Cheney in No-Decision
Pitching Duel
By W. o. MCCLELLAN

By W. o. MCCLELLAN
The Giants and the Robins emerged
from their Information and played
fourteen inning tie at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. When Hankadorious O'Day,
the Cincinnati crustaeean officiating as
head umpire, raised his hands aloft
the long shadows OF Coogan's Bluff
were stretched across the outfield and
the score stood to =. John Lawrence
Cheney, pitching for the Robins,
showed no signs OF weakening, and our
young Ferdinand Schupp was getting
better every inning.
II Hankadorious had not raised hi,
digits as a signal for departure at that
time the battle might have been waged
an inning or two more and many a
family pot roast might have become
incinerated waiting for the ultimate
consumer. But the net result would
have been the same.
Three-Bagger Wasted
When George Burns can start an
inning with clean three Dagger and
Kauf, Robertson and Zimmerman can
not get him any further that is wha.
is commonly known as the tip-off. Il
means that the Giants are not going
10 score any more runs that afternoon.
On the other hand. when Ferdinand
Schupp permits only two hits in eight
innings there is another tip-off 20 the
effect that the Robins are not going 20
score any more runs that afternoon
All things considered. the gesture
that called the game on account OF
darkness, or impending darkness, was
made in the broad interests of human
ity, IA II was represented at the Polo
Grounds.
John Lawrence Cheney had one o.
his good days, and when Jawn is RICH,
the Robins usually chirp through. Our
Young Ferdinand Schupp was a trifs
loose in the first part of the game, but
toward the end he was working with
beautiful steadiness. In fact, his con-
duet through the ordeal settles the
conviction that Ferdinand has found
himself absolutely.
Schupp found himself in somewhat OF
a hole in the very first inning. John
son, leading Off for the Robins. drove
one to Fletcher. who made a wild throw
70 Holke, letting Johnson reach second.
Daubert hunted a tricky one that fooled
| Zimmerman and was safe, while John
son took third. This little disadvantage
merely started Ferdinand to fighting.
He threw out Myers, struck out Wheat,
passed Fabrique and famed Cutshaw
in order Which was getting very
/ nicely out of a hole.
Giants Score First
The Giants collected one run in their
half of the inning. George Burns drew
base on balls. Benny Kauf, batting
in the place of Charlie Herzog. the
Maryland aviator, who failed to report
Yesterday. slashed single past jake
Daubert and sent Burns to third. After
Dave Robertson famed Zimmerman
lifted fly TO right and Burns hustled
home.
In the fourth inning Ferdinand
Sehupp was somewhat touched up for
hlts and things. With two out, Michael
Mowrey, from the other eide of the
bridge, hit a clean two-bagger 10 left
held Miller singled TO centre and
'A,Nh SNaIteu nome. Inc pail was
relsyed into the hands of Lew Nc
Carty, Who would have had Michael out
/ oy some distance II he had held on 20
me bali. But Lew did not hold the ball
and Michael scored.
In the mean time Miller started 70
scurry around toward third. Some wit
nesses say that Art Fletcher gave him
Football tackle 10 delay his progress.
but 1t is believed that most of the wit.
nesses were pro-Brooklyn persons
whose evidence would not count.
Miller was officially declared out a.
third. and that ended one of Schupp's
worst innings.
In the sixth inning one Laverne
Fabrlque, the new shortstop Of the
Robins. put Brooklyn in the lead all bv
himself. Tavern Is known as Bunny,
and he looks about as mild and nor.
iensive as the animal from which thi.
monIckcr is derived. In fact, he looked
so mid that Ferdinand trusted him
with one that cut the pan. Whereupon
Laverne fell upon the pill and lifted h
clear into the left field bleachers.
Throw Game Away
This seemed TO give the game 70 the
ROBINS, and without a string tied "a
1t, but, having the game in their nos
session, the Robins did not know what
TO do with II. So they turned around
and threw the thing away. chiefly
through the errstic performance OF
Miller, the backstop.
In the eighth inning, just as the
spectators were about 10 call il a legal
day. Benjamin b. Kauff led of with
! single TO left field. A passed bali
sent him to second. Zimmerman lifted
one 20 right field and Johnson let an
easy out slip through his fingers.
Benny Kauf skipped 10 third. and
on double steal Miller threw eight or
ten feet above the head Of the second
baseman. As the ball hurtled out into
: centre field Kauf scurried home.
In the prolongation of the struggle
there were at least two instances when
I the Giants should have won, but thew
/ lacked drive hard enough TO bump
the steady Cheney. In the tenth inn
ing George Burns, the perfect base
ball player" led off By driving a two
Dagger into left field But Raur
popped TO Miller. Robertson rolled out
\ to first and Zimmerman hoisted an easy
fly TO right field
In the twelfth Burns lifted out A
three-bagger for mere starter. At
! this time 1t seemed certain that the
} time had come for the boots and
( saddles call. But Kauh struck out
Robertson lifted a fly 20 left, but not
a long enough one 10 let Burns come
in. Zimmerman popped out to Daubert
