GIANTS WIN AND LOSE
DOYLE IN BATTING MOOD
DrircS ont T7rO Home Rms an First
Game 7cith Supcrbds.

Without thought of the pennant which is now
beyond their grasp. the Giants and the Superbas
met at the Polo Grounds, yesterday. not only 10
provide amusement for good sized crowd. but to
settle some old scores. Nothing in the way of a
settlement was accomplished, however, as the
teams broke even in the two games played The
Giants won the first by a score Of TO b. largely
through the efforts of Doyle, who Slammed out TWO
home runs while the Superbas won the second by
score of 10 s. by some sharp hitting and CORE
sondine, amount of loose playing the part OF the
Giants Good baseball and bad were mixed up IN a
way to set the fans cheering one moment ano
grosninz the next but altogether the entertain
mept particularly for one admission, was quite
enough to satisfy as neither team had much TO
gain or lose, no matter what the score read
with the faithful Of Brooklyn added to the faith
ful OF New York the crowd was OF fair propor-
tors and the big anphitheatre did not look so de-
serted and lonely as on Tuesday. There was more
enthusiasm too so that one was able to forget
for the minute that the sere and yellow DAYS OF
baseball have come.
VViItse was on the mound for the Giants IN the
frst game and went along fairly well until the
eighth inning when the Superhas took liking to
his delivery and tied the score with four runs,
forcing NcGraw TO send Ames TO the rescue
Arnes went back for the second game, but proved
erratic and Ineffective discouraged no doubt TO a
1arqe extent by the poor support of his fellows.
Doyle began the scoring for the Giants IN the
third inning and ended it in the ninth After
KK-iItse had walked 10 first in the third Doyle
r;cl,ad ont Z hall to his liking and drove II to the
g.. corner of the field for a circuit of the bases
esn7ino Wiltse home before him. After Seymour
s,,d Snodgrass had been retired Murray beat out
hunt stole second and scored Devlin's single to
left field.
'rhe Giants added two more runs in the ntth in
ming and one in the seventh and appeared to have
+be game safely won as the eighth inning began
with the score of s in their favor, but the
Suner,as had plenty of fight left and managed to
stir I'D some excitement by tieinS the score before
they were retired
MCINTYRE began with single down the right
fouI line and racec to third when Burch followed
with = tvo-bagger over Murray's head. Doyle took
care of Clemeut's fly, but the bases were full when
Jordan walked TO first. The last named was forced
Al second by Hummel but Mcintyre scored and
then AIperman sent two more home with a
screaming three gger to centre. That was the
end of Wiltse, and AmCs, taking his place, gave
I.ennox a free pass. On delayed steal LennoN
started for second and when Doyle dropped the
throw from Ames Alperman scored LennoX was
run down. however, and the inning ended
The Giants were unable to do anything in their
half Of the eighth after disposing Of the Su-
perbas in the ninth Doyle stepped to the plate ana
ended further controversy by driving out his sec
ond home run.
The second game sad exhibition so far as
New York was concerned Errors of omission al
well as errors of commission helped the Superoas
along although in all probability they could have
won without this aid. as they made eleven hits OIL
the delivery Of Ames, Lcnnox and Clement getting
three each.
