damage.
New

The
Giants slowly built a lead but then exploded for five runs in the top of the
sixth to put this one away. Rube

favors.

In
yet another battle of future Hall-of-Fame pitchers, Christy
Mathewson (26-10, 2.70) got the win over Cy Young

innings. New York managed to score a run in the top of the ninth to tie the
score at 3-3, and then in the tenth Mathewson singled to start the innings,
advanced to second on a sacrifice, and then scored on a single. Red Murray
