At Boston, Dolf Luque comes to the aid of the Giants, pitching the last eight innings and knocking in the winning run in the 14th. The Giants shade the Braves, 4 – 3, then tie, 4 – 4, as a curfew ends the duel with two out in the 9th. Ben Cantwell pitches well in game two as all the Giants’ runs are unearned. The Braves draw 40,000 today and 140,000 for the four games with first-place New York, more than they drew the entire season of 1928.
