ELLIS MARS THE RECORD
New York Manages to Collect
Two Runs from Steele and
Win the Game.

tween Rube Marquard and a no hit, no
run game in the contest between the
Giants and the st. Louis Cardinals at the
Polo Grounds yesterday. Save for a safe
drive TO left field by Ellis in the seventh
inning. the Cardinals never were near

was small wonder that the Giants won by
the score of 10 0. Except for few anX-
ious moments in ninth inning. when

game hlled the bags, the result was never
in doubt although the Giants did not ma

Msrouard let only four men reach first
base during the first eight innings. one on
a base on balls one through hitting the
hatsman. another because Merkle made
wild toss and the last on the only hit OF
the game He began well, finished well
and pitched we'll throughout Not once did
ne lose his GOODNESS. even In the maj
inning. when the misplay Of his team
mates So nearly cost him the humiliation
OF losing such a superbly pitched contest.
For six innings not single st Louis bats
man was able TO get the proverblal sem
hlance Of "a hit. and in the last two innings
Marquard was master likewise. Ellis, the
only one 10 connect for a hit, helped his
team not bit. and aided the Giants con-
siderably by overrunning his single and
heina caught at second on Snodgrass
throw-in. Nine men struck out and eleven
pere out on balls hit into the air Ihls
state Of affairs makes il plain that the IN
6elders had little or nothing to do. Prob
AanIv if they had had more to keep them
busy they would not have made the mis-
PLAYS that all but nullified all of Mar
, guards good work.
Steele. who did the twirling for the Cardi-
nails. was none too liberal, as the Giants
discovered for only in the second
inning. when the McGraw clan punched
out three of their total OF seven hlts Tor
their two runs were they able TO MT
steele with any sort Of consistency. lie
was almost as cool as the New YORK
twirler. and he found himself in more try
ing situations once IN the NTH inning the
. Giants had the bags filed, and in the hrst
and sixth rounds they had two men on the
, bases But Steele was steady ana pre-
