Of the tailenders put the Giants five
Pirates.
The performance Of Meadows, who is
about the only pitcher OF major league
caliber on the Phillies' staff, was all
the more brilliant for she reason that
he received wrctched support. particu-
1uriy on the part of his inficlders. The
visiting twirier allowed nine hits, but
kept these scattered enough to keep his
opponents away from the plate until
the ninth inning.
Jess Barnes, who WAS on the mound
for the Giants, also pitched good ball
until he was derricked in favor of
Slim Sallee yielded one hit in each of
the last two innings.
New York Fielding Is Ragged
The work of the Giant infeldcrs
was slow and ragged. Rawlings was
the chief offender in this respect, and
the slow fielding by the former second
basement of the Phillies spoiled at
least two chances to complete double
plays. Several grounders to Bancroft
and Frisch which went for hits should
have been converted into put-outs.
The Phillies punched three singles
of Barnes in the fourth inning and
gained one-run lead. Jack Miller
beat out a hard bounder to Frisch and
took second on Lebourveaus bunt to
Barnes. Curtis drew base on balls
after the count had reached three and
two. Big Ed Konetchy poked single
through Bancroft, filing the bases.
Lee King lifted fly to left field
which should have been an easy catch
for Meusel. but it fell safe and Miller
crossed the plate. Konetchy chung to
first base expecting the fly to be
caught, but he arrived at second in
safety when Meusel tossed the ball to
Bancroft instead of throwing it to
out on the slow moving Honey. Park
inson forced Walker at the plate on a
roller to Barnes and Buggy forced
Parkinson at second on grounder to
Bancroft.
The cellar champions connected for
two more hits in the fifth inning and
scored what proved to be the winning
run. Meadows led with a single to left
and Monroe moved him to second on a
hunt to the box. Miller went out on a
fly to Meusel, but Lebourveau shot a
Meadows. Walker grounded to Raw
lings and Lebourveau was cut down at
second.
The Giants passed up numerous
in the third inning, when they made
three hits without getting run
Barnes drove a single to- right and
Cunningham popped to Monroe. Ban
croft shot another single to right, send
ing Barnes to second Frisch's grounder
hit Bancroft, who was sprinting tow
ard second. 1t went for single, but
Bancroft was declared out and Barnes
was sent back to second. Young failed
to come through in the pinch, going
out on a roller to Monroe.
Meadows wavered momentarily in
the ninth and the Giants managed to
save them selves from a shutout. After
Rawlings had famed, Snyder beat out
hard smash to Parkinson and went
to second when the Phillies' shortstop
heAved the ball over Konetchy's head
Brown, who was sent in to bit f.
Sallee, popped to Parkinson.
ningharh poked single to
scoring Snyder, but Bancroft ..lcd
to Monroe, ending the game.
George Burns, who was rendered I'M
conscious when hit by pitched ball
in Sundays zane, was not at his usual
post yesterday Although three stitches
were taken over Georges left eye, it
il said he may get back into the lineup
to-day.
Earl Smith, who was indefinitely sus-
pended by Manager McGraw during the
Giants recent Western trip, suddenly
returned to the game yesterday. Smith
was nominated to bat for Barnes in
the seventh inning and he responded
by cracking the first ball to center
field for a single.
Collides With the Wall
De Witt Lebourveau, the Phillies'
right fielder, crashed into the right
field wall in the sixth inning after
catching Snyder's fly. He fell to the
ground. badly stunned, but refused to
quit the game.
Big Ed Konetchy continued his hit
ing streak yesterday and connected
tor four successive singles. He has
now made eight hits in his last eight
times at bat.
