Giants Defeat Champions in Ninth?Yankees Bow to White Sox?Dodgers Win Again
Three Runs in Last Stand
Nose Out the Reds by 3?2
Spencer's Single Scores Two Necessary Runs Off
Luque After Young .Starts Sensational Rally
With Two Out and Two Strikes on Him
By R. J. Kelly
After being: temporarily stopped by Pat Moran's champion Reds, the
Giants resumed their mad rush toward the lead in the pennant chase yes?
terday by staging one of the most sensational ninth inning rallies ever seen
at the Polo Grounds and nosing out Cincinnati in the second game of the
series by a score of 3 to 2. Vernon Spencer, who until a few weeks ago
was a member of the Toronto Internationals, was the hero of the after?
noon, for it was his single ;n the last inning that gave the home players
the victorV that earned them exclusive rights to third place.
The Gtantj seemed hopelessly beaten
almost to the very end as Se?or Adolfo
luque, the diminutivo Cuban twirlcr,
wnjrj pitchinc in masterly style and was
apparently invincible. Two men wer?'
out and the McGraw men were trailing
by two runs when "Pep" Young stepped
to the plate in the ninth inning. Th?*
26.000 spectators were making for the
ex't gates.
Umpire Quigley called two strikes on
the batter and then two b:\lls. Young
hit the next ball to Rath at second
base and many of the fans rushed onto
the field, thinking the game had ended.
However, Young sprinted to first and
beat the throw by a hair.
Recruit "Makes Good"
t Time was taken out while the crowd
?was being shooed off Henry Fabian';-,
lawn and Frisch then came through
with a single to right, sending Young
to third. Long George Kelly, who had
previously fallen down in a pin^h,
smashed a double to left center, on
which Young scored and Frisch reached
third. Spencer then inserted his
single to center and Kelly raced across
the plate after Frisch with the winning
: ?ill.
The modest Mr. Spencer was im?
mediately surroneded by a howling,
ch< ering mob and carried off the field
on the shoulders of several fans. It
"as a dramatic ending, and was an?
other example of the Giants' rejuve?
nated spirit.
Luque had previously been going
nlong very nicely and he really de
sarved the decision. He had the local
players virtually eating out of his
hands until the terrible crash came in
the ninth. He tightened up in the
pinches during the first eight innings
and allowed his opponents only five
scattered hits. Young and Frisch
singled in succession in the fourth, but
'lie Cuban pulled himself together and !
fanned Kelly.
Jes3e Barnes started on the mound
7 ir tho Giants, but was chased to cover
in the very first inning. The prodi
:':.', Shufflin' Phil Douglas was rushed
to the rescue before ho even had a
chance to warm up. The latter gare
a splendid exhibition and yielded only
live hits. He was taken out in favor
of a pinch hitter in the eighth and
the ponderous Fred Toney turned
back the Westerners in the final
inning. The big right-handed was
given credit for the victory.
Barnes Gets the Gate
The Reds started with a rush and
chased a run across in the first inning.
Heinie Groh, the first batter, lifted a
fly to Young in right held, but the
latter dropped the ball near the wall
i.7id the runner went all the way to
second base. Rath bunted to Barnes
and beat the pitchers throw to first,
iiid Jake Daubert followed with a
single to center, on which Groh tallied
and Rath reached second. Roush rolled
another bunt to Barnes and the latter
could have easily thrown out Rath at
third, but instead he tossed out
Roush at first.
Barnes was then given the gate and
Douglas made his appearance on the
mound. Duncan smashed a line drive
to Burns, and the Giants' left fielder
made a fine catch and doubled un Rath
at the plate as he attempted to score
after the catch, thereby putting an
abrupt end to the uprising.
Shufflin' Phil did net yield a hit until
the fifth, and it was in this inning that
tho Reds scored their second run.
