New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-05-18

MS roundup was pretty CouEhH
pill for the New York lads. Twice
they had the game practically cinched
to all intents and purposes, and twice
the Pirate broke through the ring of
steel. No excuse can be offered save
faulty pitching. Early in the fray his
teammates handed big Fred Toney four
runs advantage. He couldn't hold it.
In the fifth the Pirates landed on
Toney like d thousand of brick. clouted
him to all corners of the lot and tied
the count before Shufflin' Phil Douglas
could be rushed to the rescue.
That was pretty tough. But it was
just ordinary every day baseball life
compared to what happefed in the
fifteenth For nine innings after
Pittsburgh had tied the score with
fresh relay of pitchers, Carlson having
the embattled athletes of both sides
forgot their cricket and got down TO
real baseball. And then, after Carlson
had given way to a pinch hitter and
Ponder had gone in the box for the
home team in the fifteenth, the Giants
crowded over two more runs, aided b.
wild throws by the pitcher and Grimm.
Two Runs Not Enough
Those two runs right then looked
good as million. But with victory
within grasp Douglass weakened after
his gallant effort. Bigbee, first up,
bumped Phil for triple. The Shutfler
within grasp Douglas weakened after
passed Carey. Southworth hit to
Fletcher, who fumbled, Bigbee scoring,
but the New York captain threw in
time to force Carey at second Whit
ted's single sent Southworth to second
and knocked Douglas out of the box.
The rest happened more quickly than
it can be told Jesse Barnes went to
the mound and stopped Cutshaw.
Cation, however, followed with single
that drove home Southworth with the
tying run and left Whitfield on third
shat drove home Southworth with the
base, with two strikes on Grimm.
KLEIN missed a third one. On the next
pitch Grimm hit to deep right, Whitfield
scoring the winning run.
Cooper, who always has been quite
Ink for the Giants, got by for two IL
nings though Fletcher nicked him for
q double with two out in the first.
The Giants finally broke through for a
run in the third. Cation threw out
Snyder, but Toney surprised everybody,
Including himself, with a triple to the
left centerfield fence. Burns hit in
the run. Young sacrificed, but Fletcher
this time lined right at Southworth.
The Giant bombardment broke loose
again in the fifth, when the visitors
bumped Cooper for three more runs.
Kelly singled to right and on the hit
and run Snyder singled to center.
Toney popped to Cutshaw. but Burns
walked, filling the bases. Young
singled to center, scoring Kelly. Cut
shaw made a fine stop of Fletcher's
wicked grounder and tagged Young on
the line, but on the play Snyder scored
and Burns reached third. Doyle singled
to right, scoring Burns. Statz skied
to Bigbee.
Pirates Tie in Fifth
Then came the second half and the
first big headache. Whitfield tripled
to right 1t was the first hit off
Towey. Cutshaw walked. Doyle made
a splendid catch of Cations looping fly,
robbing that young gentleman of an
apparently safe Texas Lacquer. 1t was
beat out a hit to Lear, filing the bases.
Schmidt tripled to center, scoring
Whitfield, Cutshaw and Grimm. Hinct-
man batting for Cooper, singled and
Schmidt raced home with the tying run.
Douglas here replaced Toney. He held
Bigbee to a pop foul; Carey forced
Hinchman.
From then until the fifteenth it was
a real baseball game. Fletcher opened
this inning with single and went t.
second on Sicking's sacrifice. Kauff hit
q sharp bounder to Grimm, who made 3
bad throw to Ponder, who covered The
bag, Kauf reaching there in safety.
Fletcher, who had rounded third, set
ing the misplay, made dash for the
plate. Ponder threw over Schmit's
head kauf also raced all the way
from first to the plate on the wild
heave. The Pirate backstop sulked and
did not try to recover the ball.
Doyle was called out on strikes in
the seventh and protested so vigorously
on the third pitch that Umpire Bill
KLEIN ordered him to the clubhouse and
Sticking took the veterans place at
second place.
The score:
