That break threatened to APP

series when the Giants scored .

frame. The veteran s0uthpaw had
fairly begged for q chance 70 start

hard In practice, satisfying Bucly

the first frame the Giants threat
ened to run aWay with the victory.
Lindstrom was passed, advancing
on Frisch's roller to Harris. Young
Knocked q bounder TO Bluege near
second base and the Griffman tossed

gtrom flew over with the Giants
first run.
Kelly put up q long ny for Nc
Nicely and the Californian leisurely
tossed 1t back, forgetting that Young
could reach second, which he did.
Then Meusel walked and the Griffs
seemed about ready to throw away
all chance Of winning. They were
weak In the head, arms and feet.
Wilson rolled to Harris for the third
death and it was with q grim look
on his face that the Washington
manager came into the dugout.
Goslin and Judge singled in the
second but were stranded. To make
matters worse, sMogridge passed
Barnes and Lindstrom got q single,
but there was no scoring in that
frame. 1t promised to be a dull
game, with the Giants able to put
on steam whenever they wished.
Then came the break. After Mo-
gridge had whitfield, McNeely shot
q single to left and Harris followed
with one TO right, both chip shots
over Landstrum ana Kelly, respec-
lively. Frisch made fast work in
retiring Rice after fumhling his
grounder and Goose Goslin looked
fate IN the face and called her q
liar.
Barnes tried to get one Of his
fast ones across the plate. GOslin
swung nightly and away went

the grand stand behind Pep
Young. IL was 8 home run with
tWO1On and like kids, the Wash
ingtOn players became the fight
ing Griffs then and there.
Resting up one inning. they
leaped upon their rivals again In
the fifth and drove Barnes from
the box with two more runs. Again
McNeeIy and Harris singled, the
Californian showing great speed in
reaching third on Bucky's single to
left. Barnes got so fustered that
he wild-pitched McNeely over the
plate. Goslin slashed q single. past
jackson to left field and Harris
was In.
Meanwhile, feeling the optimism
on the bench, Mogridge was twirI-
ing beautifully. From the first to
the fifth frames just one hit was
made off him. Kelly doubled as a
beginner in the sixth and scored
on couple of infield outs. But
the Griffs were riding along in
front and why should George worryf
Howard Baldwin relieved Barnes
with the sixth and escaped harm
until the eighth, when again the
fighting Griffs went mad, this time
tearing off three hits for two tallys
and cinching the thing. though there
was another thrill left for the big
crowd.
Goslin led off with single to left
and reached third on Meusel's error
following Judges bingle. That boot
IN the garden put Judge on second,
and so Bluege ripped a single to
center, scoring both pals.
MOgridge had the victory
cIincI1ed for him. All he had 60
do was to pitch two more innings
and call it q day. George began
thinking Of this and promptly last
control. He walked Young, Kelly
flied to McNeely, but MeIseI
waited for q walk, which he got.
Harris saw Mogridge issue two
balls to Wilson before yanklng his
veteran southpaw and substituting
Marberry. 1t was excellent Judg-
ment by Harris, though Mogridge
was sorely grieved. 1t must have
perked him UP to find the big crowd
5 in the center.field seats cheering
him on his way, to the clubhouse.
He had made the good fight He
had held the Giants to three hits
IN seven and one.third innings and
was sure to earn q world series vic
tory.
Hack Wilson greeted Marberry
with q rousing two-bagger to the
wall in right, scoring Young. Meusel
made q noble effort to follow him,
