Cravath may not be as fast as Ty Cobb, but those supposedly wooden feet carried him skimming across the field yesterday for one of the most re- markable catches ever seen on the Polo Grounds and one that sank the harpoon into the winning chances of the Giants. But for that catch there ‘would have been no éxtra innings and McGraw's men would have been one noteh nearer the first division, Fistoher were on the ‘bases in the peventh inning and bey save the day.

In other words, the gaine depended on that one play, and the honors of the day should go to Cravath. There is no apot in the Hall of Fame for men who make’ reat catches, but there ought to be. t might be a good idea occasionally to drop out one of the pitchers who twirl no-hit gems an and make room. It is one of Migeh>) he tricks of fate that George Chalmers, after having pitched nine innings of what should heave been shutout ball, does not Gok credit. for the toughest victory that Phil- lies have won since they started out like real pennant contenders.

The Giants also permitted Tesreau to get out before a black mark could be scratched across his twirling rec- ord, Poll Perritt went in with the score tied, and as the winning run in the eleventh was scored off him he must take the blame for the whole work, When Eddie Burns struck out for Chalmers in the ninth he gave the grand stand its one big laugh of the afternoon by announcing in a shrill t time I ever did that ‘a bad thi On Tues- Ting art waa not thought ‘That, incidentally, ts one of the! things the matter with the Giants, As ‘one of our statisticians has shown, Ty Cobb already has stolen more bases than all of the Gtants put together.
