making a Roman holiday in both ends
of a double-header for the edifcation
of Pat Moran's worshippers.
New York may have played worse
game than that spilled all over Braves
Field this afternoon, but If so It
escapes the memory of the oldest in
habitant. The play Of the visitors
wasn't bad; it was absolutely putrld
and confined to no particular spot.
Benny Kauff partially atoned for
earlier vices with home run clout TO
the flag pole in the ninth inning. The
swat was registered off the delivery OF
Tom Hughes, injected into the fray
when Pat Ragan's guild began to over
balance him. The Giants had both
Raglan and Hughes on the run several
times, but absolutely refused 70 accept
a gift.
Fred Anderson pitched pretty fair
ball. but unfortunately he had to be
mixed up in a bit Of the nonsensical
fielding that ruined the cause OF the
visitors. As damaging as the hobbies
and slip-ups on defence was whole
lot OF senseless base running. WITH
average support and average lntelll-
gence on the bases New York might
have won easily without depending on
a circuit smash by Ksuff TO save itself
from the ignominy OF shut-out.
The Giants encouraged the Braves
with one run in the first inning. Snod-
grass singled with one out. Chappelle

This should have filed the bases, but
Kauf rounded second with his head
down and ran Zimmerman of third
base. Rariden tapped TO Egan for the
third out.
Anderson singled beginning the third,
but was caught stealing as Burns
famed. Maranvlle then fumbled on
Robertson. but Herzog struck out. Sin

fourth. Kelly was caught on an at
tempted double steal. Burns singled
and stole with two gone in the NTH.
Snodgrass saved trouble when he made
a wonderful one-handed catch Of Rob
ertson's line drive. In the sixth, after
two had died. Fletcher hit safely and
raced 20 third on Kauff's single. Kelly
popped 70 Meanwhile.
But New York's seventh was a mighty
tough break. McCarty, batting for
Rariden, got a hit. Anderson sacrl-

on the part of Anderson. Tom Hughes,
who gets one hit regularly every year,
opened with a double 20 right. Maran-

son chucked the ball 20 third base.
Hughes hadn't moved off second, and
no one was put out. This put Ander-
