Tie White SoX, guided by those two
ancient signs of the Zodiac, Evers the
Crab and Gleason the Scorpion. spillei
the Giants at the Polo Grounds yes
terday by the score of 3 to ?. The Soy
gathered all of their runs in the
seventh inning from Padriac SHEA os
Holyoke, Mass. Padriac relieved Jess
Barnes in the sixth and was nudged
in the chin by an accumulation OF
disaster in the next The customers
numbered about 10000.
Ralph SINNERS, who is making sort
OF unofficial debut with the world
champions. passed a very pleasant after
noon. Not only did he cavort in spectac-
ular fashion through the nicely ironed
grass OF center field, but he did good
afternoons work with the bat He spat-
tered the ball twice against the right
q field way, once for a triple and once for
q double.
tA This performance was all the more
satisfactory because at his first time UP
the debutante was bit nervous, and
was called out on strikes. There was a
rustling as of wild raspberry wreaths
being made up to hang upon his brow
for the early or spring variety OF base
ball critic is saturated with acid. but
those two emphatic socks transformed
sShinners into conquering hero.
There was some melodramatic field
ing in the vicinity of third base. Heinie
der Groh, who escaped from Cincinnati
by crossing the Ohio River on the ice
after the Giants had fixed the escape
with fha Ri1rOOnlpiS-
ter of the Rhinelands, performed
double play unassisted. Gen. Mcclellan
4 OF the White Sox, not to be outdone,
made a circus catch with his unpro-
tected meat hook. On the whole the
pastme as 1t was performed yesterday
I did not hurt the eyes.
The troubles of Padriac came swiftly
when the Giants were holding a one run
lead. FallS drew base on balls. Sheely
polcd a sharp one 10 right. Then Schalk
raped one right to where Heinie der
Groh was not. Heinie got one finger
on the pill, but was twisted into the
shape OF a worDa on home made still.
and consequently could not get the ball
to first ahead of the Sox catcher. This
filed the cushions with Sox and Shea
with gloom.
wilkinson, who had been quite stingy
with hits for the Giants. decided that
this was the spot for him to win his
own ball game. He drove most en-
phatic single to center and Falk anc
Shea1U scored.
Jo.inson rolled a slow bunt down to-
ward third. Snyder followed it and
watched for 1t to roll foul 1t refused
to roll foul. and after addressing 1t in
language expressive of the perversity
OF a rolling baseball, Snyder picked II
up. BY that time Johnson was on first,
credited with safe hit.
1t looked like lot OF runs, but Heinie
der Groh threw himself into the breach.
Mcclellan, the Sox third baseman,
raped a hard one at the Cincinnati
1efugec. Heinie made a leap into the
air and speared the pill. Then he made
a beautiful slide for third and caught
|Schalk off the bag, completing what
would pass in these parts for very
snappy double play. After that Padriac
breathed little less loosely. Edward
Collins scored Wilkinson with single
to center.
Giants Score In Fifth.
re The Giants scored their first run in
the NTH, with two out. It was Ralph
SINNERS, one of John McGraw's babies,
who brought in the run almost entirely
BY himself While the hard boiled early
customers were about deciding that he
could not hit SINNERS plastered the ball
against the right field wall with such
emphasis that 1t did a number of back
Hips. While the ball was going through
its PAGES, hotly pursued by the right
4 1elder. SINNERS was tearing around the
hags like young gazelle In hurry
40 get somewhere. The lad has speed
and he stretched the wallop nicely into
a three Dagger. He scored minute
later when Johnson fumbled a poke by
Snyder.
The other run for the Giants came in
the eighth. Bancroft poled long hit TO
left center and got TO third when Cum
ningham. who pinched for Rawlings,
was thrown out by Collins. Groh lifted
a short fiy, but IL was enough for the
Beauty to skid in across the pan.
Johnny Evers showed great presence
OF mind in being the first TO break new
rule or the Sox might have been on their
way toward having a run as early as
the ffth. Wilkinson. who got on by
forcing Schalk, started to move when
johnson drove a long hit TO right field.
The sox pitcher was going like an ele-
phant under full steam. He was round
ing third when Johnny Evers. who. was
on grabbing expedition in that vlcin-
ity. saw the ball coming.
Hainie dor Groh was ready to grasp
the nil In his prehensile talons and slap
: n on the runner. Evcrs tackled Wilhin-
son and threw him back on the bag. In
the old days this was proper proceed
ing for a coach, but II Is against the
current statutes as revised and amend
ed. The penalty was an out for Wilkin-
son. There was no penalty for Evers,
though both umpires looked as though
they would like TO sentence him to some-
thing on general principles for auld lang
syne as II were. In those days. accord
4 ing to the little Trojan, the jumps used
to assume that John was guilty of some
thing the moment no got into the park.
