Pirates Fall on Luckless
AL with Mighty Clubs
and Drive Him
from Box.


Pittsburgh, Aug. 19.-The long shad-
ow Of the Boston Braves, silent, grim
and foreboding. was cast across the
trail of the Giants this afternoon.
While the athletes from the city OF
Culture were downing the Cincinnati
Reds the Giants were declsively de-
featcd by the Pirates in the second
game of the series at Forbes Field.
The score was 3 to !.
Long since the champions ceased 10
regard the squirt of the New England
ers with admiration. Stallings and his
men are now dangerous enemies; rivals
well worthy of the steel OF the best.
That share in the worlds series, al
ready thought as good as spent, now
seems less secure. Boston is now only
two games behind.
NcGraw. embittered by the reverses
suffered Of late, is almost inclined 20
believe that a triple alliance has been
formed against him. The Pirates. wo-
fully weak with the stick against al
most every team, met his men to-day
with battle flags flying and bats which
assumed the proportions Of telegraph
poles before the game was over. They
walked all over Al Demaree and Arthur
Fromme But Hooks Wiltse stopped
them short, so far as scoring was con-
cerued.
Perhaps Al Demaree had sore arm.
Perhaps he hasn't The fact remains,
however. that Al received his custom
airy drubbinP. and was knocked out Of
the box. Il is said that AIS favorite
song is II Hear You Calling Me-" but
he doesn't say just who is doing the
calling. In two innings Demaree al
lowed four hits, but three of these
came in the second frame, and with a
base on balls scored three runs. The
hits were of that sharp hard variety

players who never know when they arc

trying in the second set.
The neat was terrific all day, and this
may have had its effect on FottrelL
who slowed up considerably at this
period. Dabncy was constantly on the
alert for his openings. and began %
rip his forehand drives through his OPP
ponent's court for pretty passes.
The Boston man evened the match by
taking the second set at 6 9, and then,
playing with undiminished speed, ram
into a lead OF four games TO love IN
the final set.
At this point Fottrell realized he
must better himself IF victory was 70
be his. and began rcclinC of backhau
drives 70 Dabrey's base line, alternat-
ing this attack by brilliant volleys q.
the net. Fight as he would, Dabney
could not offset the Californian's rush,
and Fottrell took game after game until
the score read sail.
His supreme effort seemed 10 have
sapped the last ounce Of Fottrell's
strength. however. and Dabney took

Chicago. Aug. 19-The doughty
Brooklyn Superbas are still deadlocked

Wild, Weird Throws Add to
Joys of the Conflict

Play to Drag.

The Yankees really didn't want 70 win
yesterdays game against the Cleveland
Maps at the Polo Grounds, but the
Maps were quite as insstent In fact,
they were absolute in their refusal 10
win, 50 there was no other way. The
Yankees finally captured any glory that
went with the larger side of I 20 D
score.
But it was a loosely played, coarsely
woven, half-baked, raw in the centre
ball game. The 700 fans who were in
yeigled into going out 10 the grounds
divided their time about equally be
tween cheering derisively at some weird
attempts and cheering enthusiastically
over some real hitting in the eighth
inning, when the verdict was clinched.
Packey Mcfarland once said that a
man who fights twenty rounds or more
has a strong back and weak head.

players with strong arms. Had I'd

back and strong arm as well, re-

advertising a certain brand of distilled
liquor i'm centre field, the Maps might
have been repealed without the saving
grace Of a run. Had several of the
Maps had the slightest idea of direction
some Of the half dozen runs scored by
New York might have been cut down.
But the Maps, led by Jay Kirkc,
didn't throw the ball with any idea Of
accuracy, and at the same time the
Yankees suddenly unmaSked their bat
teries and pitched into the delivery Of
Bill Steen. They got after him for
about eight hits. and these, with a
brace of errors, scored half dozen.

The gallery to-day followed Evans,
as IL Yesterday followed Ouimet when
he tied with Macdonald Smith, OF Oak

the day. and consequently only a few
golfers watched Tom Mcnamara top
the field at l45.
