Until the eighth inning the Giants
were spellbound and hopeless under
the steaming fire of Speed Martin,
the Cub pitcher. For SIX innings they
rose and fell in one wo-threc order,
either striking out or rolling the ball
weakly TO some inielder.
In seven innings only twenty two
batters faced Mr. speed Martin and
but Two of these, Johnny RAWLINGS
and Frank Frisch, were able to con-
meet with hits. Johnny pasted out a
nice single in the third and the Ford
ham Flash repeated the stunt in the
seventh, but neither blow meant any
thing
Field in Brilliant Style
For seven innings the Chicago Cubs
played as fashy ball IN The field as
was ever shown by the old Tinker~to-
Evers-to-C Chance combination. They
telded so Well that they may have
dazed speed Martin and helped him
to blow up with a rcsounding crash
IN the eighth inning
When the eighth rolled around there
was enough gloom hanging over Coo
CANS granite uplands to last through
an entire major league season. The
Cubs had the Giants clamped down
under a 3-to-0 score and Martin was
knocking off the local batters like Mrs.
'Toots" Randall smashing row of
clay pigeons Every time a New York
bat connected with q ball it splashed
INTO waiting Chicago mitt.
ne only local rally prior 20 the
eighth came in the third inning, and
was blooming brightly when it was
suddenly choked off by a lucky triple
play. Rawlings singled and moved to
second, when Earl Smith walked. Then
Arthur Nehf, with two strikes and
three balls on him. smashed a low liner
toward right which Zebulon Terry lust
managed to spear. He tossed to
Hollocher, doubling Rawlings off sec
ond and the little blond shortstop
walked down toward first and handed
the pill to Grimes before the dazed
Smith could start the return Journey
TO the bag.
The whole play was over in some
.tning less than a t. ice. and it crushed
the budding hopes of the fans in short
order
Kelly Starts Jubilee
Long George Kelly, who had been
IN comatose state most of the after
noon, opened the eighth with a seeth-
ing single over nollocher's dome.
"lrisn' Neusel sent George to third

shattered in the third inning began
TO bloom again
Kelly scored the first Giant run Of
the game, when Casey Stengel. batting
for Rawlings, was thrown out by
Terry. Irish cantared to third. which
set the stage for one of the most
i!melJ stunts Mr. Earl Smith. Giant
catcher, ever pulled in all his base
ball career. Earl looked over couple

After Nehf had flied out, Bill Gun

stop and the brick-topped outfelder
