By nonERT W. MAXWEIA.
Sports Editor Erenln rabllt'ldfrr
Polo Grounds, New York, N. Y Aug.
33. Before the lnrgest crowd 'that ever
witnessed a baseball game In New York,
Pat Moran's galloping red legs grabbed
the first act of the double-header this
afternoon by the 'score of 4 to 3.
Forty thousand frenzied fans occu
pied every sent In the vast stadium,
something which never has happened
before even in world series battles.
Every reserved seat in the grnndstand
Tvas sold before the end of the third
inning, nnd late comers were obliged
to wander out into the bleachers or
Join the mob standing twenty deep In
the back of the stands. The threat
ening weather did not In any way in
terfere with the turnout.
There was such a profusion of strnw
hats that it looked ns If the mob wns
under a thatched roof of a bamboo bun
galow. Much partisanship was shown
by the wearers of these hay keilcys and
no opportunity was missed to jeer the
Visitors or to cheer the home club.
Taking it all in all there was plenty of
excitement.
The Giants scored two runs in
the second inning on Chase's single,
Zim's biff to right. Ncale's wild heave
and a hot single to center by Snyder.
Then Reuther settled down nnd there
was nothing more doing until the Reds
came in for their hnlf of the third.
This same third round saw things
unpleasant happen for Harlemltes. With
one down, Rnth walked and Daubert
wai safe on Nehf's wild toss to first.
Groh wns passed, filling the bags nnd
'Rnth scored a moment Inter on n sne-
rifice fly to Rousch. Nenle was passed
nnri inc uiigH lvrn- ukuiu iraini'ii. riupi

and Groh counted.

of the lot, but the best he could do wns
to knock a fly to Rath. Zimmerman
singled to right and went to second,
while Chase took third on Nenle's wild
thrpw over (Jroh's head. As the crowd

Magee's Single
Gives Reds Lead
Continued rrnm Iirp One
taking it seriously. In preliminary prac
tice no greetings were exchanged, the
handshaking stuff being tnboocd. Every
thing pointed to a tough bnttle between
enemies with no qunrter on either side.
There was fc terrible scandal when
the Cincinnati club arrived on the
grounds enrrying their own Ice, wnter
nnd towels. They bnd heard thnt an
nttempt would be made to dope the
players nnd no chances were tnken.
Henry Fabinn. the groundkecper, was
turned down cold when lie appeared on
the scene with n cake of ice on his
bnck.
He wns highly indignnnt when hN
frozen offering was spurned nnd when
the Cincinnati trainer asked for the
loitn of nn icepick, Henry cut him
dend. lie said there might be prusic
nold nn the tongs.
McOrnw wns given n big ovntion
when he nppenred on the field, the
cheering continuing for almost five min
utes. The Giant players also were well
received, but when Pat Moran and his
athletes went" out for" fielding practice,
the mob gave him the raspberry. Evi
dently, nn effort wns being made to
get the animals of the visiting gent.
Every foozle wns greeted with a salve
of jeers nnd the well-known nnd highly
sportsmanship of the New Yorkers wus
conspicuous by its absence ; however,
the booing wns en mnssc Instead of in
dividually, so it wasn't so bnd.
A pair of left-handers htnrtcd the
frny, Reuther performing for Moran
nnd Arthur Nehf for the Giants.
According to Al. Monroe Ellns, the
demon statistician, Reuther lias won
three and lost four games to New York
In his young life, nnd Nehf has scored
nine victories against eight defents in
the same length of time.
Before the game wag called, the at
tendance was 1!0,000 with cash custom
ers still pouring In. Crowds always
nrrivc late in New York. Manager Mc
Graw was jinxeil cnrly in the afternoon
when Louis Mann, the eminent nctor,
spoke to him and 'wished him luck.
Louie hasn't picked a winner in, his
life.
Frank Mackin, the mad hatter of
Philadelphia, congratulated Mornn and
wasthnnked by the silver-topped lefcder
Moran sent a mebsage to the Philadel
phia fans.
"Tell them I will do the best I can,"
he said, "and I expect to get better
than an even break. I also want to
thank the fans of Philadelphia for tak
ing such an interest in my ball club."

admire his work.
Thnt clay was yesterday, and the oc
casion the opening day of the 11110
Grand Circuit meeting at the Belmont
track at Narberth.
His Triple Burden
The steeds of speed were there and
the best judges of horse flesh banked one
side of the track. Every race was run
off smoothly nnd the fnlse stnrts were
few when compnred to the numerous
starts at other Grand Circuit meetings.
But there's a reason for everything,
nnd there wns u reason for the faultless
manner in which the rnces weie handled.
Burdened with the triple tnsk of nn
nounccr, stnrter nnd finish judge, this
unique personage stood out like a lump
of coal on a snow bnnk.
From the land of dreams to the realm
of reality came forth this distinctive
character. Virtually friendless nnd
having the confidence of only one per
son that Al Saunders, secretary of the
meeting this magnetic person rose from
oblivion to the dizzy heights in one very
brief afternoon of harness racing.
Biggs Discovered

the small-time racing circuits. Ail the
fair tracks in the East have had this
distinctive Individual directing affairs.

Longwood Courts Today
OTHER VICTORIANS BEATE!
Rroohllne. Mass., Aug. IS. The naV
tlonal double championship tourna
went being played on the new turf courts)
of the Longwood Cricket Club, at ChN
nut Hill, has reached into the cemU
final round, with one Australian teami
Norman E. Brookes and Gerald L. Pat
terson, occupying a bracket In the upper
half of the draw, where they Will
clash this afternoon with Frederick B.
Alexander and S. Howard Voahtll o
New Tork. '
The other Australian pair, H. Y
Thomas and Randolph Lycett, wer
eliminated in the second round by Alex
ander and Voshell in a five-set match,
and Wjlllnm M. Johnston and Clarenca
O. (Jriffin. of California, and Maurlcs
L. McLaughlin and Thomas C. Bundy,
also from the coast, filled out the two
brackets in the lower section.
It looked Monday night, at the end
of the day's play, as though Brookea
i and Patterson would fight it out In the

Griffin, and from what the writer ha
seen of the work of both these teams
he is inclined to pick the Americans,
who held the national title In 1015 and
IMA, as the winners. On Saturday
afternoon the tournament victors will
meet William T. Tilden. 2d, of Thila-'
delphla, and Vincent Richards, of New
York, present champions, in the cbaN
lenge round.
Brookes, the oldest man in the tour
nament, showed yesterday that he, is
still able to cope with the "young
set." While his game has lost aome
thing of its sting and finishing power,
the great Victorian is just as crafty a
court general as ever, aud this he proved
over and over again by the manner in
which he tricked both Williams and
Washburn in the many furious volleying
exchanges from close to the net.
Brookes is a master at concealing his
j direction, ana It Is almost impossible to
, tell just where he Is going to send tha
I hall. In addition, his own antic!
, patlon of what an opponent is going to
do makes him an exceedingly difficult
man to score against. He and Willlami
had some rare passes at the net during;
1 the match, with the ball going back
nnd forwnrd across fore i-ourt at almost
unbelievable angles. Brookes generally
