New-York tribune., 1922-05-04

HuEh Mc(luli!an was the Boston
hurler who Gained the batting furorc
that the Giants displayed in recent
games. He held the league leaders to
six scattered hits and a lonely run.
When the schedule makers emerged
from their winter session yesterday 5
Gamc was not on the program. 1t was
merely cold "left-over' from the
earlier visit of the Braves, when icicles
hung on the window frames. With his
winning streak busted into several
quaint parts, John McGraw is now
satisfied that procrastination is not
only the thief of time, but the ruina-
Ton of ball games. The Giant leader
wanted to make sure of this particular
engagement, so he nominated his stel-
lar artist, Arthur Nehf, to subdue the
invaders before the FIVE thousand or
more interested spectators in the
stands
Dick Rudolph started the contest for
the Hubtown athletes. but after toss
ng the bali up very successfully in the
first inning ne informed Fred Mitchell
that his ancient and overboiled soup
bone was in no condition to hold back
the malicious and threatening Giants
for the next eighC innings.
McQuilan Shows Home Folks
That gave Master McQuillan. from
Long Island City, a chance to show
he home folks what first class pitch
iHg was. He held the worlds cham
pions in check, while Hank Gowdy and
Tony Boeckel made life miserable for
three Giant pitchers. Messrs. Nchf,
Virgil Barnes and Shea
Boeckel made it field day at the
expense of the Giant trio by clOuting
out Il home run. double and two
singles in five times up, while Hank
Gowdy turned in perfect average,
With four singles in as many turns at
hat. Walter Holkc did very well for
himself during the melee, boosting his
batting average with three singles i'm
his four legal attempts. As the total
hits for the Mitchell tribe amounted
to only thirteen safe blows, it can be
seen that the hitting by the rest of
the team was hardly visible to the
naked eye. 1t consisted in a single by
Powell and another By McQujllan.
The fifth inning was the large eX-
pansiyc session during which Arthur
Nehf was blasted off the mound. If
the chunky little portsider needs any
" hile it might be stated that both
George Kelly and Dave Bancroft played
q great game for Boston during this
lurid inning. Two errors by the dash
ing captain and tWo-run wild throw
by Long George had more than little
10 do with the shock that overwhelmed
Little Arthur Hanky Gowdy singled
to start the merry proceedings. and
when the boys had batted around to
him he singled again for good luck.
Bancroft Boots Couple
In the mean while Powell inserted
lis lone hit of the game, Bancroft
daintily booted a grounder from kopf,
Kelly throw Wild to Earl Smith, while
two runs danced over the pan; BOeckel
doubled, Banne fooled Barbare's
crounder and Holke singled. Time out
for breath while young Virgil Barnes
saunterod in from center field to ne
erected by a single from the bat OF
McQuillan. When the casualties were
counted the tally sheet showed seven
luns, three errors, five hits and a re
treating left handed pitcher.
The Braves added another in the
seventh on singles by the irrepressi-
b. rs. Boeckel and Gowdy, and still an
cher tally was marked up when
Hoeckol welcomed Pat Shea to the
mound in the ninth with a joyous cIout
nigh UP and far away in the left field
beachers. The lone Giant tally came
N the sixth on a single by Rawlings,
a compound error by Larry kopf and
q triple nv HPinle GrOh.
