New-York tribune., 1919-04-14


The game was one of exceptional
merit, weather conditions considered.
Tor though the sun shone, chill and
penetrating wind blew. Nor was the
pastime so one-sided as to become a
drag. The home folk had plenty Of
opportunity to vent its lung power in
the NTH inning, when Causey exploded
and when the Orioles scored four runs.
How many more they might have
scored but for a sensational play bv
Hal Chase there is no way OF telling.
With three runs already in and the
bases filed, and Rommell. just substi-
tuted for Causey, Honig flied to deep
right field. Young made futile throw
to cut Off the run at the plate. Chase
rushed half way to the box for a back
handed stab of Young's peg and threw
to Fletcher, doubling up Bishop when
the latter overslid second.
Causey's collapse, though uncx-
pected, served but to sharpen interest,
for in spite of it New York's superb
blty never was questioned and McGraw
was able to put in all of his substi-
tutes in the closing rounds. The
Giants made hurried jump to the
boat and Norfolk, Va, which will be
the base of operations the next four
days. New York plays the Washing
ton American League club, which IS
we'll supplied with classy pitching,
Johnson, Harper, Ayr, J, Shaw and
others, and which should thoroughly
test New York's heavy artillery in the
next seven days.
Rockies for Rochester
McGraw left here with Arthur r.
win pitchers Ryan, Clarey, Terhune
and Ross, and infielders Miller and
Gillespie, not to mention Lyons, Bro
gan, Pitt and O'Neill, who already be-
longed to Irwin's Rochester club, and
Rommel, the property OF Newark, who
lives here These eleven young athletes
will eat at Rochester's expense the
next week or ten days and help the
old scout in his exhibition games.
The Giants wormed through to a
start of one run. George Burns pumped
single to left as an opening wedge and
in prettily executed hit and run play
galloped to third base when Pep Young
connected safely to centre. Chase hit
sharply through the box. but Boley
made dandy stop and started a dou-
BILE play. Burns scored while this
double killing was being effected, KautP
flied far to left
Double plays rescued Cecil Algernon
Causey in both the first and second
sections. Fritzie Maisel greeted the
big Florida blond with the double to
left field. Fletcher held the runner at
third while he threw out Jacobson, but
BISHOP worked Causey for pass.
Causey helped himself out of the rut
when he raked in Konig's sharp drive
and started double play in the second
with one out. Clarke tripled to ex-
treme right field. Beal walked. but
Fletcher came up with Egans wicked
smash and with the assistance of Doyle
and Chase effected a double killing
that blocked the tieing run.
Fletcher Caught Stealing
The visitors were denied in their half
of the second, though Fletcher, who
was caught stealing, furried with
clean single after two were out Tho
heavy ordnance of the top of the bat
ting order put the Giants in compara-
tive safety after two were out in the
third. Burns tripled to right centre
and walked home on Young's triple to
the centre garden. Chase doubled off
the left wall, scoring Pep. Kauf ended
the rally with an easy roller to Bolcy.
Fritz Maisel ambled with one gone
in Baltimore's third, but was forced
when jacobson hit sharply to the box.
Causey then tightened and struck out
Bishop. A double error with one out
in the fourth gave New York its fourth
run. Zimmerman singled of d slow
ball with one out. Fletcher's sharp rap
play at second. Bishop was slow cover
ing, and MaisePs peg not only got
through him but right fielder KONG as
we'll. Zim Tailed and Fletcher reached
third on the misery. Fletcher ran
blind on Smiths low liner, off which
jacobson made fine shoestring catch,
and was doubled off second base.
Lewis, rangy right-hander, re-
lieved Parnham in the fifth and was
given a sound drubbing, the pounding
including a home run hit over the
right field wall for Larry Doyle-the
Giants first circuit smash of the ex-
hibition series. Five runs in all were
rung up in this stanza. Causey, no less,
started the ructions with a safe carom
Off Boley's glove. Burns walked and
Young beat bunt, filing the bases.
Chase's fly to left scored Causey and
advanced the other two runners. These
both tailed on Kauff's double to left.
Doyle here drove the ball to the right
field wall. Zim and Fletcher both flied
to Clarke
Mr.. Causey evidently forgot the rah-
BITS foot when he went our ~or the
fifth, for the game came near to tum-
bling down about his ears. It was
principally question of wildness on
the part Of Red, who had to be der
ricked after three runs were in. The
bases were still filed and none out.
Beal started with double and Carroll
walked. Elliott, for Lewis, doubled.

Kautf had hit into a. double play. kill
ing chases hit. Sticking was hit by
pitched ball. He got third on Zim-
merman's single and scored on an at
tempted double steal before Zirn was
run down. Maisel was hit by pitched
ball in the second half and scored on
Jacobsen's double TO right. Earl
Smiths double and Burns's infeld
single contributed a run to the Giant
cause in the eighth. From there on ic
was principally a matter of getting
away IN time to take the steamboat.
