PITTSBURGH. Sept. 1.-THE beating
of the Pirates by Art Nehf is as much
a fixed part Of the schedule OF things
as the tides-both go on indefinitely.
To-day the Giants. with Nehf pitching,
and pitching conspicuously well. beat
the Pirates once more. The score was
6 to /, and the Giants didn't find their
batting selves until the last three
innings. When they did get the range
they made a strong and swift finish.
Carlson had them puzzled greatly for
six innings, but they bided their time
and never lost confidence. They cleaned
up their tenth consecutive victory and
their tenth straight from the Pitts
burghers The New York lead has in
creased to four and half games and
the probabilities OF the Giants los
Ing the lead decreased to minute pro-
portions. The Polo men played game
of even strength this afternoon and
are moving like champions.
The Giants went into the game feel
ing that they could make 1t ten straight
from the Pirates, and roofing for the
Yankees to win and regain the lead no.
body was more disappointed than they
last evening to learn that the Yanks
lost. They want to meet their fellow
New Yorkers In the world series. and
being from New York they know the
,etty and bucolic sentiment there Is to-
ward the metropolis outside of that city.
rhey believe the Yanks will come back
and upset the hopes of stickville circuit
The ropes were out to accommodate the
overflow The fans and the Pirates felt
that II they could win the next two from
the Giants they would have chance.
So they bent their energies In that d.
rection. The Giants made a modest
start and went no further than Frisch
In the first inning.
Pirate. Begin Well.
The Pirates began more assertively
and as II to repay. for. many ypast In
dignities. Rawlings was slow on Big
bees roller and Bigbee beat his throw.
Carey bounced single over Frisch.
Maranvillc hit Justify but Burns snatched
his liner Then George went back to the
ropes for Whitted's threatening slam.
Nehf, a fourth infielder. made q WOOL

and threw him out. So the Pirates two
hits were as non-productive as the
Giants none
Grimm did an acrobatc stunt In the
second. He climbed up the ironwork.

was snowy work, but the headwork
shown by Burns In playing for batters
was more substantial baseball.
Carson Carlson was gcing great guns.
And no Giants opened on base hit In
tho first three innings. Burns clipped
him for a double to start the fourth. but
George never scored. Bancroft's sacri-
fce advanced him. Frisch's effort was
sopped up by Cutshaw and Burns was
surrounded and run down, Frisch easing
himself to second on the play. Young's
ny to Carey held Frisch prisoner
whitted knocked home run over tho
left field wall in the Pirates half. The
ball bounced Off the top. Not one OF
the next three batters hit hard enough
TO pass the infield.
Two hits by the Giants In the nth
were as husk to a hungry man. Meuscl
singled with one out. Smith singled
with two out Carlson curled q third
swing at the ball. but growled at the
decision.
Umpire on Form.
The Pirates made two hits in their
nth which were resounding. II not nour-
ishing. Carlson and Bigbee made them,
but they were intertwined with outs
Mccormick missed two strikes which
Nehf put over for Maranville, then put
Smith out Of the game for kicking on
the decisions. Both were strikes--one
beautiful strickland the umpire was
clearly wrong. The fact Is he was UNI
piring poor game.
IT was the seventh inning before the
Giants discovered how the plate felt.
They tied the score on Young's three
bsgger ans' Meusels fly to Whitted. The
Giants had big chance In the eight
which Snyder opened with single.
Nehf sacrificed. Burns waited for four
balls, and Bancroft put himself in q hole
by inadvertently fouling on the ball He
had but one chance to hit and flied to
Bigbee.
But frankie Frisch knew what to do.
he knew q thing or two. He whipped
his bat into the leather and Il blazed on
air line trail to right for three base
lengths, and on which Snyder and Burns
raced over tho plato with glad abandon.
Having go the hang OF It, the Giants
fered forth in the ninth and grabbed
some more wampum. Kelly doubled and
Meusel batted him In. Out came Carl
