GIANTS TRIUMPH
 OVER PITTSBURGH
Pirate Hurlers Unable to Check Onslaught From
 Giants Bats.

Pittsburgh, July 1.-The Giants fell into a soft place this afternoon, fattening up their batting averages with fourteen hits off two young Pi- rate twirlers, who also were very wild. They won an easy game from the Bezdek Buccaneers by score of g to 4, and as the Cubs lost the Giants gained a full game on the. league leaders. So there is much joy in the I McGraw camp today. Slapnicka, who beat them when they stopped off here last Friday on day, but he got off on the wrong foot.
 Young Comstock, the Pirates new est pitching recruit, took up the pitch ing burden, and the Giants kept right after him.
 Al Demaree was never in trouble except in the fifth, when errors by Doyle, Zimmerman and Fletcher and three hits gave the Pirates four tall lies. The bases were full and only one out when Cutshaw hit into a dou- | blep lay.> The Giants met an old friend today when Tommy Leach, who played on | the Pittsburgh pennant winning team in 1900 and for many years thereaf- ter, got back into the game at short stop in Caton's place in the fifth inn ing. Tommy is still "there," old as he is. He made a hit and scored a run in the Pirates rally in the fifth and fielded his position well.
 Zimmerman, Fletcher, Wilhoit and Halke made two hits apiece today and Lew McCarty blew himself to three one of them being a double. Car son Bigbee did the best clouting for the Pirates, getting a double and g triple.
 ! Young's ankle is still weak and he retired with victory assured and Thorpe took his place in right field
 Jim kept up his batting streak of yes. terday, getting one safely in his two times at bat.
 The Giants will face Wilbur Cooper and Bullets" Miller in the next two
 games and if they beat one of these
 top notchers they figure they should
 have the better of the series.
