MATHIS Finger Not Broken.

The Giants saved the pieces of the broken ST.
Louis series at the Polo Grounds yesterday Oy
winning the last game from the Cardinals by a
score Of II to Z. An examination under the A-saS
disclosed the fact that Matty's injured finger was
bruised, not broken. and the Quakers beat tne
Pirates over in Philadelphia. So, While the CUBS
beat Brooklyn the situation was less gloomy III

Tuesday evening. Matty won't be able 10 pleh III
