Romooy wine MIND “Toe WAL Enables Giants to Turn Tables on Reds Maryland Farmer Proves Well Worth All That Manager McGraw Paid for Him. By Bozeman Bulger. HARLES LINCOLN HERZOG may not have shown brilliantly on the first day of his return to the fold, but on the second, well, listen: twice, thrice he put the Giants in the way of victory and, though they stood him off for a long our Maryland Canteloupe king finally bumped over the rubber with the winning run. Matty lost no pres. tige as @ manager and McGraw was vindicated. In other words, all ended well, But in spreading encomiums upon Charles Lincoln let us not forget that Dr, Davis Robertson of North Caro- lina alded and abetted in two ad- vances of the Marylander and that B. Jewelled Kauff contributed the wallop that broke up the pastime, It was C. Lincoln, though, who always started things. For instance, in the ninth, when all looked gloomy, rzog opened with a clean two base phot ng centre. Dr. Robertson's fieet- ness of foot oul first base and the fans grabbed their to crowd the exits, Now, what do you suppose Matty’ managerial mind did? his pitcher to give Kauff a base on balls and fill the bases, he did. Just why he di not know but it worked. Merkle, the next batter, fouled out to the catchor and H, Lobert struck out, Bill Rart, den rolled out to the pitcher and t ball game was practically flat on back, Fans went back to their seats. The same forces came to bat in the eleventh. Again Charles L. Her- zog “got on.” This time Dr. Robe; son, ignoring the bunt, slammed & long wallop into centre that put Cc.

As a general our former Mr. Mathewson is slowly but surely introducing to the great pastime new ideas, It is evidently his purpose to make a pitcher go the route whenever he steps into the bor for a start. In the opening game he did not have a pitcher warming up at any time, In the second he allowed one twirler in the bullpen, and even he pitched but a few balls, The man who atarted had to take hie medicine, and he did, There are many who Ddelieve Matty's idea a good one. Lots of fans hold the opinion that ball games are ruined by the frequent changing of pitchers. So far Matty has not taken a man from the boa, ‘The soundness of the Mathewson pitching policy was shown in the last halt of the ninth, when Toney ap- arently weakened, After filling the Bases with none out the usual policy te to yank that pitcher right out of there and trot in another, But Mathewson did nothing of the sort. Toney was told to stick on the job, and he proved that it was a good idea by retiring three men without per- mitting @ score, Jack Doyle, who sat with us in the press box, explaining that he was Going a little slumming, advanced an idea that ers may use to ad- ntare. vane often wondered,” said Jack, “why catchers did not throw away their mitts when throws were made 60 98 602 4 85 857 aT 654 “ous N, York. 40 43 .482 Brookiya..
