bsrsn. Unquestionably New York is
largely AZ fault. Just because Brook
Iyn had many weaknesses was no rea-
son why they should be played upon.
The city across the river deserved
sympathy. not scorn.
Tverv new baseball writer in Man
haitian has cut his reportorlal eye teeth
on Brooklyn jokes. Whenever the IL
hretts, Of a comic opera could not
piece anything sparkling about Bryan
and grape juice. he would turn TO
Brooklvn. Il was a perpetual set piece
for comic papers. And now Brooklyn
Will pay and pay and pay.
As In the case Of trade, balance
N rumos must come sooner or later.
l. IS impossible that New York should
laugh az Brooklyn forever and ever
Bv and by New York must become
the butt until the laughs are equal on
each side.
Much was done TO restore the bal
arce yesterday. The vain efforts OF the
Giants 20 hit Pfefer furnished no end
OF amusement. The big right handler
worked easily. Il did not seem nearly
a. much effort for him 20 throw the
bal across the plate as il was for the
Giants 10 swing and swing.
Tie hitting Of Daubert nd Wheat
and Nummel wiped off the slate any
amount of ancient where's concerning
rubber plants and baby carriages. The
fielding Of Getz and Of Cutshaw was
excellent enough to inspire every man
c. Brooklyn with renewed self-respect.

Hank ODay had to face the crowd
alone. 3. Orth. his Empirical associate,
developed trouble with an injured knee
during the second inning and was com

Stroud began the game for the
Giants and he was forced into retire
ment. His arm, rather than his knee,
Was az fault. At that Stroud had a
loag period Of effectiveness. He was
go0l ..om the second inning until the
sixth. inclusive. He began badly in
the first and ended poorly in the
seventh.
Schsuer succeeded him and allowed
one ruH lu the eighth. Until the ninth
the Giants had hit Pfeffer just three
times, but in the final inning they
made a three-hit rally. 1t was not
strong enough 10 cause Brooklyn any
great amount Of worry.
Brooklyn scored twice in the first
inning. and the fault was chiefly
Stroud's. he began by hitting Myers.
ne blow was soon avenged. OMara
singled 10 right, and Darlington, upon
SEEING the ball, cut loose as wild
throw as ever a young outtielder made.

between third and home, but since no
one was in that region the ball rolled
70 the stand and O'Mara went to sec
