By HAYWOOD BRoUN.

George Burns IS quick 20 size up n

he came 20 bat his team was one run
behind. but there were three men on
base. Quicker than one could say
sDavsv Robertson" Burns realized that
irinlc would be timely.
Now. Burns is none OF your heslta'-

fhree-base hit was needful, he went

Demaree Grows Wild.
Demaree was pitching and lead Of

roundhouse curve began curling the
hall far outside the plate and into peo-
pIe's ribs. and in the eighth It became
NECESSARY TO remove him. The Sltua-
lion went from bad TO worse, ana
Fronme entered the box His legacy
was man on third and one on first,
and he could not prevent one OF them
coming home on long fly by Cruise:
Fromme sho ,ed signs OF waverlng IN
the ninth. With one out Higgins hit
him for a single. and after Magee had
been thrown out by Doyle Fromme re-
Maid the blow Of the little leader OF
The Cardinals by hitting on his own
account. His blow landed IN the snort
ribs Of "Cosey" Dolan. Hitting batter
usually hurts the feelings OF the MT
ter and the prospects Of the pltcnef,
but yesterday Dolan was made to SUI
fer alone
Py freak Of the game the pitch
which went awry proved the salvation
Of Fromme. Jack Miller raped the
hall sharply close to second base.
Fletcher fumbled and had no time TO
make a play at first, but il was easy
a. step on second and force Dolan,
thereby ending the game.
Heine Zimmerman, the slugger OF
tie Cubs. was a spectator but he YVES

zen. and seemingly no one was any
me worse for his presence.
One Run on Many Hits.
st. Louis scored first in the third inn
ing. and was compelled to do a good
deal OF hitting to bring a man across
the plate. After Beck had flied TO
Pescher Snyder hit a prodigious drive
III 10 left centre, but could only make two
~ bases on IL. Sallee was safe on an
error by Fletcher and Snyder went TO
third. Higgins tapped the ball over
second base and Snyder scored, while
Sallee ran down TO second. Magee
lifted 10 Burns, but Dolan singled, fill
jng the bases. Jack Miller helped the
pitcher out Of a bad hole, Tor with the
count three and one he swung and
topped the ball TO Doyle, who threw to
Fletcher, forcing Dolan.
The first hit for the Giants came IN
the fifth inning, when Fletcher beat out
a scratchy bounder 20 Higgins. A
grand double play followed. Beck took
the ball on the half volley and shot II
10 Higgins. ST. Louis hit safely in al
most every inning, and IN the sixth
they wasted two hits.
Then came the sixth of the Giants.
Meyers lifted lazy fly into right field.
Stock drew a base on balls. Sallee SAID
a good deal about this pass al the time
and much more later on, when he per
ceived how much it had hurt him.
Demaree beat out a bunt which Ores
san felded. This was largely the fault
of Sallee. who failed 10 cover the bag.
Bescher flied TO Magee, but Doyle hlled
the bases when he beat out dead nit
10 Miller. Burns let the first ball pass,
but not the second. His hit was fine,
low drive. and went all the way TO the
fence. Stock, Demaree and Doyle all
scored. Snodgrass lifted 10 Dolan.
With a two-run lead 70 work on
Demaree showed new effectiveness and
struck out both Higgins and Magee.
In each case the third strike was a
