afternoon Irwin S. Cobb, who has
ceased being pale and interesting in
valid. picked the Polo Grounds as a
nice place to convalesce in. 1t is feared
that he may suffer a relapse after hav-,
ing sat out yesterdays game. He wasq
flushed with returning health when its
started, but was looking rather puny
when the last exhausted Giant stag-'
gered across the plate.
They should play these sort of
games in cycles like the Shaw Plays

Observing Long George Kelly at this
moment painting across the home plate,
closely followed by three other Giants.
Mr.. Cobb further observed: And there

The Giants got eleven runs in the
first inning and Wilbert Robinson had
/ pitchers walking into the box and out

than there were in that inning yester-,
day afternoon.

than the gent from Borneo. whose pro-
fession was being wild Gordinier came
in and lasted just little longer; Bar
ney Shriver finished the inning after a

in the inning. Long George Kelly, who
had been around once. ended the drive,
by striking out through sheer exhaust
tion. Circumnavigating the sacks had
made him dizzy.

baseball was considerably like cricket
