Dan McGann had 3 base hits and 3 RBI and Christy Mathewson delivered 9 solid
innings as the NY (AL) 1905 Giants topped the St.L. (AL) 1922 Browns by a
score of 8 to 2 at the ballpark.
 
NY (AL) 1905 jumped on top to stay in the bottom of the 4th inning with 2 runs
on 2 hits.  Mike Donlin got things going when he reached on an error.  Donlin
then stole second base.  McGann then laced a base-knock.  Sam Mertes was up
next and he slapped a single scoring a run.  NY (AL) 1905 continued their
aggressive style with another stolen base.  George Browne was a strikeout
victim, unable to help out.  One out later, Urban Shocker came up and he was
wild with a pitch scoring the final run of the inning.  NY (AL) 1905 totaled
13 hits on the afternoon.  
 
The victory was credited to Mathewson(2-0) who went the distance, allowing 2
runs. Shocker(0-2) absorbed the loss.  He was touched for 11 hits and 4 walks
in 7 innings.  
 
St.L. (AL) 1922's manager was obviously impressed with the pitching of
Mathewson, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there this afternoon.
We just couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him.  I just
hope that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'

Christy Mathewson went the distance as the NY (AL) 1905 Giants staged a
dramatic comeback over the S.F. 1962 Giants by a score of 4 to 3 at the
ballpark.
 
NY (AL) 1905 came up with the deciding runs in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs
using 3 hits.  Billy Gilbert kicked off the action when he stroked a
base-hit.  Gilbert was safe at second on a stolen base.  Art Devlin then
banged out a single.  NY (AL) 1905 continued their aggressive style with
another stolen base.  After an out was recorded, Billy O'Dell stepped up to
the plate and he let loose a wild pitch plating a run.  Mike Donlin kept
things alive and laced a single giving NY (AL) 1905 the win much to the
delight of the home town crowd.  NY (AL) 1905 won despite being out-hit by
S.F. 1962 9 hits to 6.  
 
The victory went to Mathewson(1-0) who went the distance allowing 3 runs.
O'Dell(0-1) ended up with the loss.  He surrendered 6 hits and 1 walk in 8
and 1/3 innings.  
 
'Now that is what I call fun! I just love baseball, especially games like
this, of course,' NY (AL) 1905's manager offered.  'Everyone at the stadium
had a great time - did you see the fans go wild there at the end?!'
