players over their Manhattan rivals
this season, and it increased the Flat
bush clans lead in he league standing.
Tho final score was 4 to z. % -
The McGraw outfit showed much i'm
provement over its previous listless
efforts. The addition of Dave Ban
croft, the brilliant shortstop, who
came from the Phillies In exchange for
the veteran. Arthur Fletcher, has un-
doubtedly added strength to the infeld
and the Giants are now expected to
take brace when they return to the
Polo. Grounds to-day to meet Pat
Moran's champion Reds. Bancroft

trips to the plate.
Inability to connect with Rube Mar
guards offerings in the pinches pre-
vented the Giants from tying the score
on several occasions. Although the

managed, with the aid Of errorless sup

With one out in the fourth inning,
Doyle and King singled in succession,
but Lear hit into double play. In
the fifth Snyder singled with one out,

hits during his abbreviated stay in the
box. Three of these were punched in
the second inning and yielded the
Dodgers. two runs. The big right

allow McCarty to bat for him.
The versatile Clarence Mitchell re-
turned to the lineup and performed
creditably in left field. He also treated
himself to couple of hits. Pete Kill
duff was forced to retire from the game
in sliding to third base in the second
inning.
Olson moved over to second base and

latter was also compelled to quit in
the fifth because Of the return of his

to short and McCabe covered second.

Brooklynites are playing winning ball.
