New-York tribune., 1921-09-17

Fred Toney, who pitched for the New
Workers.. gave one of the best exhibi-
tions of his long major league career.
Aided by the impenetrable defensive
play of his mates, the big right handler
held the former league leaders in COM
plete subjection from start to finish.
Toney allowed only two hits, double
by Cutshaw and single by Grimm.
Cutshaw was the only home player to
get as far as second base during the
contest. Only three others reached
first base.
Until the veteran second baseman
slammed his two-bagger to left center
field, with two out in the seventh in
ming, not one of the Pirates had con-
nected for a safe hit. During that
period only twenty-five batters, two
more than the minimum number, had
faced Toney's invincible pitching
Carey drew base on balls in the
fourth inning and Glazner got on in
the same way in the sixth.
Umpire Is Bombarded
The stands and bleachers at Forbes
Field were not quite filled to capacity,
of the most rabid sort within the in
closure, and the contest served to
demonstrate the bitter partisanship of
these followers of the fortunes>~f the
Pirates.
In the eighth inning Grimm was on
first base as the result of single, and
Schmidt drove bounder toward Raw
lings. Grimm, Intentionally or other
wise, prevented the Giants second
baseman from fielding the bali. Um-
pire Mccormick, who was officiating on
the bases, Immediately declared Grimm
out for interference.
protested the decision, but the arbiter
refused to change his ruling. Then a
disgraceful scene followed. AS McCor-
mick returned to take up his usual
station near first base at the end of
the inning, he was greeted by shower
OF pop bottles from the various sec
tions of the stands. Three Of these
struck the umpire, two bounding from
the ground and striking him on the
back and the other hitting him on the
shoulder while in full flight.
Mccormick gamely stood his ground.
although the missiles were falling ali
about him, thick and fast Finally,
after the game had been interrupted
for several minutes, he moved to the
center OF the diamond and the barrage
ceased. Several policemen were on
hand at the end of the game to afford
McCormick protection, but he walked
from the field unmolested.
Three Pitchers Bumped
To return to the contest Southpaw
Earl Hamilton, who started on the
mound for the Pirates, held the Giants
hitless until the third inning, when he
was chased to cover after the New
Workers. had pounded him for five solid
blows. Whitley" Glazner was bumped
for another hit in that inning and he
fingered on the scene until the eighth,
when he was taken out in favor Of a
hitless pinch hitter. Chief Moses Vel
lowhorse pitched the final inning for
George Gibson's clan.
The Giants scored all of their five
runs in the third inning, but one tally
would have been quite sufficient behind
the classical pitching of Toney. Incl
dentally the same Mr.. Toney drove out
single that sent the first two runs
Gathering across the plate.
Rawlings opened the assault on Ham
ilton in the third inning with a single
through Barnhart and took third when
Snyder's short fly to left field fell just
inside the foul line for two bases
Toney brought them both home with
a single past third base. Burns lifted
fly to Robertson, but Bancroft drove
a three-bagger to right center, scoring
Toney.
Frisch came through with a two
bagger off the left field fence and Ban
croft completed the circuit. Glazner
replaced the battered Hamilton at this
point and Young went out on a fly to
Carey. Kelly, however, shot single
to left and Frisch sprinted home
