Winters, the youngster, was sent in
1t was Youngsters Day at the Polo
Grounds, for after Dubuc had been
taken out, having filled the bases and
allowing one run to be forced across,
Winters went in and held the Phillies
to one more run. Thereafter he held
them entirely safe. The winning run
for the Giants in the eighth was in
ltated by Young, another mere youth,
who started in with a clean two-bag-
ger out to the left field wall.
This does not mean that the veteran
French Canadian is all in. He will be
of considerable assistance to the
Giants later on. But as the bali play
er grows older it takes a long touch
of summer to put him at his best, es-
pecially when his speciality is pitching.
These youths, like Winters, seem to
come into the game ready as early as
this section OF May-that is some
young players do.
Some Poor Support
Frank Woodward. who worked for
the Phillies, pitched a nice game, but
did not get the best support in the
world. At this stage of the game it
pitchers would have to be self-sup-
porting. The Giant Tank could not
get cranked up for any mad dashes
against Woodward. Dubuc hit him the
hardest wallop. but he stalled off any
consecutive hitting stunts.
The Phillies got their first run in
the second inning when the support
Of Monsieur Dubuc failed him. Meu-
sci, who IS to Monsieur Dubuc what
the Loup Garou is to his brother habi-
tans in Canada-a sort of evil spirit
or Jinx-started the trouble bv get
ting base on balls. One can not
put them over the plate to a loup
garou, can he? The loup garou
would knock them out of the lot. Did
rot Meusel demonstrate that after
ward by making another two Dagger,
his third in two days?
1t was after this Meusel, who is
possessed of the evil spirit toward the
Giants, had been given the necessary
base on balls, that he stole second
when cur Monsieur McCarty. who sell
dom does such a thing, made wild
throw Monsieur Doyle had to leap
into the air for at least kilometre to
would that Meusel have scored. Then,
to prove that the Meusel was of jinx
to the Giants, Cady hit the ball to
Monsieur Doyle, who permitted it to
roll between his sabots. 1t is not the
custom of Monsieur Doyle to do this.
But, behold, my children, he did so, and
Meusel scored with the first run.
But it was difficult for the loup garou
TO overcome one of the stout heart
Behold, then. in the second inning, our
Monsieur Dubuc, our Jean, has come to
the bat with three out. He laughs
scornfully in the face of the loup garou,
this Meusel. He takes with him his
bat which is as long as the maple tree
OF Canada, and he swings it. Behold
the ball; it attains the limits of the
centre field, and Monsieur Dubuc has a
three ebagger for the glory of the land
Of the maple leaf and for the confusion
of the loup garou.
Monsieur Burns then comes to the
bat and hits the bail to Baird, not the
dear Baird Of the Giants, but the Baird
of the Phillies. Baird, he throws the
ball badly to Monsieur Luderus and
Jean Dubuc, Jean of Montreal, comes
home with the first run of the Giants.
All is confusion then with the Phillies,
Tor Monsiuer Burns hastens on to sec
ond. In a moment he scores on a wild
pitch, running all the way in, while
Monsieur Cady is attempting to find
the ball.
Another Run in Third
Again in the third do the Giants
achieve run. This time it is Monsieur
Doyle, the gallant Larrie, who hits the
ball into right field and steals second
to the confusion of the Phillies.
Monsieur Zimmerman, who is known
IN that dear Bronx as LIE Grande Zim,
le beau garcon, he brings home Larrie
with hit. The score was then 3 to
and it looked like bad afternoon for
the loup garou.
Until the sixth inning Monsieur Jean
Dubuc looked like a million dollars, in
stead Of the paltry s2,500 which had
been paid to obtain him back from the
minors. 1t mattered not that Meusel
rad nit him for two bases in the fourth
for no score was made. But in the
sixth the spell of the loup garou was
ielt once more.

base on balls. Luderus chopped a
