The awaited advent of Herzog's Gin
cinnatis at the Polo Grounds took place
yesterday in the rain, and for two rea-
sons the event lacked the eclat expected.
One was that II was a raw and showery
day. making a big hole in the attend
ance the other was that the team which
has been cutting such a dash and 30 per-
sistently threatening the Giants retention
OF first place made n poor showing In its
first game here under the management
Of the popular ex-Giant. The Giants
won by a score of to 0.
1t was not only "a wet day but an Off
day for the Redpeps They couldn't have
played much ball like that and be where
they are, They clotted UP the lawn and
couldn't hit Marquari. They couldn't
make enough impression on the Rube to
Gull a run Of their own. and they made II
pleasant and easy for the Giants by tho
redundancy of their transgrossions.
The Giants played strong game.
nevertheless. and one which II would have
been difficult TO beat however excellent
may have been the Reds response. The
poor playing Of the Reds was no more "A
feature than the high grade playing OF
the Giants. Marquard pitched in first
class form, never allowing two or more
bases to be occupied simultaneously BY
the foemen and getting support which
would have buttressed weaker pitching
to effectiveness. Fletcher and Stock
smothered hot shot drives from the Gin
clnnati woodenware anu Burns In LEFT
gave a handsome exhibition OF pro-
iclency In hooking difficult ny balls out
of the moisture.
Still. under the cheerful and hustling
leadership OF Herzog the Reds didn't be-
como downcast or NOPE. They stood up
and repealed the Giants several times
before they caved in, which caving was
physical, not moral In their first local
clash with the Giants. however. they were
surpassed considerably In steadiness,
ability and dependability. \ drizzle fell
In the first part OF the game and the
wet ball bothered Ames much more than
1t did Marquard. II didn't bother Mar
guard at ALL but Ames had lot of
trouble with Il trying to field hunts.
Two of his three errors on inheld pokcs
were costly.
Umpire KLEIN did a Samaritan role for
each pitcher by throwing ball back
to the bench to be dried as soon as Il

sumed the vigor OF shower. 1t never
rained hard, but rained enough rain TO
drive spectators out of the uncovered
seats. There was an exodus from the
bleachers, which, for once. were entirely
empty. That left n lot of inviting space
into which to drop n home run. but no
body performed that loop looping feat

Dave Robertson. the smuggling freshman,
chopped a safe hit to the inficld, and the
bases were filled when Ames made a high
throw OF Stocks chop. The throw had
Stocky beaten. but Hobby was obliged
I to go aloft for II. Meyers hit to Herzog
for force, but In trying for a double

The pitchers buckled down and left
men on the bases on both sides In the
third. Clarke doubled with one out, but

Marquard walked and Ames mishandled
Bescher's sacrifice, putting two on with
none out. Burns was thrown out by
Ames. Fletcher struck out on an altitu-
dinous pitch. and Doyle flied to Moran.
The New York fourth and tho Cncin-
natl NTH were other cases OF fair to me-
dunn chances to score tapering off TO
zeros In the face OF good pitching and
fielding. Robertson was on second with
one out and tried to take third on a short
passed ball. Clarke turned him bench

In New Yorks fifth there were three
hits an error by Ames. two bases on balls
and three runs. Marquard hit In front OF

all this was useless effort for the Giants
