main weakness Of the club all season
has been that half Of the pitching corps
which manipulates with the right arm.
Few of the regular right-handers have
been able to stand the gaff for the full
route.

clubs of the league. Poll Perritt had
the honor Of putting the Polo Ground
ers back on the right track. He was
always master of the situation. He
didn't have TO pitch his best after the
fourth inning, but in the pinches had
plenty in reserve, and closed quite as
strongly as he started, which Is praise
indeed.
Reversal Of Form
Pittsburgh of yesterday was no club
to bring out all that is best in
pitcher. The team showed IA startling
reversal Of form from the previous day.
Perhaps il was reaction. The cubs
Bezdek has collected around Hans
Wagner and Max Carey went all to
pieces. behind young pitcher Grimes In
the fourth inning.
By applying plenty Of base hits. with
Pittsburgh slip-ups, in this frame the
Giants cinched the game. But before
and after this one round of comedy
the visitors played with will and
spirit. Poll Perritt could afford TO ease
up, but never TO loaf.
New York played dashing, smash
ing, crashing game. The inheld was
adamant; the outiield the acme OF per.

Rariden caught the spirit He climbed
up on top of the press box screen for
Carey's foul in the sixth. The Giants

Grimes, a truly great young spitball
pitcher Of iron mould, had a lot Of
tough luck. lie wild-pitched himself
out of n run in the very first inning
On the crazy chuck Burns. who had
walked, scored from second. Grimes
was hit hard in the fourth, but some OF
the hits were hukey. He was given
anything but encouragement by his cast
and plainly lost heart with the tough
break IN fortune.
Robertson opened this inning with
Il bunt through Grimes, and made the
play so close IL might have been called
either way. Kauff doubled down the
left line, half an inch fair The ball
rolled away into the corner Of the stand

score. Zimmerman singled. Then
Fletcher chopped to Ward. Pitler was
covering second. and there appeared
fine chance for a double play but the
shortstop was concerned with the run
ner only. He might have held Kauf at
third quite easily by making the play
the other way.
Wild Throw Costly
Pitler then threw wildly past Wagner
on Herzog's grounder. Charlie got sec
ond on the error, while kauf and Zim-
norman both tailed. Herzog stole
third Just before Holke walked. Charlie
and Walter were successful in double
steal for a run. Holke took third on
Rariden's out and scored on Perritts
scratch hit that bounded against
Boeckel's chest. Burns doubled TO right,
but Robertson, up for the second time
in the inning, flied out.
Carlson pitched the last four innings
for Pittsburgh and held the Giants 10
one run. This came in the seventh
after two were out on successive singles
by Zimmerman, Fletcher and HerZog.
The last mentioned was caught and run
down after futile throw for Fletcher
at third.
Pittsburgh's first run, which tied the
score momentarily, was due 10 Burnss
tumble of Carey's single. The error put
Max on second, with none out. Boeckel
then beat. a bum. The latter was caught
on an attempted double steal, but Carey
scored on the play.
Carlson's single drove in Pittsburgh's
other two runs in the seventh. Pitler
walked, with one out. Schmidt singled
70 right, and when Robertson made a
foolish play for Pitler at third the bat
ter took second. He scored behind Pit
Ter when Carlson singled to left. Two
