Olson Gets the Air
Barnes, Sallee and Ryan graced the
mound In turn for our Giants, while
Ruether and Smith served them IN for
Robbie. And the downfall of Ruether
was the only bright spot in the
GIANTS setback. They landed on the
soathpaw for four resounding whacks
IN the eighth, tieing the count and shoo-

pathlze with Ivy Olson, who was for
the time being also member of the
down-and-out club.
Ivy, 1t must be explained, was put
out Of the game by Umpire Hart for
being too belligerent. The veteran
shortstop protested vigorously when
his jumps called Frisch safe at second
on a steal in the sixth, and was invited
TO take things easy for the rest of the
afternoon.

Dodgers Are Charitable
The Dodgers very thoughtfully pre-

heaved the ball over Schmandt's head,
Banny taking second. Ruether helped
along with a wild pitch which de-
fected off Miller's glove and rolled
into the dugout, Bancroft scoring.
I'risch walked, but Young singled to
right, and when Griffith played tag
with the ball Fordham Frank raced
home and Young stopped at second.
Ruether was still wild and Young
went to third on another crazy pitch.
a double to left. Ruether stopped the
rally when he speared a liner off
Browns bat and doubled up Kelly.
Barnes held Brooklyn safe for three
innings, but an avalanche of hits &C
counted for four runs in the fourth.
With Griffith out, Wheat singled to
right ard went to third on Myerss sin

rifice fly. KildufP walked, but both
far-fung triple to right. Ruether
scored his battery mate with single

The fifth inning was marked by an
other Dodger tally and the exit of Jess

Robin to farce Barnes in the round.
He tripled and Sallee was wig-wagged
in from the bull pen. Griffith sent
Johnston across the rubber with a sac
rifice fly to Young.
Another Triple for Miller
A pair of triples shook Sallee from
his moorings in the sixth, but he con-
tinued to toss them up. With two

left center. Ruether also got one to
his liking and smashed out another
New York rallied in the eighth and

settle down three Giants dented the
rubber. Burns and Bancroft were easy
outs, but Frisch singled to center and
Young beat out a buht. Kelly then
drove triple to deep left field, scoring
the runners. Brown singled past Kill

Rawlings flied out to Myers.
Both teams failed in the ninth and,
after sailee's injury, Bill Ryan as
sumed the burden for New York in the
tenth. Wheat flied to Brown and My

time had been held hitless, swung one
past Burns's extended glove in left
field. Ray rounded third and Robbie
waved him home. Bancroft's relay was
poor, reaching Smith on high bound,
so that Schmandt was safe.
Kelly reached first in the Giants
half, but was stranded and the game
WAS over.
