the Giants yesterday afternoon in the
presence of $4,000 fans. the largest
wash day" throng in the history Of tho
Polo Grounds. set upon the much bat
tered Stallings tribe and drubbed them
by to T.
The margin of victory would have
neen much larger but for much bizarre
base running on the part of the Harlem
snrinters which drew forth some timely
throwing by the Bostonians.
The two most gratifying features OF

as IL might have been, were the hitting
OF the Giants and the pitching of Jesse
Barnes, the oklahoma Oak" Jess held
The Braves to seven scattered blows,
albeit three of the thumps were solid

ftous points OF view. he was effective in

Braves Ninth Defeat.

as that of Tantalus, the unfortunate
gentleman who was extremely hungry,
but was chained by his enemies to
rock in close proximity TO a quantity or
tempting food. which he could not reach.
The Braves several times have been
close TO victory, only to have 1t slip
away from them in the later innings.
Their ninth successive defeat yester-
day at the hands OF the Giants was no
exception to the rule. While their hit
