On Wednesiln Pnt Motan put his ball tenors oer (lie hurdles and romped
all over the prostrate forms of the CinnU on two different and ili-t ni' t
occasions. Yesterday, .7 awn JK5rnu did the dm ins and his ineny band
put the banshee on the citizens of Cim inniili twice in the same place. The onI
difference was that it was more unanimous. Tin re was mi question as to
which was the better team in the second coulln t The Cunts were dec ted
with votes to spare.
We are pullint; nothing new or startling when ic remaiU casually that
even a worm will turn, but when it dois. ,t still remains a worm and not a
sardine. The same goes fur the Ciants Although placed ou the long end
of the scores thej still ate the same old (limits. read to Hop on shoit notice
When the race becomes close and the going g. ts lougli. Iieu in victory the
club did not show in mil nggicssiwness 01 lighting -pint. The plajeis liac"
not been able to absorb un of the pugnai ious pi is,,milil of Miliiuw, but
perform like a gang of actors who ate not on strike. Theio is just as much
pep and enthusiasm in their woik as a iloi k of section hands Iujing a railio.nl
track. Thej act as if it was their stern dut to devote their afternoons to
baseball and that featme becomes more apparent uhui thej are trailing along
on the short end of the score.
Yesterday some of the athletes showed signs of life and staged .1 near
battle royal in the second game, siijdcr almost declaied win 011 Cuba whet.
Luquc failed to make him king b.i irowning him with a speed beau lull, l'.ig
Frank almost dislocated Ins jaw while telling Adolfo what lie thought of him,
and the game continued.

THE thud, I'ubc Uruton was tagged itienuouily nit the back
by the same Mr. l.uque and irinlintid icith stmmht left to the
chin. The blow irni a beauty and dchieird with lineeie willies.
That caused all of the pbuicri lu 1111I1 on the diamond, but eieiything
ended when liubc was 1 aimed jar tin leinaindei of Ihr ttftrinnrin.
Jimmy Smith and Young Vnvh aso had an aujiiment. but no blow
were struck. The opposing plnyeit an not at all fnrndly.
Benton and Barnes May Hurl for McGraw
PERHAPS the canning of Itenton was a good thing tor New York. He
had been in the game but three it.nings and held the foe hitless. Itenton is
in form again; 75arues has won ten sti.nght and still going, and with that pair
Of heavers on the mound the Cothamites hae a piett good dunce to cop if
the other plajcrs get on their toes and play the game for the sport of it in
stead of the semimonthl paj checks.
Yesterday was an off da for the Heds They could h.ne left their bats
in the clubhouse for all the good the did. Time and again there were oppor
tunities to score a Hock of runs ou one measly, solium hit, but there
was nothing doing. Only once in the fourteen innings of the first game did a
batter come through with a bingle and that was 111 the sixth, when Hough
scored Daubert with a three -bagger.
Cincinnati had the pop-up habit in the opener. Pred Tonej had thein
hitting the ball miles and miles miles up and miles down. Kvery time n
couple of men got on base the next battels would come up and pop! The
catcher or some infielder would catch the ball on its return trip to terra firma.
Greasey Xeale had time big chances to drie in mils, but all he did was
hit a high tly which was caught b the catcher two feet in front of the plate,
knock a weak grounder to the pitdier and hit another, pop up to second
base. Jimmy Hiug had four dunce to diive in a run, but couldn't deliver.
The aliens simply fell down on. their hitting and looked like a different team.
D
VRiyG the gamp, the Wt hit nineteen pop-upi, uhieh terms
nofi today, but to us it is a booit for the pitthimj of big Vred Toncy.
Another howl deah with Wingo't 11 101 in the fifth 11 hen he diopped
the ball after tagging Kuuff at tin plate. Had Ivy held the pcltet
at that juncture, the Ilcdlcyi uould hair won.
Rube Is an Outfielder He Proves It in One Inning
PAT MORAX made a wild guess in the second battle when he wished the
pitching job on Rubino Itressler. the ex-outlieldiug hurler. After one
inning on the slab, Rubino was told te take off his false whiskers, because
he deceived no one. lie still was an outfielder, anil Patrick chased him
out to the left garden to replace Sherry JIagee. Shorr.i, by the way, has
not recovered his old-time speed. lie is slower than a spavined tab horse
and fielded hits in his teintoi with the agility of a steam roller. He
still is suffering from the effects of the flu, which put him on his back a
month ago and should not be playing at all.
Adolfo Luquc pitched in the Cuban language after that and was easily
interpreted Four runs were scored the first inning he pitched, but take it
from us, they were gifts from the' umpires. We are not in the habit of
handing out slams to any one or handing out knocks indiscriminately like
gents with critical ees, but this was the rawest piece of work ever pulled
by a big league official. Two were out and Ilenton singled. Hums walked,
and Young hit to left. Itenton tore to third, but overran the bag, nnd Groh,
taking Bressler's throw, tagge-d Rube while he was two feet off the cushion.
That was Quigley's play, but he stood at the home plate instead of running
to third. He probably didn't see what happened, so called the runner safe.
Hank O'Day was watching the runners on first and second, which was right,
and his back was turned to the piny Cincinnati kicked, but they didu't
have a Chinaman's chance. After that, the Giants began hitting and four
runs were shoved over. Those six markers also put the game on ice.
New York looked better after that six-run lead. They played like
champions. They had lots of pep, perpetrated brilliant fielding stunts nnd
really looked like winners. So would any ball club with a lead like that.
fUREE more runs were made by the locals after that and the final.
count was 9 to 3. Moran used fourteen men in the battle, but

