CT the next three games they will lar
Wilbur Cooper, perhaps the most eff
fective southpaw in the big show to-
day, was the pitching selection of Man
ager George Gibson and the choice
turned out to be very unfortunate for
FIVE innings, during which he was
maced for eleven hits and eight runs.
linn, young Highlander, went to
the mound for the visitors in the sixth
and he, too, was treated rather harshly
by the Giant batsmen. Zinn allowed
seven hits and five runs in the three
innings he worked
Prodigal Phil Douglas was the New
York pitcher, and Phil, although found
for eleven safe blows, kept them we'll
scattered, no more than two being
punched in any one inning.
Gets Double and Single
1t should be mentioned that Douglas
is rapidly gaining high rank as bat
ter. On his last start previous to yes
terday Phil hit home run and yester-
cay he connected for double and q
Jingle. Any ordinary ball-tosser would
have made triple out of his two-base
blow, but Phil had all he could do to
reach the midway station despite TIE
fact that the ball he hit sailed far
over the head of George Carey in
center
The Giants did practically all their
hammering of Cooper in two innings,
the first and the fifth, each of which
petted the home nine four runs. The
Pirates got away to one-run lead in
batter. banged out double to left and
ran to third on Carey's sacrifice, pitcher
to first. Meanwhile walked and Cut
shaw singled to left. the first of his
three hits of the afternoon. Bigbee
easily scored, but Cutshaw was cut
DOWN at second trying to stretch his
hit. Robertson strolled, but Barnhardt
couldn't locate Douglass splitter and
famed.
Burns ushered in the Giant half of
the initial session by drawing a pass.
Bancroft made the first of three
singles, pretty drive to left, and
Burns went to second. Frisch attempt
ed to sacrifice, but hunted too hard
and Burns was forced at third. Young
hit safely to left, Bancroft tallying.
Kelly followed with a double off the
right field wall and Frisch scored.
Cunningham famed. but Rawlings
Young and Kelly crossed the plate.
Synder struck out, but it was perfect
ly apparent by this time that South
paw Cooper was decidedly off color.
Pirates Get One in Third
The Pirates picked up their second
run in the third inning, Johnny Raw
lings helping matters along with bad
muff. Carey beat out hit to Kelly,
Douglas being slow-footed in covering
first. Meanwhile forced Carey at sec
ond and the rabbit" would have been
forced in turn by Cutshaw had not
Rawlings dropped Bancroft's throw
Robertson walked and Cutshaw count
cd on Barnhardt's infeld out, third to
first.
In the fifth Cooper went entirely to
pieces and the hits fell fast and furi-
Gus. Burns, Bancroft, Frisch and
Young singled in succession for one
run. Kelly came up with all the bases
occupied and nobody out, but after hit
ting aGzee powerful fouls Long George
whitfield. Cunningham flied to Robert
son, Bancroft scoring after the catch.
Rawlings beat an infeld bounder over
the pitchers box, tallying Frisch. Sny-
der singled to left, Young registering
the final run Of the inning.
The Giants pounced upon linn for
two more runs in the sixth, single by
Bancroft, triple by Frisch and
single by Young doing the business.
The last Giant tally came in the eighth
when Frisch singled, stole second and
third and crossed the platter on Cum
.,ingham's fly to center. The Pirates
gathered one counter in the seventh
and another in the eighth, but what
was the use?
