Giants Shut Out Pirates, 5 to O; Toney Yields Only Two Hits?Yankees Ou^d_ From ?^
McGraw's Clansmen Score All
Their Runs in One Big Inning
Pennant-Marl New Yorkers Tally Five Times in Third
Session ; UmpireMcCormick Target of Pop-Bottle
Volley After Decision Against Pittsburgh Player
By R. J. Kelly
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16.?Sweeping every semblance of opposition
before them by the strength and speed of their attack, the flying Giants
continued their mad dash toward the National League pennant by defeat?
ing the stumbling Pirates in the first game of the season's most crucial
aeries here this afternoon. The score was 5 to 0. It was the ninth con?
secutive victory for McGraw's players, who are now leading the pack by
the comfortable margin of three and a half games.
Fred Toney, who pitched for the New.
Yorkers, -rave one of tho best exhibi?
tions of his long major league career.
Aided by the impenetrable defensive
play of his mates, the big right hnnder
held the former league leaders in com?
plete subjection from start to finish.
Toney allowed only two hits, a double
by Cutshaw and a single by Grimm.
Cutshaw was the only home player to
get as far as second base during the
contest. Only three others reached
first base.
Until the veteran second baseman
slammed his two-bagger to left center
field, with two out in the seventh in?
ning, not one of the Pirates had con?
nected for a cafe hit. During that
period only twenty-two batters, two
more than the minimum number, had
faced Toney's invincible pitching.
Carey drew a base on balls in the
fourth inning and Glazner got on in
the same way in tho sixth.
Umpire la Bombarded
The stands and bleachera at Forbes
Field were not quite filled to capacity,
but there were more than 20,000 fans
of the most rabid sort within the in
closure. and the contest served to
demonstrate the bitter partisanship of
these followers of the fortunes"*'"*?**!/ the
Pirates.
In the eighth inning Grimm was on
first base as the result of a single, and
Schmidt drove a bounder toward Raw
lings. Grimm, intentionally or other?
wise, prevented the Giants' second
baseman from fielding the ball. Um?
pire McCormick, who was officiating on
the bases, immediately declared Grimm
out for interference.
The Pirates, to a man, vigorously
protested the decision, but the arbiter
refused to change his ruling. Then a
disgraceful scene followed. As McCor?
mick returned to take up his usual
station near first base at the end of
the inning, he was greeted by a shower
of pop bottles from the various sec?
tions of the stands. Three of these
struck the umpire, two bounding from
the ground and striking him on the
back and the other hitting him on the
shoulder while in full flight.
McCormick gamely stood his ground,
although the missiles were falling all
about him, thick and fast. Finally,
after the game had been interrupted
for several minutes, he moved to the
center of the diamond and the barrage
ceased. Several policemen were on
hand at the end of the game to afford
McCormick protection, but he walked
from the field unmolested.
Three Pitchers Bumped
To return to the contest Southpaw
Earl Hamilton, who started on th?
mound for the Pirates, held the Giants
hitless until the third inning, when he
was chased to cover after the New
Yorkers had pounded him for five solid
blows. "Whitey" Glazner was bumped
for another hit in that inning and he
lingered on the scene until the eighth
when he was taken out in favor of a
hitless pinch hitter. Chief Moses Yel
lowhorse pitched the final inning foi
George Gibson's clan.
The Giants scored all of their fiv<
runs in the third inning, but one tallj
would have been quite sufficient behinc
the classical pitching of Toney. Inci
dentally the same Mr. Toney drove ou
a single that sent the first two run;
clattering across the plate.
Rawlings opened the assault on Ham
ilton in the third inning with a singli
through Barnhart and took third whei
Snyder's short fly to left field fell jus
inside the foul line for two base?
Toney brought them both home wit]
a single past third base. Burns liftei
a fly to Robertson, but Bancroft drov*
a three-bagger to right center, scorin*
Toney.
Frisch came through with a two
bagger off the left field fence and Ban
croft completed the circuit. Glazne
replaced the battered Hamilton at thi
point and Young went out on a fly t
Carey. Kelly, however, shot a singl
to left and Frisch sprinted hom<

