JoAnscn's turn to appear for the
second time III the series.
Among the fighting Griffmen ii
seems to- be generally thought that
JQhnson will be even more effective
on his second trial than he was
an the first. Barney lost his first
long NY balls falling into the
tbleaehers in LETT field. He Tanned
an even dozen Of the Giants. one
Tor each inning Of the game. Az
NO time did he look weak.
