HOners Give
Giants Victory
Over Reds, o.
Nehf Outpitches Ring and
Champions Lose at Polo
Grounds for Second Time
By Charles A. Taylor

There are other folks who can knock
home runs besides Babe Ruth, Bob
Meusel and Ping Bodie. This startling
announcement is due to the happen
ings yesterday at the Polo Grounds,
where the Giants, for the second day
in succession, took the measure of the
world champion Reds, their victory
being largely the result of four-base
blows from the bats of BENZ j21nin Kauff
and Ross Young.
Benjamin's smash went into the
lower right field stand. Ross had to
hustle to beat out his drive, (which
finished its career at the exit gate in
Arthur Nehf, the unfortunate south
paw, according to the returns of the
season to date, and Jimmy Ring, of
Flatbush, were the opposing twirlers.
Nehf gave every indication that he was
rapidly getting into his proper stride.
Ring appeared somewhat indifferent,
perhaps because he had learned that
the dauntess leader of the champs"
had contracted slight touch of sci
atica after watching his teams feeble
efforts of the preceding day.
Pat Moran was obliged to remain In
his hotel and Heinie Groh, who as
Suiheu I at HdHIle, ~ds So cruel tHae
he allowed poor Jimmy Ring to stay
right on the mound and take all the
knocks coming his way. And there
was an all-suficiency of knocks.
Revolutionists in Game
Much to the surprise of the assem-
bled populace, Eddie Roush, the demon
slugger, and Ivy Wingo, the leaders in
Tuesdays revolt against Umpire Nc
ofoI oha
Henry Fabian's greensward, neither
knowing what dire penalty for their
antics might be in store.
AS for tae game, the Giants got
busy in the opening inning. Burns led
off with a single to left and advanced
to second while Kopf was throwing out
Bancroft. Ross Young then committed
Babe Ruth" the ball vending its
way on a line between center and right
for homer.
In the fourth the Giants broke loose
again, Kauff greeting Mr.. Rings first
pitch with triple to center. Hardly
had Benny taken a breath at third be-
fore the Flatbush idol uncorked wild
pitch, which permitted KauP to COM
plete his homeward journey.
In the following frame the McGraw
men clinched the matter by tallying
two more runs. Bancroft beat out a
hit to Rath and went to second on
Young's tap in front of the plate. Larry
Doyle grounded out to old Jake Dau-
bert and then along came Benny Kauff
| with a clout that sent the ball into
the lower tier of the right field grand
stand. The Giants picked up another
run in the SIXTH as a result of Kelly S
triple to left, and Nehf's single in
the same general direction.
Reds Tally In Seventh
The Reds rallied most strongly in
! the seventh and there were many
timorous murmurings throughout the
stands as the champions piled up four
runs. Pat Duncan opened the fray
with single, Kopf beat out grounder
to Bancroft, and Neale drove safely to
left, filling every hassock.
Whoa Bill Rariden was the man of
the hour. He poled out a hot liner
to left, which sped throu: h Young and
cleared the bags. On Rings hit to
short, Rariden crossed the plate. 1t
looked more than dubious, but after
Rath had reached first on an error by
Doyle, Daubert flied to Kauff and Groh
expired, second to first.
