ANES WINS FOR GIANTS.
Proves Puzzle in Box and Holds
St. Louis to Five Hits.
SOME FAST WORK IN FIELD
Bridwell and Doyle Shine, While
Whole Team Plays Like
q Machine.

Lecn Ames had no difficulty in shutting
cut the St Louis Cardinals by a score of
TO at the Polo Grounds yesterday after
noon. The big pitcher was in sterling form
and allowed the visitors only five scattered
hits, while not a batsman got beyond sec
ond base.
The Giants supported him. TOO, in a way
TO warm the hearts of the fans" Sharp
and accurate fielding held the visitors down
at every turn Only two put-outs were
made by the outfeld. Devore and Seymour
taking care Of two flies. The infield han
died the other twenty-five and accepted
every chance without an error.
Larry Doyle made one of the most brill
liant plays of his career when, in the first
inning. he jumped three feet into the air
and pulled down one of Meyerss high
throws in time to catch Ellis, who was
trying to steal. He had the ball waiting
for Oakes, who tried TO pilfer a bag, i'm
mediately afterward. Bridwen played
wonderful game, fielding six hard ground
ers in snappy form Fast douole plays in
the fourth ard seventh innings, in which
both men were conspicuous, were other
features
The Giants backed up their fast work in
the field by clean hitting. Every man on
the list got at least one hit. Bridwell led
with two singles and triple, while Doyle,
Murray and Merkle lined out doubles
Eleven safeties, in all, were collected off
Corridans delivery in the first seven in
nings, while in the eighth, the only inning
which Backman pitched, New York punched
four hits.
Konetchy had an opportunity, which he
made the most of, TO show cause why he
should be called the best first baseman IN
the league. In the sixth inning, with Brid-
we'll on third and Deylin on second, Ames
laid down a grounder toward first. ko-
netchy whipped the ball unerringly to
Phelps in time to nip Bridwell at the plate,
Phelps returned the throw TO double AInes
at first, but was too late. Devlin in the
mean time was making dash for home,
and Konetchy threw again, true as a die,
and caught the runner. Phelps thus made
both put-ouIs in the double play, while
Konetchy got two assists.
The grievances which the players had
with the two umpires through their expert
enCes on Tuesday were further aggravated
yesterday. There was time in the fourth
inning when it locked as though the entire
infield of Giants would be banished. After
repeated attempts Ames apparently sue
ceeded in catching Evans HaI-Iooteo O4L
first, but Moran would nave none OF it.
There was considerable excitement for
time. Snodgrass. who didn't play in the
game at all and was more or less OF an
innocent passerby, sent to the club
house by Moran for dropping a remark 10
the umpire while on the coaching lines.
In the seventh inning Johnston made
matters worse by exercising his authority
in calling Doyle out at third when Moran
had ruled safe. Murray had dropped
short hit into left field. which Hauser re-
covered in time to nip Larry by quick
throw to MowreJ.
The Giants scored in the first inning,
Devore walking, going to third on Doyle's
double and tallying on Murray's grounder
to Higgins a single by Bridwel and
double by Merkle added another run in the
second while singles by Seymour and
Meyers. a double by Devlin and Evans's
error were responsible for two runs in the
fourth Deyore and Doyle singled in the
seventh and Murray doubled, scoring one
run. while four hits punched of OF Back
man in the eighth tailed two more.
