header here this afternoon. The pair
of games may prove TO De the last .,
the season in st. Louis. The Cians.,
produced eleven runs and two victoris,
that put them well within approacbn,
distance of the leading Bruin.
The score was to 2 in the opener
and to 2 in the wind-up. The Man.
haitian marauders won four of sya
games played here and are now tbreo
and one-half games behind the Cuhs
Herbert Algernon Causey and
an Moosejaw" Bob Steele were the princ;.
pal reasons why the Giants won
Causey was effective at all stages in
the first game and could have had
shut out if the Giants had been in mind
to play for the runner n the ninth
inning. This game was easy for New
York.
In the second the Cardinals provided
McGraw with a lot Of arnovinp com
petition. For ten innings Young Bill
Sperdel, local left handler, fooled Tho
fire-eating visitors with ease. Neither
club was able to score in the first rem
and each made three safe drives. In
the eleventh the Giants got to Sperdel
and, aided by faltering defence ON
the part of the Cards, put six runs
across the dish. In their half the locals
scored a pair, Steele giving three hits
in the round.
Steele Bats a Few
Steele's batting also helped lot. He
got three blows and drove over the first
run of the game with a hooked drive
into left field for base. Bob was
great pickup for the Giants, McGraw
having grabbed him from the Steel
League. Bob saved Fridays game and
won yesterdays hands down.
Henry Lee Meadows opposed the
Giants in the first game and was
easy to hit. The Giants made run
in the second inning after one man
had gone west. Handsome Heinie
Zim walked took second on Wilhoit's
roller TO Meadows, and scored when
Walter Holke propelled a single 10
centre.
Three more came over in the fourth.
Pep Young opened by beating out
hit to Fisher. Artie Fletcher sacked
him to second. Larry Doyle drove
single to centre. Young counting. Zim
flied out TO Heathcote. Wihoit beat
out hit to Paulette, who was playing
third. Holke again delivered in the
pinch, his double into left field scoring
Doyle and Wilhoit. Walter was in
great spirits after the interview with
his draft board yesterday, which in
Holke's appeal probably will not be
acted upon for six weeks.
Final Run in Eighth
The final New York run came in the
eighth. With one out Young steamed
a two-base hit to right. He took third
on Fletcher's roller to Hornsby and
scored when Doyle placed q line single
in centre.
The Card runs came in the ninth on
hits by Hornsby, Grimm and Brock,
coupled with g pair of stolen bases
presented by the Giants.
In the second game the Giants got
men to second on Two occasions in TIE
first ten innings, while the Cards ad-
vanced to that station but once. Bed
lam broke loose in the eleventh, how.
ever.
Holke opened with a triple to the
pinched for Rariden and was pur-
posely passed. Steele singled to left,
scoring Holke. George Burns also
singled to left, the slow-footed Nc
Carty holding third. McCarty scored
on Young's base hit to centre.
That ended Sherdel. and Bill Doak
came to the mound. Steele scored as
Doak tossed Fletcher out at first.
Doyle Plays a Trick
Then came funny play. Doyle
rolled to Fisher, whose throw home
caught Burns between third and the
plate. George got back to third safely.
leaving Young in a run-up between
third and second. Larry Doyle was
almost to second, and held up his
hands for the ball to be thrown to hin;
1t was. The veteran Wallace tossed
the ball right TO Larry, Burns and
Young scoring and Doyle reaching
third. This was probably the first bone
of the species ever made by Wallace.
Doyle scored as Hornsby was throw
ing out Zim.
