unfortunate incident that really con-
stituted the we'll known break of
the game"
This occurred in the second inning
after the fans had settled back for
the pitchers battle which seemed in
prospect between Fred Marberry and
Hugh McQuillan. Bill Terry, the
weak wand wielder whose homer

prominently in the initial triumph of

the Washington infield is noted. when
he heaved to his boss. one of the best
pivot men the game ever produced
but Bucky dropped the ball and the
Giants took advantage OF the open
markers which represented the mar
gin by which they triumphed. It's
true that Bluege's throw was none
too good. coming to Harris far below
the chest high mark, where balls
must come to be handled to the best
advantage on plays Of that character
but it was an out-and-out error for
all that and led to the erection of a
hurdle that the visiting entry could
not Surmount.
Evil Is Done.

McQuillan and Lindstrom and the
pinking of Frisch had loaded the
bases. but the evil was done.
With these two tainted tallies in
their possession. the Giants never
were headed. They added another in
the following frame, Marberry's last.
when Kelly scored following his Tex

George to third, and they tackled on
still another in the following frame,
when the home run phase of the cur
rent set of games and the uncertain
ty of base ball both were emphasized.
Rosy Bill Ryan, successor of McQuil-
Ian on the slab, was the proud pro-
ducer of this round-trip tap, and it
was real one. too, sailing lar up
into the top tier of the grandstand.
Bill has been a member of the Giants,
as sub or regular. for seven seasons,
and 1t was the first wallop for the cir

Ryan Ties Record.
