PITTSBURGH, July 27-PropeIled hy
the fine pitching Of Art Nehl, the
Giants advanced another full game
toward first place to-day by taking the
third game Of their geries with the
Pirates by score Of a to /. The
Terre Hnute Demon, opposed on the
mound by the equally left-handed but
not equally effective Wilbur Cooper.
breezed through, limiting the Pirates
to seven scattered blows and bobbing
up with enough stuff on the ball to
turn the Pirates back whenever they
threatened to get started. except in
the seventh inning, when Pittsburgh
got its only run of the game.
While Nehf was holding the Pirates
off, the Giants were punching their
hits off Cooper. They made. in all,
nine bingles off the slants Of the
slender Pirate ace.
In to-day's game, which marked, by
the way, Nehf's fourth consecutive vic
tory over the Pirates this season, the
Giants were managed by Hughie Jen-
nings, John McGraw having drawn an
John A. Heydler Of the National
League for alleged abuse Of Umpire
Bill KLEIN at the close Of yesterday
game. Johnny Rawlings, charged with
like offensc, was fined $50. Both
manager and player denied there was
any basis for the. charge, but KLEIN
won't weaken on the stand he has
taken in the matter.
Meusei Makes Debut
The game also marked the first ap-
pearance of Irish Meusef The form r
Philly was assigned to left field George
Burns being moved over to center and
Bill Cunningham benched to make room
for him. He batted sixth, replacing
Cunningham in the batting order.
A tumble by Cutshaw gave the Giants
lead toward two runs in the first inn
ing. George booted Burns's grounder
and the Giants were off. They were
checked momentarily when Bancroft
against the left field fence for three
within foot or two of being a home
run, for it narrowly missed going over
the fence. Young followed with a
triple to left center and Frisch ambled
over the platter. Kelly couldn't bring
Young in, for he raised a pop fly to
Grimm, and Meusel celebrated his first
at bat as a Giant by striking out.
In the fourth, fifth and sixth innings
| the Giants made as if to do some more
scoring, but couldn't quite make the
grade, Cooper shutting down on them
in those innings just when he seemed
| TO be wabbling dangerously. In the
seventh, for instance, Cooper walked
Nehf and Burns in succession, but two
were out when he issued the passes
and he brought the inning to a close
| by getting rid of Bancroft
Double Steal Works
The eighth inning saw the scoring Of
another Giant run. Young punched {
single to center after Frisch had beer
retired. Kelly hit ball hard to right
field, but Whitfield got in front of the
drive and nailed it. Meusel then singlee
to center and Young romped to third
! With Rawlings at bat, a double stea
was put on and went over, Young slid
ing over the plate in advance of Maran-
ville's return of Schmidt's short throw
The fourth and last Giant run, made
in the ninth inning, was largely in tbs
: nature of a present. Snyder was frs
up and singled to right and Nehf pu
him on second with sacrifice. Burns
was retired by Schmidt, who made
