RED PERIL iS
STUBBORN FACT
Giants Will Have Tough
Road to‘ Hock—Reds
Look Good.
The Red peril is no longer consider-
ed any Jest in the Giant camp. After
the Giants have been dawned in six
straight games by these relentless rid-
crs from Cincinnati. even the most
rabid Giant booster must admit that
there is a bright scarlet hue on the
horizon.
Cincinnati now is being figured to
win by many smart baseball men.
There are. three things in favor of the
Reds. They have pitchers. They have
thirty-four more game. with the Phil-
lies and Braves. whereas the Giants
have only twelve games left with these
clubs. Cincinnati closes the season at
home and the Reds always hme been
a. great home club.
The Giants won't go down without
a fight. They looked a. though they
‘ were tottering last season in midsum-
mer, but just when the club was ex.
ported to break they made one 0'
their host road trips and played all
{our of the Western teams or! their
feet.
The present Giant lead OVC'i‘ Pitts
burg has been shaved down to two
and a halt games,and over Cincin-
nati to two and a. half games. The
champions have lost one game less
than Pittsburg. while Cincinnati has
lost twenty-eight games against
twenty-five for New York. Since mida
1119 May. howmexer the Reds have play-
ed the entire National League. includ-
. ing the Giants. of! its feet.
There is no use in blinding one'd
eyes. either, to the manner in which
the Reds have abused the world's
champions. The last game the Giants
won from Cincinnati was on May 1‘.
when Hughio McQuillaa nosed out
Eppa Rlxey. l to o. a bonehe' throw
by Duncan putting Frisch in itioh
to score the only run of the game on
a sacrifice fly.
Since then the Red. have defeated
the Giants by scores of I to I. O to b
atoo. 9toi.4t02and5tol. Mott
of these games have been close and
the Reds have managed to Win thlhl
because their pitchers have been jolt
a little more steady t n McGrsw"... ‘
Cincinnati is playi with a dash
and confidence in itself which are
quite marked. The club has the spirit
of a college team. The Reds make
blunders and bad plays. In winning
their games on the Polo Grounds Bats

of stu dplaying. One can point is

Yet the Reds twice defeated the

nine~tenths of the players never think
of observing them. except when com-

compliance with~saJd regulations is

is been ling more general all the time.
