Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
PITTSBURGH, June 6.-The Giants were
doing all right to-day in their laudable
efforts TO take four straight from the
worried Pirates so long as Whitley Glaz-
ner was in the hox for the Pittsburghs.
but in the fifth Manager Gibson yanked
Glazner, sent in Babe Adams. and off
Adams the Giants made but one hit and
no runs. They were beaten ) to 4, in
the ast game of the series and in the
ninth inning with two out. They had
I to be content with three games out Of
four and relnquish first place in the
race, but in taking three out of four
they did most creditably, and the loss of
first place at this time. is a trifle light
as air.
Jesse Barnes did not pitch up to the
standard McGraw's pitchers have been
setting lately, but he pitched capable
game. none the less, showing grit and
steadiness under fire. Faults in his sup
port led to his defeat. The New York
fielding was unsteady. Errors by
. Frisch and Burns were costly. Each re-
suited in a run. and every run in
'xame as tight as this one counts heavily
sY Giants Lose a Chance.
n The Giants, it struck me. were bit
too confident. Any way, they let down
in their speed. A chance to win the
game in the first inning was lost

Kelly was the man to turn the trick, but
he let a third strike slide by without
making a move at 1t, and Walker was

Carey singled In the Pittsburgh half
and stole second with the aid Of an
enormous start. Maranville batted him
home. After Rapp had walked in the
second Smith knocked a single through
Whitten. Rapp scoring on the error and
Smith hoofing to third. Grimm, the
best fielding first baseman in this
Z league, snatched Barness liner out of
the air and averted a lot Of trouble,
though a liner from Burns to Whitted
brought In Smith.
Walker tripled in the fourth and
scored on Smithy's two bagger, and in
the Pittsburgh hals Whitted singled and
was forced by Barnha-t. Grimm singled
to centre. and there followed slow field
ing by New York and smart base run

Barnhart dashed to third and Grimm
tore to second while the Giants were
hinging the ball hither and yon futilely.

an unearned run.
Pirates Tie in Eighth.
Burns was responsible for the tying
run In the eighth. Barnes all afternoon
had been doing well by putting the first
ball over and following with slow ball.
But Whitted in the eighth outguessed
him. He let the first one pass and laid
for that slow ball He whacked a snort
ing single through Ba' crofts legs.
Burns fumbled and Whitted went on to
second. Barnhart bunted and Whitted
beat Barness throw to Rapp-another
case OF lack of quick handling. Whitted
came in while Frisch, Bancroft and
Kelly were making a double play.
Adams opened the ninth with a hit
and Bigbee cleverly poked line single
to left. Molsan ran for Adams and was
forced at third by Carey. Marsnville
forced Carey, Kelly TO Bancroft. All that
remained was TO dispose OF Cutshaw.
Burns took no chances with the wall
and let a foul from Cutshaw's bat hit
the ground. The next crack Cutshaw
had at the ball produced a hard
grounder to Frisch. which the latter
kicked. II was a tough chance and
base hit. but F'risch often has snnothered
the same sort. Bigbee tailed. while
