SIX RUNS IN FOURTH
FINISH EPPA RIXEY
Polo Grounders Get Busy
with Bats - TeSreau
Wins Under Wraps.
By w. o. MCCLELLAN.

The Giants slammed the sledge down
on the wedge that they have been driv-
ing into the bleeding flank of the Phil
lies at the Polo Grounds yesterday.
With Big jeff Tesreau working rather
languidly, they took loose and larrup-
ing game by the generous score or
TO 4, making 1t four straight.
As the last of the Pills Aoated one
into the thin air Patrick Aloysius Mo-
ran fastened 70 the bench where his
respondent athletes were sitting, with
their chins on their knees. Hurry,
boys" said Patrick. "Lets get out of
this before they take our socks.
They've got everything else we had
There was some occasion for the bit
terness in the tones Of the great Ysnko-
Hibernsn. He came TO the Polo
Grounds commander of the leading
team Of the National League, with two
pitchers who had been making various
ballplayers look like blind balloons.
He left the place with his chin dropping
down on his chest and the jeers of the
Flatbushers ringing in his ears.
Eppa Jephtha Rixey started for the
/ invaders and finished in the fourth
inning, during which session calamity
piled upon calamity for the former
| league leaders. Twelve earnest swats-
men of the Giants went after Eppa Jeph-
| tina in a compact body. They stepped
over his slender frame with their
spiked shoes. and when the period was
over and Rixey had recovered con
seriousness in the visitors dugout six
large and juicy runs had been shot
over
"Who threw the bomb ?" was all that
Eppa Jephths could murmur through
his set, blue lips.
How II All Happened.
The disaster, as far as can be ascer-
tanned from reliable eyewitnesses, oc-
Cured in this fashion,:
Fletcher poked one to Bancroft, who
made a wild heave to first, letting the
runner arrive. Benjamin B. Kauf, OF
whom We shall hear more anon, walked.
Holke, one of the sweetest place hit
tiers that ever turned bat. laid bunt
down TO third, beat it and crowded
the corners.
There was nobody out, and somehow
in the crisp, autumlal atmosphere
Rixey seemed TO sense his impending
doom. He gave Bill Rariden a nice
one, and William hoisted it toward the
fence beyond which rolls the silvery
Harlem. Paskert was after 1t and
made wild attempt 20 reach it on the
f hop, but the ball rolled on for a clean
/ three-bagger. Fletcher. Kauf and
Holke came tearing home.
After Tesreau had been thrown out
and Burns had been passed Buck Her
zog laced out hit TO centre, scoring
Rariden and putting Burns on third.
D George Whitfield, the Tar Heel Terror,
/ robbed Davy Robertson of hit by a
/ tine running catch. Put Heinie Zim-
norman, next up for the Giants, shot
q single 70 centre, scoring Burns and
Herzog.
Rixey Taken Out.
At this point in the carnage Patrick
Aloysius Moran sent out the field am
bulance to drag RiXey's remains TO the
field dressing station. Oscar Ole Oesch-
ger, the bold Scandinavian, was sent TO
the rescue.
Right at the start Oscar Ole pulled
what might almost be considered a twin
bone TO the world famous bone of Fred
Merkle. There were two out when
Fletcher, in an attempt TO sidestep,
hunted one right out to Oscar Ole.
Fletcher started on the perfunctory
trip to first, not doubling for a moment,
though, that Oeschger would toss him
out at the bag. But none Of that ordi-
nary, every day stuff for Oscar ole.
To throw TO first with two out was the
obvious thing. But Oscar Ole is not
for the obvious stuff, no, not Oscar ole
Oeschger, the bold Scandinavian.
Oscar Ole threw to Stock TO cut Zim-
norman at third. Stock was so sur
prised at the originality Of Oscar ole
that he stood for a moment bewildered
at the brilliancy of intellect displayed
by a mere ball player. While he stood
transfxed with admiration or some
thing Heinie Zim crawled under his
quaking knees and reached third.
Oscar Ole looked in the direction Of
Patrick Aloysius Moran for some token
Of recognition for this piece of rapid
fire thinking The look that Patrick
gave him would have slain any other
mortal at a thousand yards. but not
Oscar ole. the bold Scandinavian. He
proceeded on his own original course,
hcaving a short wild pitch and letting
letcher get TO second.
The ferocious demeanor OF Benjamin
| B. Kauff. the violet, dazed Oscar ole n
trife and he gave him four balls. Holke
ended the screaming agony of Patrick
Aloysius Moran with fly TO Whitfield.
Bear Hunter Tires.
Jeff Tesreau, the weary bear hunter
of the Ozarks, began 10 show dangerous
signs of fatigue in the seventh. With
! Cravath out, Whitfield. Luderus and
! Bancroft pounced upon the nimrod for
a swipe apiece, the first named scoring.
Good, batting for Burns. the Phillie
backstop, was beaned by wild heave
from the willing Tesresu. Cooper, bat
ting for the original Oscar Ole Oesch-
ger, bumped hit from the paw of the
tcar hunter and scored Luderus.
Dode Paskert forced Cooper, and
Buck Herzog. in his anxiety 10 COM
