Two really pretty plays were made in the
course of the game, both by St. Louis
players. These occurred IN the fourth and
seventh innings, and were two running
catches, made, respectively, by Barclay and
Nichols. Jones was at the bat in the fourth

VisitOrs' Sole Run.
This closed the score for St Louis but
at that it appeared as IL they were certain
To whitewash the visitors. The solitary
run made by the visitors was in the opening
half of the ninth, when the Giants showed |
a hash of speed. which would have fur
nished an interesting contest had IL been
earlier in the game. Bowerman
opened the period inauspiciously by flying

brought the. affair to close by flying out
to Hartman.
Ryan and Murphy proved a far stronger
combination throughout than did Evans
and Yeager. and team work by the Cardi- |
nails was far superior TO the sleepy exhibit
ton put up by the visitors. Umpire O'Day
did good work throughout the game, al

grandstand.
