SpscsoI Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
PITTSBURGH, June 3.-Somebody must
nave chloroformed this 'lively" ball for
the Pirates since the Giants have been
here. They have made one run and
eight hits in two days off the New York
pitchers. and this afternoon the Giants
beat them again. The score was to

churned UP to and past the Freebooters.
The Giants fell upon Earl Hamilton

was weakly done. and in the last seven
innings they didn't score. The Pirates
haven't had the punch and pep they had
IN New York last month. Maybe they
miss the tonic ozone of the Harlem val
ley, though the Giants are growing fat
without 1t.
Nobody took more satisfaction out of
the ninth inning rally of the Giants
than Lee King. The ex-Pirate smacked
a three Dagger down the right field line
which sent in two of the three runs and
clinched the game. He threw his cap
in the air when he reached third, sa-
laamed deliberately to the fans in the
stand and did some dance steps. The
fans had been riding him for alleged in
reference with Cutshaw earlier in the
fracas.
Hamilton sIumps in Nlnrn.
Hamilton pitched a fine game until
his ninth inning slump. The way the
Giants had been letting good balls go
by was scandalous waste of oppor-
tunity, and the way Hamilton had them
hitting at bad balls was hypnotIsm.
But the southpaw has been a tough
luck pitcher thus far this season. and
his visitation of III fortune to-day was
just around the corner. In the ninth
1t met him full in the face.
Hamilton and Toney had a pitchers
battle, for the most part with spruce.
and neat support. Carey's iridescent
work on fly balls was a big help to
Hamilton.
A muff by Bancroft complicated mat
ters for the Giants in the first inning,
but did not damage. In the second
Grimm singled through Bancroft.
Schmidt doubled and put Grimm on
third. and Hamilton scored him with
a fly to Young. Young's throw to the
plate was wide. The Pirates wern
through scoring. Their only hit in :he
last seven innings was a two bagger
by Maranville in the sixth. Maranville
put one over on Burns in stretching
this hit into a double. There was one
out at the time, and Toney famed Cut
shaw. passed Whitted purposely and
had the pleasure Of seeing Tierney foul
to Snyder, who ploughed to the Pitts
burgh dugout for the catch.
King Makes Giants First Hit.
Kings bunt In the fifth was the first
New York hit. King, indeed. was the
frst New York batter to visit first.
Toney started the Knickerbocker cracks
on the way to runs. He singled In the
sixth with one out He had the time of
his life reaching third on two bagger
by Burns. On Bancroft's fly to Whitted
he made a bluff to go in. Schmidt whiz-
sed the ball down to third to collar the
agile Toney before he could back pedal,
but the throw hit Toney, rolled to left.
and the much winded pitcher galloped
home. He soon recovered and, barring
being nicked by the Rabbit in the sixth.
was invincible in the last four innings.
One was out in the New York ninth
when Bancroft sent a sharp single skid
ding UP Tierney's shins Frisch lined
single to right and Bancroft took third.
Four balls TO Young. Kelly raped the
first one and sent Bigbee back to the
catch. King cut in with his gladsome
triple and Frisch and Young plugged
home.
The Giants have asked for waivers
on pitcher Pol Perritt. President Stone

day.
