The marlborough series between the
Giants and the Dodgers Is getting as
one-sided as fuss between O married
man and his wife. Like the humble Mr..
Husband. the Dodgers can't even get a
word in edgewise.
1t was a glorious holiday on the Polo
Grounds yesterday for the Giants and
me National Exhibition Company. The
Giants decorated the Dodgers with two
more beatings and Mossrs. Stoneham,
McGraw ana McQuade took in enough
coin OF the realm to decorate their stu
dos with tens and "twenties."
More than $4,000 persons paid to see
the Giants register their double knoex-
out and only the limited capacity of the
Brush Stadium prevented the afternoon
crowd alone from exceeding this figure.
In the after breakfast session the Dod-
gers bowed to the superior prowess of
the Manhattan bats by a score of to
with 10000 crowd looking on. II
was one Of the best morning hoiiaay
crowds that yet have attended q local
professional game. Usually the New
Yorker doesn't like to sacrifice his beauty
sleep TO attend a ball game.
In the afternoon contest the Dodgers
receded another notch in the percentage
column, New York winning by a score
Of to /. More than $4,000 saw this
game.
The Giants made Il five straight from
the F1atbushers. incidentally the Dod-
gers are on a losing streak, which II
not stopped in the near future II likely
to have dangerous consequences.
The Giants played rafting good base
hall all day. but the brightest spct 81
the holiday programme was the pitch
nj L.. r.
festival Schupp went to the rescue Of
Poll Perritt in the third inning with
none out The little Louisville lett
handler yielded q base on balls and q
hit In that inning. when two runs scored,
but after that Brooklyn got only one
more single. Only three men reached
base on him in seven full innings.
"Schuppy is back!" yelled the Giants
In glee as they ran off to the clubhouse
after the morning game, and well they
could AFFORD to be gleeful. For II
Schuppy Is back in his 1917 form the
National League race soon will be a
cakewalk for the Giants.
Schupp actually had that old hop on
his fast htll which made him such a
terror to opposing batsmen two years
ago. The Dodgers couldn't even touch
II. lack Wheat, National League bat
ting champion. looked so bal trying to
hit Ferdie that Robby removed him
from his lineup after lack had famed
twice.
Dodger Errors "Timely."
The Dodgers again proved that they
can insert errors in more damaging
places than any other team you can
mention. In the morning encounter
Larry Cheney started his first game Of
the season and five runs were made
Off him In seven innings. Despite tn.
fact that Zimmerman lifted one of
Larry's hoaters into the right field stand
with two on the bases in the third In
ming. only one of the five runs or Che 1
ney were earned. With perfect support
the side would have been retired run
less before Zimm came up.
The morning fray was used by both
managers to give veteran pitchers their
first real chance OF the season. Like
Cheney, Perritt also started his first
game OF the year. Poll got out OF a
nasty jam in the second when Zin-
norman made a great catch of Olson's
low liner with the bases full. When
Perritt started the third by passing
Lee Magee. McGraw decided the oil
magnate had been in long enough and
sent for Schupp.
Tommy Griffith evidently hadn't rub
bed all the sleep out OF his eyes as he
helped the Giants 20 a pair of runs In
the first inning. Young doubled TO left
