...Senator had yet hit one of Hubbell's pitches squarely by the seventh inning when a few confident Giant fans started home. By so doing 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...

Then Dibrell Williams, new Philadelphia shortstop, made a single that sent Dykes to third. Grove struck out and Dykes was thrown out when Bishop hit a weak grounder. The next man up, George ("Mule") Haas, knocked a double into left field that scored one run and left two on base. Young Paul Derringer mopped his face with a handkerchief. The stands were so quiet that when a man in the grandstand coughed, the Philadelphia coach at first base...
