by the home team and loose fielding
days game z to 4. O'Toole's offerings
were satted freely in the first two in
nings and he was handicapped by mis-
cradle support, the Giants scoring five
runs on four hits, two passes and four
errors. The locals played sensational
ball behind Mathewson. who pitched
well until the eighth. when the Pirates
tive hits. although Mensor was retir-
ed when he tried to make third on
Carey's nit. Mathewson pulled him
self together and made Wilson pop
out and struck u Byrne. Incidental
ly. M~athewson gave his first base on
balls since he pitched his first game
of the season in Boston on April II.
Of the game. He made the initial bag
four times on singles and once when
o'Toole threw wild on his sacrifice
