GREAT BASEBALL IDOL
Bad ha bits. like evil companions. are
often mighty hard to shake. The Giants
seem to have contracted the unhappy
faculty, this season, OF booting away
extra ming games. They lost the f'th
one OF the season at the Polo oun
Yesterday afternoon to George Stallinsss
scrappy Braves. The score was ! To b.
and the wreck anne in the tenth inhinR.
Not even the grand Old Master.
Christy Mathcwson. could lead the Iost
tribe of McGraw out of the wilderness or
lost opportunity. Matty pitched the fun
ten innings and. on the whole. pitched
with n promise Of happier fate when
the summer heat further ~perneates his
gallant bones. BIG Six was not the
steam roller OF old. it ,s. true. Yet he
o~utgamed and outm1nuuvrc IeitN
TYLER. the seasoned southpaw or George
etallings. who is hut n stripping In com
parison TO christy in point Of service.
The Giants knocked Lefty Tyler out OF
the box IA the ninth Inning That is
more than Boston could accomplish
against Natty, even though they got a
four run lead 10y batting clear around IN
the very first inning.

the run that spelled defeat for Matty on
his first attempt at "A comeback.
