New-York tribune., 1918-06-01

Cy Williams hit n short fly to rights
snd Niehoff and Young both started for
the place they expected the ball to drop.
The warning shouted by Holkc was un-
needed or unhcard by the outhelder and
the second sackor, and they came to-
eother with resounding bang.
Both fell. Young finally managed to
stagger to his feet, but Niehoff was un-
able to rise, and time was called. Me
hoff was carried from the field, and an
examination by physician disclosed
that his right leg had been fractured
just below the knee. Jose Rodriguez
took up the post at second.
The fine pitching of Slim Sallee was
responsible for the triumph of the
Giants. Slim allowed the Moran men
only six scattered bingles, and had it
rot been for weird throw by Heinie
Zimmerman in the ninth inning Sal
What Slim said to Heinie after the
Bronxman's misplay would not sound
right anywhere, unless it was in The
Bronx.
Helnie after his atrocious error had
the tcmerity-Sal didn't call it that
to walk over to the pitchers box and
tell Slim how he should handle the next
batter. Get away from here!" yelled
Sal. "You just attend to your own
back yard around third base. l am
doing the pitching" Heinie sputtered
q bit in the patois used around Nc
klnley Square and then went back to
his station.
Ross Young Bats Winner
While it must be admitted that Sal
twlrlcd so effectively that the Phillies.
with the aid of Heinie Zim, were able
to score only one run, it is very evil
dent that the Giants were obliged to
go their opponents one better in order
to gain the day. The necessary two
runs were forthcoming, thanks to the
batting prowess of Ross Young. the
brilliant outfielder who is sojourning
for the first time in Big Leagueville.
koss had not made safe hit in seven
consecutive chances until the fifth inn
ing of the game to-day, when, with two
cut and three men on base, he shot a
sizzling liner over third that carried
two of his mates across the plate.
Young had another opportunity of the

bounder, which was travelling fast
toward centre field.
Bradley Hogg started on the mound
for the Phillies and remained until the
eighth inning, when he gave way to
Pearce. pinch hitter. Dixie Davis,
formerly of Harvard, did the twirline
Tor the Moran men in the ninth. Hogg
was 1nvlnclble except for that one inn
ing when Young suddenly emerged from
his batting slump. Davis was found

without being scored upon.
Victory Follows Base ON Balls

to centre and Rodriguez beat out hit
to Bancroft. filling the bases. Sallee
drove the ball to Luderus, who tossed
out Holke at the plate. With the bags
again clogged Young made his hit that
won the game.
Captain Arthur Fletcher shared with
Heinzie Zim the displeasure of the
hard working Sallee. Fletch suddenly
lost his bearings in the seventh and
two fumbles in succession put two run
ners on the paths, with only one out.
A last double play, Fletcher to Rodri
guez to Holke, is all that prevented at
least one run and saved the Giant cap
tam from being fed with an even
larger dose of Sims wrath,
Benny Kauff robbed Cactus Cravath
of triple and $50 at the same time in
the fourth, when Benny raced clear to
the Bull Durham sign in rie1t centre
to pull down drive that would have
hlled all the requirements Of the ad-
vertisement.
Another fielding feature on the part
OF the Giants was the catch Young
made OF this same Cravath in the sew
enth: Cactus hit long foul to the
right field stands and some distance
from the spot Young had planted him

accredited to the Giants Rariden col

Rodriguez two each.
