The Giants won a game from the
pbilhes Yesterday, after II was All ou,
ovcr. and lost another before II had
fairly started. The iirst encounter
might have been one of those moving
picture dramas in which Mathewson i

and so thrilling the finish. Larry
Doyle was the feature OF the MIN. n
the ninth inning Doyle made nome
run. which drove three men across
the plate and enabled the Grants 10
win by r score of TO 4.
This left the count OF the series
four games TO none in favor OF New
York. but in the second game the worm
from Philadelphia turned, even though
JEFF Tesreau sought % put ms nee!

The score was TO =.

who faced MIN Tesreau put only one

batter up, laid down sacrifice, Lu
derus came up with the bases full, and
Larry Mclean implored the pitcher to
Let him hit III" He did. When the
hall was returned from deep left CEN
ire three men had scored and Luderus
was on third base.
Demaree came in from the varm-up
station allegro. JEFF walked TO the
bench andante. A long fly brought
Luderus home. The Giants went after
Jacobs so oriskly in their half of the
inning that Doom was compelled 10
take him out and substitute Mayer,
who had worked on Saturday after
noon. hut the Phillies soon took all
worry from the mind Of their twirler,
for 10 their four runs OF the first Inn
ing they added three in the second.
After Demaree came McGraw's sibl-
liant sensations. SchaueT and Schupp,
and both pitched we'll Schauer, who /
made his first home appearance Of the
year, did particularly good work. lie

Giants before McGraw's men swing 7
around the Western end of the circuit .
About $4,000 persons were IN the I.
stands.
In point Of play. few afternoons OF
the season have produced such brilliant .
work by outfielders. Robertson, Burns, h
Paskert and Becker all made astound-
ing catches. And the greatest of these /

had already hit safely three times,

which had plenty Of distance in spite
of its height.
Robertson ran back and leaned
against the concrete wall. He stretched
his arms upward, but the ball was
aimed at a point far above his head.
and so the outfielder lesped. He jumped
as high as the "Hy' in "Hy Mayer"
on the Puck" sign. His hands closed
about the ball and the force of the
drive threw him hard against the wall,
furnishing his heels and head, but
Davey Robertson has the weaknesses
of neither Achilles nor Hamlet. He
took his bumps and held the ball. Out
OF the concrete he had distracted it.
Scarcely had the crowd finished
cheering the feat Of Robertson before
the turn Of events moved them 20
fresh tumult The Giants needed two
runs TO win. First up was Robertson.
He bounced a single over second base.
Merkle was passed. Larry Doyle

met the ball and sent it on the line.
but, after all, il was not the drive so
much as the carrom which won the
game.
Cravath is no Willie Hoppe on angles.
but he took a stand at a point which
one might expect tie ball 10 reach when
II bounded off the right field wall. But
the ball did not come off the wall at
all. II chung 70 the concrete and ran

Cravath in close pursuit. Doyle was
across the plate before move could
be made TO head him Oft.
The home run revealed the fact that
one man at the Polo Grounds is sail
ing under false colors. Henry Fabian
is supposed to be ground keeper. and
he explains his presence at the Polo
Grounds every afternoon by saying
that he has to look after the grass. but
Fabian IS d fan. When Doyle crossed
the plate Henry threw his hat the
green one high in the air. He ran
forward and slapped Doyle on the
back, and all the time he was making
loud and incOherent noises like a Co
lJmbia Undergraduate at Poughkeepsie.
Somebody should tell John Foster.
the club secretary, about Fabian. A
man who gets 50 much fun out Of
ball game ought to pay admission at
the gate.
Bcschrr made an lnfeld INT IN the
first inning Of the first game and
worked ms way TO third on two infeld
outs. Another infeld hit. this one by
Daycy Robertson, brought Bescher
home.
