The indomitable New York Giants topped the Cincinnati Reds by the slimmest of margins, 6 to 5. New York took the lead off Rube Benton in the first inning plating one baserunner on 2 base hits. After an out was recorded, Larry Doyle delivered a base-hit, and an error was also committed. Beals Becker followed next and he hit a single scoring the run. Cincinnati threatened in the 9th but New York was able to put down the rally. Rube Marquard(21-5) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory. Doc Crandall got the save, his 4th. Benton(10-14) was hit with the loss. He got hammered, allowing 12 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings. John McGraw was in a talkative mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we could win all of the close ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not going to happen, I think I'll savor this one for a little while.'
