batted so hard. then ST. Louis might have
stood show. But the game was captured
by the Beaneaters in the second inning. and
although Joyce O'Neill blanked the visitors
for six innings after Durham had retired,
the Cardinals were sadly wanting in hits.
only three being negotiated off the delivery
OF Malarkey. Boston perpetrated a pair OF
errors in the eighth and that and nothing
else allowed a score and deprived Malarkey
OF a well-earned shutout. The score was
II to l.
The first game of the scheduled double
header was postponed on account of rain,
and the ground was in none too good con-
dttion for the second. The infield was
muddy and the outfield slippery, condi-
ton not suited to fast fielding. The damp
ness must also have Clogged the Cardinal
hitting machine
The game cost Donovan another catcher.
Arthur Nichols sustained a broken finger
in the second inning. and as Ryan is still
on the hospital list Jack O'Neill caught
the remainder of the game. When Dunham
was driven on the slab the O'Nsfll brothers
battery was called into play and did good
work
Malarkey Pitches Splendid Game.
Malarkey had splendid control of his
speedy shoots. He worked a wide outcurve
and quick drop TO perfection. and while
he struck out but one man. the Cardinals
could not put their hits In safe places
Joyce O'Neill was the first man to earn
his way to first. and that was in the sixth
inning. Donovan drew one hit and Brash-
ear credited with a scratch safety.
That was the extent Of the Cardinal bing
ling operations of the day.
Wiley Durham. while possessing plenty of
speed, did not have full control. and time
after time he would put them over just far

ians pounded him for keeps. Eleven men
faced Durham in the second inning for
total of six hits and seven runs. aided by
base on balls and three errors, theseIatter
being the contribution OF his assistants in
the field.
Courtney started the fun by drawing a
pass Morgan singled. bupt was forced al
hit to center and Moran scored after
Smoot had fielded the ball and stood for n
moment before throwing weakly 10 Far

this juncture. Malarkey's foul tip had done
its work, but Nick gamey STAYED in until

Cooley arrived at the plate in safety. Long

Durham appeared 10 have lost control Of
his curves. He hit Courtney when that
player came up for the second time. Moran
