THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, TOO MANY SUITORS NEVER BOUGHT A WEDDING TROUSSEAU UNLESS IT WAS ON THE INSTALMENT PLAN. ~ BRAVES HAD BEST GHANCES, BUT GIANTS’ CLASS TOLD Game at Polo Grounds a tins Affair Until Eighth a When George Burns B: Field Stands and Scored a Run Ahead of Him. By Hugh S. Fullerton. Coprriaht, 1918, by The Pres Publiddns Co, (The Now York Evening World.) as a real baseball game at the i’olo Grounds yesterday, and the Giants, hard pressed, finally managed to win and keep their record clear eo that the slogan of 154 victories still files. It was a great game until the eighth, when George Burns walloped the first ball that Art Nehf pitched into the right fleld stands, sent home a run ahead of him and clinched it. The game was @ = demonstration of a . class, Boston had Rate more and better chances to score than the Giants had, had more opportunities, and only succeeded in making it close. Tho Giants made the most of every chance, forced their attack when openings presented, and outplayed Boston on tho defensive. True, the breaks of the game all were against the Braves, but the difference between the teams was not difference in luck but difference in ability. In the first four innings the Braves ought to have had the game laid away on ico; and there was plenty of ico in the air on which to let it repose. In the first inning Massey had {ll luck because a dase hit touched his trousers as it whiezed off Herzog*s bat into right field. That was during the Braves’ attack which routed Barnes, In that assault Stallings'’s men got two runs. They lost another in the third be. cause Ross Young made one of his marvellous throws that cut Herzog down at third base wh if he would walk che They lost another in the fourth (by {Il luck be- cause Tesreau half blocked a base hit and diverted the ball so that a runner held at third while the batter thrown out. On the part of Boston the game ts one long wal of hard luck, and the game illustrates better perhaps than is any that has been played this year the fact that fortune favors those who woo it most ardently. Tho Giants got a run in the first inning chiefly because of a kidding match which caused, or help cause, Smith to let Ross Young's hard bounder escape through him. Young reached eecond, and by sheer speed went to third when Kauff filed to Wickland. ‘That called the Hoston in- field to the middle distance and Burn: line drive went one and an eighth inches over Rawlings's fingers. Raw playing too close, anyhow, and h been back, the hit would have straight smash into his hands, In next inning Fletcher eingled and Dowell made a remarkable catceh of Holk long high drive to centre. Then Me: Carthy dropped a short lob hit into right centre, Powell slipped in the wet grass, ploughed a furrow that would | was a ne have made Hoover happy and he and| Wiekland scrambled around for the ball until Fletcher scored all the way from first base. And that was all until the elgnth, when Kauft worked Nehf for a base on balls and Burns hit the first ball pitched to him over the wall in right for a home run. - HE real reason for the Giants’! fifth victory was that Nehf was a} tired and weary man, He had ar- rived in the morning after three days’ travelling on all sorts of trains and yejoined the club to be ordere| work. Nehf always has been effect against the Giants and Stallings evi- to beat dently figured him Barnes, who was the McGraw selection. Nebf started working easily, but it was evident in the second inning that he was straining too hand when he tried to put much stuff on the ball, and before the aecond round was over ho had lost that graceful, easy arm mo- tion and was showing signs of arm weariness. Ho came back rested, and yet, inning after inning, he seemed to | be tiring, and even in the seventh ft it looked as | 8] anged Out a Hit Into Right was sharper and faster than that of the Braves and they atacked wita more confidence and ability. i HE study of the games won by | the Giants reveals an odd thing, | which is the importance of having strong, accurate outfielders. Of the hres Brooklyn games, New York | saved, if It did not win, two by sheer | ‘orcs of outfield throwing. Possibly, with equal throwing power in the} outfield Brooklyn would have taken two If not three of those games. Two raliles, in which Brooklyn appeared | to be on the verge of winning, were | stopped by remarkable throws fron | Burns, and yesterday the turning play really was Young's wonderful throw that caught Herzog five feet off third. Many of the fans blamed Herzog for attempting to go froin first to third on the hit, yet it uns | doubtedly was the proper play. Tho hit was not fast, It went over soggy ground to right field and Young, com- ling forward at top speed, scooped the ball as If he had been playing short- | stop and threw to third, so that all | Zim had to do was to look innocent | and wait for the ball to beat Herzog | to the base | OTH teams were on edge and! fought and argued all the time, , yet actual play was slow and draggy, | The time required to play the first | three innings was one hour and three minutes, Much of the delay was oc- casioned by loitering tactics in changing sides and in slow pitching | in spite of the efforts of Bill m (whose name it not to be deleted be- | cause of recent rules) to make the athletes hurry.
