The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-07-11

There's never anything colorless or
halfway about Larry Doyle. He makes
his personality and method hit you
whether favorabiy or un~favorably.
There's a swing of the shoulders which
stands out whether he's playing good
ball or bad. There's a Larry Doyle
individuality about ii. He has a virile
way with him. Yesterday Larry carved
runs with his stick. The Giants scored in
three different innings and Doyle's clang-
ing spear had a lot to do with each
roundup. The Giants beat the Reds. 7
to 3. and Doyle was the biggest reason
for the beating.
Tesreau has pitched better games. He
was hit steadily and hard for a stretch
OF three innings. but halted the Reds
before they came close enough to tie
the score. However. the big fellow
didn't seem to he pitching with ease
or to have his spitball breaking right.
although he was better in the last three
innings han In the middle three. He
hadn't "A great deal TO fret over. The
Giants set out with two runs. thanks
mostly 10 Doyle's three bagger. and
Larry led a scoring revival whenever
IL was necessary to add to the score
10 convince the Reds that. try as they
would. the Giants could make more runs.
With Doyle to slam the Giants well
out to the front again every time the
Reds spurted. the latter seemed TO lose
heart after two spirited attempts to
wipe out the New York lead. Any
way. they were tame in the last three
periods. Robertson was a convenient
ally of Doyle's, His hitting wasn't az
sensational as Larry's nor as climactic,
hut II was Indispensable in laying the
foundation for scoring structures.
Ire ardor with which Robertson and
Doyle cracked Benton's pitching made
his effectiveness against such sterling
hitters as Fletcher and Merkle Of no
avail. The Rube made these two Giants
look like marmosets. He had them
shackled. also Snodgras. whereas with
Doyle and Robertson and TO a lesser
degree Lobert and Tesreau. the situa-
ton was reversed. Those four had him
solved.
The first New York hit was a scratch.
Burns took a full swing. but dribbled q.
dead grounder toward third. which OIL
son fell against, but couldn't field. Rob-
ertson sacrificed and Doyle slipped a
hasty three Dagger to left. scoring Burns.
Fletcher's grounder to Mollwitz was
fumbled and although Fletcher was
tagged on the line DOYLE scored. Moll-
WITT was hurt. hut was soon on his feet
again. with his incessant and discordant
chatter. He outparrots a parrot.
Lobert made a hit in the second in
ming and was forced by Meyers. He
was forced because Hart said so. The
fact that he beat the ball to second was
immaterial, That was one weird de-
cision by Hart. Another was In the
sixth inning. He called Tommy Leacn
out stealing, although Tommy was SIT
ting on the bag when touched. Harris
work in this series has been dccid-
edly poor, but the players have kept
their heads and lone no violent kick
ing.
Tesrcau travelled n humping road in
the third. fourth, NTH and sixth in
nings. \ muffed fly in the third with
two out was the starter. Iobcrt en-
croached on Fletchers territory and tried
to catch half of the ball while Fletcher
caught the other half. He must have
had some new notion about each get
ting a put out. There was 10 other
rational reason for his butting in. The
result was "A muff and an error which
Lobert shared with nobody. II was
Beuton's fly that was muffed n "A

made the hit. Doyle's fine stop kept 1t
from reaching the clear and held Ben

out Benton at the plate.
