Of the four. The score was 20 3. and
the three Pittsburg runs were all made
in one inning. while The New Torks
bagsed three OF their four taIies in the
last TWO innings They won the game
with a powerful finish In order 70 hold
the Pitts51rgs OF in the second half OF
the ninth Matheyvson was hurried TO the
mound and the three Pittsburg batters
who faced him were put out IN order.
Sudden outbreaks Of scoring and a
tangled. wraugled uix-up over a play IN
the sixth inning were phases OF the strife
which kept the pot boiling Cy Young
lost his grip IN the last two innings and
exploded. after doing WeU Up 70 that time
Taylor pitched seven innings for New
York and was taken out 20 let somebody
hit fr- him 8IcGi1nity pitched the eighth
inning. The PItts5urEs took 10 him kind
y. but he got by without scoring. Nc
Graw, however. did not let him so in the
ninth.
Bunch Hits at Close.
The New Yorzs made one or more
safe5Iss fn every inning. but there was
nothing in the punching line until toward
the last
There vas a mix-up il the second hall
Of the sixth. The first play was neat
pickup by Devlin and the subtection OF
Roy Thomas al f-st base Tommy Leach
was the recipient of four balls. Clarke
ffed 20 Seymour. and then Leach moved
TO second on a wild pitch which hit the
ground n front OF the plate. Wagner was
passed Intentionally. The next batter was
GIL. the new first baseran- He single

which accompanied his hit viii impress
his big league debut on him FOR the rest
5f his baseball career GiUs contribution
was a sharp smash toward DeyIiu. Leach
came racing down for the third bag and
the ball which vas too hot % handle. and
was jumping around him and Devlil and
B-idweIL
DevIin threw OF his glove and started
for the bench. and the other New Workers
came in too This gave the impression

knew whether the run was allowed. tn,

I the air cracked with language.
There were groups around O'Day and

nothing doing in the protest business
