Giant Hurlers Are Tired.


lust as the Pirates wished for and
saw their hopes realized with q
postponement due to drippy clouds,
the Giants were fervent in their pray
ers for the blessing of stormy weather
today. Promise of clear skies and
warm weather dimmed their ultimate
objective somewhat. however. and they
concentrated on making the best of
q rather dismal slab situation.
With the aid of rain. the Pirates
were able to send Ray Kremer back
on the firing line to trim the Senator'S
after four days of rest. The Giants
today faced the gargantuan aspect of
winning twice with pitchers who will
have had but two days of rest when
they step on the mound.
Manager Bill Terry planned to send
portly Fred Fitzsimmons. victim of
Saturdays heart breaker four-hit per-
formance that was nullified by the
Giants impotency at the plate, against
the Yankees today. If Fitzsimmons
succeeds, Terry intends to pit the
arm-weary Carl Hubbell against the
Yankees famed "murderers' row" to-
morrow.
Fitzsimmons. defeated on an in
ferior performance by Bump Hadley,
at least was a sentimental favorite
with the fickle fans to tame the Yam
KEGS, and many followers felt the rug
eed finger could withstand another
gruelling game better than the frail
Hadley. who was Manager Joe Nc
Carthy's probable selection.
Hafs Courage Is Magnificent.
IT WAS q plucky and sometimes
brilliant display OF slab skill on
the part Of Hal Schumacher that
acted as an oxygen tank to the fast
dying hopes Of the Giants and instilled
them with new life.
Although in trouble virtually every
inning. Schumacher vastly improved
over the twirler who led the Giant
parade Of pitchers in the crushing
1874 smothering In the second game,
pulled through when the chips were
down to outlast Red Ruffipg and Pat
Malone.
The Giants blazed Hal with three
run lead at the outset. when they
combined two doubles and three sin
giles with gratifying results in the first
inning.
Moore. leading of, pumped a dou-
BILE to left and scampered home when
Bartell drilled a double to center.
Terry famed and OFT grounded out
10 Crosetti. Bartell taking third. Rip
pie brought Bartell in with o single
to left Mancuso then singled to right,
sending Ripple to third. and Ripple
scored when Jackson singled to the
same spot.
Col. Terry's Defense Cracks.
THE Yankees whitfield that lead
down with George Selkirk's sec
ond home run Of the series, a blast
into the right field bleachers in the
second inning, and scored another run
in the third on two walks, q wild
pitch and an error.
They knotted the count in the sixth
after the Giants had pushed over an
other run in their half of the inning
on . single by OFT, pass to Ripple,
an infeld out by Mancuso and an
error by Crosetti, who juggled White
heads slow roller In his anxiety to
nip OFT at the plate.
Selkirk, after Gehrig and Dickey
had gone out. singled to center and
Powell beat out slow roller to Jack
son. When the Giants captain threw
high over Terry's head, selkirk scored
and Powell scooted to third. Powell
then scored the tying run on Lazzeris
single to right.
The teams battled down to the tenth
on even terms, with both podgy Pat
Malone, who relieved Running in the
seventh, and Schumacher hurting
brilliant ball.
Moore. who already had been dubbed
the goat" Of the series, dropped hit
In front Of Powell in left and the ball
bounded into the boxes to . ground
