Nothing they have undertaken since the
Season began has been a. easy for tina
Giants ~ scoring against the shattered
Reds the last two days. The two games
have yielded them eighteen runs. the score
yesterday being 10 TO IN their favor
and they had substitutes stuck in here
and there before the game was over be-
cause the oppos tion wasn't sufficiently
serious to necesstate the further pres
ence of first line men. Now II some of
the run surpusage was retroactive and

which three runs We're scored without a
hit or the ball being poked outside the
diamond.
The choppy nature or the Cincinnati
thrusts provided maximum Of oppor-
iunities for the iufcdcrs. Matty was the
busiest iniieldcr of the lot. having six
assists through the frequent inability Of
the opposition to hit past him, but the
