By Bozeman Bulger. HE benching of Jack Murray and the substitution of Snod- grass in right fleld was intend- ed as a move to lift the Giants from a chronic hitting slump, but the bene- fita thereof bobbed up in @ most un- expected quarter. It was a fielding and throwing stunt of the Californian that saved the day and sent a eor- rowing crowd of some 1,600 across the Bridge for reflection. Not a single eafe blow could Snodgrass deliver, but that fielding stunt—well, one more like it and they'll have @ cigar named after him before June. In the sixth inning, with one out, the Dodgers had Daubert on first base and one run needed to win, Wheat, the next man, got hold of one of Matty’s curves and slammed it in a southeasterly direction and at a height that looked aa if the ball would go over the grandstand, Snodgrass ran back to the right fleld wall, where he could see that the ball had been stopped by the wind and by a close shave would fall inside the grounds. If he played it off the concrete wall a two bagger was practically certain and Daubert would score.
