SUPERBAS SLAM BALL
IN A TELLING WAY
Find HarmOn'S Delivery Much

Runs Result.
YINGLING BALKS ST. LOUIS
Sprightly Fielding by Both
Teams Adds Plenty of
Spice to Well
Played Game.

Sequcntial hitting turned the trick for
the Superbas yesterday. for by smacking
the tall At the most timely junctures and
rropelling it with telling force they
moved the St. Louis Cardinals down by
a score Of to .. Incidentally they were
on their toes from the start and theii
individual excellence did much to bring
about the downfall of the men from the
Mound city
1t mattered little what Bob Harmon
who was on the gun deck for the ST
louis crew. served They were after his
delivery hotfJot almost from the ne
,inning but they did not succeed IN
breaking into lis stronghold until the
fourth inning, when they picked up theii
first run.
After that 1t was easy. and the harder
Harmon tried the more certain he seemed
ioomeC 10 defeat. because the Superbas
took all he had and looked for more.
They trickled runs by units across tht
plate in the fourth. fifth and sixth frames,
and then in the seventh unloosed all their
thunder and with a few deft touches
which included a single. a couple of
triples and a two-bagger, they laid Har
mon out cold and chalked up four more
runs.
BY the way the Cardinals started on

shower. relieved they We're beginning
where they had left off on the preceding
day. "Chink" Yingling was the mail
works of the Brooklyn defence. and il
the opening frame the Cardinals showed a
propensity to solve the youngsters curve,
by slipping upder his guard for a brace
Of hits and a run.
Thereafter however, Yinglins had thing,
all his own way. and the Cardinals served
as another example OF the motheateT
maxim that the race Is not always 10 the
swift After their furry in the first fran,
they petered out badly, and could dc
nothing with the Yinslng shoots until
the eighth inning when, after all was
lost but honor. they scratched another
tally across the plate To keep company
with the counter they had made in the
first inning
There was some sprightly fielding or
both sides, something that is attested tc
by the fact that the Cardinals pulled of
q pair Of neat double plays. while the Su-
pcrbas made one themselves. Jake pau-
bert never played better than he did IN
the fifth inning. His example seemed tc
stir his mates. and the fielding for tina,
session was about as artistic as any team
has eXpOunded in recent years.
