NEW YORK, October 26.-The Giants
were again the people to-day, when they de-
feated the Brooklyns before 8, 3,321 people II
runs to z, thereby taking the lead in the
series for the worlds championship. It was
bad day for baseball. 1t had rained dur
ing the evening, was very threatening dur.
ing the day. and Old Prob said that it
would rain sure. This affected the attend
ance greatly, and most of those who came
were prepared to be driven away by rain.
The game was played. however. to q finish.
At first it looked as if the Grooms would
not be in it, but they rallied in great shape, and
made the New Workers feel very uncomforta-
BILE for awhile. The hitting of the New Yorks
in the second inning was simply terrific. They
batted Lovett in every direction, and that
young man was retired at as early an hour as
Manager McGunigle could get him out of the
way
IT WAS TOO LATE.
Caruthers was then brought in, but the mis-
chief was already done. DOC" Bushong caught
well. The fielding was remarkably good on
both sides when the wet grounds and weather
were taken into consideration. Crane could
not handle the slippery ball well, and the
ability to hit the ball safely to score. They
reached bases nine times on balls off Crane and
twice off Keefe, who pitched in the last three
innings. The Brooklyns failed to make hit
off the latter. Corkhill again did some fine
fielding. and Connor Ward Richardson and
Smith did good work. Ewing did the best
batting for his side, and his example was well
followed by his COMPANIONS. Foutz did the best
batting for the Grooms. The spectators
ENJOYED THE FUN
hugely and cheered both sides to the echo
Dick Johnston and Sam wise saw the game to-
gether, and there were many baseball stars of
greater or lesser magnitude in the crowd. The
next game will be played in Brooklyn Monday
with Terry and O'Day as the pitchers. Rich
ardson now leads the batting in the series for
New York with batting average of .SS4 Clark
leads Brooklyn with an average of .412. Ward
and Collins have each stolen five bases in the
series.
The Brooklyns were more or rless handicapped
at the most important point, namely, in the
box. Terry, who made the best showing against
the New Yorks, could not be asked to go in
again, and Caruthers did not seem able to hold
his own satisfactorily against the League men.
The choice then was between Lovett and
Hughes, and the former was selected.
hEMEmBEhED LONETT.
The New Yorks well remembered this young
man since last spring, for they had hit him
hard at that time and had no fear of being able
to hit him now. Just what they did with
Lovett is shown by the fact that they pounded
out nine runs in the first two innings. The first
inning was spent by the New Yorks in getting
the range of Lovett's shoots. This had been
accomplished when they started in for their
second turn at the bat, and then they hit the
ball. Such streak of hard hitting is not often
seen, and when Richardson wound up the bonn
bardment with an oyer-the-fence hit for home
run the New York crowd yelled like Indians.
while the Brooklynites had nothing to say.
This, however was the end of the heavy hit
ting. for Lovett settled down somewhat. Still
when the visitors began to pile up the runs and
there was some chance Of their winning the
game, they wisely
TOOK LOvETT OUT
Of the box and put in Caruthers. There was
marked increase in kicking in this game. The
Brooklyns kicked at many decisions, sometimes
justly, but oftener without cause. The field
play was much better than the pitching,
although it was not so sharp as on the day be-
fore. O'Rourke's hit over the center field fence
was one of. the features of the game. 1t went
over on the north of the flag pole and reliable
