In the first game Shuf1in Phil Doug
las hurt his pitching hand through
contact with a liner and the Giants
were forced to try variety of pitch
ers. The first six or seven were the
best. In the second game the Giants
were unable to hit Jack Scott with
anybody on and they were shut out
The evidence for the prosecution in
both games was: First game--Boston,
8; Giants, 2; second game-Boston, 8;
Giants, 0.
1t was quite evident yesterday that
the weather has not yet been warm
enough to cook the Giants veterans
and the Giant pitchers into their real
form. There were holes in the infield
and in the outfeld, and it was alto
gether a distressful afternoon, the like
of which is not likely to come to
Coogan's Bluff again this season.
While it is evident that the Giants
cannot be as bad as they looked yes
terday, neither can the Braves be as
good as they looked. But the mental
anguish suffered by the $4,000 was ex-
IRENE.
Cadets Hear Arguments
The first game was enlivened by
many an argument between the Giants
and Umpire Moran behind the plate
These arguments were interesting to

In the second inning Douglas hurt his

The fifth inning Melted an argument
and one run for the Giants. the Braves
losing the argument on a foul. Kauff
started with double along the first
base line, with positively the first hit
against Rudolph. With Kelly out on a
foul, Snyder slashed one to Boeckel,
who tried to tag Kautf out at third
and missed him. This started a gather

home. However, the run was not

Burns Fails in Pinch
1t looked as though the Giants might
crash through and tie the score in the
seventh, when Kelly and Snyder got
bases on balls. Mccarthy went in to
pinch hit, and was saved when Maran-
Vile fumbled. That filled the bases,
but George Burns struck out, and the
Giants scored only one run on Young's
out. The Braves put over one more in
the eighth. Sullivan got q base on

The second game was even more de-
pressing, for the Giants were blanked
despite the fact that Fletcher, Kelly
and Young came through with perfectly
good three aggers. The Braves were
there again with the punch in the first
inning, Powell bounced hit through
Kelly and went to second when Barnes
made wild throw o. sacrifice bunt by
Pick. Powell scored on Cruises drive
to center.
Errors and little wildness on the
part of Barnes gave the Braves two

a single and went to second on the
usual sacrifice by Pick. Mann was

solidity. Pick hit triple to right

plate trying to make Babe Ruth out
