New-York tribune., 1922-09-17

at the Polo GROUNDS yesterday Wniit
same motions in Sleepytown, the cla
on the pcnnant pole in the senior n
to break even with a six-game lead,
to stay in the hunt.
With Jess Barnes breaking all pre-
cedcnts and going through nine COM
plete innings, the Polo Grounds ran
off with the first game by the score Of
s to 2. Barnes, the elder, was found
for ten hits, but when scoring time
came around for the Reds Jess was
anything but generous. "Pernicious
Pete" Donohue, the Red leg hurling
star, was the moundsman at whose ex-
pense the Giants pounded out vic
tory in the first game, to the rapturous
applause of over 10000 fans. Donohue
yielded eight hits and five runs before
Gillespie entered the game in the sew
enth in time to be punished for quar-
tet of hits and three more runs.
With the first game wrapped up and
laid away in the refrigerator, John
Joseph McfSraw decided to make it a
perfect day by pitching his recently
acquired and rather expensive Hub
town hurler, Hugh McQuillan, "Red
Mac was howling success, from q
Cincinnati point of view.
MCQulltan is laken OuS
Hughie was accustomed to pitching
at Braves Field, where two men and
boy are considered a fair crowd, and
the chanting thousands who were at
the Brush stadium TO applaud his eff
forts yesterday merely served to con-
fuse him. He was bruised, battered
and cast on the junk heap by the min
ions of Moran in the second inning,
and the Reds went on to win by s
to d.
Six runs, terrible total, were rung
up on the register in the fatal second
frame while the Redlegs ran riot
around the bases and sent soaring sin
giles to all points of the compass.
That was enough to settle the issue
right there as Adolfo Luque, the Gu
a quartet of runs throughout the CON
test. The dusky moundsmen is alleged
10 be the champion hard luck twirler
of the league, but yesterday he was
throwing from the center of horse
shoe all afternoon with his rubber
cushion si1-run lead to work on. The
Giants accounted for eleven hits, the
same total credited to the Reds but in
this second contest the worlds cham
pions had three errors to their dis
credit which helped McQuillan to slide
down hill.
However j. j. McGraw was satisfied
with the days work, especially when
the scoreboard informed the world at
large that Pittsburgh had been hum
bled in the second game at Phiadel-
phia. Another happy thought for the
evening hours was that Johnnie Rawl-
ings makes fine substitute for any
athlete in either league. Replacing
Heinie Groh in the Giant lineup
Johnnie treated himself to six hits and
tive runs in ten turns at bat, which is
fair job for q short man.
The scoring in the early pastime was
fttlngly started by an error on the
part of the Cincinnati defense society.
Sam Bohne booted Bancroft's grounder
and gave the fans a sample of what
was to follow. A hit by Frisch and an
inheld out scored run for the Giants,
and another was added in the second
on Kelly's home run to the upper right
field tier. Hits by Rawlings, Frisch
and Young sent the third New York
tally across On the third.
This same batting trio collaborated
again in the fifth further to discourage
Pete Donohue by tacking two more
tallies on to the Giant lead.
Reds Score in Sixth
Burns, Rousch and Fonseca touched
Jess Barnes for singles in the sixth
when the Reds got their sum total of
two counters for the whole game. This
brought the score 8 to 2 and the
Giants hammered John Gillespie, who
relieved Donohue for two more tallies
In the seventh on the fourth straight
hit for Frisch, double by Irish Meusel
and Snyder's single. The last run came
over in the eighth on triple by Raw
lngs and an infield out.
What reversal was the second
game The Giants supporting cast
crumbled up in the second inning just
when they should have rallied to the
defense of their suffering comrade,
letes batted all around the mulberry
bush and scored six runs on FIVE hits,
walk, sacrifice bunt and three err
rors by the Clan McGraw. Rosy Bill
Ryan heard the screams of pain emit
ted by Red Mac" and ran TO the res
cue. After Juvenile Jake Daubert had
singled to score to George Burns with
the sixth run Ryan succeeded in quell-
ing the riot.
Rawlings beat out hit in the fourth
and Frisch dropped home run just
over the wall inthe lower right field
stand, thus handing the Giants two
runs. walk to Pinelli and doubles
by Sam Bohne and Adolfo LuQue ac-
counted for pair of enemy tallies in
the sixth, where further scoring was
averted when the Fordham Flash
grabbed liner by George Burns and
doubled the dusky pitcher at second.
In their half of this session, with
Luque weakening, the Giants filled the
bases, with one out on singles, Raw
lings. Meusel and Young and force
out by Frisch, but the best the Polo
grounders could get was two small
runs, one on an infeld out and the
other on a single by Stengel. Davy
Robertson batted for Ryan in the
seventh and Jonnard was the third New
York hurler, thus making it perfectly
legal game. With the score standing
at s to Luque recovered his poise and
there the matter rested
