Reds was a passive struggle. The game
was close enough, and short enough. but
the only one who became unduly excited
was Lew McCarty. Levi became rather
ruff1ed when Eddie Roush trampled all
over him trying to score on a double
steal In the third inning. n Lew spoke
harshly to Edward. Rube Benton also
bawlcd out Roush for his rudeness. but
Matty and several other Reds stepped

Rube Benton made his first public ap.

Benton was opposed by another south

four Giant errors. as It was indirectly

made his hrst National League error In

Cont-st Played Speedily.
The game was run Off In one minute
less than an hour and a half, as neither
pitcher used up time with useless base on
balls. The only one dished out was by
