Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Aug. There were ever
so many reasons for felicitating the
Giants this afternoon. They came
through with a brilliant performance at
bat and afield and defeated the Cubs
by score of to 2. To add to the fes-
tive aspect of the occasion for the
Giants George Kelly came out OF his
lethargy and hammered his nineteenth
home run into the left field beachers
But good deal of the joy was dis
counted by an accident to Frank Frisch,
an accident painful but not serious.
Frisch was knocked cold by ground
er from the bat of Maisel in the sixth
inning. Maisel took Il terrific slam at
the leather and it travelled just inside
the foul line. no higher than a foot from
the ground. 1t struck in front Of
Frisch. and as the third baseman
stopped to make the stop the ball took
a hop and struck him over the right eye.
Frisch went down as il he had been
felled with a nallet. He came to and
was assisted to the slIbhouse. where
it was found that had suffered a
deep cut. 1t was painful injury, SINH
lar to that which struck down Deal at
the Polo Grounds some time ago. 1t is
expected that Frisch will be back at
third tomorrow. Frisch's retirement
forced McGraw to transfer Burns to
third and to send Cunningham to centre
field.
The Giants had no trouble in hit
ting Alexander and neither did the Cubs
have any trouble in hitting Barnes. New
York made twelve safe whacks and
Chicago fourteen, but the Giants made
more of their opportunities. The blow
that beat the great Alex WAS not kelly's
homer but triple by Young. whose hit
ting has been a feature of this trip
Young selected a pretty and appropriate
spot for the slam. He turned it i'll with
the bases filled in the fourth inning.
after the Cubs had gone to the front with
runs in the second and third. Young's
drive downed the Cubs. but he scored
too.
KeIIy's Day % 'FRONT.'.
Then in the sixth came Kelly's homer.
The big first baseman had an enjoyable
and profitable afternoon. for he made
three hits and a sacrifice in four times
up. Bancroft delivered a damaging
double and fielded brilliantly. Meusel
followed up his success of yesterday
with another brace of hits.
There was extreme violence IL The
slugging bee with which the Giants
scored their four runs in the fourth and
took the lead. The triple by Young
knocked Alexander loose from his cIua-
nimity. Burns started the rally with n
sizzler which bored through Deal. Ban
croft cracked a double to right centre
and Deal lost Frischs high one in the
sun, filling the bases. AlecS threw a
ball to Young and then sneaked over two
strikes in lightning succession.
He started 10 put over third, but
this time Young was set and very much
prepared. He gave the ball long ride.
1t went to the left field corner. while
three Giants scored and Young perched
on third. Kelly lashed a liner TO right
centre and FTack made one of the star
plays OF the day, robbbing George Of a
triple. The effort scored Young with
the fourth run.
Two hits and an error figured in New
York's two runs in the eighth round and
made the score to .. With two cut
Young walked. He travelled to third
on Kelly's scorching single 10 centre
and scored on Meusel's sharp rap to
