Spencer, the national champion, in two
straight heats of one-mile match race
at the Velodrome, in Newark, yesterday

Kramer let Spencer take the lead in
the second heat and then rode around
him on the backstretch of the last lap,
winning by more than an open length.
Willie Hsnley and Jake Magin won
the hfty-milc team race, which was
keenly contested and narrowed down to
the last sprint, when Hanley beat out
Spears for first place. ilanley and
Nagin scored 6S points.

In the mean time Urban "Red" Faber,
who was net supposed 10 rank with
Mr.. Ccotte in the ante-mortem dope.
kept pitching along with no sign Of
the well known crack that was pre-
dicted for him. He seemed totally IN
aware of the fact that he was supposed
TO be defeated by the Giants. and just
kept shooting them over as though ne
were trying to take advantage of the
pleasant weather by remaining out
doors as much as possible. =.
The gentlemanly Giants certainly are
up against tough-but not altogether
hopeless situation at the present time.
IN spite Of the fact that the team that
wins the first game invariably has won
also the famous so per cent, it was the
truth to-day that the Giants got oil the
bad breaks in the world. and few that
were not heretofore known to exist.

Giants prompt framed one up. II the

whore the ball was most likely 70

possible. so that the catcher cou Id have
several things TO think about BESIDES
throwing the ball.
After the Sox tore off those FIVE runs
in the fourth inning they were feeling
so gay and cocky we half expected
that one Of them would try TO walk IN
from second on mis- hands and cross
the plate with a double Arab. There
seemed no limit TO the tricks OF which
they were capable.
Demaree pitched 70 the Giants in Dat
ting practice. II seemed that ne might
be the last soft spot the Giants would
hit during the afternoon. Joe Benz
shot them across for the SoX.

Schupp Nervous at Start

Schupp Nervous at Start
Schupp apparently was bit nervous
in the first inning. One of his pitches
hit three feet in front of the plate.
The Youngsters wide curve was break
ing beautifully.
Schupp carried the count to three
and two on Eddie Collins, and then
sneaked high curve over for strike
out. Collins didn't lift his bat from
his shoulder.
The White Sox evidently had been
warned against the hit-and-run, which
constitutes much of McGraw's attack.
Saturday Cicotte pitched out time and
again with men on first, and Faber
pursued the same tactics.
Jackson's throw to the plate that
started the scoring in the second inn
ing was a perfect peg. In fact, Schalk
had the bali in his hands, but Davy
Robertson neatly kicked " out.
Joe Juckson got the first hit off
Schupp. The shoeless kid waited out
three balls and then hit cripple. That
started Schupp's downfall. Felsch's hit
came In this inning. Luckily the ball
curved into the Dutchman's stomach
and he hit it Off the handle.
Faber's Fast Fielding
In the third inning Ksuff hi, a slow
rolling ball toward first base. Faber
raced for the bali and felded IL clearly
By that time kauf was so near first
that Faber had no time TO make the
throw. He dived headforemost at the
bag as Benny slid in, spikes up. Rig
ler's decision went 70 Faber.
Felsch. Saturdays hero. ingloriously
whitfield on three low spitters in the
third inning. Gandl followed suit.
Evans was forced to ask Rigler for
help in making the decision on Lei
holds foul in the second inning. The
ball hit behind the plate and rolled
slowly 10 the outheld. McCarty OBJ
served the fact that the ball was foul
and protested 20 Evans, VINO disallowed
the claim until he had consulted Rigler.
II meant run and further trouble had
the hit been sanctioned. As it was Lei
bold famed.
With Weaver and Schalk on base in
the fourth inning and none out, Holke
played within thirty feet Of the plate
for the bunt which il was obvious Fa-
Der would try 20 make. Had Faber de.
liyered there would have been des-
perate effort made TO cut down Weaver
ct third. As it was he failed twice and
then fouled 10 Zimmerman.
In the fourth inning McCarty sus-
tanned strained arm when Leibold
slid into the plate on Eddie Collins's
single--the first Edward Trowbridge
had managed 20 make of Giant pitch
ing. In addition to the arm injury IA
