Luque on Mound for West ern Team Holds New York to Four Hits-Causey on Mound for Giants and Loses Game After Win ming Seven Straight.

New York, Aug. 9.---The Cuban al- Mes of Matty's Cincinnati Reds, Adolph Luqus and Cutie Cueto, turned Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon and htook the lead in the hostile demon Astration against McGraws waning s3champions of a year ago, said hostile E demonstration winding up in 5-to-2 a defeat for New York.
 S Luque's name was a puzzle for the N ssbleachers. Matty, his boss, who ought 7 to know how to pronounce his name, ' calls him Luke-ee, while the Giants 5on the other hand called him lot of Aother things. Mattys association with his Cuban allies has made him an ac- Ecomplished linguist. He can speak < Cuban, Spanish, and can also engage the Cubans in both the Cincinnati and New York dialects of the English lan- guage,
 ~ Luque did the pitching for Cincin- *hati, and did 1t well. McGraw's in different troupe got only four hits and made no desperate struggle to get any more. Cecil Algernon Causey met his first defeat after seven straight vic tories, and Bob Steele finished the 1game. It was a bitter pill for Alger- snon to swallow to be downed by the Reds.
 5-- It wasn't only Luques pitching that aided Cincinnati, but also his batting. He had a perfect day at the bat, mak- ing two singles, a sacrifice, and get ting base on balls out of four times up. The other Havana stogie, Cueto, ! got a double and two singles. There was nothing wildly exciting about the game, the Giants taking their daily trimming with gentle resignation. The Giants act as if they realized that they werent't going anywhere in par ticular, a realization in which they are perfectly correct.
 Cincinnati started to worry Causey In the third inning. WingO opened the stanza with a double to left and Luque sacrificed him to third. Groh rolled to Fletcher, who tossed Wingo oYt at the plate. Groh stole second, but Neale was thrown out at first and the Cincinnati uprising was tenn porarily postponed. Eddie Roush Tipped open the fourth inning with a double to left and Sherry Magee sac tificed. Griflth's single sent Roush home. Cueto edged into the picture very prominently at this stage and with two-base slap to right pushed Griffith home. BlaclNburne and Wingo
 both fouled out to McCarty.
 , In their portion of that same inning the Giants snatched a run. Doyle got D pass and Kirke famed. Wilhoit Tapped a single to right and Griffith let the ball trickle through his feet tc
