game to >, and lost the second to Q. or it would
have shown it had any one been able to see IT.
And the Pittsburg aggregation is still holding on
to second place
McGraw's men began the double header with the
firm intention of knitting the Pirates for two games,
but they failed ''HOnus'' Wagner. This
Pittsburger dealt with the Giants in approved
piratical fashion in the first game and out of four
times at the bat smashed out four hits. including
triple He scored two runs himself. and upon his
shoulders rest the downfall of the CiiandS in
the first game
New York got revenge in the second game. With
Taylor twirling against the mighty Camnitz. they
administered nice little coat of whtewash to the
Pittsburg men. II was fitting close Of the last
home series with the Pirates.
The first game began with Leifeld and Anes
the opposing twirlers. Fittsburg scored run in
the second inning on Wagners triple followed by
a single. In the Giants half three men got home

plate McGraw chased Ames 10 the bench and sent

Leifel3 had also been relieved by Camnitz Nc
Ginnity pitched good ball, but got a little rocky
support in the seventh, when the Pirates added
two moro runs to their score This seemed to take
the heart of the home crew. who had tied the
in their half of the sixth inning, and after
that it all Pittsburg. Browne batted for Nc
tIlnnity IN the elEntn ana NiltSs pltCled the idSt
inning. The Pirates got three singles off him in
the ninth and he helped them along little by
giving pass TO first.
Camnitz thought he could beat the Giants twice
in day and got the chance of being allowed TO
pitch the second game. Taylor did not express his
thoughts In words exactly, but he had the curves
and speed, which about what pitcher needs
anyhow. Incidentally II might he remarked that
Mr.. Taylor had Mr.. Wagner guessing, and the high
salaried shortstop struck out and failed to
get anything that could be even mistaken for
safe hit
Taylor pitched n fine game. He allowed only three
hits. and with the bases full in the fifth inning,
caused Clark TO put up easy fly, retiring
the side.
n the Giants half of the first inning Shannon
walked. AMI went second on Brownies sacriice
He reached third on error and scored on Sey-
mours sacrifice. The last Of the game was
scored IN the third inning Shannon singled, and
went to second Brownies out scoring Sey-
r1ours two-bagger. Thus ii that Shannon and
Seymour the who were the run getting
firm for McGraw and the senior member Of the
firm did all the scoring.
