Hugo Bezdek. the roiypoly manager
OF the Pirates, yesterday had Earl Ham
bton all primed TO duplicate Wilbur
Coopers shutout against the Giants the
previous afternoon. Earl, pronounced
'ptl" by some of our citizens. had been
rested especially for the occasion. and
being left handed like Cooper he too was
expected 10 bite q, slice out Of New
Yorks percentage
But In the sixty inning of yesterdays
tin on the Polo Grounds the Giants gave
the former Prov ME a terrible lambast-
ing. They blew the last two syllables of
his name and left nothing but the

yelled a happy Bronxonian as the little
left handler picked up his glove and faded
into the clubhouse,
All told Il was a most unsatisfactory
afternoon for the pudgy Hugo. The
Giants evened up the series, taking the
second tilt Of tho set by score Of
Q TO 2.

While the Giants were at bat In the

changed q few wallops on the bench, but
fellow players quickly pinned the arms
Of the hstic enthusiasts and told them
what a face Mr.. willard recently carried
around as the result OF his combat with
Dempsey. BY the time McGraw arrived
at the scene of excitement from the third
base coaching line in double quick there
was nothing left but smoke. Rigler and
Byron. the umpires, evidently didn't take
the matter very seriously, as neither
player was disciplined.
The little quarrel did not hurt the play
Of either athlete. Benton pitched great
ball after the incident and Fletcher made
some grand plays behind him. Artie also
started of that merry sixth with a SIN
gle, the opening volley of six run
charge.
The Pirates got to Benton for ten hits,
only one less than the Giants made OF
Hamilton and Mayer. hut they were un-
able to bunch them when hits meant
runs.
A $4,000 crowd was out for the ball
game and 1t was an enthusiastic gather

RIOTERS, They have the spirit OF the
old time partisan crowd and they nearly
raised the roof during that six run
outburst In the sixth.
Giants Take Lead, in First.
The Giants got Off to a one run lead
In the first inning. With one out Young
bounced an infeld single out of Ham
iltons glove and moved to second when
Cutshaw tossed out Fletcher. Baird
clipped a neat single to left and scored

Another Giant run came over in the
second. The Bronx delegation had a
few 'happy moments when Heinie Zlm-
norman opened the frame with triple
70 right centre. Heinie breezed in when
Gonzales rolled to Terry.
The Corsairs tied the score amid con-
siderable excitement in the fourth. Terry
opened by slapping a single to left and
Casey Stengel followed suit. Southworth
forced the former Dodger at second and
Terry advanced to third. Zimm made a
nne stop on Cutshaw, but Baird spilled
his throw TO second. Terry scoring. This
vexed John Calhoun Benton. who tossed
his glove into old Mother Earth in a fit
OF wrath. This was one of the seedlings
which started the feud with Fletcher.
Another came moment later.
Fletcher ran behind Cutshaw to catch
him Off his base. Benton pitched at

through the space vacated by Fletcher
That aroused Arties ire. The hit put
Cutshaw on third and he scored on
Catons sacrifice fly.

Everything ended happily in the sixth,
when the Giants broke the tie with a
six run fusillade. Fletcher started off
with single to right and Baird walked.
Kauff. little martyr. advanced the pair
with a sacrifice.
Zimmerman bounded an infield single
away from Terry, scoring Fletcher.
Chase sent another one a mile a minute
through little Cation and Baird scored
Gonzales followed II up with a single
to left, scoring Zimmerman.
Hugo Bezdek had enough OF Hamilton
by that time and yanked him out of the
picture. He put in Erskine Mayer, and
"Erkie" wasn't hit proof. After he
