Giants Were Pigmies Before the
Senatorial Band.
PLAYED ALL AROUND TIE VISITORS
MccauIey's Home Run That Tied
the Score.
YOUNG BLOOD TO THE FRONT

Young McJames tossed the sphere for the
home team in yesterdays game with the
New Yorks, and his maiden effort in the
leegue was certainly deserving of laurel
wreath from the hands Of the King of
Greece. Not only did the lad manipulate
an original aggregation Of serpentine
twists, but he cracked out singles nearly
every time he had a turn at the plate. In
fact, 1t was red-letter day for the young
blood McCauley, Rogers and De Montre-
vile also being decidedly IN the game.
OF course, the attendance did not compare
with that of the opening day, bu. neverthe-
less there were in the neignborhood of A.
Geo persons on the grounds when the game
began. 1t was, too, ladies' day, and the
fair fans" were all there, and did not
seem to object to coatless throngs on the
oren seats and in the southern portion of
the stand.
Up to the sixth inning everything just
scrt of glided in the direction of that small
town across the river from Brooklyn. Do
heny, he of Vermont, who pitched one
game here for New York last September
was in the box with Farrell as backstop,
when the ceremonies began, and Brown
Joyce and Abbey were disposed of Elm,
zwd, drei.
Then Gleason reached first on high
throw by McJames. Joyce caught the fever
ard when Herman sent one Bill should
have handled two Giants were on bases.
Ccnnaughton propelled a two-basger mer-
rily over the center-field turf, and two
runs were chalked up for New York. Van
Haltren promptly hit to left, and the rec
ord was increased from duo to trio. A
neat double play. Cartwright to Rogers
and return. ended the inning.
Washington warmed up little in the
second. Selbach and Cartwright waited for
balls, and on an accommodating wild pitch
the former scored, and Ed took station at
third: McCauley hit to left, and Cart
wright passed in. Two runs.
New York saw the ante in the third in
Tiernan's hit to left, Connaughton's sir gle
to right, an out at first by Van Haltren
and Stafford's hit 20 center. In the fourth
they reaped in another On Gleasons three
Dagger to right and wild pitch.
Farrell Retired.
Farrell retired in favor Of Zearfoss at
the opening of the fifth, and Washington
celebrated the change by sending De Mon
treville around the circuit, as result of
his two Dagger, assisted by a corking hit
down the third base lire, contributed by
Pitcher McJames.
Up to this point things had been 4 little
one-sided, SO Washington, after a discus
sion of the situation, prior to the sixth in
ming, decided to tie the score. This was
accomplished in the following manner to
wit:
Tied by a Home Run.
Selbach waited again for four balls and
rode around to third on a bounder actu-
ated by Mr.. Cartwright. McCauiey abided
the time patiently until good thing came
his way, and then pushed 1t along with 4
bound into the bleachers, and the multi
tude proclaimed it's joy with much tumult,
as three runs were Tailed, and, inciden tally,
the score tied. The good work continued
right along then till the end.
In the midst of the seventh Lester Ger
.nan relieved Doheny in the box, but Earl
Wagner's students proved just as good N
translating German English, and two
runs were scored, followed by one in the
eighth and in the ninth, several pretty
plays being in evidence.
The visitors did nothing in the way of
run getting after the fourth inning.
AS the Giants left the park a crowd of
youngsters, claiming to be the Young Hy-
eras of New Jersey avenue, followed the
bus and sarcas.ica!ly invited TWINS men
to engage In a game Sunday in Swami
poodle, emphasizing the Invitation with the
chorus: I've wouldn't do a ting to youse
stiffs, oh, no."
The score of yesterdays game follows:
