 SJehn WcGraw didn't know what heak he vas getting when the Oants put him to bed. After ten rahasantly idle afternoons, he dis c6vefed yesterday that he got we'll tan soon. Back at his customary Munt within the Polo Grounds. the GaAt chieftain saw the frolicsome Reds skip away with the last re- mains of a two-game series by s4brs of 1e to 5. If that Pittsburgh hsiness gave him chilis and fever. tn least he can expect now is to be a4 invalid for life.
 eRsd Lucas had all to do with the s{1s of the New York score. which wDuld have been even smaller had t4s occasion demanded. but the top N Navy total for the Cincinnati expe- d1ten was the handiwork of . pair oegreen campaisners. Joseph stripp, rleently from Columbus. outraged Esderick Fitssimmons with two home runs while Evar swanson from t4s Pacific slepe contended himself \ th one.
 sFitssimmons left the proceedings fA& at the end of the eighth. and t6s Reds welcomed Joe Genswich Wth . real merry-go-round in the ntatA. Five solid hits. produced four operative runs, tsmoviht any slight 4ubt remaining rsgarding the out o0as. This defeat showed the Giants dDwn to . point from which Gen. d4el NcGraw could shake hands with s3y of Wilbert Robinson's cave dnellers without rising from his cDoir. Of ceurss one may say that | . standing of the clubs means a1Ghtne at this stage of the fight but tlnt won't continue to be the case though the rest of the summer.
 C1he victory of the Reds gave the 0Aineland invaders two straight at t1A Polo Grounds and left the Giants | |ssint just three small victories and e11en bumps on the jlw for their ao4aA at home against the west. One q also entered into the record. The q Ae inAabitant can hardly reInem- hof when the troops of the Little Apeleon made . more unsuccessful q eensA of their home Qualifications.
