Special Despatch 10 THE New York HERALD
CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.--Once more the
Giants had to come from behind to win
to-day. but the happy fact is that they
won. Though they still seemed TO be a
bit foggy from yesterdays double de-
feat they had enough vigor in their at
tack and just enough In their defence
to outscore the Reds by . to 4. This
result gave the Giants an even break
in the series OF six contests here and
left them a game behind the Pirates.
For the Pirates, 1t so happened, also
won.
1t was a nip and tuck battle. this
struggle OF to-day. wherein the bissest
factor In the New York attack WAS a
double by Frank Frisch. 1t drove in
two tallies and featured three run as
sault which put the pennant contenders
In the lead. Cliff Markle a right
handler, late of Atlanta and once with
the Yankees. went the route for the
Reds and really beat himself He forced
in run IN the ninth. Then the Reds
went out and got that tally back in their
half But with a tie in their grasp the
Reds We're frustrated.
Three pitchers worked for New York
and none was In trouble. Toney went
six innings in pretty good style, giving
seven hits for three runs. lie was taken
out to let Cunningham bat for him. and
n most happy move 1t proved. Sallee
followed Toney and gave three hits and
a run. Barnes was hurled into the
breach In critical moment in the ninth,
pitched three balls to Bressler and thus
ended the game.
Giants Win In Ninth.
1t took three hits and a pass to land
New YorlS's winning run in the ninth.
Sallee and Burns singled, and Bancroft
almost broke Markle's ankle with pow
erful smash which went for hit and
filed the bases. Frisch famed. Markle
tried to get Young to strike at four close
ones and failed, giving the outfielder
pass and forcing in the run. Kelly forced

session After Daubert had flied to Meu-
sci Duncan landed on Sallee for single
to left. Hargrave went in to bat for
wingo. left handed hitter, and grounded
to Rawlings. Kohn doubled to right,
scored Duncan, and put Cincinnati with
II. run of tie. Pat Moran called on
Bressler to bat for Markle, whereupon
John McGraw removed Sallee in favor
of Barnes, right handed pitcher against
a righthanded pitcher. Bressler sent
drive into left centre and, but for
great run and catch by Burns, things
might have gone blooey again.
That splendid double by Frisch and
a perfect squeeze play were the salient
factors In New York's three run rally In
the seventh.
Smith proded Markle for a single.
Cunningham was sent in to bat for
Toney and hit to centre, putting Smith
on third. Then came the squeeze, with
Burns doing the bunting. He laid down
the neatest kind OF a tap in front OF
Markle, and while Smith was scoring
Burns was blazing his way to first. He
got there in safety. Bancroft's infield
out advanced both runners They scored
when Frlsch hit almost to the fence in
right centre for two bases and drove in
Cunningham and Burns.
Two for the Reds.
Cincinnati scored two in the third in
ming on Neale's single and Bohne's
double and Groh's single.
Meusels inability to deliver in pinch
was accentuated in the sixth inning.

wabbly and yet score only one run. With
two gone Frisch and Young singled.
Kelly lashed n terrific two bagger to
right, scoring F'risch. and putting young
on third There he was left, for Meusel
grounded to Groh. In the fourth inning,
after Kelly had trippled with two down,
Meusel had gone out in n similar way.
Daubert's triple to right centre and
Duncan's single gave Cincinnati Its third
tally in the sixth session. That all hap
pened after Groh and Roush had been
easy for Rawlings.
Tonight the Giants left for ST. Louis
where they are scheduled to play four
games. The score:
