BY DANIEL.
AS Harry Pulliam was so fond of re-
iterating. you never can tell in base
ball. The great Alexander beaten, the
renowned Vaughn knocked out Of the
box, the efficient Tyler trounced. too,
and along comes kid by the name of
Cheeves and makes his more famous
mates look like a set Of tailor's dunn
miesl Who is Cheeves? Why. he's the
hird who took the Giants right out in
txsblic view at the Polo Grounds yester-
tm9 and made them give rather innoc-
aOns exhibition of Indian club swinging
and outrageous snubbing Of the lively
ball.
Cheeyes right handed the Cubs to
very neat and perhaps even gaudy tri-
umph over the New Yorks. with the
count to 2. The recruit held the
Giants to only four hits, True, one was
home run by Frank Frisch-a mighty
stab into the upper tier of the right field
stand-which gave the lead to the locals
by to l in the sixth inning. But out
side of the Frisch swat there was moth
ing of the heroic about the work of the
McGraw outfit. And even Franks ex-
plot was matched by the visitors. for
Terry hit homer into right centre with
one on in the eighth.
Our Giants acted as IL three in a row
over the Cubs had made them groggy,
for they suffered a relapse not only in
hitting but in every other department
as we'll. The local pitchers were about
as effective as you might be If you were
trying to pick pepper out Of buckshot
with a pair of boxing gloves. OF course
there had to be three New York Fingers
for such an occasion. 1t was Fred
Toney for seven innings and four runs.
three counters in the seventh clinching
the game. Then Phil Douglas. famed
home run hitter, for one short frame,
with Rube Benton to officiate in the
final obseQuies.
Couldn't Get to Cheeves.
However. since the Giants could not
get to Cheeves most Of the poor pitching
and poor work in the field Of the locals
did not matter anyway. When you get
only two singles and a homer the
chances are that you are deserving OF a
beating. If you watched Cheeves from
behind the plate you were at a loss to
know just how he was getting by. He
had nothing particularly battling, yet
the evidence is that he baffled.
He had a knack Of putting over fast
one on the inside just when the Giants
thought they were headed for first on
a free ticket. Cheeves hooked wild
until the home boys tried to get some
where. and then he became tighter than
bungalow door on a rainy day. Ross
Young, who got two passes and a single.
was the only Giant who could solve the
Cheeves system, but even he stood stock
still while a third strike wiggled over
the plate In the sixth Burns suffered
the same fate In that frame and in be-
tween the two strike outs came the
Frisch homer.
Walker was the only other Giant who
could find Cheeves-and IL was Bee
ville's" hit to right In the second which
tied the game at l all Young walked
and went to second on Gonzales's infield
out. Walker lashed his single to right
and Young came home. Mighty fine
fielding saved Cheeves from a lot of
lfngs was robbed Of q double by Bar
Der, and F1ack committed larceny at
the expense of Smith.
Three Giants Sec Third.
Cheeves famed five men. walked
three. hit one-and only three Giants
got as far as third base. AS for the
Giant trio of twirlers. they yielded
twelve hits-and they were in hot water
nearly all the time.
Toney was no enigma from the open
on Hollocher's hit to centre. Terry hit
into a double play, but the run was In.
Quick thinking by Young saved Toney
IN the third round. Cheeves singled to
left and F1ack hit to right. Hollocher
poled fly into short right. Young
trapped 1t, and threw to Bancroft. fore
ing F1ack Bannie shot the ball to
Frisch. doubling Cheeves, whereat Oscar
Dugey howied derisively at Mr.. Bren-
nan. the umpire. and was chased to the
bench.
II a hitting hero there was among
the Cubs, he was Marriott who in the
role Of pinch hitter for Killefer In the
active seventh came through with hit
which was responsible for two runs and
put the game out OF the reach of the
Giants. Terry started the inning with
q hit, and Grimes was safe on Frisch's
throw. Barber sacrificed. Twombly
came to bat for Maisel and walked, fill
ing the bases. Deal singled to centre
and scored Terry.
Marriott Scores Two.
Then came Marriott. He lashed ono
20 left which sent Grimes and Twombly
across the plate, too. In so far as the
New Yorks were concerned. that took
all the foam off the Pilsener.
In the eighth. off Douglas. Flack got
q tainted hit. because Phil acted as IL
he were cast In one piece. Hollocher
sacrificed, and UP came Terry and his
homer inside the grounds. Off Benton
in the ninth Daily singled and Cheevcs
singled. Flack forced Cheeves. A
double steal was started and Flack got
To second. Smiths throw was wild,
whereat Run Number Seven was rung
up for the Evers aggregation.
After a three day layoff George Kelly
came back into the game in the eighth
inning. His batting effort in the ninth,
after Young had singled, was long fly
to F'lack. The score:
