Erwin Kantlehner, left handler who
starts his overland pitches from his
right hip. was TO blame for the fact
that the Giants didn't win themselves
a ball game. lie held the Giants to
seven hits that were well strung out
along the route. McGraw had shaken
IN his batting order, but it didn't make
any difference 10 Kantelner-or now
ever YOU spell IL. lie evidently diuh
understand that when batting orueI Is
rearranged the batters are supposed 10
bat. Ignorance Of ethics causes lou Oh
trouble.
Ralph Stroud was the pitcher for the
town bows. and he happened to be no
SLOUGH of a pitcher. He was somewhat
the victim of scratch hits-hits That
we're clearly hits, but which would have
been outs had the luck been with
Stroud. But, again, he was somewhat
aided by sparkling fielding:
Take the second inning, for instance.
Hinchman's double was fly TO rlght
that Robertson got hand on DuI
failed to hold. Wagner sent weak
roller toward third Grant waited Tor
it 10 roll out 1T laid course down
the foul line as straight as that OF
ball player going to the cashier Ou'
slower and bumped INTO third base,
fair Hinchman was on the bag when
the ball got there. and Wagner was
safe at tirst. McCarty singled to rgnt,
scoring Hinchman and putting Wagner
Stroud settled and Baird grounded to
Dovle who threw out Wagner at the
plate. Gibson popped "a fly over Doyie'
who made a great running eaten, nab
hing the ball while running with ms
back 10 the stand. Baird thought IT was a
hit, and was easily doubled OH hfst,
ending the inning.
The second. and winning, PlttsOurgn
run came in the third. kanth-what-
ever ms name ls-fOuled out. carey
and Collins singled. Johnston walked,
and the bases were filled. hlnchmdn
sacrifice fv scored Carey, sending Col
Tne 70 third. Johnston and Collins
started an inoppOrtune double steal
while Stroud held the ball, and Collins
was out at the plate.
The single Giant run came IN the
fourth. Johnston made great eaten
of Robertson's grounder and put HIM
out. Doyle singled Merkle forced
him at second, and took an extra base
when McCarty threw wild. Fletcher,
hating an ignominious sixth Tor the
FIRST time this year. singled, scoring
DOYLE. Brainerd grounded out.
After the fourth inning the Giants
were not near the plate. Even Nelly
failed again. McGraw has used Kelly
in nine games, and Kelly still has yet to
make a hit. He is big, and swings
nightly. He hits some Of the incest
flies ever caught. Up in The Northwest
en League he was fence buster, but
the link is on him here. McGraw sends
him in as a pinch hitter almost every
dav. under the impression that Kelly
certainly is due. Kelly has grounded
and flied and struck out for some OF
the best talent In the big leagues. lie
has gone 20 bat for Perritt and Matty
and Doom and Brainerd and Grant And
also for Kelly. And Brainerd and Grant
have batted for Kelly.
Kelly is responsible for one of the
worst jokes that is sprung at the Polo
Grounds these days.
Some one speaks Of some other bat
ter's performance.
"He got a hit, didn't he?" he in
quires.
"Yes," comes the answer, "like Kelly
did"
Kelly is hard working, willing
young man, and some day he's going to
whale the hide off the ball Everybody
at the Polo Grounds is pulling for him.
He shoots toward left field and if the
Irish gnomes are watching over him
his first hit will be a home run. Or
he may hit the sign and get motor
car.
The Giant squad of pinch hitters is
not a formidable lot these days. Nc
Graw could use handily somebody who
could hit the way Snodgrass and Muir
