PHILADELPHIA, April 14.--Aided by
some fine pitching by Artie Nchf, the
Giants handed the Phillies sound
trouncing in the second game of the
series here this afternoon. The final
score was 10 to 2. The work of Nehf
New York twirlers in the opening game
yesterday. He yielded only three wide
| ly scattered hits up to the eighth
inning, when he eased up and allowed
from shut-out.
While Nehf was holding the Phillies
| in check the Giants slammed out four.
teen hits. These included two doubles
and a single by young Curtis Walker
who is patrolling right field during the
absence of Ross Young.
The bespectacled Lee Meadows, Wild
Bill Donovan's pitching ace, started on
the mound for the home club, but lasted
less than an inning. George Smith.
formerly of Columbia University, was
rushed to the rescue, but he Jared little
better. The newcomer was bumped
more or less frequently until the
eighth, when he was taken out for
Lefty Weinert.
Giants Strong in Fielding
The New Workers played very
! snappy fielding game. The only error
for the Giants was made by Goldie
Rapp on grounder by Parkinson in
the fifth inning, but the miscue was
offset by fast double play moment
later. 1t was a busy afternoon for Nc
Graw's outfielders, particularly for
Eddie Brown, who made five put-outs in
center field
The Giants started to maltreat
Meadows at the outset, and before the
first inning ended they showed six runs
across. Burns, the first batter, walked
and sprinted to third on Bancroft s
single to center. Frisch followed with
another single to the same field, scor-
ing Burns and putting Bancroft on
second. Walker sent both runners home
by dumping a two-bagger near the
right field foul line. He took third on
the throw to the plate, and completed
the trip on Kelly's single to center.
A hurried consultation was called
and it was decided to give Mr.. Meadows
the air. Smith stepped to the mound
and made pretty good start by
tanning Brown, but Rapp and Snyder
each singled to center and Nehf
walked, filling the bases. The three
runners moved up peg after Williams
pulled down Burns's long fly to center
Bancroft also walked, but Frisch ended
the agony by lifting fly to Stengel
Singles by Bancroft and Kelly and a
pair of infeld outs scored one in the
| fourth.
Giants Pounce on Smith
The Giants plastered Smith for three
hits in the seventh. Walker singled to
center and stole second. Kelly walked
and Brown singled, scoring Walker.
Kelly raced to third and Brown took
second on Meusel's throw to the plate.
Miller nailed Rapp's foul fly, but Kelly
Tailed after the catch. Snyder con-
nected for his third hit, single to
left, and Brown scored
Not one of the home players got fur
ther than second base until the eighth
inning, when they scored on two
bagger, a single and a sacrifice fly
They added another in the ninth on a
double by Williams and Meusels sim
gle to left.
Ross Young was in uniform this af-
ternoon for the first time since his ac-
cident at Memphis ten days ago. His
injured knee has recovered to such an
extent that he played nine holes at golf
this morning.
