and complained to KLEIN that he did not
have all day. Scottie ultimately lined
to Young for that startling shoestring
catch and Young. from a kneeling po-

off second and rip the well known lid
off the stadium.
The Giants were easy outs In their
section of the fifth. Snyder grounded
to the Deacon. Nehf popped to Ward
