New-York tribune., 1922-08-23

An error by Pat Duncan in the first
inning helped swing the vie ory TO the
metropolitan cast, FOR 1t gave the lat
ter three unearned runs as a stepping
stone to more. But McQuillan was so
thoroughly the master Of the Reds,
shown by the ease with which he put
them away when they were rebellious,
thai he could have borne down and
held them to low enough total to beat
them without the Duncan debacle in
the first. In fact, he did do that
The Giants knocked out Couch. They
didn't do much after that, but they had
runs enough before the Cincinnati side
discovered Couch wouldn't do. They
punched three fine hits ON him in the
third, and didn't score again except
for fiuke home run by Bancroft. The
Giants had good deal of luck, be-
tween Duncan's propftious muf and
Bancroft's horse shoe home run, but
they hit briskly, helded skilfully and
unerringly, and clearly outplayed the
Reds.
Efforts by the Reds to catch up were
short lived and had little life. The
general scheme Of the contest was
tame in tone, but with. some good in
dividual feats by way Of relief. Frisch's
speed on the bases and catch by
Stengel off Roush were the best Of
these. Casey suppressed Eddie in the
second inning by coming in for his
liner, twisting his gloved hand in front
Of him and making the catch palm for
ward. Then he fell and rolled over on
his shoulders.
Giants Get Away Well
Groh beat out hit in the first and
Meusel singled. Duncan dropped
Young's fly at the foul line, Groh scor-
ing, and Kelly's dribble between Dau-
bert and Fonseca brought in Meusei
and Young.
The three runs in the third, where
the game was won and lost, came in
stages. Young and Stengel singled and
/ Snyder scored them with two-bagger.
The second episode consisted Of hit
by McQuillan, which scored Snyder.
| Bancroft doubled and put McQuiilan
on third, but Groh's stab to Pinelli
opened the way to q devious but ex-
citing double play in which McQuillan
was run down at the plate, Groh drew
throw to himself by edging toward
| second, and Bancroft was caught at
| the plate trying to score while the
chase for Groh was on. This inning
ended Couch and brought in Keck.
Bancroft planted hit in front Of
Burns in the sixth, Burns slipped as
he was about to take the ball on the
first bounce. 1t passed him and went
to the right field bleachers, while Ban
croft went to the plate.
Stengel's catch in the Cincinnati sec
ond was useful as we'll as very orna-
mental. Roush, the victim thereof, was
the first man up. Fonseca followed
with hit, Hargrave flied out, but
Pinelli, swinging in the general direc-
tion of the ball and somewhat blindly,
lined it over Kelly's head for three
bases. Fonseca Tailed, and most of
the fun Cincinnati had out of the game
was just there.
Burns doubled and Daubert singled
for run in the third with one out,
whereupon McQuillan shut down on
Duncan and Roush. Roush tripied with
none out in the sixth, held third while
Bancroft threw out Fonseca, and
counted when Hargrave singled Pi-
nelli, with a single, batted Hargrave to
third, and a pass to Harper filled the
bases. Bressler batted for the pitcher,
drove a grounder to Bancroft, and the
ensuing double play cleared the bases
and the atmosphere.
