The last slxirmish was the most
feverish of the three. 1T was pune
tuated by raucous squawks raised
against the Jumps" by the Giants and
by the shrill battle cries Of the hardy
riders of the B. r. T. Charles H.
Ebbets. the sturdy Squire of Flatbush,
led the triumphant yeomanry of Pros
pect Park back across the Brooklyn
Bridge.
The ninth inning drive Of the Giants
furnished more thrills than have been
present at the Polish Grounds for
many a moon. The score stood to /
for the Dodgers. The good old Squire
of Flatbush had gone under the cata-
combs to watch Harry NJ. Stevens in
the interesting and absorbing task of
checking up the profits on the pea
nuts. Wilbert Robinson was taking
his ease in the dugout and listening to
the weird but familiar cries Of Hughey
Jennings. The customers were edging
hut toward the elevated station.
"Oir' Smith slapped one down to
Andy High, who fumbled the pill.
Bill Cunningham went in to bat for
Cecil Algernon >Causey. who had been
hurled into the breach when Fred Toney
was trucked off the lineup to let In a
pinch hitter. William got a single.
Bancroft lifted Fly to short center.
Both Johnston and Myers started after
it and each refusal to yield to the other.
There was hollow detonation as their
heads came together and the ball rolled
free. Bancroft was safe and the bases
were full with the Giants in strategic
positions.
Hughey Jennings began to tear up
the grass at third base and his cries
became SO shrill that they penetrated
to the spot where Squire Ebbets was
watching the baling Of the greenbacks
by Harry Stevens's bill balers. "A most
unseemly noise,' observed the Squire.
at breaks is on ones more serious
meditations."
That MeuseI Homer.
Rawlings lifted a sacrifice fly and
Smith scored. The customers halted
abruptly and the exits became clogged.
Frisch was out on a liner to Myers,
but the crowds fingered as Irish
Meusel came up. The Giant left fielder
drove the ball into the left field bleach
ers and hats began to fly through the
air. Hearing the noise. Squire Ebbets
dashed out from the catacombs.
The crash of the bat against the base
ball was so vehement that Wilbert Rob-
inson's belt parted near the buckle. He
attempted to crawl to the edge )f ihe
dugout to shout encouragement to his
men. but the accident prevented him
from moving. "A belt" he cried. "A
months salary for belt"
Every man in the dugout offered him
one. But all of them were furlongs
short.
II looked as though the carnage would
continue. Young singled to right and
Long George Kelly came to bat. Long
George seems still in the throes of a
batting slump. He merely slapped one
down to Andy High. This time High
made the stop and the throw to first.
The drive ended as the ball beat Long
George to the bag.
Squire Ebbets moppod a steaming
brow and hurried back 'to the shadows
of the catacombs to watch the count
completed. Things were not going so
we'll with Uncle wilbert. The faithful
Dodgers were piecing the combined belts
of the ball club together In order that
their manager might not be subjected to
the humiliation OF leaving the field un-
belted. At this point Henry Fabian did
a generous deed. despite his sorrow over
the rout of the giants. He lent the
Dodgers one Of the pennant cables. which
was firmly fastened around the middle Of
the Brooklyn manager. The day was
saved.
Giants First to Score.
The Giants got a run In the first
inning. Bancroft, first up. bounced the
pellet right over Grimes's head and
went to second when Rawlings was
thrown out. frankie Frisch singled to
right field, scoring Bancroft. This one
run looked fairly large and formidable,
as Fred Toney. onsthe mound for the
Giants, was perspiring freely. When
Frederick perspires he frequently wins
ball games.
The fourth inning brought some shrill
squawks from the Giant contingent
and when the Giants squawk In chorus
Il is some sangerbund. The stage for
the suuawk was set in this fashion,
Long George Kelly singled and went
to third on a single by Stengel. who
got a rush of ambition to the bean and
tried to get further than first.
Casey was trapped.
"Oir" Smith was passed purposely to
get at Toney who would be considered
a mere obstruction IL he did get on the
bases. AS Toney stood. being called
out on strikes. Smith started to steal
He was run down and nipped as Toney
was called out. In the meantime Long
George had started for home
Umpire Moran ruled that Smith was
out before Kelly reached the platter:
therefore, with three out. the run be-
came null and void or something quite
as futile. Then the Giants gathered
and suuawked with vim and vehemence.
Nothing came of the squawks but a
touch of hoarseness.
In the sixth inning Johnston struck
the blow that laid Fred Toney low and
caused his winning perspiration to con-
geal until every bead of moisture on his
brow became even as an icicle. With
Grimes out High got base on balls.
Then Johnston hoisted the ball into the
rightfield bleachers for home run,
sending High In ahead OF him.
Cecil Algernon Causey went In to
