1t was a see-saw battle from start
to finish and it kept the 5000 rcoters
continually On edge. The Giants had
n three-run lead on two separate and
distinct occasions, but they were un-
able to hold the upper hand for more
than an inning or two. Doyle and
Fletcher were again guilty of msplays
at critical moments.
No less than six pitchers made their
appearance on the mound at various
times during the course of the after
noon, and they were all subjected to a
more or less severe bombardment. The
Dodgers slammed out exactly seventeen
hits and the Giants registered fourteen.
Fletcher and Mitchell led the respective
attacks with four safeties each. The
seven errors played a prominent part
