WAS kiioCkeu nurLtlng through empt
In this hectic session Bullet Joe was
brutaily assaulted by the Giant blud-
geons for quartet of hits. 1t came
like burst of fire from machine gun.
Popl pop! pop! pop! Four in row.
Bush was laid low in the dust and
borne gently from the field of carnage
His last word were deleted by the
censor.
But who can blame the Yankee pitch
ing ace and the leading finger of the
Ban Johnson organization? Ae was
linked before he started. Just as he
finished his warming-up process some
misguided individual came out with a
gaudy basket of flowers. There was the
bird who really placed the white lily in
the hands Of Sir Leslie Bush. Colonel
Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston sus-
poets that this was some deep-dyed
nachination of the cunning enemy, and
he furthermore says he was reliably in
formed that there was a note concealed
in the flowers to this effect: "We
buried your comrades last year Why
not you? Complete funeral in nine
innings, with two candles and one bell
ringer"
However, as aforesaid, the outcome
of the battle might have been expected,
since all statistics, Temperature read
opposite direction. Mark Twain un-
doubtedly knew something when he
said that there were three kinds of lies
lies, damned lies and statistics. The
burners of the midnight oil produced
eighteen gross tons of figures to prove
the following facts: That the Yankee
pitching staff was the strongest in the
world including Scandinavia;, that the
million dollar defense of the Giants
would excel the Yankee fielding by
.oo12346 points cubic centigram under
normal atmospheric pressure and at 72
degrees Fahrenheit, and that the STRAIT
egy of John Joseph McGraw would COM
pletely surround the tactical errors of
Miller j. Higgins.
Held to Seven Hits
Then this happened. The despised
Giant hurlers held the Yankees to
seven hits and one earned run. The
mpregnable defense of the Clan
AcGraw burst apart on three separate
ocasions while the Hugmen presented
u stonewall barrier to everything but
oase hits. Tho tactics of the midget
manager won referees decision
over the strategy of McGraw in seven
innings and the Giant skipper took
his battle plans to the edge of the
iugout, where he tore them into little
triangular pieces. $50 much for
strategy" said the Little Napoleon.
Now what l want is base hits"
cat your service piped all hands
bancroft, Groh, Frisch and Irish
Meusel came through with the ringing
. bingles, and the Giants had Yankee
pie for supper. Just en- passant, it
might be stated that Heinie Groh
was alleged to be in the sere and yell
low days of his baseball career 1t
was only q week ago that perfect
strangers were hating each other on
the streets to remark that Groh hadn't
made base hit since Hector tried to
steal home on the plains of Troy,
n. Y. They suggested that Hughey
Jennings would be stronger at third
than chunky Heinie. Others declar ID
that his bottle bat was Of the nom
Reliable type and had been empty
sinee last July.
IT'S my party" said Heinie to hts
critics yesterday as he poured q trio
Of hits, all frothy and foaming, right
out of his bottble bludgeon. A little
single in the opening stanza, a lusty
and timely safet in the tighth that
creased the skids beneath the slipping
Bush were his contributions to the
fretful fracas.
1t was big day for little Ross
Young, too. He had fine time out
in the right field Juggling the fate of
the game up and down and balancing
it on his nose. In the fifth inning
he made an astounding grab of Deacon
SeotPs low liner for a double play
on boo Meusei. Lanky Bob spurned
the thought of looking around when
he was on second and the Deacon
pounded what semed to be snrn
single to right. On these occasions
Bob's idea is to put second base as
lar In the rear as possible on very
snort notice. But the Texas spider
shared the Deacon's fly, and R. Meusel
was officially declared defunct at the
keystone bag on the doul,e play.

The Giants flashed three doobla

the best. 1t came in the ninth inning
