gia.xts beaten twice
SEW PITCHERS VICTIMS.
Marquard and Durham Fail to Hold
the Reds, and Cubs Creep Up.
The Giants lost two frames to Cincinnati yester-
Cay. the first by a score of 7 to 1. the second by a
score of 5 to 2. They still lead the league, but by
the perilouFly close margin of a single point, and
from now on will have to win practically every
game they play to land the pennant that just a
week ago. after the double defeat of Pitt«burs,
seemed so pure to float at the Polo Grounds. Mar
qusrd, who came to New York from Indianapolis.
ana cost the Giants, according to reports that were
never denied. 11l 1. started to pitch In the first
game, but was a? wild as a hawk, and not too hard
to hit when he did put the ball over the plate.
Durham, his clubmate In the American Associa
tion, made a splendid start, making the three men
who faced him in the sixth Inning strike out, one
en three pitched balls. But he shared Marquard's
fate in the next inning, and McGraw pulled him
out to M Taylor finish out the game in the eighth
and ninth Innings.
The second game was lost when the Reds fell
savagely upon McGinnlty. who began the pitching.
In the second Inning, scoring four runs and taking
the r«me before it had more than started. Cran
dell went in to atop further trouble, and pitched a
pood game, but the Giants seemed to have lost
their batting eyes, and Fpade in the first game and
Dubuc in the second held them at their mercy.
Altogether the afternoon was a melancholy one for
the twelve thousand fans who constituted a big
week day crowd, in view of the absence of Chi
cago or Pitt«=burjr. and only the defeat of Plttsburg
by Boston in the first me of a double header
cheered the drooping spirits of the fans for a while.
Brooklyn's defeat at the hands of Chicago took
away what little consolation there was in that,
however, and the talk turned to the double header
to-day. Despite the slump in batting, the poor base
running and The lTv>frectivene«»s of the New York
pitchers there was a general feeling of confidence
that to-day would bring two victories, and hope
still ran high that Ike pennant would be won.
Marquard got a rousing welcome when he walked
out to the box in the first frame. He se-me<l ner
vmis as he faced Kane, being evidently rattled by
the big crowd and the knowledge that he was the
centre of attraction. His start was bad. for he
shot a ball into Kane's ribs, and the batTer sot his
bope. Herxog took care of Egan's pop fly. but
Ix.bert tripled to the fence In l»ft field, scoring ;
Kane. Bescher followed with another triple, pcor- j
ing Lobert, but Beraec*S fine relay of Seymour's
throw OBtaght him at the plate. Then Marquard
steadied and make Hoblltzel strike rut.
The Giants nearly tied the score at once, for a
pass to Tenney. Herzog's pir.pl«» and Bresnahan's
sacrifice put men on second and third. After
Donlln died. Seymour drove a hot liner out To
left BcM. which Bescher held by a magnificent
catch, turning over twice after he had the ball.
Good support helped Marquard a lot In the next
three innings, but his troubles came to a head In
the fifth pension. Paßkert started that period with
c. long drive to left that pave McCormlck a hard
run. Bridwell threw Schlei out. and then came
the avalanche. Spade singled to right, and Brid
well barely touched Kane's hit as it flew past
him. Egan pinpled over second base and Spade
scored. Kane scored on a wild pitch, and Lohert
drove Epan home with the fourth hit of the in
ning. Another wild pitch got away from Bresna
han. and in making a fine stop that saved another
run the catcher's finger was badly hurt. Biidwell
finally got Beacher for the third out.
In their half of this inning the Giants scored
their onry run. Bridwell Fingried. with one out. and
De Yore, baTting for MarqiArd. walked. Herzog
singled, scoring Bridwell, but that was the end of
the rally.
Durham went into the box. He made Hoblitzel
fan to start with, and pitched only three balls
to Mowrey. who made no attempt to hit any one
of them. By this time the crowd was crazy with
joy. and The new- pitcher got a great ovation when
he made a clean Bsseep of the inning, striking out
Paskert al«o. But in Th" next Inning, after he
got two men out, he gave Kane a pass. Egan
singled, and two runs came in on L<obert'B two
bagger. It wasn't so very bad. but McGraw took
the new man out in The next inning, Taylor hold
ing the Reds safe.
The second game was lost in the Becond inning.
•when the Beds got four runs off McGinnlty.
Bescher got a scratch single, and Hoblitzel hit
safely. Mowrey's bunt was safe when McGinnlty
failed to get Bescher at third, and. with the bases
full, the 'Iron Man" forced in a run by passing
Paskert. McLean scored two runs with his single,
and Dubuc accounted for another in the same way.
A double play by Seymour and BridareJl was the
only thing that kept the score down.
Crandail went in in the next inning and pitched
goon ML McCormick went to sleep in the fourth
Inning, letting ivp runners advance a base by his
plow work in the field, which helped to let la an
other run.
Seymour's double and McCormick's single gave
the Giants a run In the same fourth inning, and a
pas&, a single and an out accounted for the other.
* There •were other chances to score, but the Giants
were a travesty of a major league team on the
bat-eE, and lost the two games because they were
outplayed.
The score follows:

