New-York tribune., 1920-08-31

Elmer Ponder. who pitched the sec
ond game for the home crew, gave a
sterling exhibition. He was found for
only three hits. two of which gave the
New Workers their lone tally in the
fourth inning. With the exception of
the one inning, only one of the visitors
reached second base. Big Fred Toney,
who opposed Ponder, did not possess
his usual effecyiveness, and he was
pounded for nire hits, including two
doubles.
Douglas Hit Hard Also
Shufflin' Phil Douglas, who started
on the mound for the Giants in the
first game, was plastered with consid-
cradle frequency, and he was taken out
in favor of pinch hitter in the sixth.
Pol Perritt then made his first appear
ance in the box since joining the club
last week, and did not yield hit dur
ing the next two innings. He also was
removed to allow King to bat for him,
and Jess Winters pitched the final
inning. Perritt also finished the sec
ond game after Toney kf / been der
ricked.
Hal Carlson, who performed for the
Pirates in the opener, was also hit
rather freely, but the New Workers
were unable to connect with his offer
ngs in the pinches. He was found for
a total of twelve safeties, but after the
first inning he held the visitors score
less. Ross Young led the attack with
five singles in as many trips to the
plate.
Inaccurate throwing to the bases by
Earl Smith helped the Buccaneers to
great extent, and this was directly re-
sponsible for two of their runs.
The Giants started with rush in the
first game and showed two runs across
in the very first inning. After Burns
had grounded out to Carey, Bancroft
slammed a double along the left field
foul line, and Young beat out hit to
Barbara. Frisch bounded one down to
Grimm, but the latter made a wild peg
to second base, allowing Bancroft to
score. Kelly splashed in front of the
plate, and Young beat Carlsons toss to
Schmidt. Frisch and Kelly advanced on
a wild pitch, and Doyle walked, filling
the bases, but Earl Smith flied out to
Bigbee
A marvellous catch by Bancroft pre-
vented the Pirates from tying the score
IN their half of the first after they had
showed one run across. With one out
Carey shot two-bagger to center. and
Southworth scored him with a single to
the same place. Bancroft's throw on
Cutshaw's single to short pulled Kelly
off the bag, but Long George made
great throw to Frisch and nailed South
worth, who was sprinting to third. Cut
straw stole second a moment later. Ban
croft put an end TO the uprising by
making wonderful diving back-hand
catch of Whtted's sharp line drive.
Pirates Tie the Score
The Buccaneers came back in the
second inning and evened the count
Schmidt, the first batter, poked one
through Bancroft and Barbara sent
him to second on a bunt to Kelly
Grimm flied to Spencer, but Carlson
drove single to center Young heaved
the ball into the Giants dugout in at
tempting to cut down Schmidt at the
plate.
Southworth's great running catch of
Doyls's long drive saved Carlson in the
third after Young and Frlsch had sin
gled in succession. The home. 4}ayers
then scored another In their naff and
thereby took the lead on Cutshaw's
single to center and Whitteds outfield
fly, which went for three -bagger
when Spencer played the ball very
poorly.
The Pirates also added another in
the fifth on Carey's single to center, a
base on balls, an outheld fly and q
double steal, on which Smith made a
high throw to Bancroft.
The Giants had a great chance to
score in the fifth, sixth and seventh, as
they made two hits in each of these
innings, but on each occasion Carlson
tghtened up and turned them back.
After going hitless for three innings
in the second game. the Giants broke
through in the fourth and took the lead
by chasing one man across. After
Burns had flied out to Carey Bancroft
