Dave Robertson was one Of the chlet
factors in the attack OF the Giants II
one may Judge by the way he swings al
the ball. he is a player who will be heard
from in the tobacco and collar adNer-
tisements in another season. Moreover
he is spry enough in the field TO write
winter baseball for newspaper sporting
syndicate
Without wishing TO spoil his first story
II ia safe TO predict that he will begin
by saying that he owes his success on
the diamond TO a broken shoulder be

Robertson is still little bit overeaSer
AT the plate and shows tendency 10 20
after pretty much everything he can
reach. but there is no denying the driving
mower in his back and shoulders. In the
seventh inning Bob Harmon pitched

Zig recruit swung as II with golf club
and lifted the ball into the right heid
stand for a home run.
Robertson was in right field again. but
snodgrass was benched and Fred Merkle
appeared on first.
In spite OF the rival attraction at the
other polo grounds the baseball attend
ance did not suffer. More than eight tnou-
sand people. one of the largest weekday
crowds Of the season, saw the game. 80
partisan are some OF the followers OF the
national pastime that they would not take
Captain Cheape as an even trade for
Arthur Fromme.
..Why is this baseball game like polo
match?" inquired a funny fan at the emu
OF FIVE scoreless innings. Nobody gave
him any encouragement, but he went
right on. Because it's battle OF chuk-
kers," he said.
In the sixth inning the tide of the pitch
ers battle turned toward the Giants
Bescher singled to centre, but Mccarthy
made a nice running catch OF Burnss bid
for A Texas Lacquer. Fletcher was hit in
the shoulder. Doyle sent a long fly to
Kelley. and Bescher took third. Mer<le's
smash Was Just out of the reach of Wag-
ner and il went for a single, which scored
Rescher. Max Carey fumbled and Fletch-
er also came home.
- Mclean took the place Of Meyers in the
sixth inning after the Indians knee had
been hurt by foul. Larry had the mis-
fortune of being robbed right in plain
I sight Of the 5000 rooters and all the spe-
cial policemen. He hammered a savage
srounder far TO the left OF Mccarthy in
the seventh, but the second baseman made
q dive for the ball. Mccarthy rolled over
ythrce times, which is twice more than the
usual allowance for star catches, but
when he came up for air he stu had time
20 throw out Mclean a; first base.
