three singles, two doubles and a
triple.
Pittsburgh suffered a severe set
back by being trimmed two games
by the Giants. Errors and hits bunch
fid in two innings won the first,, and
a homer by Burns in the eighth' and
his single in the eleventh gave the
Giants the second. Demaree . out
pitched Camnitz in the first, but Ad
ams was as good as Mathewson and
Promme in the second. Burns poled
a homer, triple and two singles in the
two games. Shafer got a homer and
three singles. The largest crowd that
ever saw a mid-week game in New
York crowded the Polo grounds.
Cincinnati won two games from
Boston and Mordecai Brown acted as
rescuer in the ninth inning of each,
when the Braves threatened the Red
lead. Johnson and Benton were the
starters for Tinker. In each game
Cincinnati was outhit. Bates rapped
a homer and two singles in the two
games, Smith got four singles, as did
Mann. Otis Clymer played the sec
ond game, and horned in with a dou
ble and single. Maranville did sensa
tional fielding for the Braves. Man
ager Tinker of the Reds was sus
pended for rowing with Umpire Orth
Monday.
With Slim Sallee pitching, St.
Louis won its first game of the year
from Brooklyn. Brooklyn got 11
hits, but failed to score until the
ninth inning. Curtis puzzled the
Cards, but his mates slipped in the
field. Huggins and Whitted played a
strong defensive game. Zack Wheat
clubbed a double and two singles.
Roy Mitchell of the Browns held
the Macks safe while his-pals lit on
Carroll Brown, and the Athletics
were humiliated by a whitewash at
the hands of the Stovall aggregation.
Pratt and Lavan did great defensive
work for St. Louis and cracked two
hits each.
Dauss, the Detroit recruit, contin
ued his great pitching, letting the
Yanks down with three hits, two by
Knight. Ford also pitched good ball,
but errors got him in bad holes.
Gainor, with three hits, was respon
sible for all the Tiger runs. Cobb got
one single.
Joe Jackson went hitless for the
third successive day, but Cleveland,
with a revamped line-up, walloped
Boston in a slugfest Olson went to
first base and Birmingham played
center. The Nap manager was on
deck with a triple and single. Lajoie
doubled and singled twice. Speaker
and Carisch each whaled a triple and
single.
Walter .Schaller, White Sox out
fielder, has been sold to San Fran
cisco of the Pacific Coast League.
Heime Zimmerman was out at the
Sox-Washington game. The Cub
slugged said he had had his busted
ankle put under the X-ray and physi
cians told him he could go back to
his third base station Saturday when
the West Siders come home.
Bobby Wallace, veteran shortstop
of the St.' Louis Browns, will not be
taken East with the team. Broken
bones in his wrist will probably keep
him out of the game for the rest of
the season. This leaves Stovall up
in the air for utility infielders.
