Cincinnati. Aug. 7.-After two harrow

McGraw and his band of more or less
subdued Giants began their series with
the Reds in most suspicious style here

two innings ne worked.
Had Marquard been left in, johnson
might have finished in style. but the re-
moval of the "Rube" evidently grated on
his nerves. Johnsons tale was told In the
early stages of the ninth. He passed
Larry Doyle for starter, and when Fred
Merkle hit solidly. Doyle slid into third,
injuring his already sore foot He retired
and Jack Murray was put IN TO run iof
him. Murray scored easily with the tieing
run when Herzog singled TO the outfield,
Merkle taking second on the hit. Right
then and there Tinker ydnked Johnson out
OF the box ana sent Mordecai Brown in TO
stem the tide.
In his palmy days Brown used TO stand
the Giants on their heads, but to-day was
d different story. Merkle and Herzog

threw so badly to the plate that Merkle
scored Herzog rounded third on the
play and scored on hit by F'romme,
while Hartley arrived at the plate when
Burns raped a safety. Shafer then fouled
70 King and Fletcher forced f'romme.
There were several dashes of brillancy
in the game TO keep the interest Of the
SPECTATORS alive. Tinker had fairly busy
day of il at third base, making five note
worthy plays. His stop of Merkle s
grounder in the seventh inning was espe-
cially good and the crowd cheered him
royalty. He followed this with another
high grade play on Herzog few seconds
later. DIR. Hoblitzell had his hands full
with fifteen cases. all ably handled.
Arthur Fletcher played well at shortstop
for the Giants.
The Reds got after runs in the first
inning Bob Bescher smashed triple 70
left field, drive that only the speed OF
Shafer prevented from being good for tho
circuit Bob scored on a long fly by De-
wore. Scoring was then suspended until
the seventh inning. Groh singled. moved
up on a sacrifice, took third on an infield
out and scored on Sheckards single to
right field.
