ST. Loris. Aug. THE Giants carved
the 81. Louis pitching to-day for two
victories. They went m a tear with the
rod and slashed through the Cardinals
by All IL to . score IN the first game
and : to o in the second. They had
plenty Of run to spare in the second
setto. but in the first they found need
for every hit of their fat output of tai

the Cardinals a ten run lead which they
had before the Cardinals went on "A
rampage of their own with the bat was
not a bit too big.

SHELTER playing committed by the car
dinals, the fact that the Giants came
near having their eleven run structure
pulled down on them and burying them
under the debris was due not to any col

the knockout Of Matty.
Mntty pitched In inviuCihlc style for
six Innings. He had the Cardinals
manacled for that length of time. His
SLOW curves repealed them complctely.
They could not hit the ball squarely.
In the seventh they began to take hold
and in the eighth they drove christy
from the heights with a stream OF whiZ-
zing base hits. He hadn't anything with
which to stop them, Apparently he
hadn't a fast ball to mix in with his
leisurely filings and thus check the
cataclysm.

Tor the same reason. that the game
looked like a pure and indebted cinch
for the Giants. Higgins had let off
Miller and Snyder, and both would have
been up in the ninth inning had they
remained in the action. Their suhst!-
tutes did nothing, McGIaw had ex-
cused Burns and Doom. Rabblngton in
left missed a liner which Burns would
have gobbled. This was during the dis
turbing fusillade, and it was considered
wise to make a hasty exchange of
Meyers for the less experienced Wendell,
who In "A of false security had
been sent in to relieve Doom.
