labor lost. The defeat was chalked
I'D against Ryan. as he started the
frseas and was Withdrawn IN the fourth
inning. The Robins had CLEANED only
three hits In this time, but Rosy

,o-ne one wasn't moving the home plate
plAte around on him, and John Nc
Crs~ decided 20 take no chances with
his ferocious next door neightors.
Two Brooklyn runs were over tae plate
before Ryan retired, and though the
Giants cqualed that enormous total
before the game was over, the Robins
had added a third and highly important
tally, which proved 20 be the winning
margin.