Meusel ended the uprising by lifting a
fly to Carey.
Glazner pitched well thereafter until
he was taken out in the eighth to allow
Rowher to bat for him. The Giants
passed up a fine chance to score an?
other run in the fifth inning, when an
attempted double steal went wrong.
Burns opened the inning with a
single to left. Bancroft fouled to
Barnhart and Frisch flied to Carey, but
Young poked a single to right, sending
Burns to third. Young set sail for
second, but was caught between the
bases and run down before Burns could
cross the plate.
After Cutshaw doubled in the sev?
enth inning with two out, Toney fanned
Barnhart.
Ross Young pulled a neat piece of
hase running in the eighth inning when
he sprinted from first base to the key?
stone after Bigbee had pulled down
Kelly's fly to left field.
The Giants not only won their ninth
consecutive game to-day since they
were defeated in the la?t game of their
recent series with the Braves, but they
also scored their ninth successive vic?
tory over the Pirates.
Nehf to Pitch To-day
Shufflin' Phil Douglas, who defeated
the Pirates twice in three days on their
last appearance at the Polo Grounds,
wanted to take the mound against the
Buccaneers to-day and again on Mon?
day, but Manager McGraw refused to
grant his request. From present indi?
cations Nehf will pitch against the
Pirates in the second game of the
series to-morrow. He will probably be
opposed by the veteran Babe Adams.
Manager George Gibson, of the Pi?
rates, was severely criticized by many
of the local fans for starting a left |
hander against the Giants to-day. The
New Yorkers had previously scored
three triumphs in a row apainst south?
paw pitching. Mitchell, of the Dodg?
ers, and Rixey and Marquard, of the
Reds, were the victims.

the newspapers.
The men asserted the plan was
purely a local one.

One Competitive Angle
Willie Hunter, British amateur golf champion, who will be among
those starting at St. Louis in quest of the main cup offered by the United
States, brings to light one of the quaint turns of competition. We asked
Hunter wl;ut he considered his hardest match in the British title hunt
at Hoylake, where' so many American stars went down as a brick may
skid from the* top of a skyscraper.
"My hardest match, or my closest match," he said, "was my easiest
one. One of my opponents was a man I had played with quite often.
I had been abk\ to start him 5 and 6 up without great trouble. ?n this
match I won th?\ first three holes, and from that point on I couldn't get
above his game. He wasn't setting off any fireworks, but I could no longer
drive myself to go at top speed. I knew it would be a nice thing to get a
big lead, win quickly and save that much walking. But I couldn't get going,
and we finally finished closer than any other match I had."
As Your Opponent Is
When Bobby Jo/ies in that same championship was nip and tuck
with Hamlet, an ordinary player, we asked him what the trouble was.
Both were then traveling at about an 87 clip, where Jones had turned
in a 74 against ManforcX, a topnotch player.
"His game is bad," ?said Bobby, "but I can't keep from playing as
he does. When he takes ;a 6, I take a 6, and if I try a little harder I take
a 7. If he could only get,some 3s and 4s I believe I could do the same."
At which point Hann'c.t topped his next two attempts, Jones missed
his next two and another siVriple fourth hole was halved in 6s.
And then again a heavy slump by your opponent works just the
other way, bringing renewed .confidence and greater poise. It all depends
?which is merely a statement-, and not an answer.
Mastering Short Holes
Hunter is a great believer i.U mastering short holes by constant play.
He worked out this scheme at R\oylake and won most of them during his
championship march.
He has been working out the same plan at St. Louis. He believes
that in a medal round scores are m^ade and wrecked on the short holes as
an average proposition, and that in'?match play the golfer who can come
to the four or five short holes with supreme confidence has a big edge.
Reserving', Power
Getting back to the competitive anj?le of tackling an opponent, Christy
Mathewson was one of the few pitchers who could get a lead on a weaker
club, pull up and take it easy and then tighten up again on a moment's
notice. When the average player slackens up he is never quite able to
hit his top stride again on short notice if the tide suddenly turns.
It's a great saving to be able to loaf ?along with a neat lead and so
reserve your speed and power.
But few can do it and then swing bac^ when threatened by an un?
expected drive.
A ball game has to go so many innings', anyway. But in the ring,
at tennis or golf the easiest way out is the shortest way out, to close out
the program as quickly as possible.
Luck of the Draw
The luck of the draw at St. Louis in the golf melee may play no
small part in deciding the next champion.
Last fall, at the Engineers, Tommy Armour wa\s going at top speed until
he suddenly found that the three men between him ayid victory were Ouimet,
Jones and Evans, in order. He had to beat these tliree to win. He knew
what the odds were against him and lost much of hi-s steam.
Unless the luck of the draw brings them together early and fojm
goes on through, Evans, Ouimet and Jones should reach the semi-final
round again. But not even an Evans could afford to- face Jones, Ouimet
and Bob Gardner on successive days with any grei\t hope of coming
through.
Hunter and Miss Leitch will be the last two British champions for
1921 to go after any American laurel. The odds against? Hunter are ex?
tremely heavy; but Miss Leitch will have a chance, although no better
than an even chance, against Miss Stirling.
When the season is completed the intersectional rouwd-up will be
even more interesting and much closer than the international. East,
West and South are grinding out excellent talent at a high Bate of speed
and the rivalry is now of the perfect type?keen but friendly.,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.?The
Meadow Brook Foxhunters won the
national junior polo championship to?
day by defeating the Philadelphia

of the tournament. The score was 17
goals to 3.
The Foxhunters came through the
tournament without a defeat, having

