New-York tribune., 1918-08-06

The Cubs failed to bunt Big Tom,
out Of the pastime, a feat thew ...,s
plished in the first game of tn. ,..;
They tried this sort of attack ea,,, :
the game, but it failed. 81 g.
switched in this frightful eighth -,
the way the line hits rang ont ,,.|
the bats of Weeghman's boys was mos
than a caution.
The harmony resulting from q.
swing of bat against horsehide rem,.
ed one of that sailors band that NJ.
formed so nobly Friday. Thers w.,
real music in the bats of those VIM,
City Bears. ''u'
Toney had one consolation. H.l,,,
ed longer on the hill than did his h.,.. 49,
rival, Jim Vaughn. The southpaw, VIII
stood the Giants on their ears in 4.
first game, WAS treated so roughly s,,
he was gasping in the fourth inn,s,
and reeling in the fifth.
With the perspiration streani,,
from Jim and the scoreboard rerjs,,,'
ing three tallies for the Giants ,m
none for the Cubs, Fred Mitchell tsg M
Jim to bid the New York fans goojbr
for this abbreviated season. Jim v,,
ready to go. 1t was too hot for a sos;
pitcher to overexert himself with "A.
Red Sox looming in the offing.
Toney To Be Pitied
Toney is perhaps more to be piti,s
than censured. For seven innings T.
effective had he been that the Cvb,
were able to collect only two safetis
both of the bunt variety. Everyboi,
was happy, including Toney, despp,
the intense heat which swept dow,
from Coogan's Cliff.
The bulky pitcher was figuring ts,
game as Giant and thereby put d,
McGraw men back in the running 70
the pennant, and, thanks to his han
work under the rays of Old Sol,
was going TO lose at least ffts,
pounds Of unnecessary flesh. He los
both game and flesh.
Pick had fouled to McCarty 81.
Zeider boosted a fly to Burns when Al
first breeze of the afternoon strvi
player, fan and pest" box smack /,
the face. Killifer, the Chicago catcs:.
was standing at the plate prepared =
wilt, as his predecessors had dsat
when the gentle zephyr famed hn
sweaty brow.
Killifer, resuscitated and refrests
smashed the ball to centre. Tow
mopped a few more "beads" from b
arms and face and tried vainly to h
cate the plate for OFarrell, batting 4
place of Nick Carter, who had sue
ceeded Vaughn as the Chicago twrler
O'Farrell walked and Workman was i'm
pressed into service as base runner.
Toney is Excused
Toney mopped some more. only Il
have Flack hit safely TO centre, seor
ing Killifer and putting Workman III
third. 1t seems the faint breeze hst
put life into everybody but Tong
Charley Hollocher never hesitated I
moment in planting a single over SEE
ond that Tailed Workman.
Mann pummelled the tottering Tone
for another hit to right centre, vhltt
scored Flack and tied everything up u
knot. Captain Fletcher then tod
Toney his days work was ended, 81:
the cumbersome ex Red staggered Of
the field.
Cecil Algernon Causey, alias "Rd,'
! the only New York pitcher to win
game from these Cubs on their present
visit here, was called upon by McGnv
to prevent any further casualties. Cecil
| found Hollocher On third and Mann %
| second.
Might Have Saved Run
Old Dode Psskert, the next batter, Il
appeared also, had recovered from M
heat, for he drove q savage grounNa
past Fletcher that counted both Ee'
locher and Mann and won the game
did seem as though bit more alertaa
on the part of Fletcher might bT
saved one tally, but even SO it wo'H
have made no difference in the or
come, for the Giants, as usual, vs
through.
The Cliff Dwellers" took fancy .
the slants of Vaughn IN the very h'F
inning. Burns drew pass and foua
singled to left, Burns reaching secois
Fletcher sacrificed and Doyle hit llss
to left that scored both runners. u u
the fifth Sticking opened with dou's
! to left, the ball taking 8 bad oeuh'
over the neaQ OF flck- Mann inS'. .
poor return Of the ball to HolloeAa
and Sticking continued his journe! "
third.
McCarty was tossed out by Alcs n.
but numbering Tonev drove the peil'.
to right centre for two bases, scona!
Sticking. 1t is unnecessary TO say w.
this crash of Toney's would have N.,
good for at least three sacks II lon.:
had not been obliged TO do the runnlI. y.
That ended the activities O. "
Giants in the scoring line for the si'.,' M
noon. Nick Carter and Phil Dous'sss, y.
who in turn succeeded Vaughn on y.
mound, had no difficulty whatsoeveI. |.
curbing the ambitions Of the opposD'
batsmen. :.
The only hope for the Giants nov ,'..i, ,
TO have the Dodgers repeat their l.a -,
trick worked in Chicago few Ses. .
ago, when, after losing nine strsss.
they upset the Cubs for four games !,
a row. The Giants. in other wo,.,
have run so short of gasolene ths1 ".
have to call on their neighbors 10 A'''
their car running.
