trouNOs yesterday ny score or TO o.
They bea, the Reds. and this. the lates,
OF their periodical wins, was put across
In Clutnous going caused by an after
noon OF steady rain. Games played on
heavy fields and on damp days more
often than not are fiat and lustreless.
but there was lots going on In yester-
days viscid environment. II was a fea-
tureful contest, OF frequent scoring. plen-
teous in hitting. close and unusually good
fielding. which was still more so because
the ball was Shiny and hard TO handle.
AS has been said. there was good
deal going on. Messrs. Benton and Moll-
wiz were among those who went on.
They went 10 the clubhouse when they
We're elected by Byron for kicking.
These two Reds ragged and gnashed their
teeth over a decision In the seventh in
ming. Benton wasn't in the game at
all. at least not until that moment when
he gave vent TO a rave or two. but owing
to Byron's prompt action was short
lived nuisance. Herzog didn't enter the
Kick any deeper than to gesticulate and
promenade from third 10 the plate with
BYRON and the finger which jostled Rig

off points in behalf of the defendant.
The Reds hit Matty hard In two Diff
ferent innings and created as many
scares for the home folk. They con-
centrated hits on the old fellow in the
third and ninth and were not far from
the tying run when the game ended.
Nevertheless Matty did a share OF clever
pitching. lie went at II more like his
former self than in any other game this
year, asserting his service. doing well
with his change of pace and having the
was OF bullseye kind.
The Giants won by gaffng Dale rs
hard as the Reds cuffed Matty and by
superior fielding. Their fielding was eX-
cellent. and the stops and throws OF Lo-
bert in front OF and TO the rear of the
tertiary lodge were varied and flashing.
Hein.e Groh was star there himself
but Henie went into eclipse once TO the
extent OF New York run and didn't
have n clean. shining slate as did Honus
Between them. however, the two herren
gave glossy display of third base
Workmanship.
Lively double plays and good throwing
from the outfield helped 10 sustain ac-
ton. but on the Red side there was field
ing enough OF the other extreme in the
seventh inning for the Giants to add n
winning number OF runs. This was made
possible by the batting OF Burns and
Lobert and because the Cincinnati de-
fence stove in at first base. The Reds
missed Mollwitz greatly just then. Kill
lifcr made the same blunders as on the
day before. While Giants were running
TO first and the ball was being thrown
there to sidetrack them he couldn't find
the footrest with his feet. What Killifer
needs to make his first base play effec-
tive isn't base but "A mattress.
Lobert scooped mean grounders batted
by Leach and Groh In the first inning
and when IL came his turn to bat he shot
two Dagger past Groh. Honus played
all sorts of mischief around third. When
Fletcher grounded to Groh for an easy
play Heinie fumbed with Lobert on top
OF him and fatuously threw to first in
stead Of getting Honus in run up
lack wit play by Groh and one that
meant a run, for Lobert and Fletcher

poor handling OF the ball by Olson
Brainard doubled in the second He
led OFF, but would have been left II an
error hadn't come to his relief Neither
Meyers nor Murray did anything, but
Matty walked and Burns singled. Wag.
ner made a wonderful stop of the hit,
but in trying to force Matty threw wild
and Brainard ran home
The Reds trafficked In tallies and base
hits in the third and all after two had
been put out, Dale singled to short,
Leach to left and Groh hit a sizzling
home run across the centre field lots.
The score came to tie In the sixth on
a single by Fletcher, an infield out and
