Giants With Sepen Hits
Win over Cubs Fifteen
McGraw Uses Five Pitchers

BY DANIEL.

Speaking OF lopsided, cross-eyed,
queer looking ball games-contests for
what the fancy calls "the book
there's that free for all in which the
Giants took another fall out OF the
Cubs at the Polo Grounds yesterday
afternoon by to 8. Seven hits beat
fifteen. with only one extra base drive
Ia douhle-on each side. and to make
it all the more peculiar. two Of the
Chicago tallies lame In on wild
pitches. Beat that il you can in the
records for several seasons and win
the chunk OF genuine anthracite which
is on exhibition all this week in Keliy's
coal yard.
The Giants seem to have taken quite
a fancy to showing the odd run among
thirteen. Twice they won by 10
against the Braves on Monday and yes
terday they braved the thirteen jinx for
the third time in week. Any ball club
which can keep water in sieve the
way the New Yorks have been holding
II since their return from the West Is
not to be frightened by mere hoodoo.
While the Giants had to bow to the
Cubs In the number of hits they showed
q margin Of one in the quantity of their
pitchers. John J. McGraw. fresh and
clipper after short layoff with his
act. once more put on his great juggling
stunt. While giving signals with his
right John j. tossed five singers with
his left and came through the gruelling
ordeal without slip. John ]. and the
assembled villagers had their anxious
moments, but the Cubs were neither
smart enough nor fast enough to make
the most of their opportunities.
Great Pitching by Ryan.
On no fewer than five occasions were
the Cubs stopped by remarkable fling
ing. Yes, we said it--remarkable fling
ing--in spite of the fact that McGraw
had to juggle his five. Seven strikeouts
were scored by New York pitchers and
most of these came at critical stages.
Five strikeouts went to the credit of
Bill Ryan. who relieved the harassed
HuShie McQuillan in the third with tho
bases full and nobody out. McQuillan
wild pitched one run into the score and
Ryan presented another tally to the
Cubs in a similar way. But Rosy famed
both Callaghan and o'Farrell. mighty
dangerous hitters, and got rid of Kel-
leher by the air route to center. Ryan
got official credit for the victory.
1t wasn't so much because of poor
pitching that McGraw put on his Jug
Cling act. Ryan might have gone the
route. He had world OF stuff and held
the Chicagos at his mercy. But in the
fifth. with the bases full and only one
out, McGraw decided to let Earl Smith
bat for Ryan. il was a master move
Smith singled TO right and drove In the
two runs which ultimately proved the
barrier between the victorious New
Yorks and the beaten Cubs. Earl's
slam shared honors with Bancroft's
double and Stengel's single OF the Sec
ond. each Of which drove in two runs
Virgil Barnes. who followed Ryan,
faced only three men. and was relieved
after he had suffered leg injury through
being socked by Kelehers single. Jack
Scott, who came next. was not so good.
After the Cubs had greeted him with two
singles in the seventh-two hits which
blossomed into runs--McGraw wisely
sounded the recall for the North Caro-
lima soupbone. and mid wild huzzahs
trotted out Claude Jonnard, the official
undertaken.
Jonnard Master fn Pinches.
Jonnard's appearance made 1t per-
fectly legal game and seemed TO shoot
iron into the confidence of his supporting
cast. Jonnard reached his peak in the
eighth, when. with two out and the
bases full. he forced Barber to roll
weakly to Frisch. In the seventh, with
men on first and second and none out
Jonnard hurled masterful ball against
Kelleher. O'Farrell and Hack Miller,
