Matty Mcintyre pulled in a long
wallop from Getzs bat in the sixth
inning. Why don't Matty quit the
game, he's been playing long enough
to have made bundle of money. Why
not give some one else a chance. The
curey haired boy sent in a run with
his double in the eightl--the only
tally made off Bell.
Bert Tooley will probably be in the
regular lineup today. Manager Smith
was loath to make any change in the
combination that once swept through
the league like the Pirates OF old WHO

has come to take drastic action If the
flag is to be saved.

The New York Giants finally sue
ceeded in checking the Chicago Cubs
yesterday, after battling for thirteen
rounds at the Windy City. Tesreau
went the route and famed seven Cubs,
without issuing pass. Smith
pitched great ball for eight innings,
but the Cubs could do no hitting be-
hind him. A home run by Safer, with
a runner on first base, enabled Chi
cago to tie it up in the ninth. In the
twelfth each team scored one run, but
the Giants got in the winning tally in
the thirteenth and then prevented
Chicago from scoring.
Cincinnati and Philadelphia fought
to a draw in Cincinnati. The teams
were even at 2-2 in the tenth inning,
when the game was called. Both
teams hit hard, but their hits were
scattered and many of them went TO
waste.
Boston, and Pittsburgh divided a
double-header at Pittsburgh. The
Braves pulled the first game out, 6-5,
by scoring three runs in the ninth in
ming. Adams piloted the Corsairs
to a victory in the last contest,
outpitching Rudolph and winning, 81.
Brooklyn could not play at st.
Louis, owing to rain.
