he tagged Franks and that I'm.
pire KLEIN missed the play. What
impressed me most was Frinchss
daring In trying to score. That Ii.
a mark Of his playing and he ought
to show some more before this
setian ends.
We had two home runs yesterday.
Goose GOslin hit one into the tenn
pOrafy seats behind Pep Young and
Ruclgy Harris hit one over Meusal'a
hea0 among the fans. But the best
hit 0k al was Peck's In that Iainth
inni1g after the Giants had tied
Il up IA the first half. Gee. that
was good one. A hard liner past
LindstrOm. It scored Judge with
the winning run from second base.
Made Giants Helpless.
The Giants were helpless before
Zachary for eight innings and then
they got to him. Wilson'S titneIy
single to right scored Kelly with
the tying run and gave Fred Mar.
berry his chance. I have sid sumo
nice things about Fred. but I am
stumped to say too much about him
now The Giants had Wilson on
second with what might have been
winning run and jackson was At
the plate.
IN that tight place. MarberTy
struck out the Giants ehort1top on
three pitched balls. II takes & lot
Of nerve 70 do that, bat Fred has
plenty of that. He viii be one 81
the stars Of this series.
There II this to be said about
both these games. The Giants are
never licked until the game Ii over.
They proved that yesterday when
they tied II up In the ninth. But
neither are we. Saturday we tied
II up III the ninth, and ran 1t up
to the twelfth. So we must also
he 4 hard club to beat.
Yesterdays victory means lot
to us. We have recovered from
our disappointment over the first
game. Now we feel more certain
than ever that we are going 70
win the series, and be called world
champions ali next year.
This kid Lindstrom u playing .
great game at third base Tor the
Giants, and McGraW Is not likely
to Miss Heinie Groh any. though
handy In tight places. McGraW
SAYS IandstroTn il sure to Be q star
In the big league. but ! think he IL
one right now.
Home Runs Numerous. !.
Home runs are going to be mum.
erous IN this series. Clark Griffith
has had ! hard time getting enough
seats for all the fans who wanted
to zee the games III washington. He
put up circus seats III left field and
/ centeffield. and good long ~
now goes for q home run. The
i Giants got the benefit Of these
seats In the first game We got
1 into the running yesterday.
re we had any stage fright when
/ the series opened, we didn't show i
lagainst Bentley. He started in with
the washington team ana has dc.
valoped into q big fellow and q fine
/ left hand pitcher. In q way II y
too bad he pitched so long in 9
minor league. II he had been with
the Giants all that time. he would
now be all the better Tor It. look
for him to come back against us be
fore this series ends.
4 would not be surprised to see
all seven games played before the
] winner Ii known. There Is really
i very little choice between them
/ Each team ii fast and has good
hard hitters who may come through
1t any moment. The biggest strain
of course, win be on the pitchers
But four pitchers ought to b
enough for q short series like this
land each team has its four.
Spirit Of Teams.
j The. spirit Of the teams could not
be better. I know that all OF oul
/ players feel certain to win and ]
guess the Giants feel just about tht
same way. You know. when 3
team goes through>a hard season
and finally comes out on top, thu
players seem to get an idea thai
they can't lose, 4 they really want
70 win.
That is called ''the old conf
dence." All teams have to hav,
lit to win remnants. Then, wheI
1.-TWO pennant winners are placing
