Well. that Giant "woim" did "to.n"!
In fact. we actually can report the
Harlem patient greatly improved. After
the Reds got through with the Giants
last Wednesday lot of folks thought
nothing had been left of a once robust
remnant hope but corpse. But it was
a real lively corpse on the Polo Grounds
yesterday Even the Cincy Reds will
say It was
Not satisfied with three twin bills In
taree sittings, the Giants and Reds put
on five extra rounds in the first game
yesterday. Big Fred Toney and Jimmy
Ring of Brooklyn fought 1t out for four
teen stirring rounds before a mud hit by
Hal Chase decided 1t for the Tennessee
mountaineer The score was 2 to l.
The Giants grabbed eight runs In the
nrst three innings of the second bout
and both teams finished with their bench
militia. McGraw's grenadiers captured
that one by to 8.
After four stiff games the Giants and
Reds are exactly where they started, the
Reds being four and half games in
front. It's Just like running around in
circle. II you ~vander long enough
you'll get back to the starting place.

know what they missed yesterday. Cold,
threatening weather reduced the 5000
crowd of the previous day to 10000.
Unquestionably many persons expected
the management to call off the show
They probably would have, but this is
Cincinnatrs last appearance here.
However. there were a lot of faint
hearts after Wednesdays double upset.
Faint hearts win no pennants Stii,

the old Polo orchard to the gunwhales
again to-day. Where there's life there's
hope. To-day's games will be played
, even IL the weather is threatening, pro-
Vided, OF course, the grounds are in fit
condition.
The teams threw a whole lot of extra
thrills into yesterdays bargain bill
hro extra rounds IN the first game and a
mob scene in the second. The mob scene
will be dressed up rich in Cincinnati.
They'll have the Reds massacred by the
bloodthirsty hlrelings of the National

Benton Ordered to Clubhouse.
1t was one of those comic opera base
ball fights, in which everybody does a
lot of swinging and jawing and nobody
ever gets hurt. Benton did take couple
OF swings at Adolfo Luque. the Cuban
hurler, and as result was ordered out
or the pastime by Ernie Quigley.
The Giants knocked Rube Bressler out
In the first inning of the second game
and then Adolfo Luque tried IT, He kept
shooting the ball close to the beans of
the Giants and there was q lot of harsh
words said about II. Especially did
Frank Snyder object to having his top
piece used as target. The fans, too,
began TO hop on the Cuban.
In the third inning Benton hunted
on squeeze play, sending Zimmerman
home. Luque fielded the ball near tbe
base line and jabbed the pill into Rube's
ribs. Evidently John Calhoun decided
mat Luque had applied too much axle
grease, Then Rube started for the tan
ned son OF The caribbean and aimed a
couple of punches at Adolfo. The Cuban
retreated without trying to hit back
