sggregations, numbering some fifty
whole, the whole" would be so full {
would accept the combination with
measure.
The shame of it all is that Judge
Keaesaw Mountain Lands, high poten-
tate of baseball, was obliged to be 4
spectator at one of the two farces of
yesterday.
The presence of Judge lands was
due to the unveiling of the memorial
60 Captain Eddie Grant, former Giant,
who lost his life in the Argonne Forest
during the World War. The ceremony
attending the unveiiing was the most
impressive the Polo Grounds has ever
furnished setting for.
So there was pathos and humor in
generous quantities afforded the thou
sands OF fans who somehow or other
were unable or unwilling to heed the
holiday call to more pleasant pastures
of green than Henry Fabian's battle
worn sod.
Toney in Easy Victory
The pathos attendant upon the cere-
mony in connection with the unVelhng
of the Grant memorial is the theme
AZ separate story The humor sup
nI;ed bv the antics of the Feeble Flllles
IN their endeavor to win at least one
hall game began to make its presence
felt soon after the morning game
started with less than 1000 fans on
hand.
Fred Toney was the Giant pitcher
and his pathway was most smooth' al
though ne allowed just as many hits as
his two rival boXmen, Huboell ana
Belts. AS an illustration OF the ore
stra;ts of Donovan's Fillies, thlrd
b,,risr had t6 be introduced for pinch
L;tt;,g nurposes. His name is Baum
gartner. Ao +ha .rrvas
~ their former pal, Hubbell, in the
Srst inning, which George Burns
nnsned with a double down the lett
Seld foul line. Bancroft sacrificed
pmrns to third, and Fordham trisch
brought George the rest OF the way
home. with a long fly to right, whicn
was caught by Neale with one manu-
after long run. 4,,ro
Neale crashed into the concrete wall
erd fell to the ground senseiess, but
still holding the ball. He was carried
from the field and it was reported
later that he was getting along nicely
after two stitches had been taken over
his left eye.
Neale, tied the score in their half OF
the third and caused Toney his only
real worry of the entire game. W. W.
men were out when Irish Meusel hit
TO right for two bases. Wrightstonee
singled through Fordham F'risch and
Meusel tailed
McGraw Men Take the Lead
Toney, seemingly furious at such
rough treatment, was the first batter to
face Hubbell in the Giants third, and
he swung so wickedly that the ball
dropped into the lower right field stand
for a home run, which put the McGraw
men once more in the lead. Although
the Giants added three more runs to
their total the Phillies curled up com
pletely, getting only one more SAFE nit
from Ponderous Fred.
In the olden days it was customary
to give home runs a prominent place IN
baseball tales, but as they are no
longer the novelty they were, the hon.
ers of Yesterday may as we'll be men
toned at this late date. In addition to
Toney, Ross Young in the first game
and Earl Smith, Frank Snyder, and
"Bugs" Bruggy, Of Philly, all produced
these sort Of things in the second con-
TEST, in which twenty-five hits and
nineteen runs were accumulated by the
two teams Jointly.
In this second session PM Douglas
and Bill Ryan did the pitching for the
Giants, while George smith, Cutey
Keenan,, Baumgartner and Hubbell
were the moundsmen for the Phillies.
There Is no denying that Bill Donovan
tried every means possible to turn in
victory, but, as has been said by some
sage, quantity is not quality, so his best
efforts went for naught.
The Giants did the greater part of
their damage in the second frame when
they scored four runs through the me-
dium Of triples by Young and Walker,
= single by Raspp and 2 home run by
Workers fell upon Keenan,, who had
eusted George Smith as the visiting
pitcher with such telling effect that
two more runs resulted, A single by
Fgiseh, sacrifice by Young, q double
by Kelly and single by Walker pro-
duced the counters.
Phillies Pick Up a Run
The Phillies picked up a run for
themselves in the fourth when Meusel
doubled and Wrightstone singled
through Rapp's under-pinning But
tuted for Earl Smiht, cancelled this
Philly tally with home run far up
into the left field bleachers.
Scoring from this period on became
fast and furious and this combined
with the ludicrous attempts of Dono-
vans men to check the wild base run
ming Of the Giants, kept the fans in
continuous state of merriment. When
there did happen to be a lapse of a
moment or two the Fort Slocum band
played a little lively jazz just to keep
the spirit moving.
Fordham Frisch was the chief often
der on the base paths, that is from
the Philly standpoint Frank had the
sntire enemy infield chasing him be-
tween first and second in the eighth,
but he eventually dived into the initial
oag covered with dust and safe.
The feeble Fnlies will appear in
our midst again this afternoon, but
with either Cecil Algernon Causev.
iImmy Ring or Lee Meadows twirlinp
s Tor the Quaker City boys there NAV
be different story. A bit of onpo-
sition would be welcome and keen the
nome lads in trim for their first in
vasion, of the midwest, which starts
Thursday. ''N- 20
