Adolfo Luque Pitches Some
Grand Ball, but Errors and
Homer Beat Him.
sH' Is SILENT IN BOHNE
Afternoon at Polo Grounds
Enlivened by Debates Be-
tween Players and Umpire.
BY w. o. McGEEHAN.

The hard luck of Adolfo Luque,
Cuban pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds,
and a home run by Casey Stengel the
homeless old man of baseball yester-
day gave TIE Giants ball game to
which they were hardly entitled.
Though the Giants were able to get
only three hits outside the infield dur
ing the afternoon the Reds let one run
come in on errors and Casey Stengel
did the rest for final score Of to L.
The hard luck of Luaue is proverbial
in his native Isle of Cuba. 1t Is said
that whenever there is revolution in
that restless republic the Luques are
always out OF machetes. Then again
Luque's hard luck followed him to the
United States of America. With six
teen big league clubs to get into poor
little Adolfo has to go TO Cincinnati.
Yesterday pitching his best, Adolfo
starts the Giants toward scoring with
an error, and Bohne (the H being silently
commits the other.
Casey Stengel. whose home run won
the game for the Giants. has been left
baseball clubs since 1918. Squire l3b-
belts Of Flatbush stuffed him into the
vestibule Of Barney Dreyfuss in 1917.
Barney wrapped him up in old news
papers. removing all marks of identif-
cation. and dropping him upon the door.

Cold and Abandoned.

Giant dugout one day saw bundle and
examining 1t found it to be Casey Stengel
once more abandoned and turned out
into the cold world. McGraw took him
In and gave him one of the corners of
tho bench to park upon. Then things
went to pieces in the Giant outfield and
Casey was sent out to earn his keep.
Somebody said that McCiraw had him
around merely to listen to his funny
cracks. Certainly the crack that sent
the ball into the right field bleachers
with the winning run yesterday was
ph ssant tn hear.

II was hard to tell whether the National

humidity. Irish Meusel own brother OF

Bohne threw to Dsubert, putting Kelly

In the third inning Signor Rinaldo
= Paolinelli bounced hit over second. A
little while later he tried to steal second
but was thrown out. Thereupon Rinaldo
squawked couple OF cantos. but Sentell
could not translate and let him stay.
Up to the fifth inning Luque was
pitching the tightest kind of ball. Then
Young beat a hit to the infield by the
eyelash Of a mosquito. Kelly bounded
one to Luque, who made quick nervous
