Giants TO Victory
Reds Humble Poll Perritt in
First Game With Only
Nine Hits

CINCINNATI, July 17.-Cecil AL
gernon Causey by his clever pitching
saved the Giants from a double defeat
st the hands of the Reds here TODAY.
Poll Perritt essayed to humble Matty's
men in the first contest, but, although
polonius allowed only nine hits, as
against the thirteen safe blows struck
by the McGraw men at the expense of
Pete Schneider, he was returned a
loser by score of 2 to 1. A wild
pitch by Poll helped the Reds lot.
Red Causey steered the New Torkers
to victory in the second battle by
tally of to l. Hod Eller was Causcy's
rival or the mound.
One bad inning, the fifth. spoiled
everything for Perritt in the first
game. Lena Blackburne started mat
ters in his usual harmless fashion by
hopping foul to McCarty. The en-
tire aspect was changed by Lefty
Wingo with mis- single to left. which
was followed by safe drive to centre
from the bat of Pete Schneider.
Polonus was badly upset by these
two hits from the cellar end of the
Reds batting array and let loose with
a wild pitch on which Wingo scored
Heinie Groh sent fly to Burns, which
was far enough out to permit big Pete
to reach the plate after the catch.
These were the two runs that did the
business, and oddly enough pitcher
tailed one and a catcher the other
Giants Open Splendidly
The Giants made fine opening in
the first inning, Burns leading off with
a double to left, but Young swung
vainly at the slants off Schneider and
sat down. Fletcher, in an endeavor
to drive the ball out of the lot, hit the
ball so high in the air that Neale was
perched under it when it dropped.
Larry Doyle revived McGraw's hopes
by worrying pass out of Schneider,
but Heine Zim smashed a grounder at
Heinie Groh and perished at first, end
ing the agony of Pete.
In the fifth inning the McGraw men
began another attack on Schneider,
of the game. Lew McCarty received
free transportation to first and Poloni-
US Perritt sacrificed, Wingo to Chase.
Burns flied to Neale, but Ross Young
banged the ball to centre sufficiently
far to give McCarty time to tally from
second. Young beat Wingo's throw on
steal. 1t was wasted effort on the
part o, Young, for Fletcher was hyp-
noticed by the shoots of Schneider
and famed.
In the ninth Holke made his first hit
Of the game, and McGraw danced in
glee about the coaching box. McCarty
flying to Neale, and then Whoa Bill
Rariden. batting for Perrtt, ruffled the
Giant managers feelings still more by
popping to Lee Magee. Burns rejuve-
mated McGraw somewhat with a single
to centre, which put Holke on third,
om foung's effort resulted in fly to
Roush.
Do Better in Second
-. he second game was different tale.
The Giants got the same start, thanks
to Burns, but they made something out
OF 1t, and finally emerged on the big
end of the score. Burns opened the
closing affair with another double, and
went to third on Young's sacrifice bunt
to Eller. Captain Fletcher brought
Burns over the plate with long fly to
Griffith.
The Giants made the victory certain
IN the sixth, when they pounded Eller
hard and often. Rariden began the
fracas with single to right, and Red
Causey succeeded in beating out a bunt
in front Of the plate. Burns also
bunted safely down the third base line
and the bags were full. Young forced
Rariden at the home slab, Lee Magee
to Wingo, and Fletcher forced Young
at second, Lee Magee to Blackburne,
Causey scoring.
Larry Doyle drove out safety to
right, Burns counting and Fletcher
going to third A double steal was then
worked successfully, Fletcher crossing
the rubber and Doyle reaching second.
Helnle Zimmerman put the check rein
on with an easy grounder to Black
burne
The Reds made their lone run of the
game in the eighth. Groh doubled to
right and went to third when Sticking,
who had replaced Doyle at second for
the Giants, tossed out Lee Magee.
Roush hit to Holke and was out. but
Groh Tailed on the play. Hal Chase
med to Young, settling the controversy
IN favor of the Giants.
