Special Despatch 20 The NEW YoRK HEaAID
CHICAGO, Aug. S.--For six innings
this afternoon the Giants trailed behind
the Cubs, apparently subdued by Speed
Martin and his fast ball. For half
dozen tantalizing rounds the New Yorks
were forced to accept zero after zero
and chagrin, as Chicago outfielders and
infielders cut up didoes. and only two
of the Giants batting efforts went 70 hits.
For six disappointing sessions the New
York contenders looked about as beaten
as any ball team could look. for while
the Giants were being kept at bay the
Cubs were hitting Arthur Nehf with
susto. Single tallies in the first. third
and fourth innings had given to the
Kililfer clan an advantage which seemed
destined TO gain the day.
But along came the seventh. and with
1t victory for the Giants, confusion for
the Cubs and the retreat of Martin. The
Giants hammered Martin for four hits
and as many runs, and then got two
more tallies in the ninth off Sergeant
Jim York of Chateau Thierry. As re-
suit they won by 6 to 3.
As the Dodgers once more had obliged
in Pittsburgh the Giants now find them
selves only two games behind the Pirates.
Tomorrow there will be another game
here and then back to the Polo Grounds
Timely Single by Rawlings.
Chief among the wallops that knocked
Martin from his pedestal was a timely
single by Rawlings which drove in the
first two runs. Second to the Rawlings
slam was q healthy double by Kelly, who
hit In spite of the fact that he received
a floral bat from theatrical company.
That rally same upon Martin like q
bolt out of the blue. Young was re-
sponsible for the initial impetus, for he
started the session with a hit to left.
Kelly made up for two previous futile
efforts with that crash down the right
field foul line for two bases Young
stopped at third and fingered while
Meusel took his base on balls. At this
critical stage Rawlings inserted his sin
gle to centre and drove in two runs.
Snyder continued the attack with a
single to centre and sent Meusel home
with the tally that tied the score. 1t
was Nehf's office to sacrifice, and sacri-
fee he did with extreme neatness, put
ting runners on second and third. Burns
bounded to Kelleher. giving an oppor-
tunity to Rawlings to scamper over the
rubber Bannie's hopper to Hollocher
completed the inning.
With the Brooklyn victory over Pitts
burgh posted on the scoreboard the
Giants decided to make, sure of their
success In the ninth. They fell on York
like ton of dornicks and put over a
couple Of counters. Meusel lined single
to centre and Rawlings drove a hit to
left
Now, set yourself for a 4urprise.
Snyder beat out bunt to York and
filled the bases Umpire Mccormick did
not treat Nehf with any too much con-
sideration in calling him out on strikes
and then Meusel was attacked with Phil
adelphia fever off third and made neat
picking for Killifer.
The inning would have lone down as
blot on New York's game IL Burns had
not saved the situation witt. a single to
centre, scoring Rawlings. Maisel cuffed
the ball about long enough to let Snyder
amble home. too.
Two hits and an infield out brought a
