OF Visitors.
Five thousand "tans" were on hand 10
BID q gentle farewell for the season to
the St. Louis Cardinals when the tribe
Of Miller Higgins met the Giants at the
Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon. the
Giants hated TO see the guests from the
Mound City leave. but even the best OF
friends must part, so McGraw organized
a marty TO give the visitors something TO
remember him by until they meet again.
That something assumed definite form IN
a nice little beating by score OF 10 l.
The visitors were not particularly sun
missive, and they squirmed and struggled
more than the score would indicate al
10 no purpose. The host was complete
master OF the situation, and would brooK
no restraint.
Arthur Fromme and Larry Mclean, the
one-time star battery OF the Cncinna'i
Reds. worked their first fun game
together for the Giants, and went
about their task in q manner that lelt
nothing TO be desired. Guided along skill
fully by Mclean. Fromme limited the OF
fensive operations of the Cardinals 10
four hits. three OF which were punched
IN the third inning. II was in that frame
that the visitors escaped shut-ou'' 40

That the Giants made only six runs
may be traced in some degree TO BOD
Wingo. the hame-haired Nebraska boy
who caught for st. Louis. Not in long
time has such work behind the bat been
seen as that done by the steel-theWed
Western lad. Not alone did he hold UP
the Eighty Perritt in fine style. but he
had the Giants hugging their bases. as no
other backstop has done this season. Five
adventurous white-clad youths matched
their speed against his arm, and all were
turned back. He threw them low, on the
line and like a rifle ball. and the work OF
the fielder was easy.
While the game, as a whole, was quite
ordinary. there were few bright spots
in IL. Arthur Fletcher made a grand play
on a slow roller by Gathers that cut di-
rectIy in back OF second base. 1t was
dollars TO a Chinese yen that the runner
would beat Il, but Fletcher scooped the
ball up and threw 1t at one motion, get
