The Giants wound up the series Win
BROOKLYN at Washington Park yesterday,
winning the third straight game by score
Of S to Q. The Superbas suffered an awful
druhbing. and, what is more, Cy Barger,
the pride of the pitching staff. retired from
the game In humiliation after the visitors
had made eight solid drives count for six
runs in the first four innings.
The bitterness of defeat, which the fans
felt keenly, was strained to the breaking
point On Wednesday they were satisfied
to gather around the New York bench and
make cutting remarks after the game, bus
yesterday they laid on the straw which

who sat in a box opposite third base made
Devlin lose his temper. AS the Giants left

York third baseman walked over to the
grandstand and declared war.
A number of blows were struck before
the two men were separated by the players

and 1t looked for a time as though small
sized riot would break up the game.
The regular patrolmen refused to make
any arrest, as the men had been separated
before they arrived and they did not see
an assault committed, while the specials
on the spot neglected to take any action.
Both Devlin and Doyle were ordered to
the clubhouse by the umptres, and the
game proceeded, but the interest Of the
fans" seemed to be in the dressing room,
to which the two players had retreated.
Several hundred persons were waiting out

Shafer filled up the holes in the infield
Previously McGraw bad substituted Snod-

while Schlei had relieved Meyers. For the
last three innings the youngsters played
whirlwind game and showed that they
could be depended on in emergencies.
While the regulars were working they
played a game which swept the Superbas
fairly off their feet. Barser retired in dis
may early in the game, and Wilhelm
pitched Indifferent ball, the Giants making
total Of fourteen hits. Meyers was the
man Of the hour with the stick making
three timely hits out of three times up.
Devore and Doyle also were mighty with
the bat. Although the superbas found
Drucke for ten safe hits, they. were all
scattered, while two fast double plays shut
the team off when it looked the most
dangerous.
In the sixth inning Doyle and MerkIe
pulled off snappy double play, Davidson
being forced out at second while Smith
was thrown out at first. Brooklyn scored
only two runs. Davidson doubled in the
fourth and Tailed on Happy Smiths

The Giants pounded the ball at will, three
singles counting for two runs in the Sec
ond inning, while four hits, an error and
a hit batsman were responsible for four
in the fourth. With the game well in hand
the Giants scored a desultory run here
and there without much effort