that wasn't enough.
New York Fans Never Stick With Loser
TEW YORK fans are great winners. They never string along with a loser
very long and change from one side to the other without warning. Yes
terday the spectators believed New York would get walloped a couple of more
times and they became stanch, loyal Red rooters throughout the first game.
Then, after the Giants won and took n big lead in the nightcap, you never
aaw such enthusiastic, exuberant well wishers for the home team in your life.
They hissed and jeered the Cincinnati players, hurled wads of paper at
them as they walked back from the home plate, and poor Hill Phelon, the
hard-working scribe, was a target for empty cigarette boxes and useless
programs. .
Once, when Benny Kauff was waiting for a chance to bat, he turned
to the crowd and said sneeringly: "So those guys are the league leaders!
What do you think of that?"
The fans quit cold after the first day, only about 10,000 showing up
fojr the second act. Today, however, the Polo Grounds will be jammed
again, for nothing is so sweet as victory - to the Broadway athletes. The
chance to witness a free-for-all scrap also will help the gate. Yesterday's
unpleasantness was played up big in all of the New Y'ork papers, and the
aay-going citizens will turn out in flocks to see if any murders ure committed.

The Two IV cells9 Test
FROM this balmy dntc until August glides out of the picture, the East and
West lenew again the intcrsectionnl test nt golf and lawn tennis, in which
for many jenrs past the rivalry has been unusually keen.
The golf carnivu opens at Oakmont, in the Pittsburgh district, on
Satin day and winds up Saturday neM.
Two days later nt Forest Hills, the combat will be resumed with lawn
tenuis supplanting Hcotia's cuerahle pastime.
A' BOTH games the competition is so crcnly matched between Ihc -
(ico sections that it's anybody's gucsi that Lcnorc, and nothing
more.
The Western Prevalence
THI3 West has bagged the last twp golf clianipjonships, while McLoflghlin,
Johnston and Murray have won four of the last six tennis championships
from the Hast.
Chick Hvans, of Chicago, holds the golf crown upon the eve of battle,
while I.indlej Murray, u California-trained entry, hohls the main lawn tennis
laurel.
lloth Hvaus and Murray face spectacular sessions in defense of their titles.
Chick faces a rugged field with Ouimet, Trners, Cardner, Kirkby, Jones,
and other stars waiting with the wood and iron to lift his scalp without
leplacing nny divots.
He has been playing brilliantly all summer,' but he faces the toughest
competition on this occasion that he has ever known.
The same holds for hindley Mm raj, the spectacular southpaw. Murray
will not only find such stnrs as Johnston, Williams, Tilden, GriiIiu,.McI..oughIin
nnd others from the United States of America, but also such invading talent
as the Australians, headed by llrookes and Patterson nuc Kumagae, the
alert Jap.
' 12V ASK and Muriay can maintain their prestige against these two
fields there will be no debate left as to who belongs at the top of the
peak in the two gieat amateur games that appeal to over 3,000,000
citizens in I nclc Sam's domain alone.
IF TIIH startled Reds break into a world series they will be like the White
Sox of 1!)0(1 and the Uravcs of 101 I a hurricane that can't be slopped.
When the under dog once gets hack upon his feet nothing short of a mountain
range is going to hold him in check.
