Heavy batting and scoring were stirred
IN with both games OF a double header ut
the POLO Grounds yesterdsy The Giants
aud Brooklynp were at battle ana each

oud. & to s. IL was sledgehammcr tight
ting and about AS scientific. pitchers were
knocked this way and that headless.
laundering work made its appearance
more than once: the players were In jams
with the umpires and there was turmoil
generally.
Frequent scoring and closcness made
both games exciting, though they were
long drawn out. The light was fading
when tho hostilitics ended, before that in
fact. The umpires, Johnson and Byron,
were iit hot water often, and without
mentioning any names It may be said that
all the poor work Of those on the field
wasn't confined to the players. They were
authoritative. however. were the urnprss,
and In that part OF their performance
which. consisted OF cjecting players they
were full Of ginger.
Some OF the close decisions went against
the Giants, and Giants we're the ones
elected. Byron put Snodgrass ont during
the ninth inning of the first game, and in
this decision Byron appeared to he right.
Johnson gave close decisions against the
Giants in the second game. decisions
which looked wrong. and Tesreau and
Donlln we're put off the field for kicking.
Mr.. Byron booted decision on O'Mara
st the plate in the second game. An APP
peal was made 10 johnson by the Brook
iyas, and Byron reversed his ruling when
told by his colleague that he was wrong
Byron gave two decisions against Brook
lyn In tho first game which were as poor
as any Of the playing mscues of the day.

Whatever the New York players said
to the jumps, IL couldn't have been much
more than Jack Robinson. they we're fired
80 quickly. Stll. emphatic opinions OF
Empirical inability can be pronounced In
words of less letters than Jack Robinson.
Dcmaree, Frommc. Niitse, Rucker Matty,
Allen and Aitchson all took a drubbing
during the course of the hit studded NATL
nee. Roth teams were in lighting mood
and that made up for much inchoatc play
Ing. Tho Giants really played the poorer
ball Of the two. at least III fielding. and
the way quantities of them were left on
bases was distressing, but they were oil
edge In scrappness.
In the third Inning of the first game the
Giants MADE three runs ana tlsu the score
Then the Dodgers worked their way to
another good lead. assisted by the splenetic
hitting Of Herr StenRel. In the first half
OF the game the Giants fell for the lohs
and loops and varied delivery Of Nap
RuckoT, and Nap outguessed them con-
stantly. Meanwhile the BroolSlyns were
getting hold OF Demaree's slow ball with
deadly effect.
In the last two innings Rucker was
logged to a FRAGILE and driven from the
hillock in the ninth. Opening the ninth
three runs behind, Burns hit safely.
Fletcher, who swung powerful mallet,
lifted a home run into the left field flats.
