Pirates, after two days in the grip of
The Giants were pretty thoroughly
out Of it all during the game. They
had little chance against the artful and
proficient pitching of Southpaw Wilbur
Cooper, whose control was so deity
shaded that he worked the outside cor
ner Of the plate to the continued puz-
element of the array of righthanded
hitters elected to face him.
Likewise, Arthur Nehf's long domi-
nance over the Pittsburgh batters came
to an end. Nehf was Knocked out in
the second inning. He wasn't up to his
standard and couldn't apply the stuff
TO the ball he usually does.
The Pirates had the useful faculty to
make their hits count and raped the
ball with deadly and cohesive earnest
meas. That is, they hit hard when
they did hit and they made their hits
ACCOUNTED for runs. Jonnard held them
pretty we'll until the ninth inning,
when they bundled q triple. home
run and two singles.
The Giants went hitless in six Of
their nine innings, and the two men
who scored were the only ones to reach
third base. Nehf's string Of consecu-
tive victories over the Pirates up to
this afternoon was twelve games long.
Nehf Takes Lacing
Nehf took hard lacing in the first
inning and for dubious few minutes
IL looked as if he must be shelled from
the hill top. Maranville singled and
Carey singled, and that was one run in.
Although King made splendid throw
after absorbing Barnhart's fly, Carey
was too fast and scored from third on
the catch Snyder missed him by an
inch as he streaked over.
Grimm, Meanwhile and Grimm
smothered Meusel and King in double
play in the second inning after Meusel
had opened with single. More rough
usage for Nehf in the second inningl
The ball was insentient and unrespon-
sive to his handling, and it curved up to
the alters as large as SNOWFALL and
was hit forcefullv A base on alls
and singles by Schmidt and Meanwhile
and a run came in. Maranyille's hit
drove Mehf to the contemplation of the
bench and Jonnard came in. The latter
filled the bases by walking a man, but
just the same he allowed no scoring.
A force at the plate and the air chop
ping act of Reb Russell ended that par
ticular period of piratical revelry.
.
which the ball appeared to be an in
viting target, to the snappy speed of
Jonnard upset Pittsburgh's high jinks
materially.
In the fourth inning three high flies
were hit to Cunningham in center, ali
off fast balls. Meanwhile, however,
the Giants were helpless. Meusel in
the second, on the strength of hit,
was the sole traveller for the first five
innings. He reached first in the sterile
period, but none of his Manhattan as
socistes did.
Pirates Passion for Triples
The black flag crew had a passion
for three-baggers, Carey and Tierney
Jumped hits Of that dimension off JON
nard in the fifth inning, and as Carey
was on third when Tierney made his
triple, the natural consequence was
run.
Cooper's service was gauged in the
sixth, but not seriously 1t took an err
Yor to produce a run. Cunningham
doubled to left and Bigbee's miss OF
the same allowed Cunningham to con-
tinue to third. The infeld stayed back,
and while Meanwhile was throwing
Snyder out, Cunningham crossed the
plate with run. Jonnard hunted and
beat it, an unexpected play. but Cooper
stepped on the gas little and re-
sumed his tyranny over the Gotham
The fifth Pittsburgh three Dagger
sprang from the bat of Russell il the
eighth inning. Just to show that that
wasn't all the club had in its ordnance
supply, Tierney followed with a home
run over the left field FENCE. That
was home run, triple and two sin
giles for the stubby second baseman.
The Giants hit Cooper harder in the
ninth inning than at any other time.
Rawlings opened with two-bagger, a
drive misjudged by Bigbee, Bancroft's
line single scored him. Groh landed
with all the vigor in his small but ac-
tive body and started a liner to left.
Traynor jumped as high as the moon
and stuck his arm up higher than
that. The ball stuck in the hand and
throw across to Grimm doubled Ban
croft. 1t was Traynor's only fielding
chance, but he made 1t vivid one. 1t
stopped a New York rally-stopped it
all in heap.
