Armistice day was celebrated at the
Polo Grounds yesterday following the
Battle of Cosey Dolan's Stoop, in
which sanguinary struggle Columbia
George Smith, Ralph SINNERS and
John Joseph McGraw were casualties
Even as the lion might crawl into the
same berth with the lamb the Giant
pitchers fraterniZed with the Phila-
delphia pitchers ir the bull pen and
swapped tobacco across the trenches.
In the meantime the Giants took the
Phils over by to f.
1t was Oil Smith who won the ball
game for the Giants with a home run
in the seventh. The Phils were lead
Ing by the score of 4 to 3 at the time
and Jimmy Ring was pitching the
plural of himself around the Giants.
Casey Stengel, who had been kicked
down the back stairs of the Philadel-
phia ball park with the same vehemence
that was shown by Squire Ebbets when
he kicked Casey out of Flatbush came
to the plate with three bats in his hand
and a triple desire for vengeance in his
heart. Casey drove out a healthy
single.
This made 1t "oir' Smiths turn at
bat. Just as "Ol' was leaving the
dugout Mr.. McGraw whispered to him,
Get me a hit, Earl, and I'll reward
you. i tell you what I'll do. if you
bring Stengel home I'll invite you to
the next fight"

the left field Dleachers. This scored
two runs. put the Giants into the
lead and practically ruined the ball
game. for a little later Bancroft
cracked double to center and Jimmy
Ring was sent from the lot.
Jimmy made few snappy remarks
in the sign language to the customers
in the bleachers as he passed out. He
made quite a long speech. employing
the nose and the thumb and fingers of
one hand.
The Giants got Bancroft over in the
first. The Beauty singled and got to

part of this inning Rawlings singled

seeching of Mr.. Joseph Gallagher, the
