Boston. May "a sharp. vigorous at
tack concentrated in the fourth inning
gave the Giants an easy victory over the
Boston Braves in the first game or the
series played here this afternoon. SIX
hits. all clustered around two bases on
balls, brought in seven lusty runs for the
visitors. which the local talent could not
begin TO discount as long as Rube Mar
guard ruled so tyrannically., That was
the extent OF the product turned out by
tile New York MILL and the game enied
with the count At 10 ?.
The tornado batting bee centred about
the head OF Bill James. the young pitcher
from the Northwestern League, who was
crushed by the massiveness Of the clout-
ing Murrays home run over the lett
field fence, the first OF the season in TINS
direction. Larry Doyle's triple TO deep
centre and Arthur Fletchers double Were
part Of the difficulties with which the
Boston twirler had to contend.
After he had succeeded In retiring the
side he beat a hasty retreat. and Dick
Rudolph finished the game. Dick is the
pitcher McGraw chung 20 for so long, but
finally relnquishod after several trials
He did some good work against the
Giants, holding them 10 two hits in the
last FIVE frames and striking out six bats
men He gave only two passes But. or
course. the effort amounted to little, as
nina hits and three passes off James in
the first four innings had Melted enough
runs 20 win the game by a comfortable
margin.
Marquari. on the other hand, gave In
dications OF a rapid return to his best
form. The Braves considered themselves
lucky 20 make away with six scattered
hits. two Of which were picked up by
Briscoe Lord. the veteran fielder. for
merry with the Philadelphia Athletics,
playing mis- first full game for Boston.
Marquards control was excellent. as he
permitted only one pass. striking out five
batsmen the while. The Rube, by the
way. is showing rare form as hitter
these days He made single and did his
share in the rally I'm the fourth.

the Indian struck out twice. a thing that
he does not do when he is in form. The
continued hard hitting by Merkle how
ever. is helping 10 overcome the slump OF
the chief. Fred contributed three singles
Yesterday. while Doyle and Fletcher
picked up two safetes apiece.
The Braves got away to slight lead
when they nicked MarQuard for pair Of
runs in the third frame Whaling started
on with a single 10 right while James
laid down n perfect hunt along the first
base line. beating the ball 10 first. Maran-
willie forced Whaling at third Marqual d
to Herzog. and Meyers forced Maranyille
at second. James going 70 third. Then
Briscoe Lord hit the first ball pitched 10
right centre for double. scoring James
and Meyers.
In the sneXt inning the Giants set off
the fireworks With one out. DOYLE tripled
TO centre. and counted when Merkle
bounced single OF Sweeney's shn,.
Then Murray lifted the ball over the left
field fence for a home run. scoring Mer-
kle ahead OF him This so unsettled
James that he passed Meyers and Herzog.
and then Marquard singled 10 rleht. hll!rg

fly TO Mann. who muffed the ball letting
