Our well known Giants weren't SO
Gargantuan on their own playground
yesterday afternoon. Rather did they
look like the Tom Thumbs. They regis
tered abject helplessness In all It's tam
talking and detecting phases as only
they can register 1t when at their worst
against the poisonous Dodgers Now
they acted. like victims of the tzetze fly
and then like nibblers of the inedible
cactus. And when they wandered over
the lea to the clubhouse the Brooklyns
hzd tackled another defeat onto them
10y TO /.
Burleigh Grimes. pitching his right
handed way to his seventeenth victory,
was the tacker in chief, with Wheat his
first deputy. Grimes was a Scrooge with
his hits. He yielded only four scattered
singles, and three of these went to
frankie Frisch, whose hitting has been
the saving grace for the New Yorks in
the current malevolence with the Brook
lyns. The fourth hit was acquired by
Frank Snyder. With the Dodgers get
ting seven hits, two of them triples, of
Arthur Nehf in seven innings-Slim
Sallee finished the game with an i'm
maculate slate-the prima facie evidence
is that the Flatbush fusiliers were en-
titled to the decision.
But there were ever so many butts
and "ifs" and other eel like factors in
the downfall of the Giants. Grimes was
not the care free hurler which the four
hit performance would indicate. He was
in trouble oft and anon. and he was
wild. He filled the bases with passes in
the third round with only one out. but
New York fooled through without
score.
Locals Score on Wild Pitch.
Grimes gave three passes and a hit
in the sixth, and then New York scored
only because Grimes obliged with wild
pitch He saw Frisch reach second with
one OFT in the eighth, but that's all he
saw Opportunity knocked many times
for the Giants, but they needed her not,
and finally Opportunity became riled and
knocked the locals cold. Bancroft and
Frisch were the athletes who failed with
the fail In the third, Kelly and Rawlings
were the disappointers In the sixth and
Young and Kelly were the remiss bats
men in the eighth.
Meusel once more gave an exhibition
OF 900 batting, giving him an average or
nothing at all in thirteen times since he
came here with the Giants. But Emil
had a comparatively care free day. He
faced men on bases only once, in the
sixth, and then Grimes would not let
him hit the ball. AS a fielder Meusel
looked a lot like his brother Bob of the
Yanks. In the seventh. after Kilduff
had singled with two gone. Miller raised
a high fly to left
There was nothing particularly puz-
zling about that fly. 1t looked like a
thousand other flies which had been
caught out there in rAcent years. But
Irish played 1t for a triple-and golly
IL 1t did not turn out that way. with
Kilduff scoring. 1t did no particular
harm. as the Dodgers already had got
their odd run. but it made bad impress
sion among divers cash customers Some
Of them wanted to know who had said
something about buying that pennant.
Dodgers Open with Two.
Brooklyn got two runs in the first
inning and the Giants spent the rest OF
the afternoon trying to get them back.
Nehf started inauspiciously and passed
Olson. who stopped at second when
Johnston drilled a hit to right Neis
sacrificed and the situation was not
happy one for the left handed Arthur.
1t became less happy when Wheat
slugged a hit TO left and sent both run
ners over the pan. Zack was out trying
to make second and Myers flied to
Burns.
After that Nehf was the superior OF
Crimes. but Arthur seems TO have fallen
heir to the long discarded mantle left at
the clubhouse by Leon Ames. IL the
Giants made three runs for Leon 1t was
a grand and never to be forgotten holf-
day.
New York's run in the sixth came
amid the widest excitement 1t looked
as II the Giants were about to make
that long promised raid on the run lar
der To begin the inning Burns was
easy for Kilduff. Then Grimes suf-
fered a return OF his third inning trou-
bile. He passed Bancroft and then
Frisch singled 10 left Young walked
and the bases were full.
The first pitch to Kelly went over
Millers head and Bannie ran home. Only
one more to tie--but the mighty Kelly
took his three swings and passed out.
Meusel got his pass and again the
bases were full-with the fans fairly
shrieking for Rawlings to do something.
Then Rawlings silenced the shrieking.
He famed.
The ruckus in the third started with
a pass to Rawlings. Snyder walked.
TOO. and Nehf sacrificed them along.
Grimes was wabbling all over the box.
He passed Burns ana nlied the bases.
Grimes had pitched twelve bad ones IN
his last thirteen tries. Bancroft hit
at the first ball--a high one. lie fouled
10 Johnston. F'risch bit at a low one
and flied to Myers Thus went rally
that was no rally.
There was a bit Of fuss In the eighth.
with one gone Frisch dragged the ball.
Frank went rushing into first feet fore
most, Grimes went hurting into the
bag with the ball, and Schmandt came
crashing in to add to the hilarity. Friscn
was afe. All three got severe shalSins
m. n looked as II Grimes had been
hurt, but after short recess he went
back and pitched Young and Kelly into

second. The score:
