Dave Bancroft made tt Rrne sort OF
error he did in the exfra !r aing of the
Same with the Cubs last ..anday, poor
throw to the plate WI the bases
filled, and started the Refs on the way
to rush Of runs. The New 7 ork de-
tense went to smash then aid the pro-
digious hitting Of Kelly. which kept
the Giants in the contest Ser nine inn
inss, became useless as came winner,
but rich in interest for the archives.
While Long George. the best first
baseman in the National League and
with no superior in either league, was
in the ohlong, knees dipped for action,
the Giants had a chance against the
pitching Of Eppa Rixey, and, whlch
helped the Reds more, the splendid
support Rixey received. Nobody has
seen better work than ths Red outaed
Duncan, Burns and Hurper-did for
Rixey; or, If so. not ofteI. They were
fast and sure and OF illinltable range
in closely fought and keen, engaging
contest.
But as these talented gentlemen Of
the Cincinnati outfeld couldn't scale
fences, three hits got away from them.
In the sixth inning Nenf pounded
home run off Rixey into the lower
grandstand. this as ons left-hander to
another The tally thus suddenly and
beatifcaIly acquired reduced the Reds
lead TO one run.
Longer Than Long George
The Kelly-made home runs were
longer than Long George himself or
Long Eppa himself. Kelly fips
wicked quirt. In the seventh inning
he hit q home run into the right field
Observation-Disclosures mind you, not
grandstand-near the right-hand cor
ner and over the 'r" in cigarettes"
This hit left the Reds with L one-run
lead.
In the ninth inning Kelly--no BAN
bino Of Bust or Sultan Of Swat, but IN
his modest way a savage slugger-shot
home run out Of the grounds over
tie left field fence, this, by way Of
repetition, as one long gentleman to
another. His second home run tied
the score.
But other times the Giants pined
In pinches. From the sixth inning to
she ninth inclusive they made nine hits
off Rixey, but distilled only three runs
therefrom. They missed cut in pinches,
largely through the blighting con-
nivance of the Cincinnati support, sup
port luminous as the Big Dipper on
starlit night, and which never de-
parted an iota, a scintilla or milli-
saetre from the highest standard of
speed, precision and steadiness. The
Irish, the Dutch, the Cubans, the sons
Of sunny It'-had a right nifty day.
Nehf pitched adequately. Poor field
!ng figured in two of the runs off of
BIN. Ryan, brought in after pinch
aitter had batted for Nehf. pitched all
9ight, too, until his support begged
Gown Hargrave whirled a home run
Into the left field seats in the fifth
ginning. There was no getting away
Pom that run, but Bancroft started
:Snething damaging when he fumbled
20 Burns in the sixth.
:. Bancroft played the ball with one
hand, the bound may be to blame,
though it didn't look like a hard
chance. Daubert singled to left, Dun
can singled to short. and with the bases
filled, Harper hit Nehf and forced
Burns at the plate. Daubert scored
while Groh was throwing out Fonseca,
good play by Heinie.
George Burns Steals Second.
With two out in the seventh, Nehf
passed Burns, and George stole second,
aided by a poor throw by Snyder
Daubert delivered timely, or untimely
single, and brought in George, old pal.
Harper and Fonseca hit Ryan safely
in the tenth, and Hargrave hunted
Ryan then to third. but Harper beat
the throw. Bases filled, nobody out
Pinelli bounded high one to Bancroft
Banny was playing in, and his throw
was too fast and hurried for safety
1t hit in front of Smith, who had no
chance to handle it. 1t shot away from
there and two men scored.
When Roush flied close in to Gun
bingham, the latter's relay to Ryan
had Neale nipped off third, but Groh
let loose Of Ryan's throw, and Greasy
lived again. He scored on Rixeys fly
TO Meusel. Burns's single scored Pin
ELI. None Of these runs was earned
Meusel opened with a hit in the sec
ond, Bancroft made one in the sixth
with nobody out, as did Cunningham in
the ninth, but Rixey was strong in
| these pinches. Cunningham tried to
score from third on Rawlingss fly to
Burns. Georges throw was a beauty
and Bill was hlotted ont
