was most welcome inasmuch as the
upon the Chicago Cubs.
The fact that Irish" Meusel finally
got his old bat swinging at hit-mak-
ing angle is worthy of special COM
ment. There was considerable ques-
ton as to Meusel's first hit, the gen
eral opinion being that Ivan Olson
should have been charged with an
error instead. But there was no doubt
at all about the two other blows
Irish" struck
One home run was added to the long
list Of circuit crashes for the season,
Hy Myers being the lucky individual.
Lucky is right, for Hy hit a little fly
that had just sufficient carry to drop
into the lower right field stand. The
only other extra-base smacks of the
afternoon were delivered by frankie
Frisch and Davie Bancroft, each of
whom made double.
Continues Southpaw Attack
- Following, his custom, Uncle Wilbevt
Robinson launched another southpaw
at the Giants, in the person of Clar-
ence Mitchell, and up until the seventh
inning it looked very much like an
But rordhsm Frisch and couple of
errors gave the Giants an opening
which they seized to battle through to
victory.
The Dodgers tailed the first run of
the game in the third inning. Peterkin
Kilduff singled to left and Miller sac
riticed, Kelly to Rawlings, the latter
covering first. Mitchell hit hot
grounder which went through Ban
croft, and Klduff scored Toney here
upon frightened up and Olson popped to
Rawlings. Frisch tossed out Johnston.
In the fourth Hy Myers inserted his
feeble homer for another Flatbush run.
Practically all the action of the
game was crowded into the sew
enth inning, which Meusel opened
for the Giants with q single to left.
Rawlings grounded sharply to Kilduff,
who tossed to Olson for force-out,
but Ivan dropped the ball. Johnston
made a fine catch of Snyder's low
sailing liner, and doubled Meusel off
second, Rawlings sticking to first.
Toney surprised the assembled popu-
lace by hitting safely to right and
Rawlings sped to third When Grif-
nth fumbled the drive Big Fred set sail
for second and made it.
Mitchell Forces in Run
Burns drew pass, and the bases
We're filled. Bancroft was hit in the
leg by one of Mitchell's side-arm
shoots and limped to first, while Rawl-
ings walked home. Fordham Frisch
was equal to the situation. He landed
on the first bali pitched him for
double to left center, scoring Toney
and Burns and putting Bancroft on
third. 1t was only a wonderful stop
on the part of Hy Myers which pre-
vented Frisch from making at least a
triple out of his wicked smash.
Uncle Robbie at this point sgnfed
that he was satisfied Mitchell had lin
gered around long enough, so Wibert
summoned 80 Itch" Ruether from the
bull pen. Yong promptly beat out

Long George k.lly ended the outburst
with grounder to Johnston.
The Dodgers threw large sized
scare into the Manhattan fans in the
ninth. Johnston flied to Young in
deep right, but Griffith worried pass

ball squarely and for an instant it
looked as though the ball would clear
the right field wall for a homer, but
.Ross Young managed to make the
catch.

Griffith to third. Schmandt singled to
right center, scoring Griffith and put

Brooklyns Lead in Series
The season series between the
Giants and Dodgers now stands to 6

teams will meet at the Polo Grounds
next Tuesday for one game, this being
an open date.
