NEW YORK Wins AGAIN
Giants WaIIop Cardinals in Sec
ond Game of Series.
POUND HARMON FREELY
Home Nine Scores Eight Runs In
Third Inning on Seven
Solid Drives.

| Although rain interfered with the first
game the weather cleared sufficiently for
New York to wallop st. Louis by score
of TO at the Polo Grounds yesterday af-
! ternoon in the second game which was
scheduled. il was the twelfth consecutive
defeat for the visitors, and they appeared
+, be the most demoralized baseball nine
that has been seen here this year. The
Giants PLAYED rings around them IN the
field vet the work of the home nine was
nothing to brag about. Seven hits tailed
| eight runs in the third inning and put the
game on ice for New York. Then Harmon
retired from the mound in favor of Zmich,
who held the home nine fairly well. While
he was hit rather freely, New York Tailed
only one more run
The ony disagreeable feature of the game
from the New York point of view was that
McGraw was forced to waste a perfectly
good pitcher like Wiltse on such game.
Drucke started in the box and while the
Cardinals found him for only two hits Cap
| tain Larry Doyle sent him to the bench
when lie passed the first two men up In
the third inning This was before the
Giants had scored their eight runs and the
future was still dark.
Drucle pulled barry in the first inning

rum This appeared to unsettle the young
pitcher, although he put tho side out In
order in the second inning, striking out
Phelps and Zacher. Wiltse entered the box
under a big handicap, but held the Car
dinals runiess in the third. Later, how
ever, he was pounded hard, but kept the
hits scattered except in the fourth, when
the visitors scored three runs.
The New York outfield pulled off consld-
cradle spectacular fielding which enlivened
a rather dull game. In the first inning
Red Murray turned a backward sofner-
sault after making what seemed an impos-
sible catch of Evans's long fly labelled Tor

brilliant catches which the big right fielder
made He accepted seven chances without
an error Devore reached down for Zach
er's low drive in the fifth in time to eaten
the ball before it touched the ground, there
by shutting off two runs and retiring the
side.
The Giants did most of their scoring in
the third inning. Devore was safe on
Hausers error. while Doyle and Snodgrass

owed with single which brought Merkie
home Wiltse raped the ball at MoWrey
and was safe when Evans, who was playing
first i'll place of konetchy, was caught with
his foot off the bag. On his second time
up Devore was good for double, which
scored Meyers. Then Doyle singled ana
