Early In their game with the Brooklyns
at the Polo Grounds yesterday the New Yorks
had lead OF three Brooklyn runs staring
them In tho face. but they overcame the lead
In due time and finished ahead switch
OF pitchers from Ames to Mathewson was
necessary to win. The Brooklyns plastered
Amess pitching all over the fats and drove
him from the redoubt in the second inning.

pitching Patsy Donovan informed his men.
but that g where Patsy made bad prog
nostication. Mathewson wasn't the easy
picking Ames had been. The Brooklyns
couldn't score OF the former.

and noise In the game. O'Day's umpirin 9
was good. but both sides growied over de-
cisions and the New Yorks were inclined
to voice their feelings loudly. They played
o strong and uphill game. however. though
the loose pitching OF McIntire and Bell helped
them much. MoIntire was very wild and
endured for only an inning and fraction.
Bell wasn't as wild as Mclntire. but was no
little sure shot In the box and was jolted
freely by the Now York hitters. The locals
had men on bases In every inning. A large
proportion OF New York base runners were
lett, more than should have been. this be-
cause the hitting. while free. was spesmodic.

On the defence the New York inneld was
revenous and ate up all sorts OF chances

Tenney making difflcult plays. Double plays
were touched of every few minutes. more
or less. the New Yorks making three slick
