New-York tribune., 1917-06-30

rous and inhuman score of l3 TO 0.
The rain which fell alike upon the
just and the Brooklyn fans did not de-
scend upon Harry lIempstesd's Harlem
estate TO any extent yesterday, so that
the slaughter which was perpetrated in
the peaceful meadow in the lee OF Coo
gan Bluff was continued 70 the bitter
end. The noise the mistaken inhabi-
tants of Manhattan may have taken for
thunder yesterday aftcrnocn was slmp-
ly the concussior OF Boston bats knock
ing the everlasting daylights out Of a
couple of Giant pitchers. IL was rot
human warfare. It was slaughter.
All of which goes TO substantiate the
pla,itude that lie and baseball are un-
certain. When the Giants finished the
rirst game they looked like the cham
plans thai the dope and the common,
or garden, variety of baseball intelli-
gence would indicate them 10 be. But
at the end of the second game any in
dication of just how the Giants looked
would be deleted by the censor.
Tesreau Saves the First
jeff Tesrcau went into the first game
TO save 1t, and he did that little thing.
starting q double play that put the
rollers under ninthinning rally OF
the Braves. The Bear Hunter of the
Ozarks ran into a bunch of tough luck
in the second game. though. He was
gassed for three runs in the second
inning and famed by machine guns in
the third for 4 matter Of five runs
Middleton, who replaced him, was hit
by focks of scattering Boston shrap-
mel
The entire casualties of the engage
ment were something awful. The Giants
have not been walloped that hard for
many and many a moon. 1t looked as
though the entire reserve corps Of
pitchers had been wiped out in one fell
swoop.
In the first game the Giants started
nicely. Charlie Herzog, the demon
aviator, started the engagement with
single. Tyler became little rattlec
and passed Kauff and Zimmerman. Art
Fletcher, the Texas tornado, lifted
sacrifice fly and scored Herzog.
After that the Giant tank rested be
hind the trenches. The struggling
Braves tied it in the eighth. Rawllng:
went in to pinch hit for Tyler, and
drew a base on balls. After Massey's
fly was nailed by Robertson. Fitzpat
rick managed 10 get his anatomy in the
way of pitched ball. Sherwood Magee
completed the drive with single to
centre which scored Rawlings and tied
the score.
Il was George Gbson-"0ld Gawge,
the veteran who put new life and per
into the Giants in the second half OF
the inning George walked right into
the pill and slammed it against the left
field wall for a double. This was the
second double for "Gawge" in game
where the hits were far from plenti-
full.
Burns Scores kilduh
Honus Robert. the factotum of the
Giants. was sent in at this Juncture
Honus achieved a neat sacrifice that
sent Kildufr. running for Gibson, 10
third. George Burns, the most artistic
player on the Giant lineup, shot out
a long fly that brought Peterkin home
II looked tough for the Giants in the
Braves half of the ninth. A base on
balls. a single by Maranville and mutt
by Robertson packed the satchels, and
it looked like a cinch for run tha'
would tie. for there was just one out.
But Wilhoit. batting for Kelly, slammed
one right at Tesreau.
The Bear Hunter Of the Ozarks
sneared the ball with his prchensile
nav and hurled to Bill Rariden, cutting
Tragresser dead at the plate. Wlld

he was about to kick the cushion with

Braves Continue Attack
In the third inning the Braves con-
tinued TO pepper the shuddering Gian's'
The machine Of the New York Nation
ais that looks so perfect on paper went
all to pieces. Il was one OF the post
narrowing spectacles ever seen under
Coogan's Bluff. The rattle Of the can
was in the air and means OF anguish
filled the stadium. When the Brave
stopped from sheer WEAKNESS there
was count of FIVE runs and five hits
scored against the Bear Hunter.
Middleton went in for the next inn
ing. but the Braves seemed to have
developed a tank Of their own. The
said tank rolled over Middleton FOR q
couple Of runs in the fourth. In the
fifth the Braves amassed three runs
and the Giant defence was all shot to
smithereens.
During the second game something
that looked like rain fell upon the
grass. The umpires, naturally. as
sumed that the drops OF moisture were
merely tears Of the anguished Manhat-
tan fans and the slaughter was per
mitted to proceed until Stallings S

their dripping tomahawks and called II
