Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD
nothing akin to pity in the makeup OF
the Giants this afternoon, no lack of
power, pepper. fight and unceasing de-
termination as they crashed their way
to within only half a game Of the
pacemaking Pirates. They let loose the
fioodgates of fury pent up in the
disappointing series with the Braves
and developed the most potent attack
which they have shown this season,
with eleven hits In the first game and
nineteen in the second. thirty for the
active afternoon. The New Yorks ham
mered out a double victory over the
PROSTATE Phillies. The scores, In
sequence, were to and 13 to 4.
1t was in support Of Arthur Nehf that
the Giants came through with their
encouraging opening triumph, and It
was for Phil Douglas that they rose to
empyrean heights of efficiency with the
bat in the closing contest. All after
noon they were alert on attack. alert
and fast on defence. and best of all
with never letup.
In order to score the Phillies had to
drive the ball not only out of reach but
out Of sight, for five OF their tallies
came through home runs. Both Cy
Williams and Ed Konetchy hit for the
circuit twice, once in each game. Earl
Smith of the Giants also knocked the
ball over the right field wall in the
second game.
Leading In the New York attack,
particularly In the second affair in
which he got three doubles and a
single. was Irish Meuscl. The former
Phillie. derided and taunted, played
with a vengeance. not only on the
offence but on the defence too 1t was
far and away his best all around per-
formance OF the season. yellow Dog"
and worse came to Meusels ears from
the stands. and, smiling, he crashed and
crashed until the vituperation was
silenced.
Deadly Attack by Giants.
1t is a question whether any pitchers
could have faced the raking. deadly fire
OF the Giants to-day. In the opening
game they knocked out Ring and mall
treated Belts. In the second exhibition
they drove Hubbell. their former team
mate. to the clubhouse and continued
their assault at the expense of Sedge-
wick. Now and then local errors
cropped up, and soon the air was filled
with derision for the Phillies. The home
fielders were run ragged. II the Giants
keep this form for the games with the
Dodgers on Friday and Saturday there
will be carnival at the Polo Grounds.
The high light in New York's defence
cleaned in the third inning Of the sec
ond game when Methusaleh Miller
tripled with one out, yet failed to cash
the promise of run. Lebourveau fol-
lowed Miller with topped ball to Doug
las. who held the leather for a while
as threat against Miller and then
made a peg to Kelly to get the hitter
Miller darted for home. but Kelly re-
sponded with a perfect throw to Smith,
to complete a double play, pretty, pre-
else and useful.
The climax of the fury with which
the Giants went at their determination
to pile up runs came in the fifth and six
hits. three passes and an error figured
in the onslaught. A dozen Giants came
up In that frame, Frisch getting a
double and a single Five runs were
crashed in on Hubbell. and then came
Sedgewick to force In the sixth tally.
AS the Philles fell back in utter rout
they found themselves deserted. The
fans began to howl for the Giants to lift
the ball over the fence
Frischs double inaugurated the as
sault. Hubbell's poor throw to get him
off second put frankie on third and
Youngs infield out scored the run.
Kelly walked and Meusers second
double sent him In. Then came singles
by Rawlings. Smith and Douglas to fill
the bases. and an infield out by Burns
to put in another tally. Bancroft
walked. and again the bases were full.
Sedgewick came In to pitch. whereupon
Frisch singled and run No. was home.
A pass to Young forced in the last
counter.
Earl Smith stops Fans HowIing.
1t was far from an auspicious start
the New Yorks made In that Sec
ond game. They had men on second
and third with one out In the opening
chukker, and then Young and Kelly
proved unequal to the occasion. Ban
croft and Frisch got singles in that
round, and frankie stole his fiftieth
base.
However. the disappointment over the
weak getaway was dispelled in the Sec
ond by Earl Smiths crash over the just
ly famous right field wall Meuse put
