CINCINNATI. May LIT remained for
the old reliable Mathewson to put a stop
to the Reds winning streak. aud Big six
performed the feat In the most able fash
io1 to-day. Matty even went 80 far as to
break a record IN his victory over Herzog's
crowd by score OF 8 TO 1. The record.
breaking occurred In the fourth Inning
when he punched Johnny Bates IN the
ribs with fast one, the first batter tho
sterling hurler has hit In over a year He
hit TWO Ia 1871: and none last year. But
stead, as the baldhesded Red helde- was
doubled up quickly on the next play.
Only once was Mathewson In danger.
and that was in the fourth when the locals
finally managed to find him for few
safeties, enough for two runs, which tied
UP the proceedings for the time being.
But that was all While Matty did allow
few scattered hits after that little
scare, he frightened up like a drum and
sailed homo victor. Big six, who Is
immensely popular with the local fans,
got round OF cheers as he annihilated
the Reds Inning after inning. and when
the last man had been put out a great
and final cheer was sent up for the
veteran.
on the other hand McGraw's men had
little trouble rtnding the offerings OF Big
Davenport, the tallest pitcher in the
league. Davenport Is a recruit brought UP
from the Texas League and is said to he
a conner. When Davenport was not serv-
Ing up the kind that the champions de-
sired he was filling the bases with free
passes until Herzog could stand the strain
no longer and sent 1ngersoll, another re-
cruit. to the mound in the ninth. Tho
Giants greeted his offerings with de-
termination, showing their last tally across
OH two singles and a stolen base.
1nstilled with the confidence that Matty
always has with him the Giants play-u
bangup game In the field and they
showed a complete reversal OF form over
the two previous games of this series.
Mathewson pitched rings around the To-
calls for the first three innings. only one
hit being secured Off his delivery.
Davenport got himself In trouble at the
very outset but managed TO pull through
without scratch. After Bescher had
grounded out Burma gave an exhibition of
how to run bases by stretching an ordi-
nary single into a double Fletcher raped
out a single and the bases were choked
when Doyle walked. Merkle was not
equal to the occasion and struck out and
Groh took care Of a grounder by Snod-
grass. The next round found only Chief
Meyers on the bases. He walked, but was
caught mapping.
In the third the Giants paraded around
the sacks on passes issued by Daven-
| port. Bescher walked and stole second.
Burns strolled. Fletcher filled the sacks
when Davenport threw high on his bunt.
