McGraW's Famous Pitch
ing Duo Perform
Against Pirates.

Pittsburgh, July 10 Shortly before
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon Umpire
Quigley doTed his blue silkaline
cap and, turning 10 the three thousand
fans who sat in the grandstand at
Forbes Field, announced in s;entorlsn
tones: 81 he batteries Tor Ne" 10Th are
Schauer and Rariden.
Having made that announcement, ne
cast furtive glance at the bonch 10
discover the whereabouts of Ferdie
Schupp.
The Louisville left handler was not
10 be discovered AZ that particular mo-
ment. but before the fist inning was
well under way, Quigley's gaze was at
tracted bv man garbed in the livery
Of the Giants feverishly hurlng pan
that streaked white across the ngnt
into the cavernous pocket OF Lew wen
Huh" said Quigley, Il knew I'd see
that guy before long lie did, and So
did the Pirates. But, alas and aiach'
the sibilant allies were Intellectual, as
usual. and the Giants were beaten by
a score of TO |.
Some time or other. when the pres
ent stars of the diamonds have hashed
across the armament of the great ma
tional game for the last time ana nave
disappeared for ell time, their lustre
dimmed ~ newer discoveries, status
tician is going to boast the fact that ne
remembers having read OF a game III
which both these young men dld not
perform after one or the other started.
In fact. ,here is an unconirmed rumor
that one OF them did last full game.
The rumor is dscrcdlted on all sides.
Schauer Starts the Contest.
Schauer. as related previously, start
cd the game. lie worried along IN his
own inimitable style for two full inn
incs. In all Justice TO the managerial
department Of the Giants, he pltcncd
those two innings because Schupp was
not fully warmed up. Perhaps II would
rot be amiss TO charge fadx pas for
not having a pitcher warmed up before
the Rube entered the box, but that
is a matter Of opinion. The fact re-
mains that in the two innings the big
Russian hurled he was pounded around
for four runs. These were made
through the agency of five hlts, mt
batsman and an error.
Rube did not emit his customary
wild pitch. because Bill Rariden flew
around like a jumping jack and gath
cred in some pretty fair limitations OF
the same. Then Rube passed out and
Fcrdle entered.
The lefthander went along as well
as could be expected. He allowed three
runs. and the wonder was that the
total was not much lprger. Three hits
we're punched on hini in the third
frame, but through a combination Of
circumstances. only one run was made
on him. He was not so fortunate IN
the seventh inning. when the Pirates
scored two runs on two hits and base
On balls.
McGraw's choice Of pitchers cost him
the game this afternoon. His conf
dence in SchauCr and Schupp is one
Of the inexpicable things of baseball
The Pittsburgh fans could register
no complaints of weak or Intellectual
pitching against Frank Miller. This
youngster held the Giants right where
he wanted them. and il was only in the
third inning that they could break
through his defence and score a run. In
that frame Schauer made a valiant at
tempt to atone, and he shot double 10
right. He scored couple of moments
later on a clean single. so after all the
day was not a total loss to him.
Pirate Fielders Busy.
If hits were measured by height and
distance the Giants may have done very
well. Carey took care of no fewer than
seven skyscrapers. and Farmer handled
half a dozen more. The infielders had
an easy time of II because OF the ten
dency of the visitors 10 loft the ball.
Only seven assists were made.
Schauer started we'll enough. He dis
posed Of the two first men TO face him,
but then the situation began to develop.
Wagner nit savage crack through
Larry Doyle's legs, and Hinchman
banged one 10 right. Right then and
there Schauer began to lose confidence.
He sent cripple up for Joe Schultz.
and that blond haired youth sent it
scorching TO left for two bases, scor-
ing Wagner and Hinchman. Farmers
drive for a base sent Schultz home. Two
men were out in the second when Carey
doubled. Compton stopped a pitched
ball with his ribs. and following that
typical Schaueresque incident, McKech-
ME heaved wild on Wagner's tap. Carey
scoring
The third inning found Schupp in
command of the Giant forces. Two men
were out when Farmer beat out hit.
and Baird and Douglas followed suit.
Schupp's throw on Miller's grounder
was shy on direction and all hands were
