GIANTS AND BUGS" WIN
Tenney's Men Hit the Bail, but
Not When Most Needed.
ERRORS HELP BOTH TEAMS
Mattern Discovers to His Sor-
row That New York Men
Can Swing the Bat.

Coyly crcling the paths and crossing the
plate. now by dint Of solid hitting. now by
costly errors the New York Giants wrest-
ed another victory from the Boston Ter
riers at American League Park yesterday
afternoon. The score was 6 10 3. While
EcGraws men earned enough runs To win
the game, they were generously helped 10
two tallics by the visitors, and in order
that their rapacity might not stand out in
too bold relief, the Giants in their turn
graciouslv returned the compliment by
making the Terriers a present of two runs.
Bugs RAYMOND appeared for the sec
ond time on the mound, and rarely has a
pitcher been hit harder but 10 such little
purpose The visitors got 20 him for eleven
sound walops. a triple and two doubles
being numbered in the list and yet they
realized little on their assets With all
their swatting. Raymond woulG have held
them TO one run except To- the misplays
ot his cohorts. In the pinches he rivalled
Matty and pitched such sterling all round
ball that he earned his way into greater
favor than ever among the fans" Bases
On balls. once his hoodoo, were reduced to
= minimum of two, while he struck out
seven batsmon.
There We're times when Fortune smiled
most affably on the New York pitcher
swarthy countenance and never brighter
than IN the sixth frame. With one out,
Miller singled and Goode walked Sweeney
crounded to Bridwell and forced out Goode.
With two on the bags, Butler picked out a
good one and labelled i: 10 right field for
three bases. Sweeney got in line with the
talh however, catching II on the arm. and
50 retired his own side in a painful way
for him.
The hit would have been good for at least
two runs. and in order that the Terriers
might not take the loss too much TO heart
the Giants made ample payment in the sew
cnth There were two ont, Nerkle making
regular Hal Chase play on Mattern's hot
one. which ne speared with one hand.
Clarke then drew a pass. and Devln
throw Tenncys grounder over Merkle' S
lead. Devore iielded the bah outside the
foul lines. If the little fielder had been
somewhere I'm the enylrons Of deep right
the throw 10 thc plate would have been a
beauty. lie failed TO gauge the distance,
and tho BAH sailed to the top Of the grand
stand landing among some of The fans. %
Instead of Clarke being caught with ease,
Doth ne and Tenncy scored. The only
fortunate part Of IT was that the bags were
not all occupied at the time. az the double
error was equal in value TO a home run.
The Giants played a pretty game aside
from this one bad spell. If Tenney had an
idea that McGraw's men couldn't hit south
paws he has been enlightened. They took
TO eattern's curves With even greater cor
diality than TO those of Flaherty on Mon
day. They showed a decided tendency 10
hit the ball in the pinches, none being
more timely than Larry Doyle's in the
sixth, after two singles and sacrifice had
shaped things up for a neat wallop which
Tailed two runs. Twelve hits were made,
EVERY member of the team getting at least
one. except Raymond. who sacrificed on
two of his three times at bat.
Wilson a~aie his first appearance of the
year behind the plate and did well. lie

Of Singles on his own account. Merkle
made "a perfect DELAYED steal in the fourth

one of the most brilliant PLAYS of the
game was made by Snodgrass. With But
