homer with the bases full to give
the Giants their first victory OF the
season over the Brooklyn Dodgers

Harry Gumbert's FIVE hit pitch
ing. combined with Young's lusty
blast, gave him his tenth success
of the season, against twelve de-
feats. Jimmy Wasdell's homer IN
the fourth robbed Harry Of a shut
out.
A crow dof 14,271 saw the game

wick. That, brought the total at
tendance for the Dodgers eight
games in Harlem to 243, 753.

three game winning streak. Young's

Seeds and Joe Moore on base. 1t

94th off Dodger pitchers this year.
