CONTIMTTED FROM FIRST PAGE. opening; battle from the Cardinals after XX furious rounds last April, allowed only one Pirate blngle for the first Ave innings, but was plunked With the utmost severity in the sixth, when four clean, hard singles and a crashing triple from the club of Carson Bigbee earned four large and ornate tallies for the enemy and put them temporarily in the lead. Pete showed that be could come back after this misfortunae, for he pitched the seventh inning in perfect style, getting the aide in order on three easy chances. But the Pirates were now -one run ahead, and no amount of good pitching could save the day unless the Reds could score (another run or two. 1 So when Pete' came up to lead off in the last half of the seventh Man-jager Hendricks wisely removed him 'in favor of George Harper1 as pinch hitter.

George drew a walk from the tiring Morrison, but could not ba shoved 'around. But Pete was now out of tbe picture, and Tom Sheehan, leading hurler of the minor leagues last year and hailed as wonderful finisher. lived up to his reputation in that re spect by blanking the pesky Pirates for the last two rounds and holding them safe until the Reds could first tie It up and then win it out for him. Tom would have acred the win ning run himself ha! he not been re- the "Cobb Ty" Over in Detroit Ty Cobb yesterday began his second season as Tiger manager. Here in Cincinnati the opening day ceremonies were attended by the "Cobb Ty," the new Potter blucher effect in Toney Tan or in Black Calf.

Meanyhile the Reds were steadily increasing their lead and it proved to be the height of intelligence to do so, for they needed everything they made after the Pirate rally in th4 sixth. Hargrave started! his batting career by leading off with a single in the second, the first Red blngle, But he was forced by LSohne on a great defensive play by Traynor, and Pinelli's single was wasted when Ca veney filed to Barnhart and Donohue fanned.

Better luck in the third, which Burns opened with a double to right and scored on Dauert's single to center. Having failed to achieve any re sults wttn a single, tried a three-bagger to center in the fourth ana Sammy sent nlm home with a clean single to left. Pinelll walked, but Caveney hit to Morrison for a double play. Wright, however, had one more wild throw in his system and he emitted It on Pete's bounder, Pinelll scoring from second and giving the Reds a three-run lead. This looked to plenty and then some the way Pete had been breezing along, but there is nothing at all certain in i the pastime.

The Pirates, helpless for Ave innings, surged into the sixth with ferocity and pounded Pete's slants to many distant locations. Maranville and Carey led oft with singles. Bigbee failed to bunt and then had a much brighter idea. His long blow down the right foul line went into the crowd of standees for three bases, driving in two runs, and the slugger scored the tying Jally on Traynor's long fly to Roush. They still were not through with Pete, scoring another run and taking the lead on sharp hits by Barnhart and Wright and a sacrifice fly by Grimm.

Schmidt Grounds To Donohue. Pete finally got Schmidt, the eighth man up in the round, on a grounder to the box. Donohue came1 back strong in the seventh, getting the side in order, but the Reds had failed to score in the sixth, although Hargrave led off with a single and went to sec ond on a wild pitch and it was necessary to acquire another tally. So Harper went to bat for rete in the last half of the seventh and drew a pass, only to be left when the three top men In the batting order went out on Infield chances. It was Bubbles who came to the front in the eighth with his second triple, a tremendous drive among the crowded populace in deep left field.

Bohne got one nearly as far, but Carey raced under It for the out. Bubbles scoring the tying run after the catch, while the stands rocked with enthusiastic, applause. Sheehan, who went to the mound In the eighth, got the side in order for that round, but had to labor to get through the ninth. With one out, Grimm and Schmidt smote singles. Mueller batted for Morrison ana popped foul to Daubert.

but Maranville walked, filling the bases. Carey hit an earnest blow, but Caveney popped up from somewhere or other and clutched the liner for the third out. If it had been a foot or two further to the left, It would have gone on through and scored two runs, but fortune was tooting its horn for the Reds on this occasion. Meadows Succeeds Morrison. With Morrison out, Meadows went in to keep the Pirates in the game, but he was too uncertain of the loca tion of the plate to accomplish his purpose.

