IN TWIN VICTORY
Bruins Dropped to Third.
White Sox Win Tenth

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TINE Giants, admitted on all
sides to be the best-balanced
club in the National League
and to have the best four-man
pitching staff, look tougher than ever
now that their second-string mounds
men have begun to come through.
Tackling the first double-header of
the 1885 season yesterday, the league
leaders got fine pitching not only from
Roy Parmelee, who hasn't lost to Chi
cago in two years, but from the "soph-
omore" Highlander, Clydell Castle
man, who spent most of last season
with Montreal. As a result the Giants
won to and 6 to 2, showed the Cubs
down to third place and held two
game margin over the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Parmelee granted only three hits,
lost a shutout through Kiki Cuylers
homer and handed Lon Warneke his
first defeat of the season. Joe Moore
provided the winning margin in the
third with his fifth homer of the sea-
son.

the licking the Washington club
treasury took, licking that
amounted to something like $1,325.
And that does not include the

It cost the ball club around
$500 to get to st. Louis from
Chicago, stay three days at q

Cap Myer prospered in st. Louis,
however. In the two games, Buddy

There was no profit to the
Browns in the set. They drew in
round numbers 700 at the two
games. They lost both games to
run their losing streak to 10. In

He also had in reserve Henry Cop

Coppola Stops Rally.

"HERE were two on and one out
when Coppola took the hill. He
quickly got rid of Sam West, who
the inning before had found Weaver
for q homer, and Burns, who had
singled in the opening round.
Then Coppola went on to pitch two
full innings, in which he gave up no
more than one base on balls. Henry
had his fast ball tipping through and
better than fair curve to throw at
the Browns. That he went no farther
than the fourth inning was due to a
stirring rally staged by his club in the
fifth. When the batting got down to
Coppola, Harris deemed 1t better to
substitute a pinch-batter for the
pitcher and the managers move paid.
Coppola, however, was in long
enough to get credit for his first big
league victory, for his successor, Jack
Russell, was handed good lead with
which to work. Russell might have
received credit for the win had he not
Topped in the ninth so badly that
Linke was ordered to the rescue.
Linke assumed the pitching task at
q time the Browns were showing a
hot hand. They had hammered Rus
sell for four hits and three runs. One
was out and runner was on first
base. Lnke had trouble a-plenty with
the first batter he faced, Ray Pepper,
for Pepper spurned poor pitches and
quickly the count was three and two.

ITERE Inke showed his pitchers
III heart. He continued to pour
the ball in there and Pepper
continued to foul off the good pitches.
A walk here might have been disas-
trous to the Washington cause. But
Linke kept singing those strikes"
and finally foul from Peppers bat
nestled in Bottoms glove. Then Beau
Bell drove into a forceout and the
ball game was in.
The Nationals outhit the Browns
only Is safeties to IL. There were
three home runs among the Browns
swats. one by West and one by Bell
of Viewers pitching, and a second
by West off Russell.
The Washington batting was done
at the expense of Bob Weiland, left
handler, who stuck around long enough
to become the loser. Jack Knott and
Ivy Andrews, the. last two of the
Brownie pitchers, chucked in seven
bases on balls that did not hurt the
Nationals at all.
Passes to Myer and Kuhel and
single by Travis got the Nationals
away in front, but West Immediately
offset this with his first homer. The
Harris hands came back to score two
more in the second. Powells bunt,
Viewers single and hits by Myer and
Manush accounted for the scores.
Again, however, the Browns got
merry with Viewers pitching to drive
him from the peak. Bell opened the
home sides second turn with q home
run, great hoist into the left field
stand, then two passes and an error
by Larry crowded the bases. Cliffs

Weaver to the cooling room.
