showed the first signs Of ennui and
titude might really have become ex-
cited over the first game and over Long
George Kelly. This altitudinous youth,
who used to smash q lot Of fences in
the international League, just seemed
to get the range at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. 1t was his clean hit to CEN
ire that helped the Giants get their
first run in the eighth.
1t seems too bad that Big Bill Lange
was not on the lot yesterday. Every
time that William was here to watch
nephew crack them out. nephew used
to slice hunks out of the atmosphere,
which was very embarrassing for Will
lam. who was on the point Of disown-
ing the relationship. Georges work of
yesterday puts him right back on
speaking terms with his uncle.
Star Catch by Young
Ross Young got himself bath in the
lmelight during the first game. 1t was
in the second inning, with Holke on.
Leslie Mann drove hit that went
whistling for the right field wall. So
certain was Holke that the ball would
smash against the wall and rebound
for double that he rounded second
and was on his way to third. Young
scooted back, and just as the bail was
about to crash against the wall he
made leap of four feet and caught
the ball. Before Holke could even
consider running back Young passed
the ball to Kelly and completed a spec
tacuiar double.
have the word of Henry Fabian
that it was most sensational play.
Il have seen only one man who could
make play like that declared Henry.
THAT player was Davey Robertson, and

or so ago"
Fred Toney started for the Giants
and lasted three innings The big
highlander has been sick for some
time and he was near a collapse when
Fletcher advised him to leave the field
good ball. 1t is pretty hard for 220-
pound athlete to get the sympathy that
is due an invalid, though almost as
hard as it is for fat man with a
secret sorrow to get somebody to weep
with him Winters was sent in for
an inning, and Rube Benton finally
went in to finish it.
1t was tense and humid struggle
until the eighth, when Long Georgc

Thorpe was sent in to run for Lank

Thorpe to third. Then the double

Fordham Flash, became somewhat be-
wildered.
Frisch Loses His Head
Snyder heaved the ball down tc
Frisch, who held it while Thorpe shot
across the plate. The Fordham FLASH
is likely youngster, but not yet quite
seasoned This was one place where
he lost his head.
After that it looked as though the

hit came to the rescue and the swelter

lower stand during the seventh innin;
and broke about four feet from Han
Gowdy and Larry Doyle. That's tn
mystery Of it. Why should anybod
want to bean Larry Doyle or Han
Gowdy with pop bottle or any othe
deadly weapon?
Inspector Daley, of the Police Dc
partment, went up into the stand
with posse to investigate. His theor
is that it was somebody driven mad b
the heat, or perhaps some tineral
Cincinnati fan who imagined for me
ment that he was back in the HON
park.
Fletcher, who had not been fcelin
very we'll, dropped out of the secon
game and Frisch played short Will
Larry Doyle was back at the old jo
of second basing. Bill Ryan, of Hol
Cross and Buffalo, promising rigi
handler, started for the Giants an

something, and as soon as he gets
uniform with the trousers more St
curely fastened he will not only stal
but finish 2 game for the Giants
