PITTSBURGH, July 29-The Giants
began what is considered their most
"croocial" Western trip Of the season,
with an even break in a double header
against the Pirates here this afternoon.
The New Workers got away to a good
start by capturing the first game, 3
to 0, but the locals nosed out victory
in the closing affair, 7 to 6. However,
inasmuch as the Reds also broke even
with the Boston Braves, the New York
ers continue to hold their own
The old reliable, Fred Toney, who is
earning full salary by proving the
best twirler of the McGraw clan, was
again in excellent form in the first
only three puny hits. The veteran Babe
Adams, kept the hits made off his de-
livery fairly we'll scattered, but was
up against a hopeless cause, as his
.cam mates never could get a run Off
big Toney.
Wilbur Cooper, the capable left
handed finger Of the Pirates, who has
the distinction Of having scored the
only shut-out against the heavy hit
ting Giants this season, opposed Rube
Benton in the second. He was rough
ly handled, but again got the verdict
Cooper is one of the few that the
Giants find really tough to beat
The league leaders got busy immedi-
atciy on the opening of hostilities in
the first battle and showed over two
runs, which gave Toncy comfortable
lead to work on and of which he made
the very most. In this period, George
Burns singled. Young flied to Stengle
But Fletcher doubled to centre and
Doyle brought both runners over with
a one base smash to right The
Giants other run was made in the
seventh. Zm bunted safely. He and
Chase executed a perfect hit and run
Chase making second on Southworth's s
useless throw to third to get Zim. Nc
Carty grounded to Adams and Zim
was run down on the base lines. Toney
grounded to Terry but Chase beat the
throw to the plate.
The closing struggle was nip and
tuck throughout. Benton got by nicely
until the eighth, when the Buccaneers
got to him. and he was forced to give
way to Jean Dubuc, who retired as
the ninth was in progress in favor of
Douglas. This move, however, failed
to check the brilliant rally which
Pittsburgh staged in the last period
in order to win out
The Giants had two-run lead as
Pittsburgh went to bat in the ninth
This quickly dwindlcd once the locals
found the range and began shooting
in rapid succession. Lee was safe on
Doyle's error as a starter of this final
frame. Cooper singled, and Bgbee
did likewise, filling the bases Bar
bare was passed, Lee being forced
nome with run. Here Douglas re-
placed DubUc. Southworth lifted to
Bupns, and the fly Tailed Cooper with
The tieing run. Casey Stengel singled
into left field, scoring Bigbee with the
winning run.
The Giants got four in the sixth,
which, with the one they had earlier,
gave them an apparently safe lead.
Doyle's single, triples by Kauff and
Zim and Snyder's double, with walk
by Chase sandwichcd in, accounted for
the quartet of tallies.
After getting a marker in the sew
enth Pittsburgh added two more in
the eighth inning which aided materi-
ally in the victory. Barbara flied to
Burns and Zim threw out Southworth
Stcngel walked and Cutshaw tripled,
scoring him. Safer singled, scoring
Cutshaw. Dubuc then went in to pitch
for New York and Terry ended the
rally by grounding to Doyle.
The score:
