9,905 fans watched an exciting game at Redland Field.  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.'
