four, and severely conscious that the
one game had given the Reds pcnnant
prospects an awful jolt. The Phils open
here today.
1t was by long odds the worst game
seen for years in Cincinnati-a hideous
exhibition of fumbles, wild pegs and
bone plays by the champions, while
the astonished and apprcciatiye visitors
gladly accepted the soft things thrust
upon them. . incidentally, Hubbell
pitched a mighty fine game. the best
he has staged since he joined the club.
and showed lot of class while he was
shutting out the champions,
Cravath's cuckoos got two at the
start-two runs that were literally
forced upon them. With one extinct,
LcbOurvcau hunted safe. Rawlings
smOte u smacking single. Trying to
get Lebourveau off second, Ring let fly
a peg that broke finger on Kopf's
right hand, and also gave both runners
another base.
Kopf is out of it for three weeks or
more, just at the most crucial period of
the season.
When Williams gave Daubert an easy
bounce, Heine Groh came to the top
with the clown play of the season. He
did exactly what brought II. thinner
man immortal obloquy in the 1917
series-attempted to catch Lebourveau
in n stern chase and lost by five feet.
Rawlings oozed around to third during
this wild merriment and scored on
Meusels fly to Neale.
The crowd hooted lots more in the
third. and with good reason. Paulette
Strolled. A wretched throw by Wingo
gave him second and then Daubert mis-
handled Lebourveau's bunt so horribly
that Paulettc scored and Lebourveau
scooted to second. Rawlings's grounder
and Williams's long fly admitted Le-
bourveau.
After this explosion of idiocy. the
Reds held their own for time. Hub
bell, meanwhile. was pitching some
pretty fancy ball. He had the Reds
as helpless as n green caterpillar in a
gardner's shears and the crowd kept up
steady fire of catcalls.
In the sixth, Fletcher got on through
force play, and wandered to second on
balk. Ralph Miller died easily
Withrow banged one of his few hits-a
triple down right ticld-and Fletcher
naturally, adjourned to the plate.
In the eighth, there was more horse
play. Mcusel singled, passed ball
carried him to third, and Daubert' s
hilarious boot of Fletcher's roller let
Irish in.
That was all, thank you, except a
soft run made by Hubbell against Sallce
in the ninth.
