...need to hit it out of the park. A single will do." O'Doul cracked the next ball into centre field for a single, scoring Critz and Terry, putting the Giants ahead. Another single by Jackson sent Ott home. A bunt by Mancuso, the Giants' slow-waddling catcher, utterly demoralized the infield. When they came to their senses, O'Doul was in with another run.

Last week's fight was really an aftermath of a squabble last summer when Carl Reynolds of the Senators crashed into Yankee Catcher Bill Dickey, got his jaw broken in the fisticuffs that followed.
