RUN AWAY WITH
GAME FROM REDS
McGraw'S Men Pllfer
Seven Bases - Win
Ninth in Row.
By w. o. McGEEHAN.


nat, Reds yesterday with the ease ana
focil;tv Of a new knife cutting through
niece Of cheese. which makes the
ninth consecutive victory for McOra"
reformed organization. The score OF
q,o1v was achieved chiefly through the
recNessly brilliant base running OIL 'he
Giants ,
Field Marshal Christy Mathewson OF
Cincinnati. late Of New York, put IN
federal League battery and then re-
tired 10 the visitors dugout 70 wait the
worst. II came. J. Marmaduke Nose
lev. half Of the battery, pitched a nice
useful game and allowed only one hit
more than Tesreau. But the Giants
were demons on the paths.
Seven stolen bases was the count Tor
,be Giants for one afternoon. HUM
the other half of the Federal League
battery operating for the Reds couldn't
keep the Giant base runners stationary
once they got on.
The seventh inning furnished an ex-
annie of how the Giants are travelling
the bases these days. Burns sped down
to first while Louden juggled a poke
for lust a fraction OF a second Her
zcg beat a perfectly laid bunt along
the third-base line and Burns reached
third.
Herzor started to steal second when
Huhn made a peg 10 nail him at tne
b,r. The minute the ball had left his
bsrds Burns was on his way TO the
Mate. He reached IL about three yards
alcad Of the ball in one of the prettleSt
double steals ever seen on the lot'
Wonderful Slide by Herzog.
Rs, this time Huhn began 70 look soft
., The Giant sprinters. Herzog took a
rood lead and was on his way to third
The ball should have beat him by safe
margin, but Buck started TO shde on
his beak. Seeing Griffith awaiting MN
with the ball. he put his helm marc
aport and glided under him and Just
ont Of reach. with a spectacular cork
screw slide.
The Giants got in the first wallop IN
their part of the opening session; win
two laid away. Davy Robertson drove
smash to left field and Immediately
after performed the first feat IN base
stealing. Heinie Zimmerman poked
safe single over second and Robertson
scored the first run.
The Reds would have tied il right up
in the second if it had not been for
the accurate eye and the mighty hook
of Benjamin B. kautf, the violet OF the
Giant organization. Mchechnie beat
out an infeld hit and stole second when
IcCartv made a rather woolly heaVe
TO cut him of. Louden smashed
clean drive to Bonnie Ksuff's territory
Benjamin on the Job.
II was a nice hit, and it should have
scored McKechnie, but not with Ben
jamin B. KaufF on the job. Bonnie
sprinted after the ball, scooped It up
and made a toss on bee line with the
plate The ball came like the more or
less widely known bullet into Nc
Carty's hands. Mac reached down and
nailed McKechnie eighteen and half
inches from the bag. Kauff's throw was
a beautiful peg, and Benjamin b. was
pleased with himself for the entire
afternoon.
II was Benjamin B. who brought in
the next run. The Violet, who is dis
ciplining himself into waiting these
days. drew a pass. Stealing second was
as soft for him as IL was for any Of
the other Giants. Consequently, Ben
jamm b. was on second when Holke
poked nice Die into left field. Ben
iamin came all the way around with
the second run.
The third and ultimate run, which
was won mostly through base running,
has been previously accounted for.
The lone run + the Reds was largely
due 20 the work Of Hal Chase, the pug
nacious Prune Planter from California.
Hc.nie Groh was passed by Tesreau
and stole his way TO second. The
Prune Planter sent him home with
spicy double TO right centre, the long
est hit Of the afternoon.
Despite the pessimism Of the sor-
rowful Cincinnati Citizen who is SEN
fenced 10 travel with the team the
Reds did not look at all bad yesterday
There are plenty Of other teams In
the National Lague who would have
looked whole lot worse. II must be
taken into consideration that the
Giants are playing baseball these days
and they look a whole lot sweeter than
any other organization in the league.
JET Tesreau seemed trihe weary
when he went IN yesterday, but the field
ing that was behind him made mir.
look mighty good IN tnc tnlfQ innluS
The Reds ran up three hits in success
sion. set they could not send man
over
No Law Against Dreaming.
The rcjuvcnation Of the Giants ami
frc nine straight wins started some
of tho faithful 20 dreaming through the
long humid afternoon. They figured
with pencils and pads that If the
Giants won al the rest OF their games
and II Brooklyn Philadelphia and
BOSTON dropped al theirs-or some
ching like that-the Giants might yet
SIN pcnnant
Such a possibility would result m
terrible catastrophe. II the Giant,
rogld shoot through now there would
not Do standing room in the nearby
earitar.lms 20 accommodate the vio-
'cr''y insane Still there is no law
against dreaming roseate dreams.
And. anyhow John McGraw promises
f0 slaughter the Braves when they
come % tho Polo Grounds Thai
might make life a little brighter for
some o. tho fans.
The score follows:
CINCINNATI IS. Lj' NEw YORK ~ -.
