n ma be painfully recalled hat the
Giants OF the pf resent decace have won
the title of the worlds champion worlds
championship losers
That Cincinnati lead sprouted on Har-
lem loan yesterday i Ike the gre-n bay
tree OF a noble biblical metaphor. When
the relentless Reds got through with
their double header there wasn't much
left but the remains. The Reds tum-
bled over the Giants in the first
bout by a score of 4 to 3. Concluding
that one good tumble deserves another,
the Reds upset the Harlem lads IN the
second tilt by 2 to l. By that time The
Reds were six and a half games in
front and couldn't see anything uu,

Giants Are ListIess.
II wasn't much Of a home coming for
the Giants. They looked meek and list
less beside the spicy, alert, energetic
Reds. Moran's Daisies look as tnouss
they are going somewhere, n intend
TO get there quickly. The Gianrs have
every appearance of going in the op-
posite direction.
Quite an %outpouring of the towns
cltlzenry saw the Giants give the Reds
first one cheek to slap and then the
other. The crowd made baseball his

series crowds that beat yesterdays mob
can be counted on ones left hand.
The first game of the 1911 worlds Sc
ries drew 3s.2s1 fans. and that always
has been the Polo Grounds high water
mark. Some believe that attendance was
beaten yesterday, as the fan were
standing five and six feet deep around
both the lower and upper stand. and they
even were standing in the bleachers. The
Crowd was close to 10000.
A quarter of an hour before the first
gone started there wasn't a seat to be
lild In the lower stand. After the fourth
inning nothing was left but the bleacis.rs
and the sun seats jammed up by the
second game. These bleachers rave been
filed only two or three times since the
new stand was built after the big bonfire
Of 1871.
Crash Through Gate.
About the third inning of the first game
seine of the mob outside crashed
through an exit gate and about 500 goi
in without even slipping Uncle Sam q

didn't have the time. Several "khak
kops' were brushed aside by the STAN
rede, but others Of their kind heard Their
cries for succor and soon the sacred por'
tai was shut again. 1t added a little
thrill to the excitement.
The remarkable thing about the size
Of the crowd is that the skies threatened
10 upset into the ballyard at any mo-
ment, and It did sprinkle in spurts al
throug- the double header.

Perhaps the Gotham crowd was not as
much het up over the affair as were the
hurghers of the Ohio Rhineland a re"
weeks ago when the Giants called IT
Cincinnati, but the local fans were morf
rteaned up over the affair thai many
mort critics had suspected.
A Noisy Gathering.
They came out with rattles, sirens
fog horns and similar OF
torture for the ear drums. II must %
admitted that 1t i'll behooves a New
York fan TO carry a rattle to an I'M
portant baseball event. Past perform

When the fans had a chance to opei

the eight inning of the first game Chas'
sent in a run with a triple with one out
and the Giants needed only one NOR
run for a tie. The din was continuoui
for ten minutes and sounded like New
Years night in the vicinity Of Forty
second street and Broadway.

But the excitement subsidized auto

Boos Turn to Cheers.
Many came to boo the Reds. but lef
to cheer them. Perhaps in a spirit o
retaliation a small portion OF the crow
started to boo the various Reds as the.

booed the s~uper-miracle a Pat Moran
He's the last fellow in the world an,
one should want to hiss.
AS the Giants kept going through thei
hstless CLUB swinging exhibition In tn
second game, the booing ended and tn
Reds were cheered for their smart plays
After Sherwood Magee knocked in tn
two Reds runs in the second game tn
left field bleachers boys gave him
demonstration when he walked out {
