The savage and uncultured Braves
put up quite struggle before they
were counted out in both games. They
were pitchers battles of the type in
which the Giants usually indulge, FIVE
hurlers taking part in each contest.
The Barnes family and Rosy Bill Ryan
worked the frat game for the Polo
Grounders against Rube &arQuard and
a youth named Cooney. In the second
engagement Jack Scott and Carmen
Hill Joined forces against the Braves,
while Watson, Braxton and Tim Nc
Namara did the mound duty for Fred
Mitchell's men.
Jess Barnes pitched shutout ball for
seven innings in the early game, while
his supporting east was battering the
enemy hurlers for seven-run lead.
In the eighth he blew higher than a
vaRrant kite, while the troublesome
tribe from Boston scored four runs.
Bill Ryan came to the rescue, but the
lifeboats were sent out to him in the
ninth when the game was on the verge
of becoming o total wreck. virgil
Barnes had the honor of stavfng of
defeat and saving the family Jewels.
The Braves got fourteen hits while the
storm was raging, and the Giants got
only twelve bingles, but the advantage
In the run column was just enough
to please the customers.
Scott Pounded Hard
In the second contest Jack Scott was
pounded for six runs in the third and
fourth innings. He gave way to Car
men Hill who held the Braves to a
pair of hits and no score at all while
the Clan McGraw was battering away
at Watson and Braxton for the runs
that finally won the game. Five tailles
were earnered from Johnny Watson's
offerings in the fourth, and Lefty"
Braxton was found for the two runs
needed to win the game in the seventh
stanzs.
With Jess Barnes drifting along in
his best style, the Giants piled up what
appeared to be a safe lead in the frst
game They collected their runs IN
pairs. In the first inning double by
Bancroft, an error by Ford, single by
Irish Meusel and double steal gave
George Kelly's fifteenth homer that
scared into the left field bleachers in
the third inning shortly after Frisch
had singled added two more tallies in
the third.
Again in the sixth Richard de Mar
auis heard the melancholy rattle of
base hits, and the Giants grouped four
singles by Kelly, Cunningham, Jess
Barnes and Bancroft for another pair
Of markers. The last New York tally
drifted across in the seventh, but it
took three safe hits and sacrifice
fy to produce this lonely score.
Then the fun began. Boeckel batted
for Rube Marquard in the eighth and
singled. Bancroft messed up Larry
Kopf's grounder, and Jess Barnes
started to waver. Seeing the Giant
hurler ready to topple after pitching
shutout ball for seven innings, the
Braves laid about them with the toma-
hawk in savage style. Cruise singled,
Roser doubled, Barbara singled and
four runs were over the pan, with Jess
Barnes headed for the clubhouse.
Ryan Also Scalped
Rosy Bill Ryan extinguished the riot
In that inning, but in the ninth he, too,
was scalped and carried off the field in
a piteous condition. Singles by Kopf
and Roser, and double by Powell,
pushed two runs across, and Virgil

second. He pitched to one batter,
Barbara, who hit into double play and
ended the game.
Having nearly lost the first prize
package when it was all wrapped up
to take home, the worlds champions
went out and retrieved the late contest
when it appeared to be lost beyond
hope. Jack Scott was bruised for a
trio of tallies in the third inning on
walk. singles by Cruise and Barbara
and double by Powell. In the fourth
the Giant hurler was assaulted for
three more runs and led off the field in
same Powell sent in two of the runs
and the outfielder scored the last tally
himself
There the Braves stopped short,
mainly at the request of Carmen Hill,
late of Indianapolis. They got Just two
small singles for the remainder of the
game while the Clan McGraw opened
up it's batteries and went over the top
of a six-run handicap. The Giants bat
ted around in their half of the fourth
and before Johnny Watson could get
out of the line of FIRE fusillade of
hits that included double by Kelly
and triple by Stengel netted Ave runs.
Lefty" Braxton heard the call to
duty and in the seventh inning he
watched pair of New York runners
take the overland route around the
bases with what proved to be the win
ming runs. A walk to Grch, singles by
Frisch and Meusel and sacrifice fly
by Kelly did the trick.
