The boasted fireworks in big hitting
aaat the Giants were to touch off have
been most conspicuous BY their absence
SO far, and the whole Queen City is
iub;lant tonight with the feeling that
they have the big sluggers completely
stopped.
While the Reds didn't hit Rube Ben
ton and Jean Dubuc hard to-day, they
rung them in just at the right moment
to do the most damage. Their rally
in the third, netting three runs, came
with two out, but the drives were all
hard hit--nothing scratchy about them.
The big IF came in there, for IF Zim-
norman had handled bounder by
any scoring and Benton probably
would have kept on pitching. He was
going strong when he was taken out
for pinch hitter
All Cincinnati was out. The crowd
numbered about $4,000, jamming the
park to its capacity and overfowing
into left and right fields and along the
third and first base lines in front of
the big grandstands.
The crowd was orderly, and there
was no demonstration of any conse-
quence against the visitors beyond the
usual hooting and booing. The UNI
pires also came off scathless, as the
Reds didn't kick while they were win
ming and the Giants did most of the
protesting.
Governor James M. Cox came into
the grandstand and was escorted to q
flag draped box a few. moments before
game time. The band played "The
Star-Spangled Banner" and then the
Governor and his escort went out to
the home plate. The Giants and Reds
came out and lined up in good old
Opening of the season" style, and Pat
Moran was told to step three PAGES to
the front. Then the Governor made
short speech-which none of the 25,0O0
present heard-and gave Pat a plush
covered case with fine $4O0 diamond
bcdecked watch. 1t was knights of
= Columbus Day, and the knights gave
the present.
Tnen the Governor took two large
bouquets Of flowers from his follow
crs and presented one to Manager Nc
Graw It's a cinch he'll lose votes in
Cincinnati next fall, for the boots and
boos of protest that went up were
deafening. But finally they died down,
and the cheers for Moran as he re-
ceived his bouquet became supreme.
The shock at receiving floral
bouquet where he had been receiving
bouquets of abuse and billingsgatc' al
most unnerved McGraw, but he man
eyed to pull himself together in time
TO start the game.
Doyle Fails in Pinch
Arthur Fletcher helped himself to
the first hit of the game in the first
frame, when he lashed a long drive to
right centre Neale got his fnger-tips
on the ball, but lost it, and Fletcher
went clear to third. Doyle failed to
spatter in front of the plate.
Benny Kauff pulled bone for "the
book" in the second inning. He beat
out an nfeld single and dashed for
second on the first ball pitched. Zim-
norman hit to Sallee, but the pitcher
'aade no play on Kauff, throwing out
Zim at first. Benny, however. thought
strayed off the bag, and a quick throw
by Daubert caught him for a queer
double play. The jeers, howls of de
rison and cries of Joy at the blunder
were deafening.
Just as brilliant the other way was
a marvellous play by Ross Young in
the last half Of the same inning. With
Roush out by the fly route, Neale hit
f1y to left into the crowd for two bases.
Kopf drew a pass. Bressler popped
short fly to right which Young got af-
ter a sharp run.
whoa Bill" Rariden, amid tumult
of applause, stung pretty single to
right and Neale started for the plate.
He never got there, for Young came
diving in, scooped the pill like an in
fielder and sent it on line to Snyder
at the plate, who caught Neale "stand-
ing up"
Rally in the Third
The Reds big rally in the third
came after two were out, and the trou-
bic that ensued shouldn't be charged
to Benton. With Sallee sand Rath out
of the way, Daubert singled to left.
Groh hit to Zimmerman, who played
the ball on the wrong bound. 1t got
away from him, and ne ended by get
ting neither man.
Then Roush singled to right, scor-
ing Daubert, and when Young threw
past Zim into the New York dugout
Groh also went in and Roush made
third. He scored on Neale's single to
left
After McCarty hit for Benton in the
opening of the sixth, Jean Dubuc went
on the mound for New York and the
Reds proceeded to sew up the game.
Dubuc passed Roush, the first man up,
and when Neale essayed a sacrifice bunt
Jean threw the ball past Chase, and
both men were safe. Then he passed
Kopf, filling the bags with none out.
Bressler forced Kopf on good stop
by Fletcher and Roush scored on the
play. Bill Rariden hit to Dubuc and
Ncac died at the plate, Dubuc to Sny-
der. The danger looked over, but, with
two strikes on him, "Slim" Sallee thun-
dered an entirely unlocked for wallop
over Young's head into the crowd. Two
runs came in and Slim went to the
third station.
Dubuc further increased the tumult
by passing Rath, but Larry Doyle made
circus backward running catch of
Daubert's fly and the side was finally
retired. The first applause came to
Doyle for his good capture. possibly
because the crowd felt that with six
run lead they could afford to be gen.
erous.
But for Dubuc's wildness the Reds
should not have scored in this frame,
they made only one hit. Jean prob
ably held Sallee too cheaply. Dubuc
did we'll in the seventh and eighth, al
lowing hit in each, with no scoring,
bat the damage had been done
