score OF to 2.
Art Nehf. who started the game, and
Bill Ryan, who finished il when Nehf

befell them were due TO errors behind
them. Eppa Rixey Kept the Giant at
tack to eight widely distributed hits.
Taking the dead in the first inning.
the Giants lost it quickly. for the Reds
took 1t away from them in their half
of the inning. Frisch hit to the
bleachers in the right center for three
bases in the opening round and scored
a moment later when Rixey let go a
wild pitch.
Groh unwittingly gave the Reds o
start toward their scoring in the first
by mussing up play on a sharp
grounder by Burns. : Heinie ran In front
of Bancroft as the latter set himself
for the ball, and though the pellet
landed in his gloved hand he was out
of position for a throw to first base
Thus did Burns get an infield hit
Cunningham caught Daubert's short fly
but Duncan singled to right with hit
and run play on and Burns legged IL
to third. Bohne singled to left. scoring
Burns and sending Duncan to third.

grounder. He went to second on RiXey s
sacrifice and to third on Burns's infield
hit Daubert beat out a bunt down the
