GIANTS HOPES
CRUSHED when
REDS TAKE TWO
Crowd Of 10000 in Polo Grounds
Sees M'Graw's Men Licked
in Handy Fashion.

New York. Aug. 1.-The pen
nant hopes of New York's Giants
received a crushing blow at the
Polo grounds yesterday when Gin
cinnati won both games of a
double header and advanced its
lead to six and a half games in the
National league championship race.
The Reds won the first game, TO
2, and repeated in the second, 2
to 1.
The crowd that saw the two
games has never been approached
here before outside of world SER
les games, and it exceeded most of
these. Long before the first game
was over the entire grandstand was
sold out, while thousands stood in
the aisles Then the spacious
bleachers were crowded, the entire
crowd being estimated close to
10000
Left Handlers Turn Trick.
The Giants fell before the skill
of Cincinnati's two left handlers,
the youngster, Ruether, and the
Nehf, the newly acquired left
handler, in the first game, while
Sallee won a tight pitchers battle
from Douglas in the second game.
: 1t was the first time Nehf and
Douglas had appeared on the Polo
grounds in New York uniform.
In the first game New York got
off to a two run lead in the second
inning on singles by Chase and
Zimmerman, a wild throw by Neale
and a single by Snyder. Scores:

Brooklyn, n. 7, Aug. 14.-Chi-
cago and Brooklyn halved the out
come Of a 22-inning double header
yesterday, but not the rounds. The
Cubs won the first scrap, to 8,
in regulation time, and the Robins
the second, 8 to 2, in Is spasms
Half the battle took place in a
St Swithin drizzle, formerly known
as Scotch mist.
locher, Merkle, and Robertson, and
the disablement of F1ack, big Hip
po Vaughn trimmed the wings of
the Robins in the first game. Al
Mamaux won the second game from
a trio of Cub hurlers. Not only did
Mamaux do a lit of pitching, ex-
cept in the eighth inning, but he
repaired his mistake in that round
by driving home the winning tally
in the thirteenth.
KnOckdOWnS Feature Show,
There were lots of odd things IN
the second combat, which took the
form of a knockdown affair at
times. Myers knocked Hendrix eff
his pins in the sixth with a liner
that would have won the game but
for the quick recovery of the ball
by Hollocher, heading off a tally
Robertson knocked Mamaux to a
hot drive in the seventh but NJ
was on his knees for the count Of
three and able to retire his man
without arising.
In the woozy eighth round Ma
maux made the mistake of passing
Hollocher on the strength of his
batting in the first game, and Her
Zog hit a single so hard that It
lost the game, because Magee was
not able to score from second on it
and because Hollocher ran the
bases with his head down and did
not see Boss Mitchell stop Magee
from running into certain death.

battle. The Fort Wayne bantam on
account Of his previous appearance
here when he defeated Roy Moore
before Babe Meanor's club is pretty
much the favorite, although Pur-
years reputation as a fighter is re-
sected. The going promises to be
fast and furious from the first gong
as a decisive victory for either
means a chance at Pete Herman'g5
faltering title.
The show is under the auspices

with Frankie Sinnett OF Moline in

rounds. Sinnett at one time was
topnotcher among the little fellows
and he still has a good fight in him
Caponi has a great following Of
fans in the Island city. all Of whom
are planning on seeing him per

CITY HALL WILL NOT BE
IMPROVED FOR SOME TINE

There has been no official action
taken On the matter Of the proposed
improvement OF the city hall Mayor
protein p C. Semple stated Wednes-
day morning: We all know that the
city hall is overcr0wded and that
more Office space is badly needed. We
al discuss various and sundry
methods that could be done TO i'm
prove the situation However. that is
al in the subjunctive- Several times
I have spoken CT the possibility OF
erecting a building upon the triangle
that is now a park and renting the
space not needed by the city officers
and making some money on the build
ing for the city.
In speaking Of the present site Of
the city hall. ar. Semple said: Il was
looking over the records recently and
as matter OF fact the triangle park
east Of the city hall is a part Of the
street There would be nothing in
the way Of the city Il IL wanted tn
exchange or sell this property and
build elsewhere Mr.. Pittman has a
good idea Of charging the city hall,
but with the funds Of the city as low
as they are today am afraid Il viii
be a long time before any real action
can be taken on that matter"
