OF the numerous worst ga-ree Of the
year played by IN Giants yesterdays
was the " rst. They were beaten, IL
TO /. by the Cardinals, and while tripping
into the leagues s~ubterTan~an chamber
played thac kind OF ball. They could not
hit Lee Meadows. but any club might
have had the same experience. They
were, however. weak in fielding as well
as in batting. and the plague Of errors
which visited them made their playing
that much worse.
They played a bad game. very bad
Doubtless they knew IL themselves.
There was little they could do right, not
enough t. interfere in any way with the
m~alefactions OF the Cardinals. Yet the
players had some sympathy despite their
,nalefc melange. Any hail team has

those PLAY ers are sulking or quitting or
something like that. The Giants seemed
TO be willing enough. but unable TO avoid
a piebald. SCARED and seamy addition 10
a stretch - !ow grade playing. They
hdXe eNuded So much poor baseball lately
that It appears to have demoralized
them. and yesterday they seemed to need
sympathy. not scolding.
Doom n Fischer made errors on a
generous scale, and their POOR throwing
bred mischief. Tesreau's pitching was
not as <, I'd as Meadows's, but with I'M
dehlsd support II would AVE ALI wed
no, more han one run. The Cardinals
earned but one score on JEFF. who never
theless was not bla meless as concerns
the unearned runs. He made an error
himself and had an inning of wildness,
In which the accruing tally damage was
slight.
With the advent Of Ferdinand Schupp
New York affairs went from bad to
worse. Ferdinand was a twirier OF ON
tradictslns. He made an impressive en-
try, In his first inning, the seventh. N

gins. Butler and Bes,her. to the chaise-
Tongue BY the swivel method. Having
done that he blew, for in the next two
innings the ca rdinals piled their blades
; avidly. While his was going on
Schupp's support was or a par with his
pitting.

bases clear and two out, y Eoked as II

Instant later the Giants began disgs rg

throws reached third. Fischer threw
wild on Bethel, allowing Mile. to scue,
