Real Classics;

New York Barely Escapes
kalsomine After Shutting
Out the Pirates 10y 9 to O

PITTSBURGH, July S0-For the sec
ond time in two consecutive days the
best the pace making Giants got from
the Pirates was an even break in a
doubleheader. New York, behind the
sterling pitching Of Jess Barnes this
afternoon, romped off with the opening
engagement by a score of 9 to O. They
pounded Ponder and Mayer for four
teen safcties, netting eighteen bases.
In the second game Frank (Bullet)
Miller took a leaf out of Barnes's book
and made monkeys Of the Giants, while
his team mates hammered the offerings
of Pol Perritt, Red Causey and Joe
Oeschger, and Cantered home the cas-
lest sort of a winner by score of
to l.
Pittsburgh to date in this series has
prove a tougher obstacle than McGraw
had counted on, and by dividing the
four games played has so arranged
matters that the Giants find themselves
tonight with their backs up a gainst
the wall Pa Moran and his Reds, by
trimming the Braves, have crowded up
practically to tie for the lead
The doubleheaders have proved
heavy drain on McGraw's slender pitch
ing staff, but from now on the games
Will come singly and this should pre-
sent an opportunity to realign the Big
Four--Toney, Benton, Barnes and
Douglas-into 100 per cent efficiency.
Real Tonic for Giants
The performance Of Jess BARNES
proved the greatest possible tonic for
the overworked Giants. His exhibition
was a poem of action. He set down
the hard h ting Pirates with three
scattered hit and they never seriously
threatened to score. Southworth, who
scratched a single off Doyle's Sims
with two out in the first, was caught
stealing. From here to the fourth no
body got on. Then, with one down, Bar
bare scratched an infeld hit and
Southworth again singled, this time
Stengel's long fly to Kauff and that is
the nearest Pittsburgh came to a
marker.
Baird's low throw and another by
Chase put Safer on tnirc with none
out in the fifth. The accident only
brought out more forcibly Barnes's ef-
fectiveness. For after Terry walked
Lee and Cation both popped puny fouls
and Bigbee forced Terry. Fletcher
fumbled on Barbara beginning Pitts
burgh's seventh. After that Barnes
tion to the end of the game.
Meanwhile the Giants were busy
with their bats. Zimme rmans single
and Chase's double pried off the lid in
the second. Once Pittsburgh was on the
run the visitors showed them no
mercy. They continued to slug to the
end, while as the slugging grew hot
ter the defence of the home guard
broke down accordingly. Mayer re-
placed Ponder on the sixth, but he
Jared no better than his predecessor.
Settle Game at Start
In the second game Pittsburgh
handed the bouquet right back to the
visitors. The argument was settled in
the very first inning. Bigbee walked
and Barbara belted him home with 8
double off Perritt. Southworth singled
sending Barbara to third, then stole
second Cutshaw's single scored two
more. Safer flied to Kauff But wher
Perritt hit Terry with pitched ball he
was removed in favor of Causey. Rec
tossed out Lee, but the game had al
ready been lost.
Zimmerman and Chase saved New
York the ignominy Of shutout by
punching doubles with two out in tht
second for the only run of the Giants
The Pirates disputed Umpire Quigley':
verdict on Zimmerman's hit, claiming
the drive down the left line was foul
When Quigley stood by his guns thu
lrate Pittsburgh fans showered hin
with pop bottles.
