treacherous wind which caused each of the Baron outfelders to mis- judge three fly balls gave victory to the New York Giants yesterday aft ernoon.
 While the victory is the whole ker- nel in the nut, the Barons have the satisfaction that in addition to throw ing a scare into the ranks of McGraw, they got the bulk of the hits and the advantage in the fielding.
 The score of the game was to G., the Giants putting the seventh across in the ninth inning.
 The star hitter of the game was Me Bride, who, in five times at hat, smashed out four singles and a home run. Doyle ran him close for honors drawing in his five times al bat a double, triple, two singles and a base on balls. The fielding honors go 10 Ellam, Phelan and Wiltse. Each of the Barons made sen sational single handed stops of fierce ly swatted balls, and the Giant side wheeler, by marvellous dexterity in fielding bunts in the seventh inning cut off several Baron runs-one at the plate.
 Mathewson Was Easy
 During the afternoon the Barons walloped the benders of Mathewson and Wiltse to the four corners of the lot, although the two great fingers famed 10 men-five each. Of the two, Math- ewson was the easier of solution, the Barons touching him gently for eight hits in five innings, one of which, off the bat of Mcbride, screaming several feet above shortstop, continued it's progress to the fence.
 Wagner would have fared well in the four innings he pitched but for the misjudgment of fly balls by Me Bride in the first, Molesworth in the second and Yantz in the fourth inning. Had these fly balls been caught the visitors would have scored but three and not six runs in the first four tn- nings of the game. Trough got away finely and passed through three in nings without the agony of witnessing the Giants score. In his session, how ever, Ellam and Phelan pulled off mar velous fielding stunts and Pratt sue cessfully nipped a couple who would have pilfered second.
 Sexton pitched the eighth and ninth innings. He allowed no hit in the 6lgHt0. put III the NlHtn HIS DeHueIs were delightful morsels who not only fattened their batting averages but drove in the run needed to win.

 In the fourth Wilson, who had sin gled and Doyle, who had walked, scored when Yantz misjudged a fly off the stick of Doyle.

 Barons Tie Score
 The Barons did tie the score and eh ould have won the game in the eighth. Phelan was safe on an error of Bridweil and Molesworth was safe on fielder's choice when Merkle at tempted to head Phean d second. Mo Bride beat out bunt and the bases were full. But McGilvray. to the con sternation of all, famed, and Pratt fanned-aecording to the umpire-al . though it appeared if he had drawn four wild ones. At this juncture it
