Farce Comedy FolIo7cs Creditdble
First Act bu Boston.

The Giants and the Doves figured in the second
production OF the great comedy entitled Boston
Trying TO Win Game from New York" at the
Polo Grounds yesterday. and the comedians on
both sides gave representation that differed only
in minor details from the highly successful first
performance Wednesday. As the case then
Frank Bowerman's troup gave creditable imita-
ton of baseball team in the first act yesterday.
and the Giants had to gather themselves together
and bat in enough TO win by score Of to
in the eighth inning. The second act saw the
comedy degenerate into old-fashioned farce, and
the Giants by a of u to 3, some one
making home run whenever such measures seemed
necessary to produce run two.

the second game. Wednesday, McCiraw sent
in substitute every time of his colts reminded
him of his existence. FIFTEEN getting into the second
contest. Ames stayed in the box throughout. Nc

Larry Doyle had something of batting car

game. but he was out for revenge in the second
and slammed out smashing hits for a three -bagger
and a home run, both of the ceanest description.
Snodgrass had a home run in the second game,
too. both homers being made with two men on the
bases and TO the spot, right down in the
corner of the field IN deep right centre.
Bugs Raymond and Tuckey had a regular bat
tie in the game Both kept numerous hits
pretty well scattered, but Tuckey weakened a good
deal in the eighth inning, and got pretty yellow
support, At that II the foxy mind OF
John McGraw that really made the New York
rally
Boston was run ahead the result of the
hammer -and-tongs fight up 10 that time. and one
man was out. with OHara on second and Devlin