Kopf, the first batter, drew a base on
balls and advanced to second on Neale's
infield out. Wingo then popped to
Bancroft, but Se?or Luque shoved one
along the right-field foul line for a
single, scoring Kopf. Groh hit an easy
grounder to Bancroft, but the latter
failed to touch second base, and both
runners were safe. Douglas then
broiigttt the inning to a close by
fanning Rath. The Reds got to Doug?
las for two more hits and a sacrifice in
the sixth, but Spencer made a neat
catch of Xea'.e's short fly for the third
Giants Fail in Pinches
The Giants had several fine oppor?
tunities to tie the score early in the
contest, but they were unable to come
through with the necessary hits. After
Burns'had grounded out to Groh and
Bancroft had flied out to Roush in the
fourth. Young smashed a single to cen
ter and Frisch shot another to the
same place on the hit-and-run play,
sending Young to third. Luque caught
Frisch off first base, but the Fordham
Flash reached second in safety when
Young made a fake start for the plate
and drew Daubert's throw to third.
However, Kelly was unequal to the oc?
casion and struck out.
Young started the seventh with his
second hit, a single to right, but Frish
lifted the first ball pitched to Rousch
in center. Kelly then slammed a line
drive toward right center, but Rath
leaped up, made a fine catch and
doubled Young off first while the multi?
tude groaned. Luque then- held the
Giants in complete subjection until the
bombardment started in the ninth.
Besides getting two hits, Frisch
played brilliantly in the field. In the
third inning he made a wotulerful catch
of Luque's terrific smash. The Ford
ham Flash was given an assist on the
play, however, as the runner was not
called out until Frisch had tossed the
hall to Kelly. In the fifth Roush at?
tempted to sacrifice, with Daubert on
first, but Frisch pounced on the ball, and
his throw forced Daubert at second.

Victory Over Cardinals Gives
Brooklyns Undisputed Lead
Grimes Holds St. Louis
Sluggers to 4 Hits and
Gains Decision by 6 to 1
The Dodders have fully recovered
from the shock of losing three out of
four to the champion Reds. At Ebbets
Field yesterday your Uncle Robbie's
co-workers gave further evidence that
their slump was only a temporary
affair by defeating tho St. Louis Cardi?
nals again by a score of 6 ?to 1.
It was a notable victory in many re?
spects. First of all, it extended the
Brooklyn winning streak to two
straight and broke the tie for first
place, as Pat Moran's Cincinnatiacs
lost a thriller to the Giants. Secondly,
it padded Burleigh Grtmes's already
well stocked record with another win,
giving him the undisputed lead among
the National League pitchers with a
count of sixteen and six.
Grimes has supplanted Leon Cadore
as Robbie's box nominee for the Sab^
bath gat?ies in Flatbtish. As a matter
of fact Burleigh has really supplanted
most of the Brooklyn pitching selec?
tions on other days also. However,
Burleigh can withstand the burden, for
he is a husky lad, and, besides, is
among the best spitball servers in the
big leagues.
Hornsby Goes Hitless
Grimes pitched to form yesterday,
holding the clouting Cards to four hits,
two of which were clustered in the sev?
enth Inning and netted the only run
for the tobogganing visitors from far?
away Missouri. Rogers Hornsby, the
I priceless ?nftelder and National League
1 batting leader, failed to get a hit.
: The defeat dropped the Cards to sev?
enth place, and marked the sixth
: straight for them since coming East
, last week, they having lost all four
games to the Giants before proceed?
ing to Brooklyn to be thoroughly dry
cleaned.
Burly Burleigh was not called upon
to do some biting as a side line yes
; terday, and as a result he had quite an
easy afternoon, as the other members
of the Dodgers were in a hitting mood
and banged out an even dozen safeties
off the combined pitching efforts of
Fdrdie Schupp and young Mike Kircher.
f Schupp Sent to Showers
Schupp is one of the oldest pitchers
in the National League, while Kircher
is among the youngest. Both are south?
paws, and while the leaders hit Schupp
frequently they could do little with
the offerings of Kircher, ?who reported
to Branch Bickey only last week, com?
ing up frpni the Richmond club, of the
Virginia League. The kid will do.
