The answer 10 the schoolbook in
ouiry. How big was Alexander, pa y
was supplied at the Polo Grounds yes
terday.
With JEFF Tesreau's soupbone boiled
TO perfect suppleness and the phright-
ened Phillies piling the errors with
reckless abandon, he was not great
enough to stop the rush of the Giants.
In the seventh the Giants swept
Alex from the mound in little pieces
and. gathering up the fragments,
PASSED them TO Patrick Aloysius
Moran. saying: Here's your shutout
pitcher; where do you want him put 2!
Il was a calamatous afternoon for
the Phillies. Amid the plaintive bark
ing Of the Cod Fish of Cape Cod, the
rambunctious Robins made a forced
march on Back Bay and took couple
Of games from the Braves. This piece
of strategy stencilled Flatbush back
on the pennant map and bumped the
phluttering Phillies.
In the face of these disasters Mr..
Moran, who is reputed a God-fearing
person, proceeded TO pray for rain to
prevent a double header. The rain
came in buckets with the ninth inning
partly over and the Phillies in the
throes Of what seemed to be batting
rally.
Patrick Moran had placed the shat
tered Alexander under shelter after
that tumultuous seventh inning. The
storm was nearing break and Moran
began TO fear that Alex might be hi:
bv a thunderbOlt, as he seemed such an
easy mark for hits that fateful after
noon. Most Of the Giants had at least
one swipe at him.
Giants Real Hostile.
The Giants showed evidences Of hos
tilitv as early as the first inning.
Herzoe took the first punch at the
greatest of the pitchers, single TO
right field. Robertson swatted one to
the same territory and got to second
when Gavvy Cravath's feet started to
interfere. After Heinie Zimmerman
had popped to Luderus Fletcher went
into action with some real discourage
ment for Alex. He laced one 10 dis
tant left for triple, scoring Herzog
and Robertson.
In the third inning the Giants piled
up three more hits upon the owner OF
the Mightiest Soupbone, but they
could not pull a run across. Burns,
Zimmerman and Robertson were the
persons who disparaged the greatness
OF Alexander at this particular point.
The Phillies showed a little pher-
ocity in the fourth. Stock fell upon
JEFF Tesreau, the bear hunter Of the
Ozarks. and smote him for a double
Cravath laced him for duplicate
double, scoring Stock. But the bear
hunter grabbed few fresh handfuls
of dirt and began TO put something
on the ball again.
In the fifth inning Stocks error
started the anguish for Pat Moran.
Stock made one Of those eccentric
heaves Of a poke from Herzog, AMI
by the time the ball was retrieved
Buck was cooling his heated heels a.
third. Then came Davy Robertson,
the particular scoffer at Alexander.
David bounced one off the left field
stands for a double, scoring Herzog.
Zim a Perfect Marksman.
When Zimmerman came TO bat he
perceived that Mr.. Niehof was con
torting his legs until they were bowe
into semblance Of the first
arch Of Brooklyn Bridge or the moro
famous arch made by the underpin-
ming OF Honus Wagner. Heinie took
careful aim and bounced grounder
through the arch, scoring Robertson
and drawing a hand for his perfect
workmanship.
The .Phillies scored one in this in
ming. also. Il was accomplished by
Bancroft, unassisted. Mr.. Bancroft
caught the hear hunter mapping and
poked one into the right field grand
stand.
The complete generalization Of
the phinished Phillies occurred in the
seventh. Burns started the session
with q double 20 left field. Herzog
contributed a sacrifice 20 the after
Moons entertainment. Luderus FUN
bled a bounder from Robertson and
Burns scored.
At this moment the Mightiest Soup
bone appeared 20 creak on its hinges.
Zimmerman singled to right sending
Robertson 20 third. Fletcher doubled
L
the violet Of the Giants. Benjamin
Kauf. He poked out long, decisive
single 20 centre and scored Zimmerman
and Fletcher.
This was the last appearance OF Alex
ander for the afternoon. The writing
on the wall read Sufficient" and Coop
or was put in 20 bat for the Mighty
One.
JEFF Knocks Home Run.
NJ Oeschgcr appeared on the mound
in the eighth in place Of the Hope Of
Philadelphia. The Bear Hunter Of the
Ozarks was the first man TO face him.
In order 20 demonstrate that he was
feeling right in every particular Tes-
rcau shot one from Mr.. Oeschger right
into the grandstand for a homer. Mr.
Ocschger gave him very nasty look
FOR 10.
By this time the sky was beginning