He got Caveney on a grounder to Wright, but passed Tom Shee- Lhan. Burns, the regular ninth-inning hitter, came along with a zipping single to right, which rattled the spectacled hurler Into walking Daubert and filling the bases, with only one out At this point. Manager Hendricks made the clever move of taking Sheehan off third base and sending in the speedy Hock to count the tally In case Roush could meet the ball. Eddie could do His long fly to left was so far. out that Bigbee made no attempt to head off Hock at the plate, after he had caught the ball, and the fast little outfielder had the honor of choice to bring home a Pirate victory.

but he waa not so masterly aa he was a year The Reds plugged steadily along at his puzzling benders and gave him many an anxious moment. Chief his annoyances was Bubbles Margrave, one of the real sluggers of the sport, who opens his season in the most brilliant manner alt the bat by accumulating a perfect record for the day with two clean singles and two lordly triples out of four times up. Eoth of his singles were wasted, owing to the failure of the men be hind him in the batting order, but his two three-baggers were potent factors in the tabulation of the victory on tho Red side. Bubbles led off in the rally In the fourth round, when the Reds laid up a store of two important tallies for their future advantage, and it was his second triple, coming in the eighth inning, which tied tht score and kept our noble athletes in the game Boras Hlta Effectively. The hitting of George Burns was also highly effective.

in the last two exhibition games with the Cleve land Indians, George came through in the ninth with a clean hit of the utmost value, the only blow off Mead ows and a ieclsive one. Hargrave and Burns divided two thirds of the Red hits between themselves, and scored four of the' six runs which were needed to humble the hopes' of the enemy. With the exception of two wild throws by Jimmy Caveney, whose arm has not yet reached a high state of accuracy, the support given the Red pitchers was admirable. Babe Pinelll was the Infield star, with some very handsome assists his, credit. Captain Daubert was his usual self at the first corner and there is none better.

Eddie Roush covered a world of territory in the middle pasture and the throwing of Burns and Dtincan was right to the mark. It was a tough day for the shortstops, for Glenn Wright, hailed as the young fielding sensation of the league, kept pace with Caveney by emitting two mad hurls to first base, each of which cost a run. 1 Pie Traynor, the long guardian of the hot corner, was the most active Pirate on the defense, while the throwing of Walter Schmidt blocked down every attempt of the Reds to pilfer. Reds Have Shade. In general, the Reds had just the necessary shade both at the bat and in the field and, while the winning run in the ninth round was assisted hugely by the wildness of Meadows, the victory was clean-cut and decisive.

The game opened in ft spirited manner, with the Reds getting good breaks in their favor In both halves of the first session. Pete issued his only pass to the Rabbit, first man up in the new season. On a hit-and-run play, Carey lined swiftly to right field, a keen smack which would have been good for three bases if it had gone through between the pastures. But the ball sailed straight Into the eager clutch of George Burns and, as Marranvllle was off with the crack of the bat, and was not Immediately informed that the ball was going to be caught, he was easily doubled up at first base, thus relieving a tense situation. In their half of the round, the Reds took a one-run lead without the formality of making a hit.

Burns grounded to Wright, whose wide throw shot past Grimm and George rushed all the way to second. Dau-bert's clever sacrifice put him on third. Roush grounded to Maranville, who first fumbled the ball and threw wild to the plate In his, haste to head off the runner, and George scored the first tally of the new year. The Pirates knotted the count In the second, thanks to an error by Caveney and the only hit made off Donohue In the first five rounds. Traynor grounded to the short field, but Jimmy's throw pulled Jake off the' bag and the runner was safe.

Barnhart sent Pie to third with a line single to right-center. Wright lifted a Texas Leaguer into short left It looked as If Duncan was going to get up on the ball, and he made a heroic effort to do so, but it slipped through his hands as he dove forward for it, and Traynor rushed home from third. But Barnhart was completely deceived by the play and stood at first base so long that Pat retrieved the ball and forced him at second.
