CARELESS of faith or color, turned most
heartlessly against the Giants at the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon and
insisted on an even break for the series.
The champions were unable to even
murmur against this racapty, and were
so overcome at the lese majestic of the
invaders that they settled right back

The most cruel blow of all, however.
was the manner in which George Tyler
bulldozed the boys. This Boston person
of the southpaw persuasion submitted
the champions. who boast Of no small
proves with the bat, TO a heckling such
as they have not undergone all season.
But for the kindly Offices of that Gin

a hit would have been entered into the
records. after a whole afternoons work.
George moved the regulars down art
fully, but he could not hurdle the pinch
hitting brigade, and when Larry was

off Tyler in the game. Thus was he
robbed OF a no-hit game.
The very flower Of the New York pitch
ing staff was pitted against the visiting
left-hander when Matty himself took up
the gage of battle. But even the mas
ter, although offering one Of his best
games for inspection. was unable to stave
off defeat. The blow which decided the
battle was struck in the fifth frame. With
two men on the bases and two out, Con-

extremely forceful.
1t is being whispered here and there
that the champions are in a slump.

Fortunately the Superbas were able to

seven and one-half games to nourish.
Tyler was directly responsible for let

Tyler retired the side in order in six Of
the nine innings. A pass TO Shafer in the
second and one to Burns in the sixth re-
lieved the monotony before Smiths error
and McLean's double in the eighth were
punched for a run. Tyler bothered to
strike out only two batsmen.
BY playing an errorless game in the
field the Giants had something TO boast
about after a full afternoon Of work.
Larry Doyle's hitting Of late has not been
impressive enough TO allow his going In