Ross, of Pr«» Burn, r.nd W. C. Shoup and Jack
Hobens. of Bnplewood. at US.
It had originally been intended to restrict the
entries to pairs from the same club, but as thin

fast pace set by the leaders during the champion

As Is often the case In these four ball affairs, the
unexpected happened. Earlier in the week Honey

marked his efforts throughout yesterday's double

NEW YORK TAKES APPEAL.
Not Satisfied tvith Ruling of Um
pires in Game tvith Chicago.
Harry C Pulllam, president of the National
Iyague. issued a statement yesterday clarifying the
more or less muddled condition regarding the cele
brated game of Wednesday between the New York
and Chicago baseball cluba. The atatement does
not show that Chicago has made any claims, so far
as President Pulllam is concerned, of a forfeited
game on Thursday, but that the only upshot so far
as the announcement that Wednesday's score was
a tie is a formal notice by the New York club that
It will appeal from that decision.
President PulUauu's announcement follows, in full:
"In view of the great interest and constant in
quiries by telegraph and letter to thla oftVe re
garding the exact status of the New York-Chicago
game of September 23. I desire to make thla atate
ment:
'The umpire* in charge of this contest filed their
written report* at National League headquarters
on September 24. stating that the New York-Chi
cago game of September 22 resulted In a tie score.
This report ol the umpires was accepted In the
usual manner without prejudice to the rights of
either club.
"Under the constitution of the National I>eague
either club has a right to appeal from the decision
of the umpires within five days of the date of the
game. The New York club on thie day has notified
this office that it will appeal from the decision of
the umpires.
'In compliance with the provision of Section 2S
of the National League constitution, the protest of
the New York club, when received, wlli be sub
mitted to the Chicago club, and that club has five
daya in which to file Its anawer. If It so desires.
The same procedure will prevail In the event that
the Chicago club protests the decision of the um
pire.
"When the case is made up, a decision on tse
facts and evidences will be rendered by the presi
dent of the league, which decision la subject to ap
peal within five days to the board of directors,

New Haven, Sept. 25— The effort to develop a
Quarterback to take the place of Tad Jones on the
Yale eleven Is still occupying much of the time of
the coarhes. At present Blngham, who played the
position on the freshman team in 1906. and ran the
scrub eleven lust year, seems to have thp call. He
has more experience than any of the other candi
dates, but Is not wholly satisfactory as yet.
Wheaton, who won his "T" as a halfback la.st
year, passe* the ball well, runs the team speedily
and gives Ills signals In good style. It is entirely
possible that he may come so fast as the s»tison
goes on that he will leave Hlngham. and Hopkins,
who was quarter on the 1911 class team, and is the
other leading candidate, behind. He. has the ad
vantage of being a good drop kicker.
Coonejr. who has been shifted from centre to
right tnckle. leaving a pretty ftpht for centre be
tween Hyde and Fiddle, has a tendency to play too
far out on the defensive, which makes it easy for
the opposing end to put htm out of plays, nnd the
coaches are working to correct this fault. He is
expected to make a good mate to Hobos, who
.«eem« to be a fixture at left tackle.

