PITTSBURGH, Aug. 1.-THE Giants
extracted themselves from the justly
celebrated smoke here to-day, humid
but happy as they piled on to the
! rattlers Chicago bound for another one
of those very frequent crucial series.
They took the third game from the
Pirates by 6 to 3, which gives them the
series. The Giant attack was led by
none other than Casey Stengel, whose
catch saved the game of the previous
! day.
! Casey got two three baggers, scored
one OF the runs in person and drove In
two others. Casey was getting himself
little sweet revenge on bloodthirsty
Barney, the cruel Corsair, who leads
the Pirates and pays their salaries. 1t
will be recalled that once Casey was a
member of the local contingent. bur
was made to walk the plank by blood
thirsty Barney himself. Nearly every
club in the National League has made
Casey Stengel walk the plank at some
time or other.
As Casey smacked his second three
oasger or the afternoon. putting large
dent in the ball game. one of Barney
Dreyfus's 1900 customers piped up with
why did the Pirates ever release Casey
stengelT This was In the nature of an
awkward question at that particular
moment. Mr.. Dreyfus only looked a bit
wistful
Hug i 'Quillan, the pitcher who came
10 the Giants through the kindness of
G Washington Grant of the Braves and
check which was written in the fine
Italian hand of Charles A. Stoneham
not only started the game, but this time
he finished it. Two or three times 1t
looked as though he would wilt in the
broiling sun here, and Claude Jonnard,
the pail bearer for the Giants, was sent
to the bull pen to warm up. 1t seemed
needless for anybody to go through any
motions to produce extra heat. The
| Thermometers We're bubbling merrily all
afternoon In the smoke.
Frisch Ruins a Hit.
| Frank Frisch. the jumping frog of
Fordham. deserves any cita ton that can
be handed out for one play he made
IN the fifth inning. There were couple
Of Corsairs on the corners and Rabbit
Maranville at bat. The Rabbit smacked
one that seemed to be travelling on
line to right field for considerable
number of bases. Frisch made a leap
and speared the ball II bounced off his
glove into the air and then settled into
the leather Instantly Frisch shot 1t to
first completing a double play that
blocked the Pirates. The customers were
stunned by the swiftness of 1t.
The Pirates got their first run In the
opening inning, or rather Max Carey
got ona all by himself He drove the
ball to the right field wall past Young
for home run. One of the local news
papers Is distributing hundred dollar
bills TO the local athletes who knock
homers. and the boys are trying hard
to accumulate plenty of them.
The Giants had the score tied I'm the
| fourth, Frisch singled to right and took
third when Irish Meusel cracked a safe
one to center Young lifted sacrifice
| fly to center and the jumping frog OF
Fordham came dashing home.
The Pirates took the lead again in
their half of the fourth. Bigbee forced
Carey and got TO third on a smash by
Reb Russell Tierney shot one down to
Frisch. who made a fine stop. and Big
bee scored as he was tossing Tierney
| out.
The Giants were right hack In the
fifth when Casey Stengel opened the
inning with his first three bagger of the
afternoon. 1t shot along the right field
line and rolled TO the fence. Wi.h
Smith out Hugh McQuillan singled tC
center scoring Stengel Bancroft slashet
a two bagger to left and McQuillar
scored. John Morrison. who started
for the Corsairs. was yanked in the
