SCHUPP FAILS TO LAST
by FREDERICK G. LIEB.

It is too bad that the National League
has not provided the Giants with more
morning games. John McGraw could
then keep Ferdie Schupp on hand Just
to fulfill his after breakfast engage
ments. The hinge in Ferdie's left ell
bow seems to work smoothest when the
morning dew Is still on Hen Fabian's
clover.
On Decoration Day morning "schup.
pie" shook his left arm so dextrousiy
and energetically at the Dodgers that
only three reached frst base in seven
innings. The Louisville lefthander
showed as much on that holiday morn
as he ever did In his life, and the
Giants confldentially believed that
Schupp's famed wins was back to stay.
But the Pills evidently never had
heard of that Decoration Day engage
ment. Yesterday on the Polo Grounds
the Quaker slugeers treated Schupp with
no more respect than was bestowed on
him In the era prior to 1916, when
Schupp and Schauer were the prey of
the tokesmiths around the circuit.
Coon1bs's lads cuffed Ferdie for six runs
in four innings. and in Frank Woodward,
Colby Jack dug UP a pitcher who could
hold the lead. Philadelphia won the
third tilt of the set by a score Of 7 to 4.
Woodward Locals Nemesis.
Woodward. one of the few bright spots
on the Quaker pitching staff, has given
the Giants share Of trouble all spring.
Doyle yesterday lit on Frank for a homer
in the first inning with Burns and Young
on the trails. but after the first inning
only three more hits were jolted out of
the youngster.
woodward also is one OF those strange
baseball creatures,-a pitcher who can
hit. And how that lad did biff them
In four times up he slammed a triple
aA,1 two singles and took a base on balls.
Hfs ATS were closely interviewer in the
Philadelphia scoring. as he tailed twice
and knocked in another run.
The Phil first base department Wed
Win woodward for the Quaker hitting
honors. Whitfield. who played first base
for eight innings. propelled a homer and
two singleA while Luderus, who got into
the game In the ninth, cracked a single.
"Ludy' is hobbling around on a
charley horse. but as he has played in
more than four hundred successive games
he wants to keep his string intact. The
Quaker first baseman is after the record
held by Eddie Collins OF the White Sox,
who played In close to 1--WE hundred con-
secuttve games before he was stopped.
Luderus wants to make It 500.
Cady Gets the Gate.
Either the Polo Grounds Jumps" are
getting very officious or the visiting ath-
letes are behaving most unruly No game
passes on the Harlem green without
somebody getting the gate. Yesterday
Forrest Cady offended Petey Harrison
and got an early trip to the cooler. The
fans don't like It, either. Harrison
couldn't have been PANIED more had he
thrown out Doyle or some other local ia
yorite.
The Pills got busy in the first and
coined run. Whitfield stunR a single to
right and Williams followed suit. Land
and air sacrifices by Meusel and Dug
Baird put Whitfield over
The Giants came back strong and gave
Woodward a tough session. Burns
doubled and took third on a passed ball.
Young walked and stole second as Chase
famed. Doyle then rocked the ball into
the right field stand, Georgia and Ross
amoling In ahead of him. It was the
eighteenth home run OF the year for the
Giants. They ought to make homo run
history this year.
Passes to Sticking and Woodward and
Whitted's single got one run back for
tho Phillles in the second. and they
tied with another run In the third.
Meusel singled and was forced by Baird.
who stole second. Cravath took his base
on balls. Pearce forced old Gabby at
second, but Doyle threw wild trying for
double play and Baird scored.
PhiIlies Clinch Victory.
Tho Phillies won with three runs In
