Perhaps Dick Rudolph will triumph
vyhan ne faces Frank Baker, and again
he may not. Christy Msthewson mace
a Gallant effort Yesterday TO save the
Roston pitcher from the ordeal, but
without success, for, though the Giants
sbut out Brooklyn at to U, they
gained no ground on the Braves, VINO
snatehed q victory away from tne
Pbillies. ,.4
Al catch by Larry Doyle had great
deal to do with the victory OF tne
Giants. Matty was master OF tne heiS
most of the afternoon, but IN the slXth
inning II seemed for a time as If the
opposing team had jolted him out OF
MS steady pace Came one clean MT
by Wheat and Immediately afterward
an equally irreproachable single by
George Cutshaw which put Wheat on
second.
GUS Ge;z laced liner toward the
fence in right field, but Larry Doyle
darting toward first base, reached INTO
the air with his glove and when MS
hand came down 1t held the pail: IL
was easy then to toss to second Tor
double play. Only in this inning WAS
Brooklyn dangerous.
Superbas RIle Empires.
Brooklyn fought hard against the
Giants, but harder against the umplres.
The Sup6rbas' ideal of aggressiVeness
is TO have, at least one man put OF tn l',
feld each day. Yesterday 1t was DICK
Tpan. Dick has been OF for the
oreater part of the season, what with
hpaments, teeth and general ailments
hut Yesterday his only complaint was
pure cussedness.
After the Giants had scored two runs
Eoan conceived a hatred OF the ball
witch McGraw's men had pummelled
and he suggested to Eason that the
snbere be retired. To Egan's eyes
Something WAS fearfully wrong with
the sphere. IniQuity was written al
over II, but Eason could see nothlng'
even though Egan all but thrust tne
bail up to his nose. And so Egah was
banished. -,
came TO him again, and he paused be-
fore going into exile to examine 1t once
more and to shake his head at the
thought that such a depraved pan
should be permitted to remain, whlIe
he was sent to the clubhouse.
Some of the players who are gong
70 win the 1915 pennant for New 1orK
reported before the game. harry
Smith, the catcher, came on from oa'
vannah, bearing medal which ne re-
ceived as the best player IN the south
Atlantic League. Heunke and ErlGson'
pitchers, arrived from Dallas Wllhou'
medals, and Brainard, an lnneIder' re-
ported from Austin.
There also was new umpire
OiConnor, from the Atlantic League.
The rOoters tried to make him feel at
home, even if he were a newcomer, anu
he was called a robber before two IN
nings had been completed.
Some Daring Base Running.
Snhmutz. one of Brooklyn's young
pitchers, was hit hard, but steadied
when men were en- bases. The Giants
made two of their runs in the first IN
ming after some wild and daring base
running which set the Brooklyn de-
fence. on its head.
Snodgrass began with pretty single
IN centre field and raced to first with
out even pausing to thumb his nose
DOYLE drove a hard, low hit TO right
which was good for one base and put
the runner on third. Burns forced
DOYLE. from Getz to Cutshaw, but Snod-
grass scored. Fletcher's hit to centre
put Burns on second, and when ROD
ertson forced Fletcher to Egan, unaS-
sisted, Burns took third. -,
He and Robertson tried the double
steal. McCatty was ready with throw
to third which had Burns trapped on
but he escaped IN the run-up. Robert
son had come all the way past second,
and Cetz switched the ball for a play
on Davey. Burns then dashed for the
plate and made it with a long slide.
The other run for the Giants was
scored in the fourth on pass to MerkIe
and his steal and single by Larry
MeLean.
Mstty had q good day at the bat as
well as in the box, and made two clean
hits. The Giants will go to Philadei-
phia to-day for two games with Dooln's
men. The, Superbas travel to Boston
10 meet the Braves. This switch in
teams may be profitable, for in the
early part of the season the Braves
were easy prey for Brooklyn. Up 10
eleven games out of fifteen from Bos-
ton, but the two teams have not, met
since July.
The score follows:
