Game 6: vs. Columbus Tigers

The November 8 game against the Columbus Tigers was played in a driving rain which fell continuously throughout the contest, keeping the attendance down to fewer than 4,000 spectators.[5] Although marking the third consecutive National League victory for the expansion Giants, the win came at substantial cost when star halfback Hinkey Haines suffered a broken nose shortly after kickoff, with fears being aired that his injury was so severe that he could be lost for the rest of the season.[5] The Giants drew blood in the opening frame when Jack McBride hit Dutch Hendrian with a 10 yard pass from the Columbus 40, with Hendrian taking the ball the final 30 yards on a gallop through the thick Polo Grounds mud.[5] Columbus missed a 20 yard field goal attempt and later threw a pick from the 10-yard line, thus squandering their two best chances at scoring.[5] The Football Giants added two touchdowns in the fourth, one a 20 yard run by Bill Rooney and the other an interception returned 50 yards for a touchdown by Doc Alexander to finish the 19–0 shutout of the Tigers.[5]
