But the Giants wouldn't have It
that way. A double victory gave
them the advantage they had been
looking for. It kept another de
feat from twins added to their
column of games lost and until
they have as many thrashing!! ac
credited to th?m as Brooklyn,
they will littvo an advantage.
The Braves put up an exceed
I ingly mushy fight against the
I (Bants and caused one old thn**
Boston leagues captain to declare
that a complete reorganization is
the only thing that can put the
club back In the confidence of th"
fans.
Brooklyn's victory over Phlla

1 ners up. for they need every vie
