unused John J. McGraw moodly at the
Polo Grounds yesterday. This time it !
was Cecil Agernon Causey who came
back and handled the Giants somewhat
roughly holding them to a 2 to l Sccse
hurting against Art Nehf, the expensive
southpaw.
1t came close to being n shut-out at
that. 1t might have been had not young
Ralph Miller, the Honus Wagnerian
do some quick thinking and tried am
bitiously for a double play. But the
fact that Miller tried to think is not
to be charged against his efficiency re-
ports. Far from it.
1t was the old story Of the lost
double-header. The Giants did not
have the mule kick that they had when
that they needed never came when they
were needed Once or twice it looked
as though the old Giant tank corps
might crash through, but the machine
stopped with considerable abruptness
There was some fast fielding on both
sides, but dearth of the wallops that
make the multitudes rear on theiH
hlnd legs. About 10000 saw the game
1t looked as though the Giants were
about to handle their former playmate,
Cecil Algernon Causey, very roughly
n the first inning, when they packed
the bags on him with robody out, but
only one lcno run resulted.
No Explosion Comes
Burns led the parade by beating out
a single. Young was safe when Ralph
Miller's long arms got wrapped around
his legs Fletcher laid down a slow
ount just be- yond the reach of Cecil
Algernon and beat it to first.
This made everything right for an ex-
plosion that would plaster the gummy
fragments OF the Phils against the
slopes of Coogan's Bluff. But the ex-
plosion did not come. Larry Doyle,
who came through with homer in the
pinch on the previous day, struck out.
Kauff laid dowrs a hit to Ralph. Miller
who touched third and then tried to
double Burns at the plate, but the at
tempted double cost run. Burns beat
The throw.
The Phils dashed into the lead in
their half OF the fourth. Bancroft start
cd 1t with single, but was forced by
Williams. Stengel bounced a Texas
Lacquer over Larry Doyle5s dome of
intellect and Williams went to third
when Meusel forced Stengel.

about as perfect piece of fielding as
has been perpetrated during the cur
rent season.
Some Fancy Fielding
There was plenty Of fancy fielding in !
Lawrence Doyle was the star per
former in these acts. Paulette cracked |
one in the second that looked like a
cinch. Larry shot over toward first.
speared the ball with one hand and !
tossed the ball to first Young i'm
pended the progress of j. Dots Miller in |
the same inning with a fine double !
catch. Casey Stengel in the Phil's !
half of the second robbed Long George /
against the right field wall, practically /
running his trousers but mailing the /
ball.
Paulette picked long foul by the
Longer George Kelly out of the right
field boxes in the Giants half of the /
seventh. The Giants game up with
their advance guard in the eighth, but
Cecil Algernon held them. With Burns
out Young got g single to center but
Fletcher batted right into a double
play, J. Dots Miller making q neat
stop to start it going.
Doyle led the last drive Of the Giants
in the ninth, but was thrown out by
the active j. Dots. Benjamin KaufF
cracked healthy single along the first
base line. Sticking jawed the umpire
and struck out on three pitched balls
Lcng George Kelly was few feet on
the foul side of homer to the right
stands and Cecil Algernon looked an
noyed. Then Long George hit to Ralph
Miller. who made a quick one-hand re
covery and threw to second, Forcing
Young.
The score:
