burgs in their game wit, the Giants is model Of
their work since they came East there is need of
shaking up in the team. The men played in an
Indifferent manner and gave very little satisfaction
They moved about as though in practice and occa-
siOnally allowed balls to 60 by them that should
have been easy plays, This was notably the fact
with Miller, who FOR almost two months has been
trying to cover shortfeld, but has demonstrated
beyond doubt his inability TO do so. Bierbauer
who was expected here yesterday, failed TO come,
though his presence is sadly needed. This does not
appear from glance at the score card, as Berger
got everything near him, but there is lack of con-
hdence In the work of the substitute on second
base. Baldwin pitched well and Mack gave him
good support, but aside from the machine plays
there was nothing in the game.-Nesc Fork 1eye-
