beaten-beforehand team, no matter
where they stand. They and the
Giants, made spirited battle of it..
The Keystone Klan came from four
runs behind and knocked out two
run lead, and the Giants came from
bchind-riaht back at thenl--tied the
score In the seventh inning, ard in
the ninth won battle of shifting
fortunes.
Vigorous hitting, with Nehf, then
Winters, birched from the box, piled
up runs in clusters, both sides doing
it, and Father Knickerboeker and
Father Penn each having a representa-
tive to make a home run. These home
runs were the oft told tale of TO him
that hath That's reasonable, though,
in this case, anyway.
The lads who make the home runs
arc the most apt to make another one,
and Irish Meusel and Cy Williams,
strong by habit with the pestle, each
added TO his home run store with one
more, and each with man or base.
Quick Thinking by Giants
The Giants made q triple play, a curio
of a triple play, of brisk and accurate
throwing. notable for the quick think
ing on the part of the Giants, which
went with the contrastingly slow com
prehension on the part of the Phillies
to grasp an unusual situation--a triple
play, the like of which few, il any, of
us had seen before.
"Pep" Young's iridescent mind
started the triple play, though it is
quite unlikely he foresaw all that was
coming-that would mean a nimble
brain, indeed-and the failure of two
Philly base runners to hold their bases
on an enfield fly" made the triple play
possible. Probably all Young had in
mind was a double play.
The whole thing hinged on the "in-
field fly" Leslie was on first base,
Lee on second, nobody out; second
inning. Smith hit a high fly to short
right. Frisch went out for it, Young
came in for it. Either could have
handled it. If the umpire, under such
circumstances, thinks such ball can
be handled by an infelder, he has the
right to rule it an enfield fly" the
batter then boing automatically out
"The batter's outi" shouted KLEIN,
and he was loud about it, too. Young
it fall to trap,it. All the Quaker base
runners had to do to protect them
selves was to hold their bases; but the
fact that Young handled the ball may
have made them lose siglA of its being
an enfield fly" assuming that they
heard KLEIN yell, which, according to
that ump they admitted they did.
Leslie Wasn't Forced
fer second. Young threw to Bancroft
Groh fired the ball across to Kelly
who touched Leslie. Leslie wasn't
forced off first, and he hadn't been
touched at second by Bancroft, so if
he stayed at second he would have been
safe. He brought his demise on him
self by trying to get back to first
base.
Bancroft's single, Frisch's triple and
Kelly's outfeld fly gave the Giants
their first two runs. Henline's infield
hit, Lees promenade and Leslie's single
gave the Phillies one in the second
Young and Frisch made singles in the
third and Meusel made home run
Young had scored on Frisch's hit.
Fine and propitious, this four-run
lead, until the sixth inning, when the
Phillies found Nehf weakening and
three hits and base on balls drove
him to retirement. Two of the four
runs were batted IN off Jonnard, but
: Nehf put them ON bases.
A nit, q force and Williams's home
run gave the Phillies two runs in the
seventh and put them that many ahead.
Winters was knocked out in the sew
enth and the score tied again. Ban
croft walked, and Young was hit over
the flask pocket. Frisch forced Young
and Bancroft took third. He scored
when Smith muffed Henline's throw to
stop Frisch's steal. Meusel's single
sent in Frisch.
The Giants made only one ait off
Jimmy Ring, but that one, followed as
it was with an error by Ring himself
beat the phillies. Frisch hit the only
safety off Ring. He doubted in the
ninth with one out. Kelly struck out
(. and Ring, who had a good supply OF
stuff, had two strikes on Meusel. Meu-
sci hit sharply along the first-base line
and Leslie, back of the bag, made a
splendid stop. Ring covered the bag
and dropped the throw and Frisch
scored from second.