Ferdie was among those present for
six innings, during which the Dodgers
carved his curves for eight hits and
live runs. He gavo way to a pinch
puncher in the seventh, and the sub?
stitute batter, by the way, made one
of-the few hits off Grimes, and paved
tliu patli4?.or the only St. Louis run.

Kircher then came on and held the
I pacemakers to two hits in their re
! maining two innings.
The Cardinals became menacing as
early as the second inning, when they
filled the bases with one out, but
Grimes quelWd the rally without dam?
age. Errors by Oison and Grimes
placed McHenry and Heathcote on the
I bases and McCarty's pass filled the
; bases ufter Johnston had thrown out
Lavan. Grimes then fanned Schupp
and threw out Smith.
In their half of the second the Dodg
i ers icod the game by scoring two runs
after two batters had been put out. And
it was the priceless Hornsby who opened
the road to defeat for his team. His
fumble put Konetchy on first. Kilduff
? followed with a single to right, Koney
? reaching third and scoring on Heath
I cote's wild throw to Stock. The latter
recovered the ball and tossed wide of
the plate, permitting Kilduff to take
? third, whence he scored on Miller's
I single to center. Grimes then fanned,
The Dodgers added three more in
! the fifth, and again they started the
parade across the plate after two were
! out. Lavan squashed Miller, but
| Grimes walked and was forced by 01
I son. Johnston singled and he took sec
! ond and Olson third on a wild pitch by
Schupp. Neis was hit by a pitched
ball, and the bases were filled. Wheat's
j single to rirrht scored the first two
; runners. Neis took third on the throw
i in and scored on Myers's one-timer to
; left.
The Cards escaped a shutout in the
seventh on McCarty's pass (Dilhoefer
I ran for him), Knode's single to center.
Smith's single to ri?rht and Monsieur
Fournier's sacrifice fly to Wheat.
Knodo was in there hatting for Schupp.
In the eighth the Brooklyns rounded
out their scoring for the ?lay by mak?
ing a run on singles by Myers and K?1
Juff and Lavan's fumble on Grimes.

Cicotte Shuts Out Hugmen
Before 40,000 Record Crowd
Shawkey Victim of 3 to 0 Setback in First Clash
of Series; \jmpire Rules Ruth Out on Hit
That Disappears Into Throng; Game Protested
By W. O. McGeehan
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.?Before a record crowd, estimated at 40,000, the
Yankees were shut out hefe to-day by Edward Cicotte, who made the
ns.sassins of Murderers' Row look like a lot of mush-and-milk-fed mugs.
The numerical result of the melancholy affair was a 3 to 0 victory for the
White Sox. Our Bob the Gob Shawkey was rather freely plastered from
the start and was finally lifted to accommodate Duffy Lewis as a pinch
hitter.
The startling mildness of Murderers'-?
Row was not ?juite as startling as vna
decision by Umpire Tommy Connolly, j
Babe Ruth lifted one into the crowd
for a ground r?ule two-base hit. Jack?
son went after it, but emerged from the
bottom of the heap without it Never?
theless Connolly ruled Ruth out on a
ouija board hunch that Jackson might
have caught the ball and given it to a
friend for a souvenir. Only the weird,
inscrutable mind of the umpire himself
can explain how this could be doped
out'.
Manager Miller Hugging protested the
gerne on hearing from several specta
I tors that Jackson did not catch Ruth'3
: fly ball.
The Yanks were not hitting in this
first game of the series, and when the
Yanks are not hitting they look very
sad. Ruth did not get a home run all
afternoon; in fact, he did not get even
a single.
(lout Bob the Gob
The Sox started to touch up our
Robert the Gobert Shawkey as early as
the fust inning. Leibold led with a
single that Jarred the Gob loose from
, his slippers. Edward Collins lined tc
Ward and landed into a double play
i Weaver and Jackson made clean single;
but Folseh was thrown out by Shawkey
Babe Ruth, attended by a battery o.
cameras and an innovation in the shap?
of a bat, girl, furnished a touch o
gayety in the second inning by strik
fng out, with great earnestness. War?
j also fanned with some vehemence. Th'
crowd started to scale the fences ii
this inning, pouring into the gram
stands and crowding the casi
customers.
