81. Louis. July 9.--The Cardinal,
nosed out the Giants here to-day in the
thirteenth inning of desperately
fought game. The score was to 4,
and a poor throw by Snodgrass after
catching a short fly sent the winning
run across the plate.
Il was the fourth straight defeat for
the Giants and the third straight since
the beginning of the Western trip. Nc
Graw's men still lead the league By
three and half games. for the Cubs
were defeated by the Braves.
The extra inning battle, which con-
summed more than three hours OF play
ing time. was fearful strain upon
both teams. for the thermometer was
al % degrees when play began and
never got much below that figure. Hub
Pcrdue, former pitcher Of the Braves,
made his first appearance IN the box
for the Cardinals.
Hub has contended that the reason
for his Indifferent showing IN Boston
This wear has been the cold weather ~
New England. but though he had tenn
nerature in plenty to-day he was no
great puzzle to the Giants. He was
lifted in the latter half Of the seventh
inning, after the Giants had tied the
score by rally.
The visitors scored IN a hurry, for
Bob Bescher, first man up, drove q
home run to centre field. st. Louis
took the lead In the latter half Of the
inning, scoring three times. Higgins
worked Tesreau for base on balls and
Magee singled TO left, sending the little
manager to second base. Dolsn laid
down sacrifice, which Tesreau
handled. Jack Miller tapped TO Stockl
who threw to the plate in time to head
off Higgins, but Chief Meyers dropped
the ball. Magee went 10 third on the
play. Wilson hammered a three-bsss
hit to right, which brought Magee and
Miller home. Wilson, however, was
left on third, for the next two batters
died on easy infeld taps.
The Giants scored once IN the second
inning. Fred Merkle beat out bunt TO
Perdue and Doyle flied 70 Wilson. Inc
pitcher made a mess of Stocks MUS
tap and the runner was safe, "nlle
Merkle went TO second. Both runners
advanced on passed ball, and sscr'-
fee fly by Meyers to Magee Drought
Merkle across the plate.
This left the Cardinals only run
ahead. but they increased their LEAD -
two in the third inning. Dolan neat
out a bunt and scored on double ~
Jack Miller Higgins and his men
showed themselves adopts at the punt
ing game throughout the afternoon.
The Giants tied the score in the sew

which brought his captain, home.

Huggins. to the surprise OF all the
rooters, allowed Perdue TO 90 TO par IN
the latter half of the inning. Perdue
surprised every one still more by nam
mering a clean single TO centre. I'M
yodiatelv Huggins sent Biller IN TO run
for tho pitcher. The manager then
sacrificed, but no one could bring the
runncr home. Sallee took up the pltch-
inc burden in place Of Perdue, ana ms
oreat speed and wide curves had the
c;onts Guessing. With the advent OF
the lcfthander McGraw benched Da1ys
Robertson and sent Snodgrass 70 tane
his place. As matter OF fact, kooer1-

ohled the runner to cross the plate
