J the third Punishment for McGrsw IN
the series. Snodgrass was also put
/ of but IL WAS only the second time
for him.
Signs Serve as Excuse.
For some time rooters have been
wondering just what IS the trouble
with the Giants, but McGrsws men
have succeeded IN isolsting the cause
without any outside assistance. Ihey
blame their slump on the signs. Birdie
Cree. of the Yankees, has faced the
same fences and hit for 345, but IN
some wav or other the retina OF the
National Lacquer is more sensitive
than that Of the man in Ban Johnson.s
circuit. The bright colors Of the ad-
vertisjng displays are the disturbing
factors, according to the players, put
this would seem TO be inaccurate. Most
observers are agreed that all the
trouble is caused by the reading mat
ter. Only Yesterday afternoon arthur
Fletcher became so absorbed in perusing
the merits of one of the advertised COM
uodities that he ran Snodgrass OF
second base Take also the case o.
Chief Movers. who was called upon 10
make q throw to second base. His at
tention WAS distracted by catching
line in a hosiery sd and he threw the
ball sll the way TO the fence.
But Christy Msthewson pitched the
6rst game. and Mstty does not be-
Iiev, in signs. Although he allowed a
Red 10 score on a wild pitch, 1t was
IN Q ery other respect 4 representative
contribution of the old master 70 pltcn-
ing art. Cincinnati hit him all the
time except at the right time. Two
sharp double plays aided IN shutting
of tsllies by the invaders.
The Giants took the lead IN the
second inning on Fletcher's single, q
triple by Merkle and a sacrifice fly BY
Meyers. Rube Benton had almost as
much speed as his motorcycle, but thu
Giants had little difficulty in hitting
him. He retired at length in favor o
Schneider, who made way for Hinglini
when the pinch hitting stage OF tn
game was reached Against finglin
- the Giants bstted hard, and made fou
. runs in the eighth, which put then
FL far out Of reach of the Reds, IN spit
~ of a halfhcarted rally by the visitor
IN the ninth.
Al Demaree Caves In.
Al Demaree began the second game
and for seven innings he seemed L
Dc inyincible In the eighth this illu
SION was dispelled. Just as in the
Opening encounter, New York jumped
into the lead. Doyle beat out hi
and took second on wild throw b!
Ames. lie reached third when Burn'
was thrown out by Herzog. Dave!
Robertson got scratch hit to Niehof
ard Dovle scored Then came fumbl
by Mollwitz Of Fletcher's grounder,
double steal which put Robertson
across the plate, and a double by Mer
lie which sent Fletcher across tn
plate.
Singles by Meyers, Stock and Beschei
accounted for the run in the seventh
Rat then came the eighth inning. Al
the scoring of the Reds was done witt
tyo out After one man had been re
tired, Mollwitz singled, and so die
Gonzales, but Burns made fine run
ming eateh Of Berghammer's liner close
10 the foul line. Bert Daniels, who
does not act = bit like an eX-Yankee
tripied. scoring his two teammates, anc
crossed the plate when Herzog doubled
rwombly sent the manager home with
= single and took second on the throw
IN. Niehof sent in the nth run.
The score follows:
