/ As II rolled into the infeld Young
hurled himself over the plate with the
run that sent the Giants to the fore.
Meusel was safe on second. but there he
was left. as Rawlings grounded TO Cut
shaw. All this while the stands We're
In uproar and the Pirates came in with
heads bowed and faces sadness itself.
That rally resulted in the retirement
OF Carlson. One singing walloping. and
all the great work of six previous In
nings had gone for naught In the eighth
the Giants faced Jimmy Zinn, but they
did not face him for long Earl Smith
greeted him with a single through short
ana Nehs laid down a neat sacrifice.
Burns walked and Bancroft walked. fill
Ing the bases. Z.un suddenly cast the
ball away from him as IL II were an in
fernal machine and walked off the field.
II looked as If he had resigned.
Now Comes GIaxner.
Casey Stengel was sent In to run for
Smith. and came Frisch to bat, to be
greeted by Whitley G,azner. a third
right handler Frankie soaked long fly
to Carey and scored Stengel. Now came
the third and last untoward incident In
the play Of the Giants. Young slammed
sharply to Maranvllle. and the Rabbit
missed a play on Bancroft, who out
footed and outwitted the Pirate with
bit OF baseball which the crowd probably
missed.
Young, thinking that Bannie had been
forced. loafed toward first. Had he run
out his chance ne would have got hit.
But 1t did not matter. In the ninth the
Pirates went out in order. Nehf had
them Just where he wanted them. Carey
made Frlsch move and throw with power
TO get him, but Maranvile was soft Tor
Rawlings, and Whltted flied to Young.
The Pirate score in the first inning
was put over with two out. B!gbee
grounded to Kelly to start the game and
Carey was tossed out by Frisch. Mar

Meusel failed 10 start with the ball and
then did not move fast when he did
get under way. and the fly dropped
for o hit That break was bad enough.
but then came another.
Whitted cracked short fly into
centre. Burns. who was playing deep
position. came up like streak and de-
cided to play It for a shoestring catch
and the last out noble attempt. but
the ball dropped safe and then rolled
back for a double. while the Rabbit
scored Cutshaw forced Whitted and
the lone rucus raised by the visitors
was over
The fielding gem Of the game came In
the second Again Bancroft was the
hero. again Grimm was the victim.
Bannie came through with a catch
similar TO that which he made off
Grimm the day before TO save the game.
And perhaps he saved this one too.

enough TO stick out his glove and make

As Schmidt followed with a hit the
catch was q big help. Grimm. walking
TO his dugout shaking his head. stopped
TO tell a friend in the press box that
Bancroft is the greatest in the busi-
ness. ! take my hat off TO him" A
great tribute from one great infielder
to another. Bancroft made another fine
catch OF liner in the next round off
Carey. The score:
