BASEBALL CHAT.

Every Giant in uniform yesterday
pull that concluding game with Cincin-
natl out Of the fire. But 1t awaited not,
although the "Weinerwursts' had a
wide variety of fits at the demon-like
Garrison finish that Capt Ward and his
men made in the ninth inning. The New
Yorks got the tie run In all right, when
Rusie crossed the plate on his hit, which
stood for q blocked ball. but Umpire Gaff-
ney scratched that run off when he or
dered Rusie back TO third on the ground
of interference by New York with the
throw OF Parrott to Murphy. 1t is such
hairspring margins that make 1t hard to
lose games. New York still retains third
place to-day, as Philadelphia very &C.
commodatingly dropped a game to st.
Louis.
Pittsburg Is the pivot Oh which the
Giants will swing more solidly into
third place or swing out OF it altogether.
The first game Of this series is played
this afternoon in Sootburg. II New York
falls before the sooty students there is
the comforting reflection that Phlladel-
can handle in looking after Cleveland.
Pittsburg walloped Baltimore two out
of three games. New York, II she can
do that trick to the Pirates, win return
hold mighty close to the 600 per centage
mark.
Why Is it, every time that young Wes-
tervelt meets streak OF hitting Capt
Ward yanks him out of the box? join
has said he doesn't feel confident with
Westervelt in. He doesn't let the young
fellow take the bit in his teeth and run
the race far enough. That's all.
Brooklyn has lost so steadily of late
and to such clubs as Louisville, which
made II three straight yesterday. that
President Byrne rises to explain. Oh
NO; not how Brooklyn manages to lose
Yorks on their Western trip. Nonsense
President Byrne. Luck has gone hand
in hand with aggressive, brilliant bal
playing on the New York's part. Thai
