The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-06


The Giants returned yesterday from
their successful wanderngs and played
Dali as If the long ride from Philadelphia
had wearied them. They were beaten by
the Cardinals, to 3. and the Cardinals
were fully that much better than the
Giants. 1t isn't far from Philadelphia To
New York. but maybe the Giants came
by trolley. That would make II longer
and more fatiguing. Then again, Judging
from their poor playing. It is possible that
they walked.
IL was "a loose and creaky and losing
game with which the Giants began their
first home stand against the Western
clubs. They had been at home so little
prior to yesterday that perhaps the sur
roundings were strange TO them. They
looked odd In white uniforms after SO
much time spent in dark road suits and
maybe felt that way.
The Cardinals aren't as cardinal as they
used TO be. The only thing cardinal about
them now Is tn. monograms on their shirt
sleeves-and they are maroon---and Ivy
Wingos hair. They wear stockings of
sombre shade now, but have a rather
natty attire and they began the assault
on the effete citadels with ball playing
which also was natty, not to say earnest
and spirited. They caught the Giants Oh
day on which the champions were Off
their feed or their form or their trolley or
something which is II IS not well to be off
OF, and turned various cunning and dis
concerning tricks at their opponents en-
pense.
Rube Marquard had good and bad
moments in his tenure of the terrace,
which was permanent The ex-Cardinals
punched hits on the RUDE twice, punching
scoring at the same time As bunchers
Marquard's fielders too were cooperative
with their errors. Whenever the Car
dinals were hitting the Giants were help
ing them along with msplays Marquard
was quite as good as his support. which
isn't saying much for either.
The Giants hit freely, especially Grant,
who, with three two baggers ana TWO
errors, had a protean afternoon, but their
hits though numerous were more scat
tering than condensed. and besides Man
ager Higgins switched Poll Perritt onto
a siding with what proved to be marine
exactness of judgment as TO the proper
time The score was tie when Poll
was plucked, II was the seventh inning
and the Giants had man on base with
none out Yet that man didn't score
No Giants scored from the time or ROBIN
sons appearance r. u. e., so IN so iar as
the returns bore on Huggnss astuteness
credit must be given him for some canni'
ness OF judgment.
Beck and Miller led the sortie or the
shillalahs as conducted BY the Cards
Az Card Miller, the converted Pirate
was a regular ace of trumps with three
base hits and fancy fielding work. lie
made spectacular catch by means or
sideways bound and the extension joints
in his arm which enabled him to prong q
liner from Stock while the whole of hin
was in the air, one foot pointing to th'
l,mpld sky and as high in the air az thu
digits on the other side on which th'
ball was tined. Miller knocked in foul
runs and Beck knocked out four hits 9

He and Miller did the heavy work, while
other Cardinals kept the attack varied
with hunts.
