home team take revenge for the decisive
defeat suffered on Saturday. and they

hits In clusters and at opportune mo-

in the course of the afternoon, Of when
the Giants made twenty-five. These in

whenever he faced them. The enthu-
eiasn was not dulled one iota when How

to oppose him. There was little to cnoCse
between the pitchers. Each allowed ten
hits. but Demaree was able 10 scatter the
safeties. The Pirates got 10 him for
three hits in the first frame, and with the
aid Of Larry McLean's poor throw scored

than seven bases in this game. scoring
one run on a pretty double steal. and
placing themselves in position TO score
on short hits and long sacrifice flies. In
the sixth and seventh innings the New
