Cards Are Easy
Winners Over
Giants, 5 to z
Pitcher Red Ames Stands
His Old Pals on Their
Heads

ST. LOUIS, July 19.--The demoral-
lied Cardinals had no difficulty at all
in defeating the Giants to-day. The
score in favor of the st. Louis nine
was to 2. This is the town in which
the McGraw men were planning to
make a clean sweep. The series now
stands tied, each team having won one
game.
Just about the happest person in the
Mound City tonight is Red Ames,
once Giant and ever gleeful when he
has an opportunity to stand his old
pals on their heads. McGraw was fear
some of Ames, and selected Slim Sal
lee to do the twirling for the New
Workers.
AS far as actual hits we're concerned,
the statistics give the advantage to
Slim, but in actual results Ames car
ried off the palm, for Red won his
game
The Cardinals made only ten safe
ties, as against the fourteen hits in
the Giants collection, but numbered
among the Cards total were home
run by Hornsby, a triple by Gonzales
and double by McHenry. None of
the Giants succeeded in striking an
extra base blow. Each team committed
one error. Heinie Zimmerman and Bet
Eel being the offenders. Both errors
counted in the scoring of one run, so
it was an even break in the bungle
line.
The Cardinals scored almost enough
runs to win in the second inning. Nc
Henry opened on Sallee with a double
to left and made third in safety when
Zimmerman dropped Fletcher's relay of
Wilhoit's throw to check the advance.
Bethel singled to left, scoring McHenry.
Mike Gonzales made a scratch hit
through the box. and Ames singled to
centre, filling the bases.
Hcathcote banged the ball to Doyle,
and Larry put through one of his ia
vorite plays. He tagged Ames on the
line, and threw to Holke in time to
nab Heathcote at first. Unfortunately
tor the Giants, however, Bethel refused
to remain on third, rightly figuring that
1T was fine opportunity for him to
take chance on tallying. He took the
chance and won.
The Giants picked up one of their
two runs in the third frame. They
might have done better had it not been
for bit OF reckless base running.
Burns began the attack on Ames bv
beating out grounder to Paulette.
Young followed with single to short
right. on which Burns vainly tried to
take third.
Nattick's throw was perfect, and the
Giant leftfelder was easily moved
down. Fletcher reversed the rally by
hitting safely to centre. Young went
to third and continued on to the plate
when Bethel allowed the throw Of
lleetncote to speed by him. Fletcher
went to third on the miscue, and it
looked lovely for the Giants.
~. Larry DOYLE drove out fly which
Fisher, the Card shortstop, backed up
on on and caught, much to the surprise of
and was caught standing up by Fishers
toss. This was case of four hits and
one mcasly rum
Inc Cardinals were not satisfied with
their run-making, and in order to make
matters more sure they gathered three
more tallies-one in the fifth, another
in the seventh and Still another in the
eighth. The Giants managed to squeeze
one more counter over the plate in the
ninth, but 1t was far from sufficient
Heinie Zimmerman, who was fined $50
by McGraw yesterday for failing to run
out a lily which was muffed and who
left the game in a huff, was back on fhe
job to-day, but his batting eye was dim.
as he failed to get hit in four trips to
the plate. ~
Captain Arthur Fletcher did the best
hitting of the day for the Giants. WITH
two t safeties in three times at bat.
ietcher also managed to GET hit by
pitched ball and stole base.
Rogers Hornsby celebrated his return
to the game by knocking out home
run and single. The star shortstop
got INTO part of the contest yesterday,
put was harmless there so far as his
hitting went ''''
