yo,,ye cot the right hunch about
those papers. Bill Wait till they PICK
a winner and then put your money on
the other boy. Disregard their one best
bets and view their gossip Of Wall
Street with deep suspicion.
Poll Perritt, for instance, has been
treated as roughly by the reporters as
~ he we're the Secretary Of State in
stead Of q right-hand pitcher. The fact
that he came here with Q reputation
male Il all the worse. But this same
Poll climbed the pitching mound yester-
day and shut out the Braves with four
hits. The Giants won from Boston by
score of to 0.
Hughes and Crutcher were hard hit,
but Bill James was able to check the
batting Of McGrsw's men after the
game had been safely won. The batting
Of the Giants was about as long as it
was broad. Three two-baggers, triple
and home run did much TO simplify
the problems of scoring.
The home run was made by Davey
Robertson, and it was a stupendous hit.
1t would be easy and pleasant to say
that Davey's homer was the longest hit
ever made on the grounds. That Is the
usual formula for every long hit, but,
as matter Of fact, Davey chose TO fol-
low the same route adopted by Ty Cobb
for a recent home run. Tvs hit fell be
tween the end of the stand and the
bleachers. Dsvey's just failed to carry
beyond the stand.
George Burns, whose batting has
been a matter of worry TO McGraw,
tried to ease the mind of the manager
this afternoon by making triple, a
double and single in three times az
the bat Fred Merkle did most of the
fielding Hughes. who began for the
Braves, was once a Yankee, and per-
haps this inspirited the Giants. At any
rate, they began in emphatic fashion.
Two innings were enough for
Hughes, and Crutcher was called in for
third. Two runs were scored against
him, and there might have been more
If he had not resigned in favor OF
James. After the coming of James the
Giants subsidized. There was nobody out
when the extensive young pitcher took
the mound, so he had practically six
innings Of service. In that time he al
lowed two hits.
With Johnny Evers squirting them
on the Braves showed a rallying ten
dercy in the later innings, hut nothing
much came of il except a deal Of
shouting and prancing around on the
bases.
The bases were filled with Bos-
tonians in the sixth, and Magee was
up. Two were out, and the slugger lost
an opportunity by hitting into an easy
force play. In the eighth there was
Brave on second and another on third
when two out was recorded, but Mer-
kle killed a scoring possibility by max
ing fine stop back Of first base and
tossing 10 Perritt in time to ct
Schmidt.
Snodgrass began the first inning
with a clean single 20 left field Burns
hit solidly 20 righ., and Snodgrass
stopped at second. Doyle switched the
attack back to left again and lifted
single there, which brought Snodgrass
home. Fletcher and Robertson struck
out, and Merkle lifted a fly for Fltz-
patrick.
The attack begun in the first inn
ing was pressed in the second After
Grant had famed Meyers doubled to
left. Poll Perritt is not much OF a mt
ter. but he met the ball solidly this
time and drove it even be"ond the
mark reached by Meyers. II was an
other double, and the Chief scored.
Burns brought the pitcher home with
q triple 10 centre.
TYLER hit for Hughes in the third
and Crutcher came in TO- pitch. He
began by hitting Fletcher, but ample
revenge was exacted for this. Robert
son, the next man up. drove the ball
into the right field end of the grand
stand. Merkle singled 20 centre and
went 70 second on Grant, hit TO left
James cane in and checked further
scoring. Meyers hit into double
play. from Fitzpatrick TO Meanwhile
TO Schmidt. and the pitcher tossed
