4 HITS OFF TONEY

O-Chase Obtains Another
Home Run.
ny FREDER1ox @. L1EB..

The Giants still are feeding regularly
on those appetizing Bravet. Nothing
like the dear. old Braves to pad out the
old percentage. Fred Toney, the bulky
TENNESSEE mountaineer. just leaned on
them on the Polo lawn yesterday and
squashed the Massachusetts, lads with
four hits. Toney won without getting
up much OF a sweat, the score being
to 0. It was Just "a romp for the
big fellow The victory stretched the
latest Giant victory chain TO seven
notches.

Braves but their name then Hen Ford

The Braves had q good time losing yes
terday. They acted like bunch OF
village cutups y nkus Pankus Gowdy,
Rabbit Maranvil L and Charley Herzog
had the time of their lives Even Dick
Rudolph didn't look as though he minded
his defeat much. Dick came here with
winning streak of four straight. And
winning four straight with the Braves
q equivalent to winning ten straight
N-fth real club.
=, The Braves went through with their
defeat as though being licked by New
York was part Of Polo Grounds ritual
which 1t would be useless to try to
sldestep. And losing to the Giants
surely has become Brave habit In
the last two seasons the. Giants have
Beaten them in twenty-three out OF
twenty-five games. Last year the
Giants beat them Is to / and this year
they have them 8 to 2, with the half
way mark reached yesterday.
The Braves couldn't touch Toney with
a shovel OF the four Brave hits one
was scratch. Toney, however. owes
his shutout to his bulk. With Herzog on
third base in the fourth with two out
Holke drove one at Toney like shot
from n cannon. Fred was SO big he
couldn't escape IT, 1t cracked the big bay
right on the shin and then bounded
away toward FIRST base. Toney ran after
II and ferried the ball to Chase just in
time TO get Walter. Then he rubbed the
shin. II would have taken a leg of
less vigorous specimen of the race.
Harold Chase let ny another homer
yesterday. giving him three in his last
four gaines Chase's four sacker came
as a just retribution to Rudolph. Just
q moment before Dick sneaked over
second strike on Hal. Chase trioa TO hit
the ball and fouled 1t off,. his bat flying
all the way to third base. Rudolph.
Gowdy and Maranville thought this was
grand little Joke on Hal and they twit-
tered merrily. Harold laughed with
them.
Hal took toe hold on the next pitch
and waited II into the left field bleach
ers. To show there was no i'll feeling
Hal good naturedly poked Gowdy In the
ribs as he completed his jaunt around
'the bases.
! "a 34thg Homer FOR Giants.

bust home run whackers in the league
Harold now has five and ranks third In
McGraw's home run class The Giants
nave no Babe Ruths. but they surely are
giving those fences a terrible basting.
Cha SEES homer yesterday was the thirty.
fourth the Giants have hit this year.
The Giants started their scoring In the
eecond. Kauff walked with one out ana
stole second. Zimmerman was credited
with hit on high bounder to Boeckel
which Norman cuffed into short left
'neld with his gloved hand. The ball
should have been fielded by Maranyilio
Kaun scored on the fiuke.
That was New Yorks first hit, and the
Giants didn't get another bingie Until
Chase poled out his homer with two out
IN the NTH. ~
The Giants got three runs in the sew
enth. aided by poor fielding After that
Rudolph didn't seem to care whether
school kept or not. Doyle opened with
liner to right centre and when the ball
was played poorly by Cruise. Larry got
double. Kauff hunted safely, his tap
Zimmerman hit to Boeckel and Doyle
was trapped between third and home
But Gowdy muffed a throw by Roeckel
and Doyle scored. Rudolph recovered
the ball, sitting on the grass He tried
to get the ball back to Gowdy before
Doyle could cross the plate. But Dick

down. BY the time Gowdy ran down

Maranville then fumbled on Burns, but
recovered 1t In time TO force the lum-
bering Toney at second. Dick Rudolph
then threw his cap into the wind and
made other ironical motions, expressing
joy and emotion.
In the eighth Fletcher and Baird hit
singles. gKauff sent a high fly to right
and II looked like an easy homer. But
Il came down too soon and Cruise caught
Il with his back to the wall. Maranville
then juggled Zimm's bounder and
Fletcher scored. On an attempted dou-
BILE steal Baird was out at the plate.
Baird and Gowdy got tangled up and
rolled around several times before they
uncoiled. That also was good for a
Gowdy laugh. Hank sure enjoyed the
