Box, Win Their Second

LARRY DOYLE HAS ONE
OF HIS GOOD DAYS
Bob Bescher Stars at Bat, Get
ting Three Hits Out of Four
Trips to the Plate.
Bv REDWOOD BROUN.

Unfortunately il takes two to make
a crucial series. and the Cubs VIII not
do their part. Hank ODay's men
can't seem 20 realize that they are
taking mart IN the sixteenth decisive
hattie of the world. The Giants won
the second successive game OF tne
present campaign yesterday and a, Glo
II with both ease and grace. Inc
score was 8 70 0.
Apparently the Cubs put men on
bases simply 20 set the stage toi
double PLAYS The work OF the IN
field in these wholesale transactions
was easily the feature of the DAY
Dovle was the incepting force upon
two occasions, while the third tol-
lowed a great stop by Fletcher lar 10
his right. Il may be true that per
son can only do one thing at a tune
well. but this rule does not hold ior
Larry Doyle on his good days.
In the fourth inning, with man on
first base, Knisely raped a SLOW mop
per toward the captain OF the 1lan'
and Doyle, charging forward at lulI
speed. scooped up the ball and swung
IL on 70 the runner with moIlVn
tbat was not broken by a single
flicker. Only the incest adJus,mehV
OF ball, runner and baseman made She
plav possible, and then 1t required
Larry DOYLE TO make IL actual bnI
on t6e whole no great strain was laid
unon the defence of the Giants. JeH
Tesreau had his usual speed and his
baf9inr spitbaH. coupled with control
as well. The Cubs made only three
hits.
Jimmy Lavender is in favor of hav-
inc tbe FIRST innings Of baseball games
omitted The first was his only bad
inning Yesterday. In that round ne
allowed three hits, and in the next
seven innings only three more. "ele
made. L....r
Rob Rescher was the best batter
~ the dav. getting three hits out OF
four times al the bat, and one OF ms
drives was a triple As a matter OF
fact he got TO base every time up
for Tommy Leach gave him a lie IN
the first inning by mufing a ny.
The Giants were quick 10 take ad-
vantage of the opportunity. Doyle
drove short line single TO centre'
and Bescher went TO second oaSe'
Rill Sweeney thought he would make
a smart plav and endeavored TO sneak
ali the wav over to first base IN order
20 catch Dovle mapping, but while he
st;u ENGAGED in this hanking
movement Burns raped the pan
tbrouqb the usual beat Of Sweeneys,
and the second baseman being absent
the homer was a hit, which scored
Bescher and sent Doyle to secohd'
on a hit and run play Sweeney was
again drawn out of position, and koo-
eTtson drove the ball to right held.
Dovle scored. but Burns was out at
third on a fine throw from Good 10
Zimmerman. -,
The other tally for New York came
in the third inning, when Bescner
made the outfielders race to the fence
while he cantered 10 third on mt
10 left centre. After Doyle had gone
out on an inheld tap and Burns nad
walked Davey Robertson hfteo 10
deep centre field and Bescher scored
The afternoon served to solVe one
mystery. Since the decree OF oanlsh-
ment was passed against McGraW ne
had not been seen. lhere "ele Ii"Ss 10
~ possible disguise. as well as
vaque rumors that a loud buzzlng as
- from an aeroplane high aloft had
been heard above the Polo Grounds:
some suggested that the reported
noise might have been caused simply
nv McGraw giving his opinion Of the
merits of Byron and Johnson. But
in none of these theories is there any
truth whatever.
McGraw saw every play Of the game
lust as well as any rooter IN the
IS cent bleachers, for he stood behind
a door in deep right centre. Posi-
blv ne wigwagged signs from this
great distance and photographed mes
ssges TO the umpires, but as far as
could be seen everything was left in
the hands Of the composite board of
strategy.
The score follows:
