Dave Bancroft's one-horse pop fly for
the final out of the game Rabbit Maran-
Vile and couple of other Pirates ac-
tually fell on his neck and waltzed
around him in the unexpected JOY of
triumph.
To Cooper, tha little southpaw, goes
most Of the 1edit for halting the
champions aftM they had accumulated
a string of six straight successes, with
a fourteen-inning tie game in between.
True enough old Max Carey did his
usual share with two hits, run scored
and pass, and Johnny Gooch was there
with three hits, including double, and
scored two runs himself. But still it
was Cooper, who by his great come
back and alright pitching, really
turned the tide for the Steel City boys.
Though tough luck has been their lot
their ambition and fighting spirit have
not been stolen away. Cooper, after
bad first inning, allowed only three hits
and no runs thereafter.
Looks Easy for Giants
When Kelly crowned one Of Cooper's
twisters and sent the ball over the
fence with the bases full, after one
Giant run had already been scored in
the opening round, it looked like
peaches and cream for the champs. The
result seemed such a foregone conclusion
that time was taken by many spectators
to gossip about Kelly's record rather
than watch the game. It was Kelly's
ninth homer, one more than Meusel has,
and his third in two games.
But after that Cooper got so mad that
he str11ck ont Jonv Geo-oo fui opd
made him pop up his other time at bat.
AS with Kelly, so with the rest Of the
Giants from the start of the second to
the finish. Meusel struck out twice,
too. 1t was eight hits for the Giants
against fourteen for the Pirates, every
"bucco" hitting safely except Cooper.
Toney's passing from the picture was
gradual crumbling that began in the
second with two hits, only to be post
Rawlings, who stopped Tierney's single
back in right field and threw Barnhart
out at third by a marvellous peg. Toney
was pounded hard in the third and
fourth and lost the lead in the fifth.
Causey appeared in the seventh and al
lowed the Pirates another run.
The Giants made three errors, two of
them by Young, and all three bobbles
indirectly resulted in runs. Carey
felded splendidly, making at least
four spectacular running catches, and
the other Pirates helped in according
Cooper perfect support.
Kelly Hits for Circuit
The Giants started and finished their
scoring in the first inning. Bancroft
singled to right Rawlings was hit and
F'risch bunted safely, filling the bases
Meusel famed, but Gooch had
passed ball on the third strike and
Bancroft scored. Young was hit by a
pitched ball, again filling the bases,
and Kelly hit over the right field wall,
making the score to o. Cunningham
and Snyder followed with hits, Toney
was an easy cut, and then Bancroft
walked, again crowding the corners.
Rawlings forced Snyder at third, end
ing this inning
From this time to the end Of the
game the Giants got three hits-made
by Young, Cunningham and Snyder
and no runs. Two of the hits arrived
IN the ninth, with one out and two runs
needed to tie. Groh's strikeout and
bancroft's an, pop fly ended the game.
The Pirates got two runs in the third
on Gooch's single to right, a poor
throw,,in by Young, Maranville's single,
Carey's walk and another single by
Bigbee. A fast double play prevented
further scoring. In the fourth the
Pirates tied up the game. Ems walked
and was forced by Tierney. Singles
by Grimm and Gooch, a wild pitch by
Toney and a single by Maranviile made
it to 5.
In the fifth the Pirates went to the
front. Carey singled and was forced
by Bigbee. Bigbee was boxed between
first and second. but escaped and made
second on low throw by Bancroft. A
single by Ems sent Bigbee in. After
Ioney gave way to pinch hitter in
the seventh the Pirates collected their
hnal run off Causey. Carey singled,
advanced an extra base on Young's
hart.
