Giants Resume Their Summer Pastin1e
OF Drubbing the DefenceleSS Dodgers
Pitchers Come and Go Fast,
Almost Like a Pro-
cession

toward him, he spat in preparation on
his glove, and mittcd the ball with firm
embrace. That trial being over he was
off to start that will carry MIN over
years of Polo Ground effort.
Only in the third inning did Young
slip. With Cheney on second, Daubert
singled to right. Cheney is not fast
and Young has marvellous arm.
Those who have followed the Giants
through the South leaned forward in
the expectancy of Cheney being thrown
out by city block if he rounded third
Surprisingly enough, Young threw to
second with no attempt to get Larry
at the plate. At the time Cheney was
running as though he had a trunk on
his back, as press box wit observed,
and Young's throw was almost an in
excusable error OF omission. that per-
haps was superntcnded by his veteran
lntleld--that is, if any one of them
called for the ball.
Giants Up to Claims
But the important thing is that the
young Texan broke into big town go
ing successfully and now that this or
deal is passed he may be counted upon
to play his normal game, and at his
normal game he is a star of the first
brilliance
The New York club, as a whole, lived
up to the advance notices of it's Of
tensivc power. 1t busted through the
pitching of Marquard and Cheney, and
reached Grimes, the third Robinson
choice, with sufficient power to clinch
the game. Defensivcly the Giants saggcd
as it also had been previously pre-
dicted. One pitcher failed in the cru
inf fio1I NJ
as did Kauf in the outficld, and the
victory withal was directly predicated
upon the tremendous offensive that
Offset and will continue to offset the
inequalities of the defence.
The Brooklyn club is a not unlikely
aggregation that has plenty of speed
afoot, no little hitting ability and a
rather in-and-out defence. O'Mara
played pretty game at third; Olson
was unreliable as usual at short; the
new second baseman, Ray Schmandt
did we'll in the field on the chances
protfcred him, and Jake Daubcrt was
as brilliant and individual as usual
both in the field and at bat. BROOKLYN
sun from pitching weakness, which
has seemed chronic afflictiun of the
Flatbush Fusleers.
Zim Pulls Another One
The freak play of the game pivotcd
about the young Bronnix Adonis,
Heinie Zimmerman, who has been
rather the football of eracclcss rods
Helnie pulled one in the third inning
assisted by Walter Holke, that is sci
dom equalled. With Olson on first
base and Cheney on second OMara hit
a line drive to the Great Zim. Zim
cIutchcd the ball, and for moment It
seemed he was to hold it, but it Got
away from him and fell at his feet
The base runners, fearing double
play, had scootcd back to their ouon
dam bases, and thus it was obvious
/ that all Mr.. Zimmerman had tn do wa.
to step on third base to effect a force
out.
If he had gone to third and then
thrown to second he would have com.
plcted double play, which would have
nccn smart and fast thinking baseball.
But the great Zm is not academic in
his baseball plotting. He picked nm ~
the ball and threw to first, thereby
nabbing OMnra, but extending tbe
hospitality Of the first and second
bases to the Brooklyn runners.
Or If Ho lko had pondercd moment
he might have returned tho hall to
the great Zim for second ruegs--thc
glorics OF which are sung daily hv
grandstnnd managers and still com.
nlctod double play, for Chcncv and
olson Ind not stirred from their hauoa
