New-York tribune., 1922-08-10

day, and the IincfnnaIi heuS agaAi
fielding the Giants, outtighting then
game at the bat, beat the Giants this
champions back into second place.
The Cincinnati infcId eagerly and
skilfully, even gloating, consumed
everything in the batted ball line the
Giants could pour into their sparse but
agile ranks. Which is one reason why
the Giants made only two runs from
twelve hits. On the other hand, the
Reds took advantage of every defect in
the New York defense and made five
hits deliver three runs.
1t was as simple as that, but beyond
such mechanical differences as existed
in the playing of the two sides was
seeming tendency by the Giants to easy
discouragement--d on their luck
business, a "can you beat that for a
tough break" attitude. Truth to tell,
the Giants did run into the scowls and
not the favors of fortune; but the
game was close and it wouldn't have
taken much TO swing it their way. The
Reds, too, were finding it hard to score,
and their lead always was meager The
Reds, though, were pert, sassy and con-
fdent, as one who purposes making
things come his way.

The pitching of Hugh McQuillan was
good, uniformly so. This is the sec
ond defeat in two days for the Giants
in behind pitching, plenty good enough
to win. Not once did the Red raiders
who collected only five hits get two in
one inning. Inaccurate throwing on
double steal made one run possible.
A poor throw by Bancroft counted in
another Rhenish run, and the third
was built around the very excellent
base running of George Burns. Ban
crofts throwing has been wide of the
mark of late. Cur Giants arms need
some readjustment TO cooperative tar
gets, and our Giants grasp of enemy
goings-on needs touch of nimble pol
ish. These Buckeye cosmopolites, with
their slick city ways, are out-guessing
our ailing boys.
Fonseca raped McQuillan for hit
with one out in the second inning.
That was all right, for he never would
have scored, not in a. thousand years
or even in a 'coon's age, if Bancroft,
who has been suffering from passing
attack of all-thumb tits, hadn't seized
Pinelli's grounder by the coat sleeve, or
some insecure place, and thrown it low
past Kelly. That's how come Fonseca
scored.
Kelly evened up for that in the New
York half. He rode ur-bagger into
the left field stand. George is home
running with ardor and frequency this
week. The Giants made two more hits
in that inning, but after two were out,
and they never did get the upper hand
of John Couch, who, with men on bases,
kept pace in an efficient way with his
nobby support.

double plays and things. They did that
in the third inning and in the fourth.
The Reds didn't need more than hit
to score. They needed only one in the
second one in the third and one in the
fifth. Daubertfwalked, with one out, in
the third. and helped by Harper's hit,

Bancroft was low. Bancroft had ito
straighten up for his throw home. His
in getting in position for a throw he
would hardly have caught as fast
man as Daubert.
Burns outwitted Young in the fifth.
George drew four and when Pep came
in and took Daubert's fly he appar-
emily had no more interest in it than
any other spectator. Young was off
guard and George broke for second
He took the infelders off their guard,
too, and Frisch, making the best of it
when he woke up, moved quickly, but
the surprised Young. Harper's single
scored Burns, the willy wayfarer.
Frisch, Meusel and Young hit safely
in succession in the fifth, and several
runs were promised One did come in
when Kelly grounded to Pinelli, but
Pinelli skipped to the bag and touched
it for force of Meusel, and Stengel
flied out and ended the inning.
The seventh and its vicissitudes, took
the heart out of the Giants. Groh
opened with single. Frisch drew
four balls. Meusel, who had been lac
ing the ball every time, laced this one,
but lined it to Caveney, and that mar
plot, carried on to second by momen-
tun, tagged Groh in a double play by
stepping on that base.
The postponement of Monday with
the Reds will be played off on Septem-
Der 10.
A kick Of ample proportions arose in
the fourth inning. McQuillan bunted
and Wingo, trying to force Smith at
second, threw poorly. Jennings and
Bancroft and Dolan and others roared
because Rigler called the bunt foul
and called McQuillan back. jennings
lost no chance thereafter to tell Rgler
how poor a decision it was.
Third time within month the Giants
have slipped back to second place.
Caveney was within an eyelash of
triple play in the seventh inning on
catching Meusel's liner. Only Frischs
quickness in diving back to first base
prevented.
The present home stand of the
Giants has been a poor one. Against
the Western foe they've won seven
games and lost nine. There's only one
more to play, so they can't get an even
break.