1 John Shano Collins started the So
half of the second with a terrific snias
? to center. Ping Bodie, the brond
beamed eagle of Telegraph Hill, Sa
Francisco, swooped down on it an
held it to a single. A sacrifice and a
out put John Shano on third, but h
passed away there when Cicotte wa
Tir,,,,?? r.,,1- V,?r ?-?ht.-i.-L-r...
Roger Peckinpaugh got the first hit
of:' (.'?cotte in the third, with two out,
and ho gut to second when Pipp was
nicked on the shins. But Pratt struck
out. The united assassins of Murder?
ers' Row seemed to be having an off
day.
Jackson Hits in Pinch
Nemo Leibo'.d brought the first run
over for the Sox in the third. He got
a base on balls and reached third on a
sacrifice and an out. Shoeless Joseph
Jackson, who has been convalescing of
late, sent him hor.io with ;? single that
whizzed by Pipp into right field.
Ruth was first up in the Yankee half
of the fourth and hoisted one over the
steerage passengers in !?. ft field. Joe
Jackson dove into the crowd and dis?
appeared under a rush of hoofs. He
?lid not come out with the ball. He
claimed that he caught it, but that one
of the local guerrilas took it away
from him and sold it for a half dollar.
Without the evidence Connolly ttie
Ump allowed the claim and called Ruth
out.
This started a srjuawk from the en?
tire Yankee ball club arid the customers
joined in. Connolly ordered everybody
out of the lot, including a captain of
police who liad come to the rescue o?
the umps. The crowd continued t?
squawk raucously in sympathy with
Ruth for the rest of the game.
In the Sox half of the fourth Shane
Collins led off with ?i triple that elude-:
tho prehensible spaghetti hooks o!
Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop, but
Collins was speared at third wher
Schalk tried to "s?uiee;-.e" him horn?
and lined to Ward for a double.
The Y'anks started to touch up Ci
cotte in the fifth, but some miraculou
fielding on the part of Jackson an?
Felsch saved the veteran. Jacksoi
came running in on a paste by Rue
and caught the pill while turning :
cartwheel. Felsch robbed Peckinpaug'
of a double with a running one-han
catch, spearing the ball.with a finge
nail.
The Sox got two more in their fifth

made a fine stop but overthrew first,
letting Nemo go to second. Edward
Collins lifted one to left, and Meusel
misjudged it. The ball bounded into the
steerage for a double and Leibold
scored. With Weaver out Jackson was
passed purposely, to the great disgust,
of the customers. Felsch scratched a
twisting hit past Ward and Edward
Collins came in with the other run.
Coming up again in the sixth, with
.two out, Ruth drew a base on balls
and Meusel bounced a single off the
sensitive shins of Mr. Edward Collins.
This brought up Ping- Bodie, the Won?
derful Wop. Ping sighted on the right
field bleachers, but was just a few
yards short of tieing the score ?nd
riveting a crown of glory to the peak
of his bean.
Miiler Muggins had himself chased
by Connolly in the Yankee half of the
seventh. Ward got a scratchy hit to
short and Ruel got a base on balls.
Duffy Lewis was released from his Ore
! gon boot to pinch hit for Shawkey.
Connolly called him out when he
seemed to swing at the third one, and
Huggins protested with such vehemence
that he protested his way right into the
clubhouse. With this start Murderers'
Row did not seem able to spill any
gore.
March Right Rack Again
The chief assassins of Murderer 'Row
; marched up in the eighth and 'Ched
'right back again. Risberg thri
Pratt, Ruth was stopped by Edward
Collins and Lank Bob Meusel hoisted
himself out to short conter, and the
multitude started the maneuver for the
exits.
Ping Bodie, the Wonderful Wop, was
; so dazed by the sight of the bat girl
. near the Yank dugout that he struck
out in the ninth. Ward got a base on
! balls and moved to second en Ruel's
; out. Gleich went in to bat for Mog
.idge and struck out. It was a decid
r edly off day for the assassins.
