Seven Errors
Help Benton
Subdue Cards
Three Pitchers Oppose RUDE
on Mound, but Make
Poor Showing

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1O.-Ragged fielding
I by the Cardinals infeld and outtleld
behind the ineffective pitching Of three
| boxmen made the Giants task easy to-
day. and the New Workers galloped
away with the third game Of the series
and, incidentally, their third game in
row from Huggins's team, winning
| by the score of to 4. The Cardinals
we're guilty Of seven misplays, five oil
which figured in the scoring.
Rube Benton occupied the mound for
the Giants, and though he was hit hard
at times managed, with the aid oil
splendid support. to stick for the entire
contest. Every time the Cards threat
ened TO become dangerous fast fielding
by the buriy lcft-hander's team mates
squelched them.
The Giants made three double plays
and shut off a number Of hits by thrill
ing stops. Robertson provided the
chief thrill with his catch OF Tommy
Longs drive to deep right centre IN the
seventh inning. Gene Packard, Oscar
Horstman and youngster named Nav
tried Intellectually to check the Giant
hitters.
Begin to Crumble
The Cards began to crumble as early
as the first inning and the Giants were
quick TO take advantage OF their weak
ness. HerzoC singled to right after
Burns had been retired, and kautf hit
TO Baird. Baird's throw TO Hornsby to
1 h1+h n N
were safe. The bases were loaded a
moment later when Miller booted Zim-
merman's grounder all over the I'M
mediate vicinity. Fletcher died on a
foul to Baird but Robertson scratched
hit through the inheld, scoring
Herzog.
The Cards came right back in their
half Of the opening frame and went
into the lead. Long led off with a
triple that bounced off the bleacher
wall in left centre. Bethel hit a high
bounder in front of the plate which
Benton felded and threw TO Rariden
in an attempt TO nail Long at the plate,
but the throw was late, and Tommy
registered.
Millers single put Bethel on third, at
which station he remained while Zlm-
norman was throwing out Hornsby,
though Miller advanced TO second.
Cruise beat out m infeld blow, scoring
Bethel. but Paulette ended the inning
By hitting into a double play, Herzog
to Fletcher to Holke.
The Cards lead was short lived, how
ever, as the Giants punched the count
in the second. After two were out
Burns singled 10 left, and Herzog, who
blew himself 10 three hits during the
afternoon, laced a triple past Cruise,
scoring Burns.
Errors figured in the scoring OF two
runs by the Giants in the third. The
great Zim opened with a single TO CEN
ire and Fletcher followed with a blow
to right. Long allowed the bali to roll
through his legs, Heinie racing all the
way hcme and Fletcher dashing TO
third and when Longs throw-in was
fooled by Miller, Fletcher also scored.
At this point II was necessary for the
St. Louis bench warmers TO apply re-
storatives in order to bring Miller Hug
gins back to consciousness.
Bone by Bill Rariden
The Cards rallied in the fourth and
threatened to overhaul the Giants. In
this frame, also, Bill Rariden was
guilty Of a bone play, and the bone
plays which Bill has pulled since he be-
came a member of the Giants have been
rare indeed
Cruise. first up in the inning, singled,
and Paulette's double to centre put him
on third. Baird hoisted a sacrifice fly
10 KauF, on which Cruise scored and
Paulette went TO third, and then came
"Boshter Bill's' glazing error in judg-
ment.
Gonzales raped the ball at thinner
man, and Heinie whipped it TO Rari-
den to get Paulette at the plate. The
throw had Paulette beaten so far that
he turned and dashed back for third,
at which Rariden, instead of throwing
TO Tim, chased the runner back to the
bag. Paulette is feet of foot, and Bill
isn't, so that he made the bag with
case, Bill finally making desperate
throw 70 Zim too late TO do any good.
Luckily, no damage resulted. Horst
man famed, Long walked, filling the
bases, and Benton tossed out Bethel.
Joe without again starred in the role
of pinch hitter in the seventh, when,
with Fletcher, Robertson and Holke
decorating the sacks, he was sent up
TO hit for Rariden. Joe dashed a
single 10 left, scoring Fletcher and
Robertson, while Holke scored mo-
ment later on Benton's sacrifice fly TO
Long.
The Cardinals scored their last run
in the eighth on singles by Hornsby
and Cruise and Paulette's sacrifice fly.
