ground yesterday as did the Huns. The
cubs sandbagged the helpless Cardinals

FIctchcr's Errors Costly.
Sim Sallee. the slender Sheriff. pitched
for the Giants, and the cards were
against him. as Philadelphia always was
his ink team. Arthur Fletcher. the ven.

blew the works for Sallee. Had he
f.hed his position properly in the sew

order. but Arthur made a low throw OF
one attempt and fooled another. thus
setting the stage for Willams's homer.
