Off-Again- On-Again Giants
Win Game On Mickey
Witek's Single

CINCINNATI, Aug. 21.-REThe
off-again, on-again New York
Giants, who seem to function best
with a patched-up lineup, beat the
league leading Cincinnati Reds 54
in an thinning struggle today.
The victory came on Mickey
Witek's rousing single that s e n t
Captain Me OFT scampering home
from second base. That stretched
the young infielder's batting streak
through IL games and gave the
Giants the series over the Reds
two games to one.
The Giants opened the eleventh
with Harry Danning's single, but
he was forced by OFT, on ar at
tempted bunt. OFT however, stole
second-his third theft of tn e
series - and then registered on
Weeks timely blow.
The Reds got away to a 20 lead,
only to have the Giants knot the
count in their half of the seventh
by getting two runs off three OF
the II hits they managed all after
noon. However, the Reds climbed
right back into the van when Bill
Werber smashed out a homerun
with a mate aboard.

lead that never was headed, and
