which let in the tying and winning
runs, robbed the Giants Of victory
over Babe Adams, which already had
been chalked up in the books. The
score was to 5.
1t Is a sad story. Adams has been the
Giants Nemesis all year. has scored a
couple OF shuIouts against them. and
when he was taken out OF the game at
I the end of the fourth inning by George
Gibson, after being battered for four
big runs. the Giants were jubilant- 1t
looked as II they had oVerthrOwn their
jinx for good and all.

frames. He had held the Pirates to
three singles, two OF which came after
two men were out. and was going along
strongly With a five-run lead no one
