LOSE TWO; REDS

Repeat Yesterdays Double
Win in New York.

NEW YORK. Aug. 14.--Gone are
the hopes OF Protest John and his
contenders Of sticking the Reds back
into second place In the final series
at the Polo grounds this week, for
the Reds up and took enough to clinch
their lead while winning the first Of
the three double bills Wednesday at
ternoon.
Pat Moran's two able southpaws.
Ruether and Sallee, with some Of the
only support that a team can claim
the championship on, held the Giants
just tight enough enough to win two
contests. The Reds fifty-nine points
to the good, and all the winning the
Giants can do in the next four games
cannot drive them out Of first place.
1t was great day for the coming
champs, and they played the largests
crowd that has witnessed a champion
ship baseball game this season the
New York fans exceeding by a few
hundred the record breaking Sunday
crowd at Cincinnati.
Reds Are Tight
With the exception Of one inning.
when the machinery slipped long
enough to allow the Giants two tallies,
the Reds played alright ball through
the ent1re urSL game.
After the Giants had been given a
two run lead in the second inning,
. Pats crew stepped UP and swatted
He!nie Groh's home run with no one
on made just enough to clinch the con-
test.
Slim Sallee, who has twice before
been beaten by the Giants, came in
for his share Of revenge in the second
contest, and only once did he show
too much confidence, allowing Con
GALES to steal home for the only Giant
marker.
The Reds will try for another boost
to their standing in the second double
BILL to be played Thursday afternoon,
and Manager Moran will probably
start the first game with Ring on the
mound. johnnie showed the Giants
that he had their goat in the last
visit Of McGraw's men to Redlands,
and he has confidence in his ability to
repeat the performance for the bcne-
fit Of the New York fans
Hold Eller will probably start the
second contest. with Bressler, Fisher
and Luque in reserve. Hold failed to
stand up against the Phillies In the
last contest he played, but he too.
PROMISES TO come pack ana give Cnt
Giants little more to worry about
concerning championship hopes.
New York Losing Hope.
New York fans are already begin
ming to arrange for October to pass
New York without a world series con-
test. and many openly concede that
Cincinnati will win the pennant
McGraw's two pitching hopes, re-
Gently purchased to strengthen the
team, failed to deliver in Wednesday,
contest, and his hopes for the second
game are pinned on Benton, Barnes
and Toney.
The Reds have been able to do very
much as they please with Toney's de-
livery and Barnes, who has been win
ming very consistently, Is about to
run against the straight win jinx. Ben
ton has been effective against the
Reds, but whether he will be able to
stand another game against the lead
ers is doubtful.
