The Cardinals made only four hits in
the opening contest, all of them singles
and no two came I'm the same inning.
And the Giants made only one error.
Yet 81. Louis scored five runs while
New York was making four on triple,
three doubles. five singles and an err

The Giants lost the second game be-
cause Mathewson had two bad innings,
while the Cardinals had only one.
Leon Ames of here, there and every
where started the first game against
Poll Perritt. Of there and here. The
ex-Giant lasted almost seven innings,
while the former Cardinal departed IN
the second. Hub Perdue was called
in 10 finish the game for st. Louis, and
he did so well that he was allowed to
finish the second one when Robinson
went wrong.
The result was that Hub gets credit
for winning both games.
Rube Schauer followed Perritt IN
the first affair. while Christopher
Mathewson went the full nine innings
for the Giants. ar1 performed right
manfully with the exception Of the
fourth and fifth.
Perritt and ScEauer were as wild as
McGraw will be if Herzog's Reds finish
ahead Of him in the pennant race.
The first game went along quietly
through the first inning. The second
opened and Long came up and got
base on balls. Dolan STROBE forth and
got another base on balls. Miller stood
up 10 the plate and was hit on the left
hand. filling the bases. Betzel hit
bounder to Perritt, who batted it into
the air. turning % into a scratch hit.
Perfectly helded. il would have been
double play, and the Giants probably
would have won. Bungled, the hit
scored Long and left the bases full.
Larry Doyle, who had been looking
hopefully toward the bench, where sat
McGraw, suddenly nodded and went
quickly over and mumbled to Perritt.
"Who, me?" asked Perrltt, and
Schauer walked ncrvously IN 10 do the

There seemed to be something in the
air to drive ths Giants pitchers wild,
for Schaucr started the third by miss

ond along with a wild pitch and
reached third on a passed ball. Bescher
took four balls, and so did Long, hlllng

Mathewson has beaten the Cardinals
twice this year, so McGraw was hope
full when he put the marster in TO work
in the second game against Robinson.
The Giants gave him a three-run
lead in the third. but he couldn't hold
it. In the old days a three-run lead for
Mathewson. especially against St. Louis,
meant that the game was already put
away. But this is another year.
Eight Giants were up IN the third.
