1t was a splendidly pitched game

Mills was specially hostile to criti-

EW YORK, May 19.-Any old
m time the Giants can knock
Richie, the Giant Killer Of
several years past. out OF the box the
jinX that has been following them so
constantly this spring must have been
hammered out of existence. The Clan
McGraw seems to be started on their
long delayed winning way.
Richie had his troubles all through
the five innings he was allowed TO
occupy the box while in New York. He
was lucky he escaped the first stanZa
without being scored. for both Burns
and Fletcher tore off singles and Doyle
was walked purpOsely. rare thing
to do at the very start of a game.
But Evers and Richie got away with
it because Murray could not hit the
ball out Of the diamond with the
bases full Singles were made off
Richie in the second and third innings,
too, but il was not until the fourth
and fifth stanzas that the Giants got
run busy Then, however, there was q
right merry sWatfest that netted five

Now that lead, and, with Matty in
the box and going, too, at his very
best was very nifty. and looked big
enough TO win. That such was the
case, also, evidently appealed to man

strongly, for the big boss of the Cubs
