SENTELLE PULLS WATCH
BY DANIEL.

BY DANIEL.
Feuds. like poor relatives and mumps
in boarding school, are irrepressible.
Sometimes they are as funny as Cen
tral American revolution and just as
harmless. Take that fine old imbroglio
between John McGraw and Paul SEN
telle, the National League umpire, for
example. 1t may tickle your sensi-
bilities. Born some ten years ago
down in Galveston, where the Mexican
was manager of scrappy tendencies,
the feud broke out afresh into opera
bouffe at the Polo Grounds yesterday
and provided pleasant, cachinnatory
climax to the fourth straight triumph
of the Giants over the Reds. The score
was to s.
Thrice in three minutes did Sentelle
pull dollar watch on the Giants. Both
the act and, the timeriece were great
curiosities. Somebody ought to tip Paul
off that umpires no longer draw their
chronometers in the big show. Thrice
within three minutes did Sentelle chase

seven thousand roarei in the stands and
McGraw enjoyed rcllicking time In
the dugout.
The fun started after the Giants had
scored their last run In the eighth In
ming. George Kely's double to left and
Casey Stengel's single into the same
sector put the tally across and then
Earl Smith popped 20 Bohne. Up came
Art Nehf. and Barry Mccormick called
what looked like a had strike. Art
glared at Barry and dared him produce
another decision as bad.
Barry Accepts the Challenge.
Barry accepted the challenge and
came through with 4 second strike"
which brought the wrath and derision
OF everybody except the Reds Cozey
Dolan, coaching off first. said few
things soto voce In so far as Mccormick
was concerned, but plainly audible to
Sentellc in the immediate vicinity. !

game. "Say. Mac Dolan is not in the

hand-and mouth-in the argument.

Ralph Finally Young took the lines
and the game was 'ushed to its demise
There was much laughter
MeuseI Again the STAR.
It was a rollicking contest in which
Irish Meusel hitting hero OF the day be-
fore. once more took most OF the clout-
ing laurels. Irish. who had enjoyed
run in with Sentelle on Sunday. wrought
havoc with the Reds with double which
drove in two runs and led to two more
in the third, and a single which crashed
in another brace of tallies In the fifth.
Irish also stole home In that Interesting
fourth. which showed the New Yorks to
remarkable advantage and disorganized
the Rhineland defense fearfully.
The Redlegs fought their battle uphill
with courage and no mean show Of pep
per. but they could not get to Nehf as
often as the rampant Giants got to
Johnny Couch. and they did not come
anywhere near the locals in nerve and
style. The Cincinnatis did their scoring
in an elementary fashion. Their first
two tallies. In the fourth, were crashed
over by Hargrave's home run into the
left field bleachers. Their three runs
in the sixth came through persistent
hitting attack which netted four safe
blows.
But the Giants scored not alone with
brute force but with pretty subt1ety-
inside baseball--speed, the double steal
and the squeeze. 1t was with no great
compunction that the New Yorks mall
treated Couch. for Johnny was one Of
the three Red fingers who beat the Nc
Grawmen on their recent visit to the
Rhineland. AS for Nehf. he, too. had a
score TO settle. He was little wild. and
in the sixth he became very unsteady.
But when he faced the urgent need OF
tightening up he did so brilliantly. He
held the Reds hitless for three innings.
Outside of their scoring sessions the in
ternationals got only two drives--one in
the fifth, another in the seventh.
Doubles with Bnses Full.
The Giants winning lead in the third
came with two out. After Smith had
flied to Burns Nehf singled to left Ban
croft hit to left. Frisch forced Nehf at
third and then Couch hit Groh with a
pitched ball, filing the blooming bags.
Meusel doubled to left. scoring both Ban
ME and Frank. Groh reached third.
Then McGraw ordered the squeeze.
Young bunted neatly to the pitcher and
while Ross reached first in safety Groh
scored. Having unsettled the Reds Nc
Graw took advantage Of the situation
and put on a double steal. which worked
70 perfection. Irish scoring. Then Young
added insult to injury and stole third.
Kelly left him there. The score:
