W hoop 1t Up.

Of noise.
Whoop 1t Up.
These bearers of vital and breezy
press dispatches 20 countless thou
sands Of Gentle Readers whooped up
the cause of the Giants, and desire
public credit for having chased the
hoodoo over the bluff. We give them
credit just as We gave the earnest Suffs
last week, but subsequent events Will
have 20 show whether the newSies' as
sault on the jinX was permanent or
merely a fanking movement for the
afternoon.
In any event, the Giants won after
getting only four hits from three
pitchers. which is pretty good evidence
that some outside cause was backing
them up.
Poll Perritt was up against tough
assignment. Poll was called on TO face
hree pitchers, eight regular batsmen
and two pinch-hitters, yet the entire
masSed formation was not enough 10
shatter his thin but stalwart guard.
For the first eight innings the Louisi-
ana canestalk held the Cubs TO three
scattered hits, but he wavered like a
slender reed in the ninth, when two
lrts and a pass filed the bases, before
he finally emptied the third strike on
Fischer, sent in TO respond for Jimmy
Archer. Perritt, despite his one wa
vering round, pitched fine game Of
ball, combining steadiness with the
stuh-a mixture that rarely fails when
given a run 10 work with.
Waivers in Sixth.
Tinker started Jimmy Lavender. and
for FIVE innings the delegate from
Montez ina stampeded the Giants
with two hits. But he began TO waver
and slip in the sixth. when he filed
the bases, and his sudden finish came
one round later. Starting the seventh
he passed Rariden and Perritt sacri-
feed. When George Burns drew an
other pass Tinker and Captain Tim
decided 20 see what George Mcconnell
could do in such an impending emer-
gency.
The ex-Yank started quite buOyantly
by tanning Dave Robertson. but his
fast curve had no terrOrs for Larry
Doyle. Larry, who had singled TO right
IN the sixth, pumped another hit down
the same trail, and Rariden came over.
Benny Kauff followed with a wicked
whack 10 right, which Mccarthy
knocked down by great play, but the
desired tally had already scored on
Doyle's clean punch
Packard followed Mcconnell. but what
the Cubs needed at the close was some
one TO hit, not TO stop the hitting. At
that they came near spilling Poll at
the erd.
With one out in the ninth. Williams,
the tall and stately centre fielder,
cracked a single to right. Schultz
drove a long fly to Burns, and then
Henie Zim raped a base nit against
the right field wall, driving the fleet
Williams on TO third. Vic Safer drew
a pass, and the bases were practically
full
Archer Taken Out.
II was at this point that Joe Tinker
turned his back upon tradition. For
number Of years back Jimmy Archer
has upset the Giants in closing rallies
more than any other visiting player.
Jimmy developed this annoying habit
back around 1911, and has never lost it,
Base hits from his bat have turned
many a Giant victory upside down. But
Tinker decided 10 discard the glory
OF the past for the immediate present.
All that Joe remembered concerning
Archer and the Giants was that Jimmy
had rammed into q double play his
FIRST time up and had famed on his
next two trips 20 the plate. IL re-
CURED an even more illustrious past
than Archer had o Offset this showing.
30 the Giant -csis was sidetracked
or Fischer.
Before Fischer arrived Perritt had
ready famed five Cubs. SO TO make
six of one and a half dozen of the
same he added the pinch hitter TO his
string.
The Giants needed fine pitching TO
win, for they have not yet been able
70 resume their ancient prowess a.
bat. Kauff doubled in the second.
Fletcher was hit, Merkle sscri-
feed, and McKechnie walked. But even
with this start they were not able to
get n run. Doyle alone saved the day
when Lavender skidded as Larry
struck two solid blows in row
With the light hitting by both par
tics the game had three fine felding
features. In the second a snappy dou-
bic play from Merkle 10 Fletcher end
cd a rally. In the fourth Art Fletcher
lifted high foul over the press box.
Archer pursued it TO the edge of the
screen. and then reached over the net
ting for the catch.
In the seventh Mccarthy robbed
kauf Of a hit by knocking down Ben
MES line drive. Mac sat down heavily
on the damp earth as he made the
play, but recovered in time TO nail
the Giant. at first and save another
run.
Both clubs were in a light hitting
mood and both were powerful on de-
fence Daredevil Dave Robertson
hasn't yet recovered from the effects
Of his tonsillitis attack. This disease
IS said 20 lift quite a lot Of pep"
from the system for many days after
the first violence has passed.
