GIANTS BEATEN
ONCE MORE BY
BROOKLYN TEAM
Lose Seventh Straight
Game, Sinking Deeper
Into Last Place.
MATTY AGAIN FAILS
TO CHECK ASSAULT
Fifteen Thousand Fans See Some
Prodigies of Baseball Ere
the Game Is Ended.

The Giants were beaten For tie
seventh consecutive time McGraw was
forced to dip his colors, end, judged
from the standard OF play at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon, the end is
not ye..
Fifteen thousand fans saw the Brook
lyn Superbas smash the lines of their
transporting rivals and win by score
of 7 to g. It was a battle that played
upon the he;rt strings of the fans.
The Superbas, overcoming a lead Of
three runs, forged to the front, only
to have the Giants oyertake and pass
them again. BIT Brooklyn ose to the
occasions and, hurting fresh spirit into
the fray, rallied again and WOE.
The effectiveness of the brooklyn =
tack swept to ono side the skill OF
Matty. II. the field, with the exception
of the fifth inning, the Brooklyn men
performed prodig.es of baseball, and
cut down drives billed for the fences
in a manner most discouraging TO the
Giants.
In the fifth, it is true, Billy thinner
man lost Lobert's drive in the dazzling
sun, and a three base hit resulted.
Since ,nodgrass was on base at the
time q run scored. And this score was
augment b another when Fletcher
singled, sending Lobert over the plate.
Not My did the Superoas play with
all the pepper of champions, but Fat
Raglan, w.o replaced Ed Appleton on
the rubber, pitched one of his good
games, and Raglan a his best is a
match for them all. Certain it is he
was at his best yesterday.
Just three hits were made off his
delivery in eight and one-third innings
he worked, and had Zimmerman been
able to follow the Irse OF Loberts
drive in tn sun he might not have
been scored on, but victory covers a
multitude of sins.
Ed Appleton, the youngster from
Fort Worth, who pitched the Superbas
to their first victory over the Giants,
and their first victory OF the season,
tried to duplicate his performance, but
in vain. Ed lasted just one-third of
the first inning. In that short but
eventful space Of time he was nicked
for three hits, one a wind blow Ay by
Larry Doyle, which went for two
Dagger, and gave a couple of bases on
balls.
This rather bounteous contribution
to the cause was used by the Giants
for three runs, and right then Robbie
reminded the Texan that he was on the
Brooklyn pay roll. Also Robbie sent
Raglan into the box, and with what ef-
feet has been told.
1t was not that the Superbas dubbed
Matty off the rubber. Full many 6
game has been won By the Old Master
in which he was more harshly treated
in point Of hits, but in this instance he
was not up to the task of keeping the
hits of the enemy scattered.
The presence of the Brooklyn runner
on the lines was accepted by his mates
as sign that a few hits were needed
to bring him home, and generally he
was brought home.
Eight safeties we're gathered off Mat
~. Three of these fell to the lot of
George Cutshaw. Ollie O'Mara picked
down two, while the others were made
by Jake Daubert, Buck Wheat and
Pat Ragan. Pat made his hit left
handed He hits golf ball from the
other side and hits pretty far.
George Cutshaw was one of the most
enthusiastic workers in the Brooklyn
cause. OF the seven runs scored Cut
shaw was directly COncerneu IN no
fewer than five. To begin with, he
drove two home in the seventh inning
with his clean single to left centre, put
two men on third with his other two
hits, from which they subsequently
scored, and then crossed the plate him
self Jake Daubert's single in the third
frame drove home Raglan, and when
Snodgrass threw wild TO the plate
OMara dashed all the way around.
The Giants played loosely in the field
in streaks, and then, chameleon-like
would take on the appearance OF
worlds champions as they roved about,
taking care Of any and every thing.
Dave Robertson made a wonderful
catch on Lew McCarty in the eighth
inning, and sent the Brooklyn catcher
back TO the bench shaking his head and
muttering. Matty made a great stop in
the sixth that pulled him out of hole
With two men on bases Zimmerman
smashed a drive through the box which
Matty knocked down and fielded just
in time.
In the first inning Snodgrass coaxed
a pass from Appleton and scored on
Doyle's double. Lobert went out, but
Fletcher drew pass, and Doyle
counted while Fletcher moved to third
on a drive by Burns. Fletcher scored
