GIANTS CRAWL Up A BIT
Defeat St. Louis Again, with
Marquard in the Box.
NOW IN SECOND PLACE
Cardinals Make Only Five Hits,
While "Rube" Hammers Out
Three Himself.

st. Louis. July M.-Roger Br,snahar
shook hands with himself quite cordially
before to-day's game started, thinking that
McGraw had run out of southpaws and
that ST. Louis had a chance TO win; but
the Little Napoleon fooled them all again
and sent Rube Marquard. who held the
Cardinals to four hits on Saturday, back
to the mound, with the result that the
Giants captured their third victory Of the
series. The score was 10 2. The New
Workers profited by the defeat OF the Phil
lies at the hands OF the Cubs. and climbed
back into second place. just game and
half from the top OF the heap.
The mighty Rube registered his thirteenth
victory with the ease with which he won
his other twelve. After so short rest he
was not up to another shut out. but he was
a marvel of effectiveness at every stage OF
the game, allowing only five hits and giving
three passes In four of the nine innings
II was one, two. three for the home team
and whenever n squeeze came Marquard
was master OF the situation. But there Is
another word to be added about the lanky
southpaw. Rube changed his style of bat
ting yesterday and decided to become a
right hand hitter Three singles in -four
trips to the plate proved the wisdom of the
change Two of the hits came with men on
the bags and resulted in two Of the Giants
three runs.
Slim Sallee endeavored TO repeat his
triumph of the first game Of the series. ou'
was not equal to the occasion. He LASTED
only four innings while the Giants pounded
him for eight hits and three runs. lie was
weakening so rapidly that Bresnahan took
him out and put in another southpaw by
the name Of Loudermlk. brother Of the
pitcher who finished yesterdays game
Loudermilk yielded three scattered hits In
three innings and retired in favor OF Bliss
a pinch hitter, so that Golden finished the
struggle. The Giants raped out total OF
twelve hits. SnodgraSs and Marquard get
ting three hits apiece, while Meyers and
Murray made a single and double. DeVore

The Giants gave Marquard the very best
three errorless games in row The whole
machine rolled on resistlessly over the
PROSTATE Cardinals. The series for the
year now stands with nine victories for the
Giants 10 six defeats, so that one cham-
pionship contender is disposed OF for
a while. The Giants kept up the speed on
the bases, and although Roger Bresnsha
himself took his turn behind the bat TO
keep them from running wild. they got
away with FIVE differed bags. making the
total OF stolen bases for the series number
twenty-three. which comes near to break
ing all records for four consecutive games.
