scored his fourth victory over the
Giants. The score was I 70 O.
Al worked In a short sleeyed shirt.
There was nothing concealed up his
sleeve, and surely nothing could Be
concealed IN that little. close ittirg
cap that surmOunted his brow. And
his cherubic smile instantly dsarmed
all suspecting persons. or course Ne
Graw harbOred 2 feeling that an was
not as represented. but that is one OF
his Characters Bur a man may
smile and smile and sti.l be a villain.
Mamsux's manner was one OF
straightforwardness. Bu. his curves
were darting, twisting. serpentine con-
traptions Of evil that defcd the simnle
methods Of the Giants in most remark
able fashion. Three hits just count
them, one. two, three, just that way
( lighted the path Of the Giants and led
them into the batting averages Hans
/ LODert was absolutely reckless in his
| daring. He got two of these bingles,
and Babbling Babbington. the only Phi
| Beta Kappa man in the big leagues,
/ pinch hit for Natty and got a single
/ in the eighth inning. So are the al.
/ vantages Of higher education i'm
/ pressed upon mere ball players. IN
moment of abstraction Namaux issued
base on balls.
Nor was il by means Of pitching skill
alone that MamauX proved himself
lion in the fight He accounted for
/ two Of the runs made by his team
batted them over, # you please. One
/ he drove home on the wings Of a sac
rifce fly. the other By iacIng out
single. Thus did he refute the theory
/ that a pitcher is only a pitcher.
/ Unhittable pitching and a rock
ribbed defence Is a combination 70 VIII
almost any ball game. The Giants
/ found themselves confronted by both,
and there could be only one result.
Not an error marred the card for the
Pirates. There was Hans Wagner,
whose every day on the diamond only
adds 10 his effectiveness. He rOsmed
all over the field, scooping up the bal.
in that hungry. greedy paw OF his.
Beside him there was Jimmy Eiox, who
was a his best. and nothing had
chance TO get by.
& Douglas Fqird. the Young third base
man. was the particular luminary IN
+ the Pirate constellation In three times
at the bat he tore off two singles and
+ a two-bagger. and his one-handei eaten
of line drive by Brainerd vas a
classic. It robbed the Giants first
haseman Of a sure triple. George Gio.
son was another sluCger. He gathered
two bingles in three times Up. one
of his singles should have been good
for two bases. but then George never
was a sprlnter.

fered bv comparison 10 NamauX les-
