...they spared themselves the risk of apoplexy in the eighth and ninth. Hubbell walked two men. Myer knocked a hot grounder to Shortstop "Blondy" Ryan. Ryan juggled it and then, without waiting to get hold of the ball, batted it three yards with the flat of his hand to Critz at second base, nailing the runner from first. Next up was old "Goose" Goslin. He whacked the ball against the right-field fence. It was foul by a few feet. He whacked a liner over first base but it streaked smack into Giant-Manager Bill Terry's glove...
...second half of that inning was a half-hour uproar. Critz was on first with one out when Bill Terry lashed a two-bagger into left field, putting Critz on third. Crowder prudently gave Ott a base on balls, to the noisy disgust of the bleachers. Then to the plate shambled a tall, stooped figure-"Lefty" O'Doul.

The Senators got so hot under the collar today that they had to Peel off their coats to keep Kuehl. Manush! they sure are in 'Ott water. The Goose laid the golden egg and kept 'em going strong up to the sixth frame yesterday and it looked as if no one could Crowder off the field, but they sure are Myered now, Enough of this; this is series business. The score: Washington...
...James Carleton, pitching for the Cardinals, did almost as well until the 17th inning when he was taken out for a pinch-hitter. With Haines pitching for St. Louis in the 18th, Moore got a base on balls and scored, with two out, on a single by Second Baseman Critz...
