Cincinnati. June Sold Chris Math-
ewson's Cincinnati Reds, to the Ma
tional League about as aggrsyating as
though no more dangerous than) a
boil on the nape of the neck, cele-
brated Registration Day with q vic
tory over McGraw's Giants here this
afternoon. The score was TO D. Gin
cinnati pulled the miraculous in q bat
tie chock-full of surprises, and in q
ninth inning rally for two runs turned
apparent defeat into victory.
Taken by and large, this triumph OF
the Dutch was perhaps as brilliant an
achievement as the Rhinelanders can
be expected TO show all summer. They
hurdled Ferdie Schupp, the star south
raw of the New Workers, until he re-
tired an unbeaten young gentleman
with six. consecutive wins for his sea-
sons work to date. Whether Schupp
is still unbeaten is q point for Secre-
tary John A. Heydler TO determine.
His case presents no extenuatlng CIR
cumstance. He made way for Nc
Graw's champion pinchless pinch hit
ter, Hans Lobert, while the Reds were
still two runs 10 the good. But sub
sequently the Giants got not only
these two runs back, but another that
gave George Smith tieeting sdysn-
tage. In other words. they put Smith
in a position where it seemed certain
he would win. He had a good techni-
cal chance 70 win. So why shouldn't
he shoulder the loss even II the fault
was due to Grass errors behind him!
Planned Big Celebration
Cincinnati had big celebration OF
patriotic evolutions planned for the
holiday. The Army grabbed the show
by holding in reserve the contingent
of soldiers that was expected to per
form the military maneuvres. How
ever, the two teams lined up at the
plate just before the game started,
and, led by Lord Byron, the singing
umpire. voiced the sentiments OF THE
Star-Spangled Banner" Bill was in
good voice, as he proved subsequently
in chasing Johnny McGraw and divers
athletes sentenced indeterminately to
the red hose OF the Rhine.
Pete Schneider was sent out after
Schupps scalp. He was getting away
with the assignment, too. until he was
expunged after an argument with
Milor Byron in the seventh inning. Up
to that time il was a thrilling, If not
edifying, encounter. Schneider was no
world beater; but the Giants played
badly. They were guilty Of number
of stupid plays. They didn't seem to
be hooked up.
Each side got q run in the first inn
ing. Burns walked and took second on
Herzog's out. When Robertson hit to
Schneider, Burns beat the throw 20
third. George tailed on Zimmerman's
sacrifice fly. With one down in the
second half, Kopf, Rousch and Chase
singled in succession and tied the
count Clarke was bit by a pitched
ball, filling the bases, but Schupp
frightened and struck out both Thorpe
and Cueto.
The Giants got ahead again in the
third. A pass and a wild pitch put
Schupp on second, with none out. Two
infield outs sent Ferdie home. Kopf
opened Cincinnati's half with a single,
and got to third on two outs. Clarke
walked, but on an attempted double
steal Kopf was caught at the plate.
Reds Lead in Fourth
The Reds took the lead for the first
time by scoring twice In the fourth.
Thorpe walked and took third on
Cueto's single. Sheen singled, scoring
the Indian. Schneider popped out, and
Groh forced Shean, but Clarke walked
ha
worked. The locals boosted their count
to four in the fifth on Rousch's triple
and Clarke's single.
No runs we're scored in the seventh,
but several fist fights were narrowly
averted. Holke walked for the Giants.
When Schneider DETECTED hard smash
from McCarty. Kopf scooped up the
ball, apparently touched second and
threw 70 first ahead Of the batter.
Quigley called Holke safe at second, and
q near riot threatened. Lobert, batting
for Schupp, lined to Chase. Burns
struck out. With one down in the
second half, Kopf beat a hit 70 Zim-
norman and stole second. Tht Giants
claimed Rousch interfered with Nc
Carty's throw. A free-for-all wrsngling
match developed, and McGraw was
chased off the field.
The Giants tied the score with
brace of runs in the eighth. Herzog
strolled and took second on thinner
mans single. When Fletcher hit TO
Kopf the latter threw wildly, trying 70
force Zimmerman. Herzog scored apd
Zim took third on the error. kauf's
single scored Heine. With Holke AT
bat and the count two TO two, Schneider
was thrown out of the game for object
ing to one of Byron's decisions. Clarke
got into the argument and was sent
after big Pete. Mitchell and HUM
replaced the former battery. Holk:
finally struck out, and McCarty lined
70 Thorpe.
Giants Rally in Ninth
With two gone in the ninth, che
Giants rallied for a run, which should
have been the winning one. Herzcg
beat a hit TO Kopf and stole second.
Robertson singled TO Groh, putting
Herzog on third; Zimmerman sing led
over second for the score. Fletcher
forced Zimmerman.
Now comes the most painful para
graph of all. Shean singled 20 left in
Cincinnati's ninth. KauH fell In the
mud coming in for MitchelPs fly and
handed the pitcher two-base ny.
Then Burns badly misiudged Groh's
hy. This second charity double ruined
the game for Smith.
