Tied for Second Place.
Boston. April l9.-That loud booming
and sound of tramping feet which cIn
be so plainly discerned around the Ma
tional League circuit is nothing less
than the New York Giants getting up
a terrific momentum for another Of
their nying starts. The champions
were here to-day to help the Braves
celebrate the anniversary OF the firing
of ''the shot heard round the world"
and they proceeded to touch of d blast
themselves which caused Il seismic dis
turbance in far-off Chicago and smoky
Pittsburgh Playing ut Fenway Park.

Shorn of the services of their noble
captain. Larry Doyle. who is under
strict Empirical surveillance on the
bench for three days. as a result Of
argumentative attitude yesterday, the
Giants entered upon their duties VITA
the lust Of victory and revenge i'm their
hearts. Leon Ames led the morning
attack. pitching one OF his best games
Jeff Tesreau did Phil Sheridan in
the afternoon, while eighteen thousand
fans bore witness TO his valor.
Within the short space of three days
the Giants have jumped from the cellar
TO tie for second place, the Pittsburgh
Pirates sharing the berth with them.
Thirty-nine hits and thirty runs in the
last three games, an average of ten
runs and thirteen hits. bear witness to
, the vigor Of the New York attack. 1t
is no wonder the league is stirred TO it's
foundations.
James and Hess we're the pitching
Victims in the two games. The former
had charge Of affairs I'm the morning.
and while he allowed only eight safeties
they were of such timely nature that
runs rippled across the plate like waves
on storm swept shore. James had the
temerity TO give the visitors six passes
when his only hope lay in keeping them
OF the bags. As battery partner he
had drawn young Devoight. who pegged
yainly to hold the heet-footed cham
pions in check. Eight stolen bases were
recorded by the visitors, Snodgrass.
Herzog and Murray pilfering two
apiece.
Hess offerings were combed for
eleven hits in the afternoon. and as
several safe drives of the extra base
variety were made with the bases well
peopled the piling up of the score was
not difficult. With two out i'm the fifth
and the bases filled, Merkle raped
screaming triple over Cy Seymours
head, scoring three runs. Shafer came
through with a piping double in the
sixth inning which tailed two runs.
Meyers and Murray. with two hits
apiece. were the leading swatters of the
morning session, while Shafer, Snod-
grass and Merkle CARRIED off the honors
i'm the afternoon. Snulgrass had big
day Of it, making three hits in six times
at bat in the two games and scoring
five runs, three of which were tailed IN
the morning encounter.
Red Ames was in top form TO do
battle with James. Although he made
wild pitch. he did not give base on
balls and struck out ten batsmen.
After the Giants had taken a good lead
early I'm the game he let up and was
hit rather freely toward the end. but
little damage was done. Tesreau finally
broke into the won column after two
unsuccessful starts and showed good
form. He was nicked for seven scat
tered hits. while he famed six men and
gave four passes. He was not COM
pelied to work at top speed, as the
Braves never threatened.
The Giants broke all precedents by
giving Ames errorless support. They
rarely play perfect fielding game at
hest and il must have been IL terrible
sbocl; TO the big blond pitcher to be
backed up in such fashion. Tesreau
received good support as we'll, only two
errors being made behind him.
Sbafer is taking care Of second base
during the enforced exile of Larry
Doylc. and he did his best TO fill tue
CAPTAINS shoes by rapping out three
hits i'm the afternoon and one III the
morning. He took care of seven
chances I'm the second game, making
one error Perhaps it is superfluous to
say that the bobble came while there
was runner racing from third 10
home in the scco.d inning. Jackson
hurt his hand going after Fletcher's
hit in the eighth frame of the morning
game, so that grave yawned to let Cy
Seymour take his place.
Cy has been sojourning in the minors
since his release by the Giants two
