Ponderous Fred Toney just about de-
feated the league leading Pirates
single handed in the third game OF the
series at the Polo Grounds yesterday.
The big Highlander received some
brilliant support from his mates, but it
was his mastery pitching and his home
run with two men on the bases that
brought about the downfall Of his op
ponents.
1t was the third successive setback
for the Pittsburgh clan at the hands
Of the Giants. McGraw's team has
beaten George Gibson's club IN twelve
out of seventeen contests this season.
Yesterdays score was to 2, and it was
Toney's second homer OF the season
that provided the winning margin.
Toney's mound work was little short
OF classic. Except for few momen
tary lapses, his control and his msnipu
lation Of the ball we've perfect, and he
was at his best in the pinches. He al
lowed only eight hits. three Of which
came in the Fourth and two in the
ninth the innings in which the Pirates
scored their two runs.

Excluding the second inning, during
which the Giants went on q rampage
and scored all Of their five runs.
Johnny Morrison yielded only two hits
until he was taken out in favor Of a
pinch hitter in the seventh. Jimmy
Zinn, who finished the game for the
league leaders, was found for three
more safeties. bringing the Giants to-
tai for the afternoon 20 nine. Two Of
these we're made by Bancroft and two
by Earl Smith.
