Adams has been the Giant's Nemesis all year, has scored # couple of shutouts against them, and when he was taken out of the game at the end of the fourth inning by George Gibson, after being battered for four big runs, the Giants were jubilant. It} looked us if they had overthrown thelr | Jinx for good and all. Nehf had been invincible for six| frames. He had held the Pirates to} three singles, two of which came after two men’ were out, and was going along | strongly. With a five-run lead no one gave Nicholson a thought when he doubled to start the seventh. Whitted | popped to Doyle and then the big crash came. Schmidt singled to short, Nichol- son taking third. Barbare hit safely to right, Nicholson scoring, and Schmiit stopping at second. McKechnie singled to left and Schmidt went in. Lee rat: ted for Wisner, who had succeeded Adams, and clouted a single to centre scoring Barbare and putting McKechnic on third, Still McGraw made no move to change his pitcher. Bigbee shot A single to right and McKechnie scored. | Southworth forced Bigbee and Lee went to third and then Douglas was hurried into the box. Cutshaw hammered a long fly to right centre. King muffed it and Lee and Southworth both scored, | carrying in the tying, and as it proyed afterward, the winning run, The Giants “started | off gayly an | Adams, Burns was safe on a fumble | by Barbaree, and on Bancroft’s single | took second.

Poor base running cost the Giants « run or two in the third. Frisch doubled to left to start the frame. Kelly doubled against the lett fleld fence, but Frisch thought the ball. might be ‘caught, and waited until it hit the barrier, #0 he only made third. If he had been on his toes he could haye scored, and Kelly could have, made third on the hit. As it was, King’s long sacrifice fly scored Frisch, and. Kelly held second. Doyle and Smith were out on easy grounders. In the fourth Nehf doubled to right, and, when Southworth threw wildly passed second, he raced all the way to the plate, 'Burna and Young fo »wed with singles, but Bancroft was un dowp between third and }.ome on | Frisch's bounder, and Kelly ‘left two men stranded with an infleld pop.

By Vincent Treanor. 'M sick!” A characteristic Jimmy Rowe expression. The Whitney trainer wasn’t actually suffering from any physical ailment. He was mentally sick. The $90,000 Hopeful Stakes had just been run at Saratoga and Prudery, the apple of Rowe's eye, had been beaten @ nose after a most thrilling race, in which she had come from twenty lengths behind the win- ner, Leonardo TI, only to be beaten by the width of a pencil, Rowe's face was a study. He was standing with a few friends under the shade of the grandstand alnwst oppo- site the judges’ pagoda. Apparently he was thinking hard like a man who | wished to be alone with his thoughts. | As other friends passed near they sympathize with him. \ i “She was best,” said one, Another | remarked that it was too bad and still | another ventured to suggest that with | an even break Prudery would have | walked away from Leonardo II. | Rowe wasn't looking for consolation. | He knew all that his well-meaning friends were telling him. When he| couldn't stand it any longer he walk- ed over to the cigar stand and pointed to a box. “Forty cents," said the Harry Stev- ens employee who deals out the smokes, Rowe bit off the end of a big black cigar and remarked: “Forty cents? Why, you're getting as bad as the cab drivers up here,” He then walked | away alone. Rowe felt the sting of defeat and he showed it. It was very plain that the result of the Hopeful had disap- pointed him. He had sent a great filly to the post, one which had only on Saturday last won probably the most sensationa) Spinaway ever run. He banked on her winning the Hope- ful too, not so much because of its $80,000 value, which at that isn't to be sneered at, but because of the prestige it meant nat only to the filly but to him, ‘A trainer long enough to know that the chief interest in racing les In its uncertainty, Rowe was plainly per- turbed. He'knew better, perhaps, than any ono else in the great crowd that had been thrilled by the struggle that with a share of racing luck Prudery might have reversed the order at the finish. The racing charts give one a fair idea of the Hopeful, but one had to be present to know the real story. One had to see Leonardo II. break from his third position at the post and go immediately to the front, as he always does. One had to have his eyes focused on Oriole and Smoke Screen right behind him, and then cast them back toward the middle of the bunch to find Prudery tn much the same position as she had in the Spinaway, only this time her chances of getting anywhere near the front appeared to be more hopeless. There she was, about eighth in the fleld of fifteen and apparently well hemmed in, As Leonardo IL, Oriole and Smoke Screen raced on toward the stretoh turn the race looked solely between the trio. The quarter pole just before the turn for home saw Prudery running, but badly ham- pered, There Were six horses in front of her. She was moving in the direction of the leaders, but there was no rail opening for her ag there was in the Spinaway. Ambrose, her rider, had to come to the outside, to the overland course, as racegoers say. ‘This was at A cost Of valuable ground, but Ambrose could find no other Voahell, because of the heavy going, | {ture strokes, but he knows. how pf wepraren : to fathom the opposing —attre failed to get to the net and was forced |Harte early in the match disclosed to play a baseline game with Will-| weakness with his ground strokes‘ jand the wily Californian lost. lt. time popping the ball in the fog of his shue tops.

It wasn't Leonardo's fault that Prudery didn't get away on her toes with him and make it a duel all the way. On the contrary, it Is to the credit of Leon- ardo II, that he outbroke his opposi- tion, went into an early lead and kept it all the way although pressed every step of the s!x-furlong journey. H had to possess extraordinary speed to do this and he #howed he wasn't lack- ing in any of the requisites which go to make up a great thoroughbred. It's idle to speculate on what Prudery might have done. She didn’t do It and to the victor belongs all the honor that can be showered on him. Kimball Patterson, the trainer of Leonardo, merits a word or two of praise. “Kim,” as his friends eal him, was as confident as any trainer could reasonably be sending a candi- date to the post In a $30,000 stake. ‘I think Leonardo will win. He is nervous and fractious, but that's trait to be expected in’ all good, high strung thoroughbreds,” “Aren't you afraid of the Whitney horses?" he was asked, “Not a bit.” replied Patterson. “I have won two Hopefuls and this Js going to be Diamond Dust ‘Rogers Hornsby, the sensationad second sacker of the St. Loulstéam, continues to hold the batting lé@@ im the National League.
