Giants Do Some Scoring

aren't going to win the pennant.
there's lots that is green at the Polo
Grounds this year
Rawlings and Groh followed with
singles, Kelly's fly scored Rawlings and
SINNERS single scored Groh Barnes
singled in tho second, Bancroft walked
Rawlings sacrificed and Groh's double
scored Barnes and Bancroft Young
bunted to Schmandt. He was the first
batter to face Smith, who relieved the
hectored Mamaux. Groh kept coming.
He saw that Smith, who was covering
first, had his back turned, and as he
didn't slackcn pace he beat the throw
to the plate
Smith was giving the Giants their
first taste of left hand underhand.
The big Brooklyn man has taken up
that style of pitching this year and is
the first submarine southpaw since the
stone age. He didn't dig up much to
bother the Giants. The champions
made two runs in the fourth on three
hits Barnes singled, Rawlings
doubled. Groh singled. Kelly singled
in the seventh, SINNERS doubled,
Snyder poled high into the left field
loft.

drives to that domain.
sherrod Smith did not get as low
with mis- underhand ball as Carl Mays
does. 1t was more of side arm pitch
toward the end of the game.
The acrobatic High speared a
bounder from Groh with one hand ard

second base with his throw.
