Back in the Giant fold again. Otis Gran
dali. famous for his ability TO revive
easping ball games and pull victory from
the brands of defeat. tried i'm vain TO
guide the Giants out Of the darkness at
the Polo Grounds Yesterday afternoon.
Crandall found himself confronted by n
task which was little short of herculean.
and despite his gamest efforts the cham
pions were showed under by the Pirates
by a score of s TO 3.
The broadshOUldered Hoosier was in no
way responsible for the discontinue Of
the Giants When he was called into &C
ton the score stood to In favor Of the
Pirate band Although hit freely. Gran
dali did well. and had he received proper
support he might have put an end to the
scoring industries of his opponents with
only single tally. The men behind him
faltered badly in the fifth frame, how
ever. and an unearned run was counted.
Crandau and all others to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Pirates went after
the game in the first two innings. Just as
if they wanted IT, and would brook no re-
straint in satisfying their ambition. Ar
thur Fromme. late Of Cincinnati, was Sc
lected by McGraw TO conduct the cere-
monies attending another victory.
Fromme warmed well In the practice, but
il was nothing to the way in which he
was warmed in the first two innings. In
that short space Of time he was larruped
for no fewer than seven safe hits. which
produced half a dozen runs and chnched
the game then and there.
Max Carey was the prime mover in the
defeat of the Giants. The left fielder Of
the Pirates accounted for no fewer than
one-half the total number Of runs scorer

home runs. In the first inning he bounced
one off the facade Of the upper right held
