Giants failed TO enter a victory in the
won column at the Polo Grounds yester-
day afternoon, despite the fact that they
engaged the Boston Braves in two games

the first game was lost by the tight score
of 2 TO /. while the second pithy struggle
was called at the end of the seventh in

has burst upon the scene with much
splendid pitching, bafiled the newly made
champions. with the exception of Groh,
at short. and Burns. in left field. the tull

single by Tesreau-after two were out in
the eighth. gave the Giants their only
run. Red" Murray nicked Hess for the
other hit in the second frame. Otto was
next to invincible, giving only three
passes and tanning two.
Tesreau naturally was up against
stiff proposition. and he did his best. But
il took shut-out pitching TO win that
game and luck broke against him when
two miserable Texas leaguers happened
along with two men on the bags They
We're just enough to give Boston the
victory Six hits were all he allowed, but

the Brush stadium. He is none otheh
than young Goulait, from Indianapolis,
who now takes his place alongside of
Tesreau, MarQuard and La Rue Kirby
The Kirby part. of course is all right, but
the La Rue Is open to suspicion. Anyway
M Goulait got a chance TO show his fall
offerings TO eight thousand of the elect
He was hit pretty hard by the visitors
even though he seemed to have plenty Of
speed and a good curve ball He was

mound after five innings of work, during
which time be was landed upon for eleven
hits Three Of these were made by Snod-
grass. while Fletcher and Shafer divided
four between them. McTigue, who pitched
the last two frames, faced only six bat
tiers.
Arthur Devlin played a brilliant fielding
game at third for the visitors and ham
mered out four hits in the two games,
three being made off Goulait. Larry
Doyle. who accepted nine chances without
an error in the first encounter. was over
flowing with pepper and earned rest
by his good work Shafer took his place
in the second contest. Titus did a pretty
bit of fielding when ne robbed Merkle of
a triple in the second inning of the first
game after Murray had singled.
