PASSES HELP GIANTS
THINNING RUN FORCED IN.
Cincinnati Reds Lose Game They
Night Hare Won.

The Giants accomplished yesterday what most
New Workers. had ceased TO hope Tor. They en-
gagged the Cincinnati Reds in a inning battle
the Polo Grounds. and beat them by score of
? to J before darkness descended. while the SU-
perbas came TO life over In Brooklyn and gave the
Pirates awful beating. The news from Brook
lyn, relayed with unusual speed, added to the joy
Of fair sized crowd. Three straight over Gin
cinnati was also something to crow about.
Otis Crandall pitched the full seven innings for
the Giants. and had the redoubtabe Fromme for
an opponent Crandau didn't distinguish himself
much although he did get out of a hole in the
third inning that pretty deep. In point of fact
the Giants owed their victory much to stupid
play by the Reds and a generous outburst of free
passes by Fromme in the fourth inning to their
good work. Hits were none too plentiful

lar buzz Of talk about that popular thespian yes

The first excitement of the game came in the
third inning. when Mclean, the Cincinnati catcher.
drove liner square into the left field beachers for
a home run Downey singled through BrdweH
the ball being too hard handle. and went along
to second on Fromme's sacrifice. Bescher sent
single over second base. but Downey was held at
third by O'Hara-s fine throw Crandal tried to
catch Bescher mapping. and Tenney dropped the
throw. Dovney sprinted for home, and Bescher
fell on :he ball. preventing Tenney from picking II
up RigIer seemed to think the run should count
