yesterday that they well worthy OF their name
for in the presence of thirty thousand spec
tators they defeated Brooklyn twice winning the
first game to l and the second 4 to g. The re-
markable feature of the play was the pitching of

credit, McGtnnity. 'Mugsy" McGraw and the whole

the local club fell off bit. But the Giants won.
and this is all the fans care to hear.
1t was suggested after the games that the name
OF the grounds should be changed from the Polo
Grounds to ''McGirnityville." Hours before the
first game was scheduled to be played spectators
began to arrive and when the first game called

The Brooklyn team first up the bat in the
opening inning and made things look lively by MAX
