Exhibition Of Season. y
MOTHER pitcher rose head and

A MOTHER pitcher rose head and
u shoulders above the mass Of
4 4 gunners that have faced the
Giants this season and a crowd Of 10000
saw McGraw and his men defeated At
home for the fourth time this season.
When the Giants are hitless they ore
hopeless and no amount of baseball In
genuity can send a runner around the
bases when he can't get on. Howard
Camnitz twlrled the pretticst game OF
ball that has been soon In the Brush
Stadium this season with the possible
exception OF one. The other twirler
who made the Giants pack up their
bats and admit that they were beaten
was Joe Willis Of the Cardinals.
There Is nothing to OFFER In excuses
and there can be no claim that Hard
Luck changed the fortunes OF war. The
Giants were simply beaten and beaten
clearly. They could not hit Howard
Camnitz while the Pirates were able
to lay back and tap Wiltse almost at
will. Wiltse was lacking In his usual
stuff" and the ball came over. an
Charley Riley says. like salome
dancer-with nothing on It.
In his daily battle with binding sun
light In right field Devore murod a
line drive that was close to the ground
and two runs scored for the Pirates
That proved . disaster In more ways
than one. 1t not only gave -Fttsburgh
q lead but II changed the style OF play
for the Giants. For instance. In the
fourth inning Murray and Becker both
walked before there was an out. II the
Pirates hadn't have had q lead OF
three runs the chances are that Hersog
would have advanced tho two runners
with q sacrifice. Being In need Of
bunch Of runs. however, MoCiraw or
dered Charlie TO hit the ball out. As q
result he banged into a double play
and the rally was ruined. With Meyers
coming up next sacrifice might have
caused Pittsburgh q lot Of trouble.
