all the taunts and jeers hurled at them
by Brooklyn fans-for all these and |
the much coveted lead in the nerve |
racking race in the National League |
the Giants sent the cup or vengeance
and fury brlmming with twenty-one |
hits at Ebbets Field yesterday after |
noon. Never before, in recent years, |
had the New Yorks overwhelmed their |
transporting rivals as thoroughly and
pitilessly as they saturated them in |
defeat this time, with the score IL
to 3.
For the Giants II was a truly Bac-
chanalian feast, for with their third
straight triumph over chestfallen and
outclassed BroolSlyns came at last the
place atop OF the Pirates. AS the
Pittsburghs were beaten in Cincinnati, |
the New Yorks now enjoy lead Of q
full game-enjoy the glory and salts
faction OF being the pacemakers for
the second time this season.
Back on June 6 the Giants We're in
front for one short day, for on the fol-
lowing afternoon the Pirates saved
one game out Of four TO regain the
leadership. On their July trip to
Pittsburgh the New Yorks once mora
won three out Of four, but got no bet
ter than tie with the Pirates from
which they fell as soon as they struck
the malign atmosphere of Cincinnati.
On Their Way West.
This morning the Giants, leading
again and leading to stay that way, they
promise are speeding toward Cincinnati,
where they begin their fnsi invasion OF
the West tomorrow. The club Is deter
mined. the club Is fighting, and it's bound
to win. Any time the Giants can take
three in a row from the Dodgers they
are going as no other club in the league
can go.
Yesterday the Giants began their great
attack with the opening Of the game and
would have scored even more runs ano
got more hits II they had not let up in
the eighth in order to speed the decision
20 that they could catch their train for
the West. Their tweuty-one hits may
be seasons record for tho league

New Yorks. Last week they amassed
nineteen safeties against the Phillies and
hit the top OF their batting efficiency this
year But yesterday there was double
yea, a triple incentive for fury with
the claymore.
And as the Giants came rushing with
more and more hits--as they cracked out
seven drives for six runs, while eleven
men came 10 bat in glorious sixth
inning-inany of those who had come to
jeer stayed to cheer. Taking it by and
large. IL was a rather satisfactory
afternoon for the McGraw outfit.
-Four Brooklyn pitchers-three OF them
left banders--felt the sting Of the New
York assault. New York was not with
out change In the box, too. Phil Doug
las started and after staggering through
the first two innings filled the bases In
the third after the Dodgers had got a
run.
T0ney Pitches Great Bail.
Then came Fred Toney. A hit by Hal
Janvrin sent in two more tallies. but
there Man Who Walks Like a Bear put |
Il period to the Dodger attack. In seven |
innings Toney allowed only three scat
tered hits. The Brooklyn sluggers bayed |
and barked at his curve and his baniing |
slow ball, but nary a Dodger got past !
second on the Behemoth, and only two or |
the home clan reached the midway.
Clarence Mitchell. the only left handed |
spitballer in captivity, opened in the box |
for the Dodgers. and opened right mer-
iiiy for the Giants. Two runs in the |
first, two more In the second, fifth tally |
In the third--these spelled defeat for the
Brooklyns and drove Mitchell to the |
clubhouse.
The fourth found John Mijus hurting |
against the New Yorks. For brace of |
chukkers the right handler gave hits. but |
no runs. But In the sixth he was sent |
into retreat after four hits and a pass /
had brought three runs. Sherrod Smith !
was pounded for three moro hits and |
three more tallies in that round. In the
last three innings Ferdie Schupp held /
the hurrying Giants scoreless--and with |
the New Yorks running into outs Il was |
hardly feat.
That wild sixth was started with a
pass 70 Frisch on four straight balls.
At that stage. with the score to Q, /
II stili was game and Brooklyn fans /
still thought they had a chance. Then /
Young cracked a hit to right and be-
gan the hectic process OF eliminating /
tie competitive tinge from the meeting. /
Kelly hit a terrific foul over the fence
fl lett and then famed. MeuseI banged
q hit 10 right and scored F'risch.
Rawlings Crosses Them Up.
The Brooklyn inneld was sucked in /
for an expected squeeze, and Rawlings
made squeezing motion only to cross |
the opposition with a single into short /
centre, which drove In Young and made /
Myers look sheepish. When Snyder |
slammed a hit into centre and sent \
Meusel over the pan Milius left tho 4
scene In favor Of Smith
Smith was Just as easy as his pred i
ecessor, and proved IL right off the 1
bat Toney poed a hit to centre and |
scored Rawlings. Burns sent a soft one \
to Smith, who got the ball near the /
third base foul line, did a Highland |
hing and then fell to the soggy turf. |
While he lay there Cozy Dolan counted |
linn out Bancroft cracked a hit off |
Schmandts glove and drove In Snyder. /
Frisch, up for the second time in the !
inning. faced Giant on every base and |
sent long ny to Wheat, on which Toney |
Hmbled home. Six runs were in and /
here and there the fans were giving /
the Dodgers what Is known as the gentle /
razzberry. When Smith tossed out |
Young the razzberry rose to its full |
bloom. Brooklyn had witnessed
strange sight--six runs for a New York
club In one inning.
the two runs scored by the New
Yorks In the first came on hits by Ban
croft and Meusel, and II was Bannie
whose single to left started the big day
for the leaders. Frisch walked and
Young forced him. Olsons boot on Kelly
