Pitches Well Enough to Win
Most Games, but Mates

Desert f1lm.
The Giants continue 10 display
stronp feeling of brotherly love toward
the Cincinnati Reds. In the presence
OF some 10000 spectators at the POLO
Grounds yesterday afternoon they m
sisted that HeTzog's men win tneir
third straight victory, and for the nrst
time in several years capture series
in this city
Arthur Fletcher joined with Chief
Meyers and Larry Doyle, and played
the part of the giver of gifts, III wss
q Wild throw. an objectionable wild
throw. by the Collinsville lad I'M the
second inning which made victory ecr-
tain for the invaders. The score was
to |.
Although Fletcher stood forth IN the
full glare of the calcium, the Reds
proved in no uncertain manner that
they were prepared TO take cares OF
themselves, and scored runs sufficient
10 have won the game by free use OF
the hickory. JEFF Tesresu was the VIC
tim of all their pernicious activity.
Much Action in Second Frame.
Bert Niehoff started the hectic see
ond inning with an innocent grounder
to Larry Doyle, and retired gracefuiiy.
Heinie Groh, who still resents the fact
that he was sentenced 10 serve with the
Reds. picked out perfectly good spit
ball and larruped il into the left held
bleachers for a home run. That un-
leashed the dogs of war. Moran
doubled TO left field. Mollwltz sent one
TO shortstop, and Moran was caught
between the bases. He doubled pack

IL Fletcher had twinkled before, he
burst out in all his glories now. Herzog
popped a teasing hit just in front Of
second. for which Doyle and Fletcher
scrambled. The latter won the race
and cut loose a throw.
Doubtless that throw was Intended
for Merkle. But il. shot right shead,
When it passed first base il was tes
feet in the air and going mile
minute. Il stopped at the grandstandv
because concrete is harder than mostl
baseballs. Clarke, Douglas and Dan
iels dashed home, while HerZog drew
up az third. He counted when Tvombiy
sent single into right field. The
crowd. or fair portion thereof, rose
and cheered the rival leader as he
strobe to his bench.
Having passed that inning Tcsrcau
sailed along smoothly. Only twenty
four men batted against him, q hit
batsman and his own poor throw on
Moran's offering in the third swelling
the total. Only one clean hit was made
of him. Wiltse replaced him in the
ninth inning.
Douglas stood in the path Of the
Giants, pitching with skill that would
not down. He allowed not the faintest
trace of hit for three innings, NOW
! ing down the nine men who faced him as
reaper cuts the grain. In the fourth.
with two down, George Burns smashed
one on the end of his bat and dropped
| it in left field for hit. He made a
steal of second base and counted when
"Slapper" Dave Robertson doubled TO
centre field The full import Of that
run did not impress the crowd. II was
cordially received, but Burns did not
gain the full mead of credit which his
meritorious conduct deserved. Had
they realized that that one tally would
have to satisfy they might have ac-
claimed the runner. Later they we're
all az willing as Bsrkis, but it was too
late.
Five hits in all were torn from
Douglass delivery. Bob Bescher and
Larry Doyle singled. Bcscher rounded
third or Doyle's drive, but both were
left, while Douglas struck out Burns
and Robertson.
Bert Daniels Stars Again.
If the misdeeds Of Fletcher e.st
gloom over them there was much 10
rouse the enthusiasm Of all. For the
sake OF history IL must be chronicled
that the Reds carried of most Of the
glory. Not satisfied with his catch on
Friday which plunged the Giants into
defeat, Bert Daniels made a still great
er play yesterday. Not so much de-
pended on it, however.
In the eighth inning Bob Bescher
rammed one far and high into right
centre. II looked good, but Daniels
managed to get there in time and
, dragged 1t down not fifty feet from
the centre field fence. Twombly made
remarkable capture of drive by
MerSle IN the fourth and brought the
game to close in blaze Of glory by
catching Merkle's drive to deep left
; and doubling Robertson Off second.
Herzog played we'll az shortstop, and
Mollwitz was on his game at first base.
