PUTS GIANTS OUT
OF FIRST POSITION

New York, May 1.-THE Giants met
their usual extra inning fate yester-
day. They lost another 10 inning
game to the Cardinals. The score
was to 4. In nine round tussels
they run from fairish to fine, with
good deal Of the latter quality, but in
engagements Of added innings their
best is to be second best. They have
not won an extra inning game this
year, but they have lost three and
tied One, u Their :, pep sinks with
the SUM- Sc
: They lost more than the game yes
terday. Additional losses were first
place, which went to the running
amuck Cubs and some self esteem,
for they played an inept and seedy
game. The fielding was f1nicky-
poor at critical moments and their
batting vitality was low except in one
inning.
The Cardinals capered with more
skill, scrap and intelligence. A
home run hit by Rogers Hornsby. the
fleet and springy Cardinal, was stag
gering blow to the Giants, although
had they been less 1istless and held
their heads up they needn't have
dropped, for Hornsbys hercu1ean
lI1ulup ulu no more Indn InG score
But seeing a three run lead of their
own thus summarily wiped out, the
Giants didn't fight back with any
great amount of conviction and final
1y yielded to team which had more
fire and punch.
Six innings of goose egg pitching
by Tesreau and Meadows was follow
ed by the collapse OF Meadows in the
-SaUanth |,a
Giants. These three runs were COM
fortab1y large, inasmuch as the Car
dinals hadn't scored at all, but among
those who have followed closely the
diamond career and characteristics of
Tesreau the next turn at bat of the
Cardinals was viewed with lurking
dread.
Tesreau, you see, was on the bases
in the seventh. He made a, single,
numbered to second on another single
and then, with two out, rushed past
third for the plate as unanimously
as he could rush when the batter
popped a fly to Hornsby. The situa-
ton didn't warrant any such impet-
uous exertions, and particularly from
Tesreau, who has cracked ofttimes
after pounding along the lanes, was
such an-sexpenditure of energy unwise
to faulty. ~
All the Cardinals did to Tesreau in
the next inning was to knock him out
of the box Two singles and a home
run tied the score, but he was kept
out there, until two more hits, aided
however, with a boot by Holke, had
turned in another run. AS relief
pitchers both Ames and Perritt did
pretty well. Ames won for himself
with a hit which sent in the fifth run,
or, rather sent the bearer thereof on
his way to the plate.
Kauff's tumble in centre field al
lowed the run to score. A clean
pickup would have meant an earlier
arrival Of the ball at the plate and
an out, instead of a run, there. Proof
of that is the fact that, the runner,
Gonzales, just managed to beat the
ball as 1T was. It was a full fedgeo
error for Kauff, his second in centre
in the last two days.

BROOKLYN BREAKS
ITS LOSING STREAK

New York May 16-The Brooklyn
Dodgers cracked the ice in Ebbets
Field yesterday and trapped the Reds
6 to g. 1t was their first victory in
the last eight games. They had a
busy inning in the fifth and the crash
of bats and muff by Roush gave
them a lead that brought them home
in front:
Brooklyn was in for a whipping,
with Larry Cheney in the box and two
runs scored on him in two rounds, but
Wilbert Robinson told Larry to go
home after the second inning, and
RUDE Marquard's entrance into the
game was a stone barrier against
Matty's men. RUDE gave them five
hits and only two came in any inning.
Peter Schneider, second best of
Matty's pitchers, was laced for five of
Brooklyn's runs and they came in a
group in the fifth. He hurled another
inning and then gave way to Knetzer,
formerly Brooklyn pitcher, who had
the sixth run charged against him.
Griffith hit to right for two bases
in the second, advanced on Neale's
roller to Olson and scored on a wild
pitch by Cheney while Wingo was at
bat Wingo walked. took second on
Shean's hit and scored on. Schneider's
safe blow. Groh raped to Cutshaw
and a double play was made on him
and Schneider. Cincinnati's day was
for five hits off Vanguard scattered
through the remaining innings were
worth nothing.

New York, May 16-Mike Gibbons.

ring titles in his category of worldly

Michael has gathered unto himself
quite a bale of worldly goods through
the manipulation of his two mitts in

up a line of conversation to a Port

home in st. Paul, $4,000; other prop

$170, 900 Mike wasn't talking for. the
benefit of the Income Tax Commits

fairly accurate. -,

BURNS IS
WINNER OVER JOE
LYNCH ON POINTS


New York, May 16-The saying
that youth will be served was re-
versed last night at the Pioneer Sport
ing club. where frankie Burns, the
Jersey City bantamweight, veteran of
many a hard-fought ring battle.
clearly outpointed Joe Lynch, ris-
ing product of the west side. His
ability to keep at close quarters and
punish Lynch about the body with an
attack from both hands earned the
honors for the Jersey City veteran. He
continually kept boring in and seldom
gave. Lynch chance to display any
of his cleverness at long range.
TIE west side lad, however, manag-
ed to win the honors in the fourth,
fifth, and sixth sessions, when he ex-
changed blows with Burns and had a
shade the best of it, landing the
cleaner blows. In the fourth he near
ly floored the Jersey City boxer with
a right cross to the jaw, and again in
the sixth he came near scoring a
knockdown with the same blow.
Burns, however, earned "a clear mar
gin in the other rounds with his con-
sistent infighting.

COBB GAINING ON
BATTING LEADERS

New York, May 16-Tyrus Ray
'mond Cobb is rapidly gaining on the

Speaker made substantial gain on
Sisler, and is only ten points behind
