOSTON, Sept. 6.-After tossing of
the first game Of to-day's double
header with the Braves by a score OF
to O, the Giants pulled themselves
together and won the second game by
count of to 0.
In the first game Jess Barnes and
Dana Fillingim were the opposing box
men. Barnes allowed only FIVE hits,
but he let go wild pitch that figured
in the scoring Of the only run needed
by the Braves to win. Fillingim held
the Giants to two hits and they booted
the only chance they had to score.
Art Nehf was in splendid form for
the second game and held the Braves
off with ease. He allowed seven scat
tered hits. Joe Ueschger, on the hill
for Boston, was hit hard most of the
way and the Giants romped away with
the game. A crowd of about $4,000
saw the twin bill.
The Giants got their chance to score
and then blew it in the sixth inning of
the first game, piece of headless base
running by Barnes cumming the works.
after Burns had been retired on the
foul fly which Boeckel had gathered in,
Bancroft singled to left, putting Barnes
on third. Young hoisted fly to Powell
and Barnes, leaving third base before
the catch was made, beat Powell s
throw to Gowdy. The Braves had not
missed the fact that Jess had left the
bag with undue haste and called Um-
pire Bob Hart's attention to it.
The ball was thrown to Boeckel, who
stepped on the sack and Hart called
Barnes out.
Barnes Starts Unsteadiiy
Barnes was unsteady at the start
Of the Braves half of the inning, and
Ford, the first man to face him, tripled
to left. With Fillingim at bat, Jess cut
loose with one that cleared the batter's
head and went to the grandstand, Ford
to Grimes and Powell moved him up
with sacrifice. Boeckel flied and
Burns and Eayrs singled to center, but
Fillingm, who tried to score on this
blow, was halted at the plate on Kings
throw to Smith.
1t was obvious from the start of the
second game that the Giants were too
much for Oeschger and that the Braves
didn't have chance to beat Nehf The
Giants lost no time getting to Oeschger.
Burns singled to left and raced to third
on Bancroft's single to right. Young
was thrown out by Ford, but Burns
scored on the play. Frisch's out put
Bancroft on third, and he scored when
Kelly slammed single to center.
| King opened the second round with a
fly to Ford, but Snyder doubled down
the right field line and King scored.
Frank tried to stretch his hit into a
three bagger, but was cut down at the
far corner. Burns walked to start the
third inning and went all the way to
the plate when Bancroft shot double
between Mann and Powell.
Nehf Checks Rally
The Braves threatened to do some
scoring of their own in the seventh
inning, but Nehf put a check to their
outburst. Cruise, who was first up, beat
! out scratch hit to Grimes, and pro-
ceeded to second when Grimes made a
Wild peg past first. Sullivan walked,
but was forced at second by Wilson,
Cruise reaching third. O'Ncill hit one
back to Nehf, who forced Wilson with a
throw to Bancroft, and Bancroft
whipped the ball to Kelly, doubling up
O'Neill.
BY way OF cllnching the game, the
Giants put another run over the
plate in the eighth inning. Burns
walked and Bancroft beat out tap
past Oeschger. Burns was picked off
second base, but wild pitch put
Bancroft on third a moment later. He
went to third when Young beat out
hit to Boeckel, and scored while
Ford was throwing out Frisch.
