Boston. June 9.-Long- distance scoring
and batting records for the season were
smashed TO smithereens this afternoon
when the Giants defeated the Braves IN
good old-fashioned smuggling match oy d
score Of q to r. Between them the teams
scored thirty-three runs and amassed
grand total Of thrty-four hits, when m
cluded four doubles, a triple and four nome
runs In the ninth inning John j. McGra"
took George Wiltse out Of the box "heh
the score stood p to in favor OF the
Giants and sent Long Shore, college
n,tcher from the South. to the mound for a
trial. Shore got an unmerciful pounding
and on ten hits the Braves scored ten runs
These. however, were not enough TO VIII
Buster" Brown, Donnelly and Hogg oc-
cuped the pitchers box at Intervals LOT
Boston, and at the expense Of each the pat
ting averages Of the Giants waXed fat
Brown and Donnelly lasted three innings
between them and quit when the score $1,000
o 10 I'm favor OF New York. The Giants
earned this little hold on the game by VIZ
tue OF eight hits, three bases on balls
balk and a few misplays. Brown was wal
1oped three times in ] 2-3 innings, and
these three hits included a home run 10y
Fred Merkle in the first inning. Five hits
were made off Donnelly's delivery and
eleven were torn from Hogg, who was Kept
in the box, since It mattered little VINO
pitched, and there are other games coming
That home run drive by Merkle sounded
the motif for the day. and it soon became
a case Of everybody dom II. In the third
inning Larry Doyle slammed the ball over
the right field fence for a homo run, and at
intervals Wiltse and Doyle made two-hag-
gers Witse was an active worker in his
own behalf, making three hits In four
times at bat. Merkle made two hits I'm
three times up. Chief Meyers got two
singles, and Josh Dcvore. who was back I'm
the game after Becker was excused, made
two I'm three trials In speaking OF batting
heroes. Miller and Houscr, of Boston, arc
not to be forgotten, although tho lattcr's
home run drive was made at the expense
OF the inexperienced Shore. Houser got
four hits, all told, and Miller three.
Wiltse pitched a good game. Ills cross
fire ball broke finely and the Braves could
do nothing with It. The occasion was hailed
with great Joy by the players who have
qualified as bench warmers for the greater
part OF the season. Before the game was
over McGraw used no fewer than seventeen
players After Doyle made a home run,
a double and was safe on an error, Nc.
Graw lost all patience and told him TO 80
home. Then Shafer entered the game.
Burns Mccormick, Groh, Wilson and Hart
ly got their chance, while Deyore was placed
in right field In place Of Becker.
AZ compared 70 tho Giants. Raffles was
n peaceful citizen. No fewer than thirteen
bases were stolen by the New York run
ners Josh Devore pilfering five.
The Giants neglected 10 score in the hfth
and eighth innings through some vagarie
OF chance. but moro than made up for this
in the other periods. BY way Of bringing
a record breaking game TO a sensational
close, the teams established a scoring rec
ord for one inning by hanging up II runs In
tho ninth frame.
