CINCINNATI, Ohios Aug. 24.-Wlth six
victories out OF eight ball games the
Giants are leaving here tonight for St.
Louis in highly cheerful state OF mind.
They took the second game of this only
mildly crucial series here to-day by the
score of 2 to /. Jess Barnes. whose soup
bone has not been what 1t should have
been this season. pitched against Senior
Luque. the Cuban, and drove In the win
ming run with his own bat.
For while 1t looked as though the
score might be tied in the ninth If 1t
had been OH Smith. who conducted the
winning run across the plate In the
seventh inning. would have requested
time out to wiring out his garments. Oil
Is the most profuse athlete in the ma
tional pastime in the matter of perspira-
tion, and tho day was highly conducive
to perspiration.
The showing of Jess Barnes almost
makes the commander in chief of the
expeditionary forces of the Giants an
optimist again. 1t looks now as though
he m!gth be of considerable use in the
more crucial series that are to come, for
the Giants look upon the remainder OF
tho season as just being, one crucial
series after another,

populace, having been busy with the
lunches all through the ball game. by
this time was filled with food and hope.
But Pinelli struck out.
The Giants drew their steel helmets
before leaving here as some slight pro-
lection against the pop bottles of st.
Louis, where the three days war opens
tomorrow.

some one of the performances made by
Frisch himself that frankie gave the
Pacific coaster a reproachful look as
though accusing him OF stealing his
stuff.
Rinal Do PoalinelIi, the italian men,
ber of the team of all nations, got him
self triple when Ross Young lost his
high one in the second inning. Young
was playing the local sun field without
the smoked blinkers. He was blinded by
the heat haze, but there were two out
when this happened and Cayeney oblig-
ingiy made the third.
In the fourth inning the lunch of the
customers Of the good burgomelster,
August Hermann, was somewhat rude
ly interrupted when Umpire Quigley ex-
PEELED Greasy Neale from the grounds
with magnificent gesture and some app
