there might De something SURFING IN
he line of extra entertainment out at
the Polo Grounds if Herzie and the
Giants began exchanging compliments,
but nothing much happened. An I'M
official box score shows that the Cam
bioupe King received large number
ef groans, no few "bcos" and here and
there stray cheer or so, while the
Ciants, with DR.. Frederick Anderson
~ we're trimming the Braves by the
GORE Of s to 0.
Manager McGraw, each time the
Giants were at bat, strutted down the
bird base coaching line hard by the
goston Braves bench, and every but
ton on his uniform bristled. 1t was
spparent that, while he had predeter-
nined to remain a gentleman, he was
10. averse to picking up the gauntlet
Il it were laid down to him. But
though his handy legs padded forth
snd back before the Braves bench,
which once upon a time was charged
With million kilowatts, not a word
vas said to ruffle the feathers of the
celebrated Giants chief.
Herzog's Misplay Costly
Herzog also bore himself with dig
nifty, which at times crumbled before
bis fielding errors. The recent cap
tain Of the Giants regarded his ex-
brethren with tolerant eye, and
vhatever he thought of them he said
nothing. AS matter of fact, the first
md winning run of the Giants could
be attributed directly to an error by
canteloupe Charlie; consequently it
wasn't up to him to say much.
But the crowd enjoyed the dramatic
Possibilities to the full and egged on
the celebrated case of Rerzog vs.. Nc
Graw as we'll as they were able. Now
that the first game has been played
With no combative interregnum, the
Giants and the Braves may take The
Knives from their boots, the guns from
their belts and the powdered glass
from their pants pockets. 1t looks
like quiet season all the way round
and Herzog, you will admit, got the
dough.
The Braves are a puny looking ag-
eEegation when compared with our
sEashbuckling Giants. Their 1913 ag-
gIegztion is reminiscent Of those pre-
Ssallings days, when they fed from the
band and turned back somersaults at
the crack of the whip. They were tame
birds those days.
Now they have lot of Masseys and
Hicklands and Powells and Caravans,
Of whom nobody ever heard and prob
ABLY no one ever will hear a great deal,
connected with their spring payroll,
md it was quite to be expected that
Ae Giants would give these Great Un-
fnowns sound spanking.

Bunny Hcarne pitched against An
