The hopes of the Giants to-morrow in the third game on their home diamond at the Polo Grounds dimmed greatly when it was announced after the game to-day that Gus Mancuso, star catcher, had injured a finger while making a catch.
Bill Terry, manager of the Giants, said, "They just beat the hell out of us" when asked to- explain he failure of his team.
In the first inning the Giants went off to a lead. Joe Moore, lead-off man, fanned swinging. Dick Bartell, next up, crashed out a double. Mel Ott poled a good single and Bartell crossed the plate for the initial run of the game amid a burst of cheering.
"Red" Ruffing, however, buckled down to fine twirling and both Jimmy Ripple and John McCarthy were whiffed swinging.
A grand display of fine fielding was flashed by the Giants in both the first and second innings, Dick Bartell coming to the front as hero on both occasions. icem iw