, was a walk-over for the Foxhunters.
, Their mounts were faster than their
opponents and their team work was
almo it perfect.
The offensive play of Rodman Wan
am?ker and F. S. Von Stade was the
outstanding; feature. Wanamaker
scored seven goals for the Foxhunters
i and Von Stride five. One of Von

56th Home Run
By Ruth Fails
To Aid Hugmen
Shocker, However, Fans the i
Babe on 3 Other Occa?
sions; Browns Win, 10-3
By Charles A. Taylor
The Yankees arc in second place!
His name Is Urban Shocker and he
hails from St. Louis, not because of
choice, but because of the fact that he
was sold down the Mississippi River by
the Yankees, whom he stood on their
collective heads yesterday afternoon
at the Polo Grounds. The score in
favor of Urban, sold to the Suburbans,
was 10 to 3.
It is true that "Babe" Ruth knocked
out his fifty-sixth home run of the sea?
son off this discard, but it is also true
that the Battering Babe fanned on each
of the three other times he appeared
at the plate.
Only ten thousand fans witnessed
the humiliation of the Hugmen, but it
was essential that they rest up a bit
after the batting orgies of the Yank3
on Thursday. They knew that Shock?
ing Shocker was going to pitch, but
they probably figured to themselves
that the bats of the despondent pen?
nant chasers would ring along merrily,
no matter who dished up the curves.
The fans who argued this way missed a
fine exhibition of pitching on the pnrt
of Urban the exiled.
Shawkey Not in Form
Bob Shawkey, who has not been
quite up to form in his last few start-,
I opened against Shockr;r and for th?c?
innings the duel between the two was
of the top-notch sort. In the fourth
however, the sluices were let loose, on
Bob the ex-Gob and four runs swam
over the plate.
With one out, Ellerbe smashed a
safety through Wally Pipp. Sisler, the
famous, banged a singie to right whirh
put Ellerbe on third. Home Run Wil?
liams shot a safe drive to right which
scored Ellerbe and put Sisler on third.
Mr. Joe Jacobson then knocked a nenr
home run. The big fellow smote the
ball to center, and while Elmer Miller
played tag with what was scored as
a double everybody raced home, in?
cluding Jacobson.
In the fourth, with two men out.
Babe Ruth put his home-run mark on
a still higher ledge by catapulting the
ball over the top of the right-field
stands and materially disorganizing the
alleged train service on the elevated
road. At least two trains were' hele
up, while those supposed to man them
scrambled for the spoils from the bat
of Ruth.
This mighty smash cheered al'
hands, for it was regarded as the firsl
symptom of a relapse by Shocker. Bu1
in the sixth the Browns renewed then
macing of Shawkey and drove him frorr
the mound. Ellerbe singled and war
forced by Sisler. Williams crashed one
at Ward, which hit Aaron in the face
and Sisler shot to third. The frenziec
Jacobson next banged a single ove:
short and Sisler and Williams scootec
homeward.
Losers Stage a Rally
With hope yet lingering in tri?
breasts of Colonels Ruppert and Hus
ton, who occupied one end of the "Pe.~
Box," the Yanks rallied in their hal
of the sixth and tallied two runs fo
themselves. "Chicken" Hawks, battinj
, for Shawkey, beat out a high boun-rle
to McManus and counted all the wa;
from first on Miller's double to center
Captain Peckinpaugh then wafted :
short fly over second,.on which Gerbe
and McManus got all cafiummixec
; with the result that the ball fell safe
Gerber was badly shaken up by hi
collision with McManus ?s the two bat
tied as to which should make the catel
and time was called. In the mean tim
Miller had scored.
With play resumed and the stage sc
for a real old-.ashioned batting fet
that would bury the Bothersom
Browns, Urban Shocker was so unpej
turbed that he fanned Babe Ruth an
Bob Meusel in a row and .squelched th
golden pvorr?ise.
Manager Miller called J. Frankli
Baker to the bat in the eighth, in p!:?c
o! Jack Quinn, who had meanwhi]
i relieved the abused Shawkey, but th
; Trappe farmer grounded to Sisler aft?
j a couple of healthy swings. Mill?
flied to center and a very questionabl
decision by Umpire Chill snuffed 01
Peckinpaugh after a hit to deep shoi
This was the last stand of the Yank
The predominant figure in the fini
session was Sisler, who with three m?
on base and Tom Rogers pitching fc
the Yanks, sent the ball into the lowf
tier of the right field stand.
