GIANTS DRIVE CUBS
INTO FOURTH PLACE
Hard Hitting and Clever Base

Eight TaIIieS.
TESREAU HIS TRUE SELF
Holds the Dreaded Foe from
Chicago to a Pair of
Runs, Which Look
Mighty Puny.

Casting aside all that spirit Of bravado
of their work this season-the Giants
made holiday for some eight thousand
fans" Yesterday afternoon by trouncing
the Chicago Cubs in handsome fashion
and driving them back to fourth place
Big Jeff Tesreau, the mighty hunter OF
the Ozark Hills. acted as a kill-joy for
the Jubilant Western spirits. and under
his depressing influence the invaders
lost much of the fine championship edge
which has distinguished their work
heretofore and relapsed into some small
town stuff. The score was to in
favor Of New York

been displaying fair form this spring.
but who never before had the assurance
TO start game against the minions or
McGraw, was named by Roger Bresna-
han. acting manager. 10 fight IL out with
Tesrcau. The youngster always has had
a tendency to wildness and gave little
evidence Yesterday of having overcome
his bad habits. Some hard and timely
hitting by the champions in the first six
innings. in which seven safe drives were
punched for four runs revealed the fact
that Toney was not all that might be
desired for crucial battle. SO when
the seventh inning came around he was
invited TO retire to the cool of the bench.
His successor was Ed Ruelbach.

Roger Bresnahan. too. felt il incumbent
to relieve Archer at this time. The re-
suit was a most hilarious stanza. The
Giants not only found Ruelbach for two
singles and a double. along with pass
but lost no time in testing the arm OF
their old pal Roger. Both Larry Doyle
and Charlie Herzog as soon as they
reached first, went TO second on the first
hall Ruelbach pitched, and each time got
away with a stolen base. This same
pair had ilched second on Archer earlier
in the fray. so Roger was not shown up
too badly.
But the most pathetic incident of the
frame occurred with Murray on second
and one out. The blond right fielder
started TO steal third. but was caught In
the act by Ruelbach who tossed to Zim-
norman. The latter. however was mus

They were heartsease TO the New YORK
fans" who love to see the Cubs get 1t
good and hard.
The Giants seem TO have recovered their
batting eyes. the capital work done oy
Meyers and Merkle in the pinches being
OF untold value. Twelve hits were made
off the combined deliveries of the Chicago
twirlers, Meyers making two singles and
a double in three times up. while Merkle
was credited with two triples and a
single.
