PIRATES UNABLE TO
STOP GIANTS RUSH
Jesse Barnes Gets Bulletproof
Support From Kelly, Frisch
GrOh.
BY w. o. McGEEHAN.

In vain did the so-called Pirates call
upon Yellowhorse, their Pawnee In
dian medicine man. to make medicine
of the Giants at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. The local palefaces fiat
tened him just as thoroughly as they
did Glazner, who started the game,
ishing race vanished into the showers
at the end of the seventh inning.
AS he left the field he was heard to
say in the quaint Pawnee dialect-
ugh. Injun no cap make medicine
for Giant paleface and pieface."
Yellowhorse is reputed to be a di-
rect descendant of Charleyhorse. the
first Indian known to the national
pastime. 1t was enormously stated in
these columns the other day that
Yelowhorse Is Choctaw. Our office
Indianologist Apologies for the error.
He explains that he was deceived by
certain mark on the skull of Yellow
horse which resembled the totem of
the Choctaws. But he has since as
certained that the supposed totem was
merely the mark of a brick with
which the noble redskin had been
beaned early in his baseball career.
To the credit of George Gibson. COM
mander of the so-called Pirates. he did
not call upon the sinister redskin until
all seemed lost Then even after he did
call upon him all was lost anyhow. so
frightfulness got the visitors nothing.
Jess Barnes. the young man in the box
for the Giants, got some support from
Kelly, F'risch and Groh that would make
any pitcher bulletproof.
The Giants started swinging their
bats in the first inning. Bancroft sin
gled and Frisch hoisted long one to
right Heinie der Groh drove one to
left and took second when Bigbee jug
gled the ball for few seconds. Irish
Meusel hit to right and scored Bancrof,
and Groh.
In the second inning Glazner was
knocked lopsided. Barnes pasted him
for a triple to right center and 1T would
have been a homer If Jess had been in
a hurry TO get anywhere. Bancroft fol-
lowed this with a triple to left field,
scoring Barnes. At this point of the
proceedings George Gibson sent out
smoke signals to the bull pen for yell
I lowhorse.
The Redskin trotted in from the re-
servation with a gait that suggested
his widely known and greatly feared
ancestor. Charleyhorse. and took his
place i'm the box while the scattered
squaws in the stands hid their papooses.
! In the old days the papooses would have
cTawled under the maternal skirt but
with the present fashions there IS no
maternal skirt ample enough to hide
even a small papoose.
Yellowhorse looked formidable enough
at the start as he wiggled his ears and
grinned. which is the silent Pawnee
death yell. lie passed Groh, and Ban
I croft scored on Meusel's out. 1t looked
as though the scalping. burning at the
stake and torture would come later.
In the fourth inning frankie Frisch
OF Fordham showed what football train
ing will do for a baseball player. With
one on, Grimm slashed a hard one down
toward the Fordham alumnus. Frisch
had 90 thrown himself flat on the
ground to stop the ball. While still re-
clning in this position he slapped the
ball TO Bancroft for n fcrceout
In the fifth Hein;e Groh and Long
George Kelly starred together. Maran-
looked like sure hit. Groh grabbed
the ball with a bacl<hand stab and shot
IL to Kelly IL was . hard one 10 field
and the throw was far from perfect. but
Long George extended mis- wing to hs
full length and. speari1s the ball, nailed
the Rabbit as he shot 20 the bag.
In the fifth inning Lo. the poor
Pawnee, got all twisted Up by the local
palefaces. With one ou' Meusel, Young
and Kelly fell upon to scion Of the van
ishing race for a hit csch which scored
one run. Casey S.engel walked and
filled the bases with Giants. Snyder
hoisted one to Bigbee. Who threw TO the
infield as Young starred Cor the plate.
The ball passed u.To1gh the legs OF
Yellowhorse. the legs being bowed after
the custom OF his great ancestor. Char
leyhorse. As the pill rolled through this
crude but impressive arch IL glanced off
one of the sharp shins of Yellowhorse.
This diverted its course so that IL rolled
toward the pest box and both Young
and Meusel scored.
The lone run OF the Pirates was scored
after Yeliowhorse mad retired to his
tepee. Hooch Gooch singled 10 left and
finally reached the dish on couple OF
outs and single.
