terday's session was alarming, 1t being
the third time in row that the Pirates
have left their spike prints on the necks
Of the Giants. The one optimist was
Gene Sarazen, open golf champion of
the United States. When asked his
opinion of the disaster and the causes
therefor Mr.. Sarazen said. disaster?
What do you mean, dlaster? AS l see

the Pittsburgh men took II. Conse-
Quently the Giants win. By the way,
what Is par for this hole?"
At this point Jesse Burkett OF the
Giant coaching staff, who was brooding
in the pest box, shrieked aloud, "A nut.
A NUT" He left the place abruptly.
He did not hear the concluding remark
of Mr.. Sarazen. which was in the nature
of a criticism. Il though that the

The latest humiliation was placed
upon the Giants by person who is not

ECKER of Earl. or course, the Giants
catcher's front name is Earl, but 1t is
pronounced "Oil," which makes it diff
ferent. Besides "On" Smith can lick
anybody who thinks that there is any
significance in his being named Earl
This Earl Hamilton of the Pirates had
the Giants swinging after the first in
ming or two and squelched most of the
heavy artillery with the exception of
Irish Meusel and Bill Cunningham. Also
Earl got himself couple of hits, which
seems to be habit of the Pirate pitch
crs recently. The last time the Pirates
were here they looked like candy for
the children. Now they look like a col
lection of tough eggs.
The Giants got two when Earl ner-
vously passed Bancroft and Heinie
6roh, the first two up. F'risch sacrificed
them along in the conventional fashion.
Irish Meusel hit them home with a sin
gle to center. Then the Pirates started
punching the swats in the second. Tier
ney and Traynor singled in turn and
advanced on Grimm's out. The single
of Hooch Gooch past Heine der Groh,
the returned convalescent, brought them
both home and tied the score.
1t was In this inning tha: Jess Barnes,
the elder and the more serious of the
Barnes boys, sustained a jol. in the
shin from ball batted there.-om by
Earl Hamilton. After leaving the shin
the ball struck Jess in the funny bone
and temporarily incapacitated him. That
blow seemed to soften Jess for what

Traynor opened that inning with a
single and was forced by Grimm. Gooch
singled to left and Earl Hamilton sim
gied to the same sector. which filled
the bases with Pirates. Rabbit Maran-
Vile slammed a two-bagger to left,
scoring Grimm and Gooch. This was
all the work required OF Mr.. Jess Barnes
that afternoon.

Carey and walked him. Bigbee struck
out. Red Russell poked a single to
right and Hamilton, Maranville and
Carey scored as Young manhandled the
ball.
The second member of the Barnes
family was practically ruined in the

his sides with their cutlasses in their

made twelve runs in all for the Pirates
and they practically loafed the rest Of
the afternoon.
Irish Hits Homer.
There wore signs Jf partial anima-
tion among the Giants in the seventh
and the eighth. In the seventh Bill
Cunningham trip'ed and scored on a
sacrifice. In the eighth Irish Meusel
banged a homer into the right field
stands. Otherwise the Giants did not
regain consciousness. Jonnard finished
the game. or what was left to be fin

did their part.

sum OF money and an enormous amount
OF baseball player in the person of
Fred Toney. did not arrive yesterday
He should not have lost his way, as
the spiked trail OF the Boston players
coming to the Polo Grounds is pretty
well worn and defined by this time
Most of the Red Sox have come TO the
Yanks over II and not q few Braves
have travelled the same route to the
Giants.
Next season the plan will be TO ship
all tho players destined to go to New
York clubs from Boston in one boat
load. The boat can then 20 back In
ballast with Fred Toney. This would
be a more efficient and economical way
of making the ivory shipments.
IL looks tough for the Giants to-day.
