Marquarda and Coombs
Curb McGTuzv:S Mem
Second Pitcher Adds Triple
and Two Singles to His
Good Mound Work
By Charles A. Taylor

Giants with two ball games on
Wednesday. they about-faced and took
the two battles waged yesterday at
the Polo Grounds. Perhaps the ex-
planation is crowds rather than trcach
cry, Robbie's men requiring large and
enthusiastic audiences to spur them on
to their best efforts. They certainly
had the crowds yesterday, for ten
thousand watched them shut out the
Giants in the morning by a score of
2 to 0, and twenty-five thousand saw
them emerge triumphant from ten
inning contest in the afternoon by the
count of a to 3.
Two veteran pitchers brought about
the overthrow of the McGraw men.
Marquard, who won fame in Giant
uniform ages ago, held his old team
in the hollow of his left hand in the
morning, and old man Jack Coombs,
despite the seven errors his pals made
ochind him, came through with flying
colors in the afternoon. 1t was
triple from the bat Of this same
Coombs that brought victory to the
dodgers. In addition to this power
ful smash, old Jack collected two sim
giles, so, take it all in all, the Colby
grad" was rather busy.

Anderson and Johnny Ogden In the

Cecil Red Algernon Causey, Ogden and
Polonious Perritt divided the task. The
defeat is charged against Polonious,
who assembled the mound when the
score was tied.
Dodgers Score Early
The DODGERS scored their first run
of the after r-breakfast game in the
opening inning after two men had been
retired by Heinie Zimmerman and
Walter Holke. Jake Daubert worked
Smith for a pass and with very little
hesitation stole second, beating the
throw easily because of McCartys

by Anderson more than to any faulty
throwing by McCarty.
Eugene Sheridan, the schoolboy,
walked, and then the two base runners
put over double steal, for which some
more hesitation on the part OF Nc
Carly was responsible. Otto Miller was
purposely passed. Rube Marquard beat

At this point Anderson walked out OF
he box of his own accord and went
to the bench, where a physician at
tended him. 1t was said later that
Andy had been i'll for several days
and that that was the reason for the
report that he had left the team. He
was removed TO his home.
Ogden Fills the Bill
Johnny Ogden, the former Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania pitcher, who sue
ceeded Anderson on the mound, found
a crowded house awaiting, but proved
equal to the occasion. He forced John
ston to pop to Sticking, and Olson flied
weakly to Fletcher. The fans warmly
The Giants had fine chances to score
in the seventh, the eighth and the
ninth innings, but Marquard put on so
much "steam" in these crises that the
NcGraw men were helpless: In the
seventh Zimmerman and Holke, the
first two men up, beat out hits to the
inficld and McCarty sacrificed them
along, only to have Sticking and Rari-
den, who batted for Smith, both fan
Fletcher doubled and went to third on
lhorpe's infield tap, but Heinie zim
fouled to Miller. Holke and McCarty
both singled in the ninth with nobody
out. but with no result, for Sticking
flied to Hickman. Wilhoit, batting for
Ogden, popped to Sheridan and Burns
lined to Hickman. It was most COM
mendable pitching by the Rube.
The Dodgers allowed Cecil Causey to
ing of the second contest, but that
they we're far from through with their
dastardly work was proven in the sec
ond frame, when Jimmy Hickman met
one of the Reds fast ones with such
force that he sent the ball sailing far
up in the left field bleachers for a
homer.
More Goals were heaped on the fiery
head Of Causey in the fourth, when the
Flatbushers added two more runs to
their total. Jake Daubert led off with
a double to right Zach Wheat flied
to Burns and Hickman was tossed out

double steal was successfully put
through, Daubert scoring. Mike Doolan
made one of his weekly singles to right
and OMara tailed. This was the sec
ond safe hit for Mike in two days, so
he will probably rest on his laurels for
a fortnight.
First Run in Sixteen Innings
In the sixth they scored their first
run in sixteen innings Of endeavor
against Robbie's men. But Jack Coombs
was not probably at fault. Larry
Doyle batted for Causey and was
thrown out by Doolan. Burns beat a
bunt and Young hit safely to left.
Fletcher was nit by a pitched ball,
filing the bases. Wilhoit tapped the
ball to Coombs, who threw to the plate,
forcing Burns. Mack Wheat in an eff
fort to double Wilhoit at first threw
wildly and Young raced over the rub

The Giants tied the score in the
eighth, thanks to little nap Ollie
O'Mara treated himself to at third.
McCarty, batting for Ogden, singled TO
centre, Poll Perritt being nominated
by McGraw to do the running for
Lew. Burns hit safely to right, putting
Poll on second. Young grounded out
to Daubert, both runners advancing.
The signal was given for pitch
out, the plan being to catch Poll off
third. Coombs pitched out all right
and Mack Wheat threw the ball with
speed and accuracy to third, but, 10