SHILLING RIDES WELL
»
FIRST IN THREE RACES.
Roseben, Masquerading as a Selling
Plater, Wins in a Gallop.
Shilling rode three winners and one third horse
In four mount* at Gravwend yesterday, and now
heads the list of winnli.g jockeys for the meet-
Ing, with thirteer victories to his credit. Notter.
who rode one winner yesterday, follows with
eleven, while E. Dugnn had ten before he was
suspended fnr rough riding. Shilling began well
by riding Footpad to victory in the first race, and
he followed this up i>y scoring with Killcreen and
Firestone. There were no fixtures on the pro
gramme, but a handicap at one mile and a quar
ter served as the feature and proved more than
acceptable.
Firestone, won this race In the colors of T. H.
Williams. He was conceding from ten to thirty
one pounds to his opponents, but In spite of this
many oral wagers were made on his chances at
a remarkably short price. Shilling let him go
right to the front and make the pace, but rated
him so cleverly «hat the good three year-old had
plenty left in the last quarter to shake off Dande
lion. The letter tired In the closing strides <=->
that Kllllecrankle. wh'ch ran up strongly on the
rail rounding the far turn, managed t.i bt-at him
a neck for the place.
Dandelion ran in the name and colors of S. C.
Hlldreth. who bought the son of Hamburg-Pansy
from F. R. Hitchcock before the race at private
terms. The price was said to be $6,^0.
The once mighty Roseben masqueraded as a
selling plater in the fifth event and literally
•"rolled home" after ft phort but decisive struggle
with Stargownn Ir. the first quarter. Sweet, on
the latter, pulled up when Notter rode htm rather
close, which effectually settled any ihnnce he
might have had. Rosehen. which Is said to be
on the verge of a breakdown, was entered to be
sold for $3,000. t>ut no bids were forthcoming when
he was offered at auction.
Footpad, a cast-off from the Keen* stable,
showed startling Inprovment over recent races
when he beat Wise Mason and Fashion Plate In
the first event. He had a pull In the weights, and
th's counted In his favor when Wise. Mason tried
to wear him down In the last furlong;. Fashion
Plate dlii not run his race and Is quite likely to
show Improvement the next time he goes to the
post.
Augupt Relmort's Practical, the full brother to
the unbeaten Prlscllllan. was again tried and found
wanting: In the third race. He was too much of
a handful for I'pton and swerved In behind Kill
creen In the stretch, when it looked for a few
strides bh If he would come away to win. after
mnklna; up much ground from a bad beginning.
9. ('. Htldreths K!n« .Tame* recovered so quickly
from his lameness, following Ms defeat by Fair
Play In the First Special, that he was galloping
yesterday morning and timed a mile In 1:45.

DIXIE II FLIES AGAIN.
Makes Best Time in Motor Boat
Carnival on Hudson River.
R. J. Olltl uetk'fn motor boat Dixie II was the
winner in her class yesterday in the second series
race of the National Motor Boat Carnival, being
held on the Hudson River off the Colonial Yacht
Club and under It* direction. The Dixie II covered
the thirty-mile course In l hour 5 mtn. 40 sec., which
Is at the rate of a mile in 2 minute* 12 seconds, or
at an average speed for the entire distance of tLM
nautical, or 31.41 statute, miles an hour.
.1 H. Hoadley'a Den made the next best time—
20.78 nautical, or 23 S9 statute, miles an hour— but
the Vim was the winner in that class on time al
lowance. There were seven starters in this class,
but no other boat started in the Dixie's class. The
winners in the other classes were the Speedway la
walk over), the Joker and th« Wamego. The Eagle
on.i the Alabama each had walkovers.
Although a great discrepancy was found In the
measurement Of the Alabama— her rating as first
riled being 46.35, and her new rating 68. SJ- she still
wins th« first prize on time allowance; in the long
distance race to Peeksklll. The Vim's remeasure
ment shows that her original rating was more

6529.
There was less fog on the river yesterday, so
that all but two of (sixteen boats that started were

The correspondents ■<( various newspaptsrs locate!
at North < 'reek and other plac»s have. In re:a::o;i
to lbs tires In the Adlrondacks. vrry much e*ay
gerated the facts. There have been v»ry man 7
small ::r>s. CO per cent of them act by sparks from
railroad enclnes. We have had nearly ail of our
750 fire wardens, the mi capable men In th* vari
ous counties, at work, ar.d they have employ*! the
bent men obtainable In helping to flsrht flrt-s. "Nearly
three thousand men. all told, have been a« work.
The lumber companfe* ami railroads hav>- con
tributed very largely in the work by employing
their own men In net, all the people of the Ad:
rondacks have "been very patriotic :ibout it. Th»
statement th.at old men, bums and otfsers are hir-^i
ami cannot do effective work is absolutely false.
It Is true that we axe obiijjwi to take such men
as we can get. Fortunately and usually they are
the best men.
The r>-. ;...• of this state are to bs> eonsrratu'atei?
or the success we have had in fighting; and con
rroTll fires. Very little. If any, jrre^n tlrrber en

Is simply a wilful mliataaMßei • In The Judg

has not I*!! $'."■.••> worth of rrwtvh.-vTtta.Ne tim

other states, we have escaped so far with very
little damage, and it is data la the efficient f!r»
fighting fore© and its organization that we hay«
escaped.

and instead of being abused, thos«> engaged !:; the
work should be praised.
