SHEA DAZZLES IN BOX
BY DANIEL.

BY DANIEL.
A Kohinoor set In brass-tbat was
the game in which the Giants diInmed
the Reds and Rube Marquard by TO 8
on the sodden Polo Grounds yesterday
/ afternoon. 1t scintillated with kaleido-
scopic effects as the New Yorks. re-
covered from two wretched disappoint-
ments. flashed through the spectrum on
attack and defence-sparkled as George
Kelly's twentieth home run crashed into
the left field bleachers with the bases full
in the first inning-twinkled as Davy
Bancroft duplicated the feat with one
on in the next round,
And after Marquard and then Fred
Toney had been forced to retire the con-
test dazzled with pitching brilliancy.
Pat Shea OF the sorrel tlIatch. who went
the last five and a third innings for the
Giants, yielded neither hit. pass nor
run-faced only sixteen men and allowed
nary a Red to reach first base. 1t was
one, two, three for the Cincinnatis in
every inning as Shea spun over fast
one with a tricky hop, a slow ball that
really was slow ball-and all the while
with superb control.
Fritz Coumbe the left handler. hurled
the last six innings for the Reds and he
was quite effective. too. Coumbe gave
only two hits. but he also issued three
passes. sixth Giant got to first off
him on an error by Bohne. In all the
New Yorks got six hits and the Reds
collected only four.
Burns Returns as "A Hero.
Three of the New York hits-two
singles and double-were accounted for
by George Burns, who made a glorious
return after having been out for two
days nursing three stitches around his
left eye. Burns should have been at
home yesterday, but he no longer could
stand the strain OF inaction. He went
out and played all over the outfield and
lined hits all over it, too. and scored
two runs.
All this happened in a setting which
discouraged rather than reused. At the
start there were leaden, threatening
skies. and soon there came penetrat-
ing. incessant rain. In the stands a
mere four thousand huddled in enjoy
ment of the spectacle. And the Giants
played as If 10000 were back there
roaring their encouragement.
In the field they were led by Ban
croft, who flashed all afternoon and fg-
ured In two double plays which brought
the New York total of two play killings
to eighteen for the eight games played
since their return from the West. This
may be something of record. Bannie's >
great run into left centre for Grohs ny
in the fifth and his dash behind third 70

second inning was another bit Of bright
fielding.
Revenge on the Rube.
There was great satisfaction for the
Giants in lashing vengeance on Mar
uuard. Many an indignity had he
heaped on them In recent seasons, and
rarely. II ever before, had they been
able 10 drive him 70 cover so quickly
and with 50 terrific and effective an at
tack. Marquard was IN a tight place as
soon as he threw the first ball 70 Burns,
who singled 10 centre.
Bancroft grounded to Daubert, who
