(JP) A rousing single from the bat of Johnny McCarthy gave the New York Giants an 8 to 7 triumph over the Cleveland Indians before 10,000 fans Sunday. McCarthy's single which scored Hank Leiber was the final touch of a strenuous game.

The score was 4 to 0 in favor of the Indians when he left the game, after allowing two hits and fanning two. Ken Keltner, the Indians' rookie thirdbaseman slammed a pair of homers for the Tribe, while Harry Danning collected a four-base smack with two on in sixth to tie the score at seven-all and set the stage for Lelber's double and McCarthys single in the seventh.
