 AT CINCI PIERCED
Giants Put Stop to Reds Re-
 juYenated Winning Streak

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 6.-With Pres ident Hampstead of the Giants, look ing on. the New York team broke the Reds winning streak of one gan1s Sunday by a score of to 2.
 Fifteen thousand fans witnessed the game and incidentally felt great ly disappointed over the way those hard hitting boys from the East pounded Mitchell's curves.
 The Giant attack is the most pow erful in the league. Their lineup is full of hard marksmen all the way down the line. and they have the supreme intelligence to bunch their hits for the production of runs, which is the real test of baseball smartness.
 They crowded nine hits in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, in cluding a double, two triples and 8 homie run, all good for six tallies, which are what games are won with.
 The great Zim and Arthur Fletcher were the leading sluggers, but there were others, such as Benny KauR. Holke and Dave Robertson. not so far in their wake. Even the ponder ous MT. Tesreau emitted a screeching three-bagger and tore around th6 paths like an enraged diplodaccus. leaving a trail of precipitation along his route, just like a street sprinkler. No one on the big team is excused, from hitting. A person, even a pitche CT, who does not get a few swats once in while, is promptly repudiated. MT. Tesreau had a rather warm af- ternoon of it, but he stuck along and did not lose more than eight or nine pounds during his two hours of la Dor. The Reds binged him eight times in the first five innings and succeeded in scoring single run ota 1 a, close decision at the plate. Unfor- tunately base running spoiled a couple 1 of chances, when Heine Groh wal caught off first base, after singling in the first inning, and Tom Griffith wal hit by a batted ball in the fourth, ree ttrins the side. As has been the case in many recent games, the Reds did not get value received for their hit ting, for the simple reason that they did not get them close enough to- 1 gether. D5
 1 Tesreau was very effective toward :; the end of the game. The big lead ; secured by the Giants made him sure winner and he had nothing to worry about in tho later rounds. 1 r. h. G. New York ..... 0oo21s1o0-7 IS Cincinnati ..... 0o1o00oo1-2 10 .,2
