TWO HARD BLOWS FOR NEW YORK
Cincinnati Gave Them a Double Defeat While Chicago Was
 Winning.

when they tackled the Cincinnatis 1T
 a double header at the Polo grounds
 After trimming the, Pittsburgs ant
 making a good showing against tho
 Chicagos the widest dream was ar
 even break in the two games witf
 the Reds. However, as McGraw has
 to make use of some other pitcher!
 than Mathewson and Wiltse ht
 thought 1t a good chance to try then
 out.
 The $11,000 purchase, Rube Mar
 quard, was sent in to twirl in the
 first game. Judged from the returns
 he had nothing that was not easily
 solvable by the Cincinnati batsmen
 and goodness knows they aren't tho
 best in the world. Marquard begar
 most auspiciously by pitching :
 strike for the first ball he delivered
 but before the inning was over a hi
 batsman sand two triples accounted
 for two runs. The Reds were tame until. the fifth, when they made
 three more runs and Marquard Jeff the box.
 He was succeeded by another ex II
 did well for an inning and promised
 better things than the higher priced
 wonder.
 He had bad second inning, and
 it was left to Dummy Taylor to fin
 ish up the calamity Meantime Bot Spade was pitching excellent bal
 against the New Yorks. In the sec. ond game the Reds hammered Nc Ginnity for a good lead, while Dubut had the leaders under subjection all the way. The New Yorks thus un
 expectedly lost both ends of the double header to club ranked as "easy."
 Marquard was greeted with g cheer when he went in. The tall left handler hit Kane, the first man up. Egan went out to Herzog, but Lobert's triple sent Kane home Bescher tripled toward right center and Lobert counted The batter was miserably coached and kept on from third, to run into Bresnahan, waiting with the ball, relayed In by Sey- mour and Herzog. Hoblitzel famed the only Red to be fooled that way |. throwing to bases cut off trouble in the next three innings. The New Yorks had chance in their half of the first with two On bases and none out. But an infield sacrifice was fol- lowed by two short flies to left field and there wasn't any opportunity to get a, run over after all
 In the fifth Marquard blew up for fair. With two out Spade singled. The pitcher used to be a pinch hit ter in the Southern league. Then Kane and Egan each got singles, Spade tallying on Egan's punch. A wild pitch. while Lobert was at the bat let Kane in. Lobert's single brought Egan home with the third run. New York came back with it's only run in the other half of the fifth. With one gone Bridwell sim gled and Devore went in to bat for Marquard. He got a base on balls Penney flied to center, but HerZog's s short hit brought in Bridwell. The next man popped foul to first base and that was all.
 Durham had nice jump on his ball and made a fine beginning. He famed Hoblitzel, Mowrey and Pas kert in succession, Mowrey on three pitched balls. The New Works looked dangerous in the sixth, when Donlin walked and took second on passed ball. Seymour famed and when Devlin hit toward Lobert the shortstop chose to touch out Donlin rof hap fN Hrck mick's double went to waste because although Devlin got to third Brid- we'll flied to left.
 The Reds got busy on Durham in the seventh. With two gone, Kane got a pass and Egan singled to cen ter. Lobert's triple counted for two runs. That was all for the Cincin- antis because Taylor had them in hand for the succeeding two in- nings. The New Works had two men on and two out in the seventh in- ming, but Mike Donlin wasn't hitting in pinches and an infields out was his best offering. In the eighth-a smart double play killed the New York chances and that was all there was to 1t.
 McGinnity had a happy first in- ming in the second game, escaping runless, and the New Yorks in their turn showed an ability to hit Dubuc, although two singles netted nothing in the way of run. In the second came the deluge. Bescher and Hob- litzel singled in turn. Mowrey hit toward Bridwell, whose throw to third didn't get Bescher. The bases were full. McGinnity tried hard to find the plate, but Paskert walked, forcing in Bescher with a rum Mo Lean, who batted for 1000 on the day, singled and brought home two more runs. Dubuc's single scored | Paskert with the fourth run of the day. Seymour after a smart run | captured Bayless's fly and doubled I Mclean of second base.
 Crandall was sent in after that and | except for the fourth inning he got | away unscathed. Then Paskert sim yled and was safe at third on Mo cormick's poor throw in of McLean's second single. He scored on Du- Duc's infield out. There were other chances for the Reds, but a pretty | iouble worked by Seymour and Mer- kle killed one occasion and Mike Donlin's good throw to the plate in he eighth inning nailed a runner here.
