GIANTS MAKE MERRY
At THE POLO GROUNDS
Call Steam Roller Into Play and

MURRAY SHINES IN FIELD
Makes a Circus Catch That
Brings Fans" Up Standing
Far Out Near Fence IN
Right Centre.

Of three runs in the first inning at the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon and then
beat them by a score of II to 3. While
practically a walkover for the Giants after
the firth inning, the game furnished some
of the greatest defensive work and some
of the hardest batting ever seen in this
city. Jack Murray Beals Becker and Fred
Merkle were the leaders, the latter
two in batting. as their hits told for
sair share of the runs scored by the New
York team
TO Jack Murray. however, belongs the
credit for making one of the greatest
catches of his career, and one that com
pares well with his famous capture made
IN Pittsburgh during a thunder and light
ming storm. In the ninth inning Mike Doc
Ian stepped I'D and drove q double TO right
field that Murray might have caught if lie
had not lost sight of the ball in cloud
of smoke from one Of the engines on the
Putnam division OF the New York Cen
Eral Lines Tesreau then Erooved one for
Charley Doom, and the flame haired leader
swung with all his might on a dead line
fhe ball went to right centre field but with
the crack of the bat Murray turned and
raced with il. As he ran he turned at the
rigb+ moment. and. leaning high i'm the
air. caught the ball with one hand. not five
feet from the centre field bIeachers. An
idea of the distance of the hit may De
CLEANED from the fact that Doolan, not
the fastest man in the league, scored on
log from second base on the throw-in
Beals Becker's work. both i'm the field
ard ~ tho hat must have cIaddcncd the
,oort or NcC,raw. while il doubtless gave
III mon ON the bench much food for re-
nection. Becker was the RECOMMENDATION of
sneed and yigOr and anything that came
within reasonable distance of him was too
