Frightful Pummeling.
BY CHARLES A. TAYLOR.


Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HEnA1p.
BRISTOL. Tenn, April 6.-The world
champion Giants gave the Chicago
White Sox a thorough trouncing here
to-day. the score being IS to 8. The
Bristol fans seemingly had spent all
their coin yesterday VIXEN Babe Ruth
and his Yankee troupe played here to
a crowded house, for only a thousand
were on hand for this afternoons one
sided affair.
Had it not been for one OF those
rabid fellows to be found at every ball
game there would have been abso-
lutely nothing to amuse the custom
ers. This particular one had a slang
vocabulary that astonished both the
Broadway and Chicago boys, hardened
as they are. The local Chamber Of
Commerce also furnished perfectly
good brass band. but Umpire Bill
Klein became offended VIXEN the base
drum stifled his decisions and ordered
the musicians to shut up. Afterward
KLEIN rescinded his edict to the extent
of allowing a minimum of jazz be-
tween innings.
Cecil Algernon Causey. alias the Red,
was the Giant pitcher who kept the Sox
walking the straight and narrow path.
Cecil Algernon occupied the hillock for
seven innings, during which the Chicago
n;pe gathered seven hits and their three
-uhs. Pat Shea. another red thatched
twirler. walked on the mound FOR the
McGraw men in the eighth and ninth,
end although he was not-scored on he
appeared a trihe ehy on control.
Charley Robertson. hailed as one OF
the finest rookie prospects of the 1922
crop, was chosen by Manager Kid Glea-
son to do the curving for the Sox. Char
ley was subjected to a frightfu. pum-
melting the Giants falling upon him for
eleven hits and ten runs in the six
innings he labored. Lefty Russell An
ished what was left of the ball game as
the Chicago pitcher, pnd he turned out
to be just as easy a mark as his prede-
cessor, the New Yorkers solving his de-
livery for five hits and three runs in two
innings.
The Giants did not hesitate long IN
getting after Robertson, piling up seven
runs In the second inning on five hits
and four bases on balls. Twelve Me-
Graw men In ali went to the bat in this
wearisome frame. With one out Irish
Meusel banged the ball to left for a
single and stole second Long George
Kelly toed the mark with another safety
TO left, on which Irish scored. SINNERS
teat out an infield hit only 10 be forced
at second by Earl Smith. Algie Causey
walsed and tt,a ha yara ftrfl
Robertson here lost all sense OF direc-
ton and passed both Bancroft and Raw
lings, forcing two men over the plate.
Bill Cunningham followed with double
tc left and went to third on Young's
single to the same field. Yaryan threw
wildly to second when a double steal was
attempted and Cunningham crossed the
plate. Meusel up for the second time,
drew pass and once more stole second,
but Kelly called halt to the run maxi
ing by flying to Harry Hooper.
In the sixth the Giants added three
more tailies on singles by Smit' and
Hancroft, a triple by JOHN Rawlings
and an infield out. Still dissatisfied,
the world champs registered two runs in
the seventh through a single by Kelly,
a double by SINNERS, sacrifice fly by
CASTOR and a single by Snyder. The
last Giant counter came In the eighth
when Cunningham singled, took second
and third on passed balls and scored on
tumble BY no less a parsonage than
Eddie Collins.
The White Sox made two OF their
runs In the fourth, Collins and Hooper
singing and both travelling home on
Amos Strunk's two bagger down the
right field foul line. THE final Chicago
run In the seventh was due TO a base on
balls to Mostll. double by Bubser and
single by Big Falk hitting for Bah
ertson.
The series now stands 5 TO 4 In favor
of the White Sox. with three more
games TO be played one In Norfolk to-
morrow and two at the Polo Grounds on
Saturday and Sunday. The Giants need
all the remaining contests II they are
70 carry off the honors.

Giant lineup to-day after weeks alb
