By Bozeman Bulger. OST any one of the 40,900 fans who saw the Reds beat the Giants yesterday would pick the Reds to win the pennant. It is Uke the wheel that gets rolling and cannot stop, They have an inde- scribable something that the Giants have not. There was no mistaking the presence of an edge in the open- ing emash, You may call it pep, morale, éeprit or a feel for the first time of the World’s Series money. But whatever we may call it, that isn't exactly it. ‘There is something about the way those Reds go after an opportunity that makes one feel they are going to sink’ their teeth in it and shake ont a run. The Giants fought just aa Bard and, aside from an error or two, | played just as spectacular bali, but all the time one felt one’s self pull- ing for something that was missing. duce the run, That little difference in the vigor of the shake wag the difference between the Giants and the Reds in fighting spirit. The Giants are old timers at the pen- nant winning business and the Reds are fresh youth burnt for the first time with the fire of success, It’s going to be mighty hard to deny that youth its fling. On paper, MoGraw's team figures, probably, to be a winner, but that fighting morale of the Reds can not be put on paper. Still, those 40,000 saw it count. This morning the Reds are six and ® half games in the {ead and there remain about forty-five games to be played, Unless there is @ ter- rible slump on Pat Moran's team, that lead is a tough handicap, even with the Giants playing in tip-top form Having played to the largest crowd ever seen on the Polo Grounds, the Giants and Reds meet in another double header to-day. If the weath- er is good the enormous gathering wilt be duplicated. Not one of the 40,000 yesterday failed to get his money’s worth in thrills, even though the finish was disappointing. It was baseball as baseball should be. The roars that went up for the home club at any break of luck or offer of hope was deafening, but the counter applause for any skill or cleverness on part of the visitors was almost as great. It was more like great college football game, the whole affair reflecting an atmosphere of real sport—and sportsmanship. At one time in the first game when the Giants made a rally the crowd felt and gave a thrill that was a . In fifteen years at the Polo Grounds I have never seen anything like it, The alr was filled with flying Bullivan va. Jimmy Vi sh K. va. ve.

But the rally did not materialize, And it waa) the redoubtable Benny Kauff, the fielding of the da; yy, who had The Giants had one run was retired. At the begfhning of the afternoon the whole affair reminded one of @ World's Series. In the enormous) crowd there was a sort of tenseness. The players felt it, and there began jons as to which club would crack first. It was the Giants who) cracked. e break came in the third inning. One misplay gave the Reds the game. With one out Rath walked. Dau- bert bounded a ball to Nehf. The young pitcher took his time, but then made a low and wide throw to first which Chase could not hold. The run- ner was safe, and that one play ruined the day for the Giants. Groh walked, filling the bases. Roush ‘ut a long fly to Young and Rath scored, But for Nehf's bad play this would have been the third out and no score would have been possible. This seemed to unnerve Nehf a little. He hit Neale and again filled the hases. Kopft’s single scored two runs. Those) three runs won the ball game. Heinie Groh and Kopf played marvellous ball throughout both games and thelr work was largely responsible for the double victory. In addition to his base running in the third, Groh drove a long home run Into right centre and also made a single. Larry Doyle, while fielding a grounder, injured his leg again and had to leave the game, Baird taking his place. Larry may be out for two or three days. It was Sherwood ee. Old “Sherry,” aa he is popularly called in New York, who delivered the telling blow for the Reds in the second game. Sherry appears to have entirely covered from his long illness and is hitting and fielding as hard as ever. New Yorkers always enjoy seeing Magee do well, Mique Gonzales, the Cuban catcher of the Giants, was the hero of the second game. His clean steal of home while old Slim Sallee was winding up gave the Glants their only run. It was a clever bit of work. Before Sallee could stop his wind Gonzales was half way to the plate and by a perfect slide beat the catcher’s touch, Considering the size of the crowd the Giant management handled the affair very creditably. There was quite a crush at, the gates around 1 o'clock, but everybody managed to get in for the early half of the first game. The crowd was emptied out of the stunds after the game in exactly brelve minutes. Better go early to- ay ’ Two familiar and popular faces to baseball were Jesse Burkett, who at ome time could bust ‘em, and Arthur win, the veteran player, organizer and author. It looked good to see those old birds around, Shuffiin’ Phil Douglass pitched a game against the Reds in the C affair, and but for an error by Fletcher, which paved the way for two runs in the fourth inning, bh would have scored a shut-out. No matter how good a man pitches, how- ever, it ls very dificult to win when the club makes but one run behind him. Sallee was hurling for the Reds and was as masterful as in his palmi- est days, The Giants made but three hits off the old Sheriff and those were widely scattered, —— Glnote ve, Cincinnati —Tw Polo Grounds, Yale Football Team Is Sure to Possess _A Pu Ed Eagan, Amateur Boxer, Who Won Middleweight Title by Scoring Three Knockouts in Less Than Thirty-Two Seconds Each, to Enter University at New Haven. , By Alex Sullivan. 'ALE'S football team is sure to possess a punch this season! It will be furnished by Edward P. Eagan, a twenty-one-year-old lad from Denver, who has just returned from France, where he won the middle- weight clgmplonship in the Inter- allied games in the Pershing Stadium. And Eagan is mighty proud, too, of the snapshot he carries around with him of Gen, Pershing pinning the medal on him. Eagan, who won the national heavyweight championship at the tournament conducted by the A. A. U. in Boston last April, was sent to the big meet in Paris by the amateur body. \ ent in Paris lasted longer rin, champion of Belgium. fingls he met Marcel Thomas, cham- pion of France, Not only did Hagan win the Inter- allied medal but he was awarded a splendid medal by the French Min- ister of War, Ed Eagan was only recently’ mus- tered out of the army, having been a second lieutenant in the field artillery. Ho was stationed at Mong f Zachary Taylor, Louisville, where he taught horsemanship. He was, figuratively, born on a horse, as it was on a ranch in Colorado that he first saw the light of day. He learned to box by taking on cow-punchers in bouts arranged to alleviate the monotony of life on the plains. He soon became the kingpin boxer of the State, and he entered the ists for the Western, middjeweight and heavyweight titled and brought home the bacon in both classes in 1916, “T have no intention of becoming a professional,” said Eagan. “I box for the sport of the thing. I only hope that up at Yale they have plenty of good men, so that I can have some etiff opposition In the boxing line. “IT want to say right here that if Georges Carpentier ever steps in the ring with Jack Dempsey it will be nothing short of murder.
