work was not without distinction. Fol-
lowing close ON their wonderful effort
or the day before, the Giants played
the worst game in either league. One
error after another In the latter part
OF the battle with the Phillies so nulli-
hed their heroic start that fans over
looked the fact that Demaree was
pitching two hit game. The Giants
might as well have had three times
that many. The result would have
been the same.
Fred Anderson, former Fed, made
his debut before a New York crowd
and In a New York uniform. And IL
was not entirely his fault that the
Phillies won. lie is a cool bird-that
boy Given IA little better support and
he should turn IN a good share of
victories.
Tho Phillies may have their faults,
rs was proved In the big series last
fall, but IL cannot be denied that they
are quick thinkers. One of the
smartest plays OF the year was pulled
on tho Giants right at the start of
the game. costing us at least two
runs. With runners on first and sec
ond and none out, Eddie Roush was
ordered to sacrifice. The former Fed
rolled a perfect bunt toward third.
Without n moments hesitation Mil
ton Stock pounced on the ball and,
instead OF looking at first. whipped II
over his shoulder to third. In the
mean time, anticipating the play,
Bancroft had run over from short and
covered the bag. The play was exc
cuted so quickly and surprisingly that
kauff, who had been on second, was
an easy force out, and the beautiful
bunt had gone for naught. This play
evidently had been carefully planned.
Stock In deaf and could not have
heard an order given quickly. He
he started for the ball. So did Ban
croft. That kind OF machine work
wins pennants.
In a later inning. with the score
| tied, the Philliss pulled the old
| squeeze play on the Giants and got
away with IL.
| With Bancroft on third and one out,
! Gabby Cravath hunted straight to
the pitchers box. In the mean timo
Bancroft had started from third with
the swing and was within eight feet
OF the plate when Anderson picked
up tho ball. Seeing that II was use
less to throw to the catcher, Ander-
son whirled around to make "A peg to
, first, but. 10 and behold. nobody was
covering tho bag! Merkle had come
in to assist in tieldins the bunt, and
tho whole club was caught fiatfooted.
The injury to Sherwood Magee Is
likely to be "a severe blow to the
chances of the Braves. His heavy
hitting had won three games for
them when he was hit on the wrist
