There wasn't much to the Giants Of
fence yesterday except at the start. They
got away flying, but finished lImping. The
Reds outlasted them, came from behind
and won by score OF 20 3. The Rhine
land vassals played the better game, al

work when they weren't doing poor work.
and especially did the Reds win because
RUDE Benton pitched better than Rube
Marquard The Red Rubc stumbled at
the start but finished strong. and tho
home RUDE started well ard finished
poorly.
The erratic trait which the Giants have
so prominently this season Is cmpha sized
when they drop two IN row to such
team as the Cincinnatis, a crowd to
whom they oughtn't TO lose more than
once fortnight. Yesterday they lost
after the game appeared to be high and
dry in the smoke house. There was
nothing the matter with the Reds fight
ing qualities. They didn't recognize that
they We're beaten, and on the strength
OF two fumbles by Larry Doyle and free
hitting OF Vanguard In the seventh and
eighth Innings they worked their way TO
the front Marquard would have pulled

two ground balls into errors.
Luck was with the Giants for a short
stay. then took wings and alightcd on
The Reds standards. In the second inning

rlashed grounder of Niehoffs Hhins
and the ball flew into a grand stand box.
Later the Reds had the luck. They made
several hits Of bearing on the scoring.

that last moment the Giants made a
plucky bid TO atone. Daniels made his
catch Off Stock. who was another live
wire with his batting and fielding. Byron
sent Mullaney OF the Reds from the field
for kicking and Johnson sent McGraw
off for the same reason. McGraw had
his hands apart to show how far John
