The New York Giants beat the BarOnS yesterday afternoon, but it took their regular lineup and two of the best pitchers in the business to do it. And even at that the majority of MeGraw' S team succeeded in placing in the run column was as small as it could have been- The score was 1 to O.
 The game at West End park yesterday afternoon was a beauty. After the first inning, when a ee-bagger and a sin gle, coming in succession. pushed a man across the rubber the score board might as we'll have been knocked down and split up for kindling wood as far as the Giant Baron contest was concerned. From the second inning straight through the tally sheet showed two rows of choice goose eggs.
 The local fans had the opportunity of watching two of the greatest pitchers in balldom work out Christy Mathewson and .Rube" Marquard, the $11,000 beauty, performed in the box for the Giants and that they did excellent work is attested hy the fact that Molesworth's players secured only two bingles, one off of each of the New York twirlers. Big Chief" Myers, the handsome Indian receiver.
 
 five innings of the game and Admiral Gchley was the catcher who headed off Marquard's twisters.
 While the visiting sharpshooters were the center of interest, by way of their regulations, the work of the Baron twirl- CTS is not to be overlooked. The article of pitching furnished by Lower the Western leaguer, and by ''Moxie' Manuel would have won in nine out of every ten ordinary games. These boys let the heavy hitting Giants down with five hits, four being secured off of Lower in the first five innings while the remaining bingle was registered against Manuel The vis- itors hit "Moxie" safely but once in the four innings pitched by the steady old Baron.
 Other than the work of the pitchers the game was without special feature although the contest was fast and snappy throughout Marcan made two errors for the Barons, but in both instances the fast little second baseman attempted hard chances and had he not been so conscientious the Giants would have reg istered more hits than they did. Devlin, the Giant third baseman, made the other error of the game Molesworth hit slow grounder down the third base line which the New York player threw badly to first.
 The game might have ended differ ently if Lower had not misfgured in his iudgment After he had struck out the first Giants who faced him in the first inning the Baron pitcher evident lv attempted to catch Murray, right fielder, on slow curve. However, as stated, Lower misfigured. Murray waited for the ball to drift across the plate and when it got within striking distance he waded in and everlastingly knocked the stuffing out of the sphere. IT. Xiii ha1 toward score board in deep left center field and when he finally condescended to quit running he had circled the diamond three-fourths of the way It was the opinion of many that Murray failed to touch second base, but Umpire Chest mutt couldn't see it that way and the hit counted. Nobody objected stren uously for the hit was deserving ot tn e three-bag trademark Centerheld- CT Seymour followed with nicely placed single to right field and Murray scored Thereafter there was but lit tie doing in the way of progress toward home. Lower frightened up and the run-getting business was put on the blink.
 But. by the way this same fellow Seymour got three of the total of five hits registered by the Giants. He was 1t bat four times and his last safety was a two- -bagger to center field.
 The Barons had one chance to score in the fourth inning, when, after two men were out, Gygli hit nicely placed two ba gger to center field. McGilvray followed but he could not solve Math- ewsons delivery. He went out on a erounder from second to first.
 The best chance Moley's men had to score, however, came in the ninth in ming. After Boyle had gone out on grounder from pitcher to first, Man uel stepped into one of Marquard's benders and laced out a nice hit to right field The fans brightened up considerably for this was the first hit Marquard had yielded, and it proved to be the last one. Marcan followed Man uel with a grounded to first and forced Manuel out at second, bat landed safe- ly himself on the ielder's choice. Mo1esw orth, next up, drew a free pass and Marcan went to second. A hit would have tied the score but with two men on bases the best Gygli could do was to hit a pop fly to first base and the game was ended.
 Following Is the official score:
