While the distance that separates the
Giants from the lead is no wider than
the space by which the Brooklyn Bridge
is askew the situation Is something to
brood over. II the New York Chamber

over the baseball situation OF the city
as the st. Louis Chamber OF Commerce
is over the standings of the Cards and
the Browns there would have been
special meeting last night and resolu-
tions passed to the effect that somebody
ought TO do something about 1t.
Pirates Something TO Think About.
The situation has some slight elements
of alarm. While the Giants can handle
the Cardinals as roughly as necessary
they are not going to have any soft
games with the Pirates and the Reds
These two teams especially the Pirates,
will be knocking somebody silly as the
season progresses. 1t may be the Cards
and 1t may be the Giants, unless the
Giants, shifting the world series money
as the summer wanes, snap out of what
ever 1t is they happen to be in at the
current writing.
Sufficient, however. for the day is the
evil thereof, and there was plenty of 1t.
particularly in the matter of fielding.
The Reds got their first run in the
second inning with one out. Fonseca

then threw to Long George Kelly. The
ball went high over the head of Long
George, and when any one can throw
bcll over the head Of Long George
you will realize that 1t certainly has afti-
tude. Fonseca dashed all the way
around for the run and Pinelli reached
second.
Kelly AssunSes the Customers.
The trifle Of dependency which had
begun to settle in the stands was lifted
quickly In the Giant half Of the same
inning by none other than Long George
Kelly. nephew OF Bill Lange. Long
George slapped a straight one sent up
by Johnny Couch right into the left
field beachers for home run. The
score was tied and hope restored.
In the third inning something hap
pcned that warned the customers that
the Giants were not at their best With

one of the oldest residents of Flatbush.
got base on balls After Duncan had
hoisted himself out Harper made a clean
single to center, which put Jake on third.
At this point Pat Moran, manager Of
the Reds. showed from his actions that
he was about to resort to some sinister
form OF strategy. The Red manager
turned his back to the stands and, being
twice as wide in this position as when in
profile, concealed a large sector Of the
infield. When he wishes to give impor-
tant signals he is wont to blanket the
view of the opposing team and customers
In this fashion.
Under the curtain provided by his
own breadth of beam Patrick made
some mystic signals. Instantly Harper
dashed toward second while Jake Dau-
bert got under way for the plate. The
return to the platter was out OF line
and Jake slid in with the second run OF
the afternoon.

Burns Scores Winning Run.
George Burns. who used to work for
the Giants. brought the third run across.
George got base on balls. He was

throw slipped by Frisch. Then Harper

Burns scored.
In the Giant half of the same innine
