New-York tribune., 1919-08-24

The lone run of the Giants was acco
the cobwebs from his bat in the six
centre corner of the lot.
That was the only time the Giants
showed their teeth. The rest of the
afternoon was spent iii gnashing them
as the relentless score board heralded
the further advance of the ram
bunctious and rampaging Reds.
Plaster Jess Barnes
Our Jess Barnes, called the most
formidable offering the Giants have
IN the pitching line, did not enjoy the
afternoon at all. The Pirates plastered
him rather plentifully in spots and he
was finally removed to make way for
plncher. To show that baseball has
lost interest for the season, as far as
the Giants are concerned Jess Winters
was thrown in to finish the game.
Wilbur Cooper pitched we'll for the
visitors, the locals making only six
scattered hits.
Certainly all doubts as to the status
of the pcnnant race were removed yes

ism that might have existed as to the
ability of the Giants to catch Patrick
Aloysius Moran's Reds passed away
during the performance. OF course
the Giants will play some more base
ball, but not this season.
The sad fate of the Giants has set
1he sI patrons of the park to brooding
The management is still investigating
the means Of entrance through which
persons come to the Polo Grounds and
why several occupants of the press
box are present every day without be-
ing compelled to witness the games
The management wants to know how
they got that queer.
Pirates Score Early
s The Pirates started activities in the
second George Whitted opened the
proceedings by bouncing single over
second Barbara was safe when
fTlsch, the fordham Flash, fumbled an
easy one Cutshaw sacrificed.
While the Giant infeld was pulled in
under suspicion that Hugo Bezdek was
contemplating squeeze, Terry very
neatly bounced hit over Fletcher's
head and Whitted and Barbara scored.
Schmidt ended the raid by hitting into
double play.

The Pirates got another run in the

Benny Kauh assisted the Pirates to
another tnlly in the fourth. Benny
was trying TO stage some crude melo-
t1e that should have been an out. But
Benny, who has been getting the
-razz" of late from former friends and
admirers, tried to make it look hard.
He dropped back slowly and tried to
spear the ball with his bare hand, but
the ball rolled out and it went to the
archives for two-bagger- 1mmedi-
scored Terry with single TO right.
Benjamin looked peeved when he
came in
Frisch gave Barnes consider rable
help in the fourth and stopped another

made barehand leaping catch Of
sizzling liner b. Bigbee and a nimble
stop OF 4 drive by Carey

Briggs once remarked, taking the JOY

AnI Mr. McGraw isn't having whole
lot OF JOY to spare these days
The score board annoys lot of other
people who have been peering at and
intently watching for the Reds to

at the Polo Grounds were mourning

by Ross Young, who drove hit to the

where the fences are closer together
and the pitchers less deceptive. Our
pubic Is not as generous as it was
before the late lamented visit of the
Reds
Mr. McGraw viewed the proceedings
from secluded place. Mr. McGraw
has been seeing many games of late
through the periscopc. The reason for
this is believed to be that looking at
the Giants these days would perma-
nently impair Mr.. McGraw's vision.
They have been hurting his eyes for
some time.
Incidents Of a still more distressing
nature occurred in the eighth. Maxi
milan Carey started it with single
to right and went to second on South
worth's out. George Whtted hoisted
wo-bagger to right and Carey
scored. Barbara got a base on balls
and was forced by Cutshaw, Whitted
scoring on the play.
