Old Lew is in a position to know

yesterday for the entire twelve inn

second game, 8 to ., which was little
matter of professional courtesy to
Grover Alexander, who was pitching
for his thrteth victory to win $1,000
bonus.
McGraw, in fact, hauled out his first
team and sent in the Giantettes after
the fourth inning of the second game,
when the regulars were leading the
Phillies 1 to 0. There was nothing TO
gain by winning, and, as they say, Alex
was a good guy when he had it.
Herzog Plays Brilliantly
Permits pitching and the comeback
Of the famous valetudinarian, Charles
Lincoln FIerzog, were the outstanding
features of the game. HerzoS came
back so smoothly that no one ever
would have suspected that he had been
away. lie handled thirteen chances
with only one drop kick, and his error
made on his first chance was on a bad
bounding ball from the bat OF Dode
Paskert.
Permits pitching led TO more specu-
lation as to who will fling the first
game for the Giants. After watching
Polonus Pluperfect to-day we are OF
the opinion that he can outpitch all the
knuckles on Eddie Cicotte's hand, and
that he could beat the shine ball II 1t

ing that must be dreadfully annoying,
don't you know, TO the enemy.
Poll was the coolest athlete on the
field to-day, when, in the ninth inning,
Zimmerman and Fletcher let Oscar
Dugey's pop fly get away from them.
Had that fly been caught Perritt would
have had a shut-out, which, IN the
cigarette box that they use for ball
park over here is equivalent to an ordl-
nary no-hit game.
As it was, the missed opportunity led
10 a ninth inning tie, and had pitching
tradition been observed Perritt would
have blown up, in subsequent frames
and the Giants would have been beaten.
Nothing of the kind happened. Perrltt
came back in the tenth inning as cool
as you please, and continued to pitch an
:rreproachable quality of baseball until
the Giants perceived they would have
to win or play all night.
In the ability to mix his stuff Per
ritt is quite the peer of any Of his con-
current rivals. Indeed, with Cicotte ne
probably ranks first among those pitch
ers who rely upon dazzling variety
plus control, rather than single pltcn
highly perfected to win his ball games
The Giants wanted TO win the first
game. and they played as hard as ever
they will TO DO it. Eppa Jeptha Rixey
opposed them, and the angular Ep-JeF
is not set-up for any ball club. In
the fourth inning the Giants took Rixey
: for run, and they nabbed another in
the seventh that looked good enough "a
win until the ninth. The Giants tielded
rather pertly, in spite of three errors
and the infield, with Charles Lincoln
back on second, took on the old famil-
lar look and let loose the customary
battle songs.
White Sox IL Stands
Eddie Cicotte, Eddie Collins and Kid
Gleason sat in the grandstand and
watched the modus operandi OF the
Giants play. If they learned any new
secrets or spotted any monumental de-
fects in the Giants work they are
equipped with far better eyesight than
Pat Moran's Pills.
The Giants scored first in the fourth
inning. Herzog outhoofed ground
bail to Dugey, and took third on
Kauf's slam to right. Heinie Zim-Zam-
Fem whaled out a sacrifice fly, which
scored Herzog. In the seventh inning
the prescription was again filled. Zim
singled and took third on Fletcher 5
belt. He Tailed when Robertson Topped
TO the garden.
In the ninth inning, after Perritt had
allowed only four hits, Schultz took a
not shot at the right field fence for
two bases. Whitfield and Luderus died
on flies. Dugey hoisted another fly
back of third, and il looked as though
the game was in, but Zimmerman, after
partly chasing Fletcher of the ball
suddenly called to the shortstop to get
il. Fletcher made a dive for the ball
but dropped It, Schultz scoring and
Dugey taking second. Evers hit a slow
roller to Herzog, and while he was
beating it out Dugey scored from Sec
ond.
In the twelfth inning, with one down,
Robertson laced double to centre that
would have been a home run on the
Polo Grounds, Holke hit slow roller
TO Luderus and Robertson rushed home
under cover of the first baseman's high
toss TO the plate. That run was sufii-
Gent to win, but Dugey pulled an error
on McCarty's slow bounder, Perritt
moved the base runners up notch and
Burns scored both with poke to CEN
tire. cinching the game.
The second game proved little beyond
the fact that Rube Benton had one OF
his tragic days. In four innings he was
taken for ten hits. five Of which were
for two bases.
