The little southpaw had just one bad

punched a few hits on him for lone
run. But he recovered quickly. lie
worked like a veteran. wasting nothing,
and his motion was beautifully free
and easy. The only thing that seemed
TO worry Ferdinand was the applause.
lie got red 20 the ears as the crowd
cheered him. But he will get used TO
that, for Ferdinand will be cheered FREE
auently at the Polo Grounds this year.
They may not be SO enthusiastic in
other parks.
The first game caused seven pitchers
TO pass in review TO and from the box.
The Cardinals paraded Cheaters Mead
ows. Mule Watson. Oscar IiOrstman and
Smoke Doak. The Giants sent into the
breach such prominent hurlers as Andy
Anderson, Rube Benton and Jefferson
Tesreau.
Tesreau remained in the game until
the twelfth. It was we'll that the Bear
Hunter Of the Ozarks was on the job
at this point, too. for Jefferson got
hit. Yes. incredible as II may seem 10
the more skeptical persons who were

hit, and If you don't believe it you can

George Burns's infeld out got Tes-
roau on second. Then il began to look
a little tough for the chances Of ending
the game. JEFF is pitcher, and he is

Schupp Gets Single

Not only was Schupp the sensation
of the game with his pitching, but
young Ferdinand also showed consid-
erable aptitude with the stick. lie got
himself a nice clean single and smashed
out two hard-hit ones that came pretty
close 10 being safe.
Every man in the Cardinal lineup,
with the exception Of Gonzales. was
struck out at least once by Schupr.
Gonzales. the lone exception, did not
fatten his batting average 70 any ex-
tent.
Next in Importance TO the showing
Of Schupp was the apparent awakening
of Davey Robertson. David seems TO
be getting back into the habit OF polling
out long ones. A two-bagger in the
first game and the homer in the second
would rather indicate that David will
once more be Goliath with tho club.
David's hitting hasn't been needed to
any great extent by the Giants of late,
but it 10 always appreciated.

Yankees Lose Opener
To st. Louis BrOVnS
Sothoron Turns Back Bill
Donovan's Crew When
Hits Mean Runs

st. Louis, July THE Yankees, In
their first game Of the second invasion
Of the West, to-day went back to their
shiftless, hitless ways. As q conse-
ouence the Browns won the first game
they have been able to take from the
Yanks on home territory this year.
The score was 1 to 0, st. Louis crowd
ing over the only tally Of the battle
with one out in the ninth inning.
Sothoron, for st. Louis, outpitched
Bob Shawkey and clearly deserved the
honors. The husky young right
handler, who Is regarded as a second
Ed Walsh by Fielder Jones, allowed
the visitors but 4cant half dozen hits.
No two Of these ever came in an In
ming.
The Browns touched up Shawkey for
nine bingles. Bob was also very much
wilder than his adversary and was
saved by brilliant support several
times. Sothoron, much steadier, was
at his best in the pinches.
The Yankees could not hit Sothoron
with any degree Of success. Neverthe-
less. they had many golden opportuni-
ties TO score when one run looked like
the game. In five different innings
New York's first batter got on safely;
vet the Yanks had to submit to shut
out.
Pipp singled to start the second;
Peckinpaugh doubled with none out IN
the fourth; Miller led of with a single
in the fifth; Maisel strolled to start
the eighth, and Miller bunted safely as
lead-off man in the ninth.

inning and frightened up the battle. In

careful aim at the corner o. the lower

 Doran company. publishers, New
 York city
 Mary Roberts Rinehart mirrors the delightfully."- amusing foibles of young girlhood in a new book, "Bab, a Sub Deb. A story of the American girl of today.
 What Is sub deb?
 Mary Roberts Rinehart has "discov- cred" her! She is that most effer- vescent and entertaining parsonage In the entire world-a sweet young girl, Somewhere in her teens" just ready for life, yet theoretically an onlooker in the game of life, because she has not made her social debut.
 But "Bab" is more than an onlook CT. She is intensely alive-a girlwoman, romantic, adventurous, loyal. Such a girl as only this day and generation have brought forth. And incidentally, she bids fair to be called Mary Roberts Rinehart's most humorous. engaging character creation.
 Some of Bab's clever sayings are as follows:
 Is it any fault of mine that my sis ter. Leila. is 20 months older than am? Naturally. no.
 I am IT years and II days old, and Juliet, in Shakespeare, was only 16 when she had her we'll known affair with Romeo.

 How weak is human nature! It is ter rable to remember the rapture of that moment, and compare it with my condi- ton now, with no allowence, with my faith gone and my heart in fragments. And with, alas, another year of school. I have frequently wondered how 1t would feel to be going down a staircase, dressed in ones best frock, low neck and no sleeves, to some loved one lurking below, preferably in evening clothes, al- though not necessarily so.

He did not see General Carranza but was told the only terms which could be granted za- pata were unconditional surrender. He was under close surveillance for mum Der of days and finally was sent back to Morelos and given safe conduct through the government lines
 Reports which have just arrived here declare that zapata, convinced that Bo- nilla had not been faithful on his mis- sion, had ordered his execution. Many chiefs of the Zapata forces, 1t is said, inter ceded for Bonilla, but without con vincing Zapata that he had not been betrayed. Bonilla, according to the dis patches, was stood before a wall near Cuautla and shot within a few days after his return.

HOW TO WRITE FOR THE MOvIl
 PICTURES"

By Marguerite Bertsch. Illustrated with photographs. George H. Doran Co.,, publishers, New York city.
 For five years managing director of the vitagraph company, Marguerite
 Bertsch has often been called the fore most photoplay writer in America"
 Frist as scenario writer, then as di- rector, and finally as author producer, . she has met and mastered every technical problem of the profession. Extraordi- narily successful as a director she is qualified to treat with absolute knowledge of the technique of photoplays.
 This ook, in which she has crystallized
 the fruit of her extraordinarily valuable experience, will stimulate new talent in
 an art which offers great financial return.
 It used to be said that every adult In the United States had the manuscript of a play slowed away at the bottom of the family trunk Off not tucked into a handler repository for instant use) Today we are all doing movie scenarios. And well we may, for like the movie "star." the successful writer of photoplays often com- mands a salary quite beyond the dreams of avarice. It may be confidently ex- pected that this textbook embodying the result of years of professional experi- ence and explaining clearly and explicit ly the tricks of the trade" will find a place on the desks of a great army of embryo authors and playwrights.

In the "Sub-Ded'' (de- lightfully typifed in Bab, the girl be- loved) Mrs. Rinehart, like Mr. Parking ton, has produced something more than a best seller. She has hit off, in quite inimitable fashion, the eternally amusing, eternally alluring foibles of young girl hood, thrown into high relief agaist the background of society today.
