of 8 to 6. About eighteen thousand
The spirit and performance of the
Giants in winning a game on which
first place depended were commendable
and highly relished by the fans, an
augpry that they will stay first, as the
fans think. A seven-run rally in the
fifth inning, after the Cardinals had
broken away with lead of three runs,
won the game, and was as smartly de-
vised, directed and carried out as any
thing of its kind in an age.
Hugh Jennings. presumably, was the
master mind of the assault. since Nc
Graw was away and Jennings is boss
pro TEN. Hughey cut up a lot of
didoes while it was going on. The
whole Giant team was in the fat haul
one way or another, with the afore-
mentioned squeeze play and base run
ming of Frisch the strokes which were
the real breaks of the rally.
Fred Toney furnished walk in the
parade, and really started it; Bancroft,
Rawlings and Frisch made hits, Meusel
drove out sacrifice fly, Young, Stengel
and Snyder made hits and Kelly made
Stock boot the ball, SO that the attack
in force was real team affair. The
hit oy Rawlings was exceedingly psy
rally.
No Runs to Spare
The Giants needed all those seven
runs, as we'll as two strays they picked
up, for. though the bats of the Cardi-
nails may be stilled for time, they
merely siumber. They awoke in the
last two innings to the extent of FIVE
runs, leaving the Giants only one to
the good. and the tying run on base at
the windup. They put on q few mob
scenes around the plate themselves
three tallies in the first, four in the
ninth-and were dangerous as wounded
wolves
Bill Doak had the Giants all tangled
up for time They were slaves to his
slow one. 1t made the home hitters
look foolish, but he became so enam-

The Giants, seeing so much of it. in
due time timed it, and then of course
IL lost its cunning. 1t wasn't suffi-
ciently seasoned with the splitter and
the fast one. Fred Toney steadied
wonderfully well after poor start and
survived a hard assault in the ninth
inning by retaining his poise during
that squally finish.
Toney passed Flack and Smith in the
first inning, and following single by
Hornsby. fly by Mueller and single by
Fournier were good for three runs. Pep
Young served notice Of no cinch on
Doak by hitting home run into the
corner Of the left field stand in the
second inning. The ball fell safe by
the width Of Bill Klem's pudgy fingers.
Snyder had been retired in the fifth
when the punitive expedition was
walked. AS he left the plate he stopped

Get me seven runs and I'll win," or
something like that. Bancroft took
heed and singled. Rawlings drove a
two-bagger over Stock and scored
Toney. This was timely hit. for it
put the Giants squarely in the game.
Scores on Squeeze Play
Frisch bunted for squeeze on a
slow one. The Giants seldom use the
squeeze, so this one was most unex-
pected. Doak slipped as he tried to
field the ball and made an inept throw
home to get Bancroft. Rawlings went
to third on the play, and Meusel's fly
to Flack. caught against the wall,
scored Rawlings.
Young singled to right. Between the
wall and the grass Flack had trouble
some time out there. He missed
Young's grasser. and Frisch. with a
and streaked for home. Hornsby took
the throw from Flack and hurried it
along to Clemons, but it was futile as
opposed to the flying Frisch. The grass
didn't grow under Young's feet, either,
and he went to second in the excite
ment
Kelly's shary drive to Stock was
booted, and Stengel lined a two-bagger
to the right field wall. Flack had an
other bout with the concrete, and again
the concrete won. With the ball richo-
chetting off the rampant, Kelly, run
ming fast and beating a relay from
Fournier, followed Young home. Sny-
ders single scored Stengel.
Snyders double, Toney's single and q
sacrifice fly by Bancroft gave the cham
pions tally in the eighth. A handy
run TO have around the house that one,
for the volcanic Cardinals, muttering
and rumbling broke cut in the eighth
and ninth with six base hits. A base
on balls and three hits erupted in
the ninth with two out. Hornsby bat
ted in two of the runs. He was on
base when Mueller rolled to Rawlings
for the last out.

around the midway.
Frisch worked up grievance at be-

The language he used, as it smote
nearby ears in the stand, was pretty
raw.
