Bentley was the last man around the circuit and by the time he reached “third base a crowd of several thousands fans was waiting for him on the field to escort him home. Giants $140,000 between them but as far as the fans are con- cerned, they earned it, and more, came at an especially appropriate been even in games lost with the Reds, if they dropped the game, and the games lost are the ones that count in these end of the season days.

From the standpoint of the Corbin fans, the playing of the Red Sox was a disappointment, and far from their usual standard. Their push and ‘go get' em" spirit seems to have desert- ed them. The fact that they had ten men left on bases indicates some- thing of how they played. The Besses started things in the second inning when, with two out, Berg made a poor throw of Schroe- der’'s hopper.
