inxes of the New Yorks. The Giants
punished Eppa even more severely than
hey had manhandled the Rube on We'd
iesday and in two inings drove in seven
'uns. They added another at the ex-
,ense of Pete Donahue and defeated the
Reds by 5 to 2. AS the Pirates got only
in even break with the Phillies the
Giants gained half game.
The attack on Rixey in the second
found, which netted six hits and four
.uns-five of the safe blows came In
yuccession-was one of the sharpest and
most effective wallopings dealt out to
yisiting hurler at the local park this
,eason. AS Jess Barnes, who eventually
went the route for the Giants, looked none

llixey in the box just little longer than
ie might have kept him under ordinary
conditions.
But came a time when Rixey looked
20 bad that he had to be chased. And
et us say that Eppa relished 1t not. AS
Ihe recall came from Pat the southpaw
ossed the ball high into the air. appar-

thought that he still had a chance.
Donahue Hits Homer.
Donahue made quite a hit with the
ocal fans, for he proved not only tirst
lass pitcher but an effective hitter, TOO.

favor of a pinch htter-Bressler-in the
ninth. That's according to Hoyle.
Our chameleonlilke Giants made
.reat coueback after their rather In
,ipid exhibition of the day before They
nit with power and persistence ana
,cted up in the field. Burns. Bancroft
md Meusel were the star performers on
defence. Burns robbed Roush of triple
oy making a great catch near the
,eacher fence in right centre in the
irst inning and came through with an
other remarka BILE catch on Groh IN the
third. Meusers shoestring catch off
Daubert in the opening round was
rrish's entry in the stellar stakes.
Bancroft dashed all over the inner
works all afternoon and topped his ex-
ribition with leaping catch of Roushs
terrific liner in the third. The home
boys were very much on their toes. As
for the Reds, they were about as lively
MS a superannuated Percheron.
The Reds opened on Barnes with
grsto Singles by Neale and Bohne, a
ground sacrifice by Groh and that great
air sacrifice by Roush to Burns gave
them run. But the New Yorks came
right back with vim and got three.
Burns walked and Bancroft doubled to
left Frisch cracked a single to short
and scored Burns.
Young grounded to Kopf. and for
while the Red stood in indecision as
Bancroft held third. But as soon as
Kopf hurled the ball to first Bannie
raced home. Kelly raped sharply to
Kopf. who decided to make his play at
the plate. The throw went high and
Frisch glided under 1t with grace and
safety.
Wingo Gets the Gate.
But wingo. who apparently had an en-
gagement for dinner, yowled that he had
got Frisch. He yowled just a little too
long-or perhaps just long enough-for
he finally was awarded a trip to the
clubhouse. This move put gags on the

Cincinnati got a second run in the
next frame and came up to within one
OF the Giants. Duncan singled to Frisch
and went to third on Hargrave's hit to
centre. Kopf was walked on purpose
to fill the bases. for McGraw counted
on Rixey's hitting irSo a double play.
This Eppa did-and in the meantime
Duncan scored.
Then came the great second inning
attack on Rixey Snyder singled to left
and Barnes got hit by grace Of
Rixeys siowness. Burns hit to right
and filled the bases Bancroft singled
to centre and scored Snyder and Barnes.
Burns tried to make third and was
thrown out. Frisch drove a hit to
left and Young sacrificed
Kelly failed to hit home run but he
did almost as well He delivered a
single to left which sent In Bancroft
and Frisch and drove Rixey out OF
the game. Donahue threw out Meusel
