| GIANTS ARE NOW ONLY A GAME AND A HALF BEHIND Giants Win Seven in Row, Beating Windy City Boys In Spite of Poor Pitching Fans Encouraged More Than Ever by Manner Team Defeated the Cubs.

So the Cubs went down in defeat for the seood time, 8 to 7, and the| Giants recorded their seventh succes- sive victory while the Pirates were | losing to the Dodgers. The victory placed the Giants within one and one- | half games of the lead, which is a| heartening thing. But even more en- | couraging was the playing that led up! to it. Whatever doubts anyone ever had | about the fighting quality of th Giants, and there have been times when one hardly suspected it could exist, were entirely dissipated yes- | terday. Fred Toney had not been in the box two minutes before a single by Flack and a home run by Hollo- oher had given the visitors two runs. | Good fielding prevented further scor- | ing in that frame and during the | Giants’ half of the same inning they | took advantage of Freeman's wild- | mess, which filled the bases, to score | three runs, Meusol's two-bhagger driv- ing in two of them, Freeman was taken out in the sec- ond, when, although the Giants filled the bases, Perey Jones prevented | them from scoring. ‘Toney continued going bad in the third, when four Singles resulted in three runs, and he was gent to the showers to be re- placed by Sullee. The Giants kept on trailing through the sixth, trying hard to fathom Jones's curves, and in that frame, after the Cubs had Anoreased their lead by another run, Meusel led with a ghile to left, took second as Snyder walked and’ third when Cunningham, bait lee, beat out a bit to short lifted a sneritice to left, scoring J sel, and then Bancroft’ with a singie to left scored Snyder from second Meusel, whose batting featured the , Started the seventh after to centre by tripling to Rawlings’s double to lett scored him, Jim York took Jones's |place. He hit Snyder with a pitched ball and gave up a single to left to Cunningham, the blow scoring Raw- lings and placing the Giants one run in the lead.

That, too, has been heralded. No one gave them more than a grudging outside chance a | week ago, when they we seven and Jone-half games behind and the league leaders to play.
