wise crack made by the late Mr.
Shakespeare about not putting the
quality Of mercy through the strainer,
forgave Oil Smith on Wednesday.
Yesterday at the Polo Grounds Oil re-
paid his employer by smashing home
run into the right field stands. scoring
three runs and putting the Giants
back into the game after they seemed
through for the afternoon. The Giants
eventually won over the Cubs by IL
to5.
Not so long ago John J. McGraw
told Oil never to darken the doors of
the dugout again and vowed that he
never would tie a napkin around his
neck again to sit at Giant table.
But he recalled the story Of the parent
who ran out to meet the prodigal to
see II he had anything on his hip and
he resolved to forgive Oil, especially
as Oil was regarded as the best Of the
catchers anyhow.
KflIefer Luckfest Cub.
The humidity has been hard on both
players and umpires. Mr.. Quigley was
forced during the pastime yesterday to
walk over to the dugout of the.SGiants
and administer a reproof with his index
finger Later Will Killefer raised a
squawk for the altitude record and was
evicted by Mr.. Quigley. 1t is a ques-
ton as to whether this was a punish
ment or a personal favor for, having
been evicted. Mr.. Killefer was not COM
PEELED to watch his Cubs play baseball.
The Cubs f1oundered across with four
runs in their half of the second and the
customers who were simmering in the
stands began to fear the worst. Grimes
led with a base on balls. Barber shot
one at Barnes and it looked like the
start of a double play. but the pill
skidded from the mitt of the pitcher and
went for hit.
This brought up Hack Miller, who
used to roll rocks down the slope of
Telegraph Hill, San Francisco. with
Ping Bodie. Miller is replica OF Ping
in many ways. He singled to right and
did nose dive after rounding first, but
the blow brought Grimes home and Mil
Ter eventually dsentangled his feet.
Terry raped: one to Groll, and Bar
Ter was finally nicked at the plate. In
the meantime the other Cub base run
ners were scampering all up and down
the paths. holly pursued and much an
noyed by the ball, which was being
passed from Giant infielder TO infielder
with much haste. But tho antics of
Miller and his elephartine stride seemed
to confuse the inheIders. The chase
ended with Miller safe on third and
Terry safe on second. Miller pulled the
unexpected and the impossible so rap
idly that he fooled them all.
Exit Jess Barness
Hartnett. the Cubs catcher, singled to
left. and both Miller and Terry scored.
With Aldridge out, Statz singled to
right and Hartnett scored. Hollocher
singled to left and stole second, which
convinced the Giant board of strategy
that while Jess Barnes could pitch some
more he should not do It that after
noon. Causey the Red took UP the pill
that Jess threw down.
The Giants accumulated one run in
the third. "Ol" Smith singled and adj
vanced on Causey's sacrifice. Frisch's
out sent him to third, and he scored
when Hollocher fumbled poke by Groh.
which seemed a roundabout way to get
one lone run.
The Giants showed signs OF returning
animation in the sixth. Heinie der
Groh singled to right Irish Meusel sin
gled to left Young shot one along the
first base line into right. Umpire Quig-
lev called II fair, and Bill Killefer called
ouigley everything but that. 1t went
for a two Dagger, and Killefer went for

with Kelly and Stengel out. "Oil" Smith.
the prodigal came to bat and sent line
drive right in among the customers in
the right stand which put the Giants n
run ahead.
In the seventh inning FIeinie Krug
drove a home run into the left field
stands. which put things back almost
as they were in the beginning. But the
Giant drive was on in earnest in their
half. Bancroft hit n triple to right and
Hack Miller looked very much like Ping
Bodie, almost like twin brother. as he
tried to field 1t. Frisch singled through
the box scoring Bancroft, which caused
| the Cubs to yank Aldridge and substi-
tute Steulands. who is affectionately
| known to his mates as "Stew" or "Gou-
lash"
The parade continued Groh got a base
on balls. Meusel doubled scoring Frisch
Young singled to center scoring Groh
and Meusel while Young moved on to
second. With Kelly out Stengel got a
base on balls and stole second. Smith

shot for the platter and made it.
Casey Stengel seeing that there was
considerable confusion In the cages OF
the Cubs kept coming and followed
Young across the dish. Krug tried to
head him of by making the throw to
Mr.. Goulssh Steulands. but Goulash
was not there when the ball came. con-
