The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-16


The Giants raised a pennant at the Polo
Grounds yesterday, but couldn't raise
enough runs to win. They were beaten by
the Pirates. whom everybody else has been
ehastising and who were due TO win on
the law of averages. The score was 3 to ..
The Pirates helped the Giants raise the
new pennant. and the Giants helped the
Pirates beat the Giants. Fielding Lastly
cost the Giants the game. Very little of
the blame could be charged to Murquard.
The Pirates hit him fairly freely. but the
Rubo did his best work with men on bases.
In fact, he pitched capitally with men
on and the Pirates would have been held
to one run II Rube's support hadn't sagged.
4 mum by Beschcr and tumble by
Fletcher were responsible for two runs.
The game was booted away. Marquard's
Work was first class and deserved "a bet
ter fate.
From the Pittsburg viewpoint Babe
Adams deserved well too. He rallied
splendidly and pitched a line game after
poor start The Giants weren't on
bases often after the first inning, but
when they were Adams was equal to deal
ing with them, and was carried along by
"A couple OF double plays which shrivelled
budding New York rallies In their budhOod.
Although the fielding was dishgured a
bit by errors, a good deal OF 1t was very
slightly. this comely work appearing in the
absorption Of fly balls, OF which there were
many. Kelly. Burns, Bescher ana Doyle
made nabs OF conspicuous pulchrltude.
Although they have been going badly the
Pirates played good baseball yesterday
within the rather narrow limitations of
their game. There was little except the cut
and dried and little tendency to try any
thing except simple straiGhtaway tactics
Rain left the field heavy, but the game
was snapper than usual under such con-
ditions. The raw weather. however. pro-
duced IA small crowd for the pennant lift
ing. The 1913 banner was yanked TO thu
pole by the two teams after DE Wolf Hop
per had knocked the ashes out Of his pipe
and spoken brit fly.
Hemming In Hopper and the players
We're hundreds OF boys In thousands of

trudged around the field behind "a Killed

the uniforms seen were as the sands OF
the sea, and some as loose. One was seen
