Beaten by Dutch Ruether in the
first game. to 2. held without either
hit or run by Leon Cadore for six
innings in the second contest, while
the Dodgers boasted two tallies, it was
an outlook seemingly Of dark despair
which the Giants faced shortly after
five o'clock last evening at the Polo
Grounds. Cadore had faced only
eighteen of McGraw's men, only one
OF whom. Ross Young in the first
round, had reached first base-that
on a pass.
Your Uncle Robbe's big right
handler appeared to be headed toward
brilliant triumph-perhaps no hit,
no run game. But the jinx which has
pursued Cadore in his battles with the
New Yorks was not to be denied any
longer. Never before had Cadore gone
nine innings against the Giants-and
he was not to go the route this timee

earned an even break on the day.
Every development CT that second
contest tended to act as great tonic
for the Giants. They had lost four

Just Had to Win II.
Here was another opportunity for the
Giants to prove their gameness--thelr
ability to overcome big handicaps and
smile in the face of adversely. 1t has
been said tfat the Giants can play
about AS good ball as they have to.
They just had to take that second game
and avert the most sweeping disaster
OF the season Five straight defeats
from the Dodgers would have been a
terrific blow 1t already was bad
enough-but the effect could be softened.
Victory had to come. and it came.
Elated with his great success, revel-
ing in the wild plaudits OF some lO,oU
Brooklyn superenthusiasts who were
among the 5000 onlookers, going under
a big nervous strain Cadore was dealt
his first staggering blow when Bancroft
ashed his two bagger against. the right
field wall Cadore has habit of pitch
ing too fast when he is going particu-
lariy well--and he FASTENED toward his
downfall
without giving himself chance to
regain his poise Cadore shot fast one
TO Young, who had been moved into Sec
ond position in the batting order for the
closing contest. The right fielder sent
the leather into Bert Griffths sector
with tremendous power. 1t carromed
away from the Dodger. and while Ban
croft scored Young, streaking like
creased lightning, darted toward second
and hurtlcd into the bag head first.
Robbie Ignores the Jinx.

Cadore was through, but Robbie ig-
nored that old jinx and tempted fate too
hard Perhaps IL did not matter, for
the pitcher who was to come was not
much more effective against the flood
OF New YorlSs hitherto pent up fury
and energy. As George Kelly sent a
hot groundcr to Schmandt Young started
for the plate and the Dodger decided
20 get his man at the final station.
But Young scooted right back to third
Kelly was on first--the bases were full

roared with the cries of the beseeching
thousands. II was up to lrish Meusei.
While he did not do exactly what was
asked Of him, he sent long sacrifice
Nv TO Hy Myers. which permitted Young
to come In with the tying tally.
Now came Casey Stengel, who had
been driveit out into the cold night py
Charley Ebbets and was nursing a large
grievance against the Squire OF Flat
bush Cadore apparently did not Ike
the looks of Casey and emitted wild
pitch. which put Frisch on third ana
