IT'S A DOUBLE SWAT.
Giants Run Up Against the Reds
and Find EN- Loaded.

NEW YORK, September 26-The Gin
cinnatis knocked out of the box at the
Polo Grounds yesterday two of New
York's new pitchers and gave the local
club ble-header setback to 1 and )
to (which, with the other results Of the
day, leaves New York but a single point
of margin pennantward.
The pitchers. who proved powerless to
keep down the visitors list of runs, We're
Marquard, the acquisition from the In
dianapolis Club, who was retired from
the box in the fifth inning of the first
game, after five runs had been scored by
Cincinnati, and Durham, whose first work
in the box was Of good quality, but who
soon lost effectiveness and was relieved
in the eighth by Taylor after two more
runs had been scored by the visitors.
New York lost the second game through
inability to connect consecutively with Du-
bees offerings, while McGinnity, pitching
for the locals, was knocked out of the
box in the second inning, when the visit
ors crossed the plate four times. Crandall
pitched out the game. Cincinnati fielded
cleanly and at times brilliantly, while New
York's work in the field was far below
its usual form. The score:

COMMENTS FROM THE
CLEVELAND PAPERS

That Unglauber person is batting
hard now and has cut out the ice
cream habit.
The Nationals showed the strong
est battling lineup they have had
in the field in many day.
Ollie Pickering still sticks to the
red shirt. He claims, however, that
it is not the same one he wore
when with Cleveland.
How such a robber as Mcbride
can walk the streets without being
arrested is something that need! eX-
planning. Can it be that he has
been golden ruled?
Managers Lajoie and Cantillon
had a long visit in front of the
grandstand prior TO the game.
Guess they're fixing it up, re-
marked a rooter to Stovall. "Out
there on the diamond is where we
fix up the games" replied Stovall.
That's where we win or lose
them
Queer how all these Washington
cripples recover when they get to
Cleveland. Cantillon said that
Shipke had a broken finger and
probably would not be in uniform,
yet the former Nap went to third
base when a shift was made IN the
eighth, benching Clymer and send
ing Unglaub to second.
Joe Cantillon was the target for
many remarks from the third-base
bleacherS, but he took them all with
good nature. The 'Rube' band was
out eight strong. all arranged for
the occasion, while there was an
other impromptu band in the grand
stand After the Washington play
erS had been to practice the RUDE
band marched over to the Washing
ton bench and played the Dead
March,
The "Rube" band was in the
way in the second inning. When
Lajoie scored the run that tied the
score the members of the band
hoped onto the field in their
enthusiasm. Sheridan thereupon
stopped the game until they re-
turned to the stand, and Johnson
was thus given chance to re-
cover his equilibrium. But for the
butting in of the rooters the game
might have been sewed up, for 1t
was in that round that the Maps
had any chance at all.
The Maps had a great throwing
bee in the ninth. but it did not
count. First, Hinchman made a
bad peg to first that saved Picker
ing's life. Freeman sacrificed. and
when Mcbride fouled to Stovall
Pickering made a bluff to go to
third. AS Stovall threw, though,
Pick went back to second and con-
sequently failed to take advantage
of Stovall's throw going through
Perring. Again Pick started to third
when he discovered Liebhardt re-
trieving the ball. Back he went
again, only to see Liebhardt's
throw skate along the ground
toward the box. 1t was amusing,
seeing that no one scored.
Walter Johnson is proving every
day that he is one of the greatest
base ball pitchers in the business.
barring no one. He has also been
one of the unfortunate pitchers
unfortunate in the sense of the
word of being with losing club.
Were he with any of the four lead
ing teams he would be the premier
pitcher of the major leagues today.
He pitched an excellent game yes
terday, one that would have done
credit to any man. Just think of
holding the Maps from reaching
first base in eight of the nine in
nings, as well as tanning nine bat
tiers, including Lajoie. Hinchman
three times and Bradley twice. He
never gave a pass and his control
was perfect.

The first important matter discussed
was the right of a player who had sig
nailed for fair catch and then fumbled
it. The final ruling in this matter was
that a player would have the right to
take as many steps as necessary to re-
cover the ball before 1t touched the
ground and could legally take two steps
thereafter The opponents. however.
would have an equal right to the ball. and
while having no right to tackle the player
who had signaled for the catch, he could
be blocked and anybody would have the
right to the ball.
The question of calling time for an in
jured player was discussed, and it was
ruled that even if a player was removed
from he game it should count as one OF
the first three times that a captain can
call time without penalty.
One feature of the forward pass which
was discussed was where the right end
runs around the left end of the lirfe and
instead of being one foot from the line of
scrimmage he is two feet. The rules re-
quire man to be one yard behind the
line to be eligible to receive the ball, be-
cause he Is neither one foot from the
line of scrimmage nor three feet behind
it. The left end is now the only one of
these two players who is eligible to re-
ceive the ball.
An important feature OF the forward
pass was referred to the rules committee
for revision and change after consider
able discussion. 1t referred to the case
where a forward pass is fumbled by the
first man to receive the ball, and is then
touched by a player of his own side in
side the ten-yard line to prevent a touch
back.
A number of questions were asked and
requests for the rules to be made clear.
These were explained and in several in
stances slightly changed.

Refuses to Stop Sunday Ball Playing

BOSION, september 26.-Ine w ar De-
partment has declined to interfere with
Sunday base ball playing at Fort Banks,
in Winthrop, according to letter re-
ceived from the department by a citizen
of Winthrop who wrote President Roose-
welt and the Secretary of War protesting
against the games.
The letter says that as athletic eXer-
cises constitute an important part of the
military training of a soldier and the
state and municipal authorities do not
appear to regard Sunday ball playing as
violation of state or municipal law, it Is
believed the War Department is not called
upon to take any steps toward suppress
ing the games"
