Leading Giants
Hunbled, 1913,
In W eird Came
McCraw Uses Up Four
Pitchers in Vain Attempt
to Stop the Cardinals
By Charles A. Taylor

1t was wild, wild afternoon yes
hours the league-leading Giants and
the aspiring Cardinals battled away
to! reach decision, the visitors fnally
attaining the victory by the score of
IL to 8. Pitcher after pitcher paraded
of Managers McGraw and Hickey, while
pinch hitters, pinch runners and all
their ilk fairly swarmed over Henry
Fabian's lawn. The official scorer and
Alias Elias were still at death grips
when the last of the 1000 dishevelled
and distrait onlookers had filed
through the exits.
No one had buster afternoon than
Umpire Harrison. On three different
occasions he pulled his watch out Of
His trousers pocket and threatened
to ring down the curtain on the old
ball game unless the players stopped
their wrangline.
Three Cardinals Banished
Miller, Paulette and Snyder were
chased off the field by his Umps when
$they persisted in hurting the choicest
invectives in their vocabularies at the
arbiter and punctuating their verbiage
by tossing their caps in the air.
eThe revelry began in the third inn
Ing. when tho Cardinals jumped upon
por Ferdic Schupp for five big runs.
That is, these runs looked big at the
moment, but as it happened runs were
going to be as thick as pollywogs in a
pool before the hostlties were ended.
ESchupp had been wild and unruly
during the first two innings, but some
how he had got away with it, but
in the third it was a far different
story. After Jack Smith had famed
Jocks Miller drew pass and Milton
Stock singled to left. Rogers Horns
left field bleachers for home run
Shotton worried another pass out of
the disconsolate Schupp and then
Manager John j. yanked Ferdie off
the mound in favor Of Polonius Per-
& Perritt Ends Agony
McHenry greeted Polonius. with a
double to left, which put Shotton on
third. Both runners tailed on Lavan's
two-bagger to Burnsville. Perritt
managed to get the next two batters
The visitors picked up another coun-
ter in the fourth, but the Giants
turned the stands into a bedlam in
their half by sending the huge total of
seven runs across the plate Four
hlts, three bases on balls and two
errors were responsible for the ava
lancRe
These seven tallies added to the one
garnered by the Giants in the first
inning as the result of a hit by Young
and wild throw by Jake May. the
Card pitcher, made the McGraw total
eight, as against the Westerners' six.
But in the fifth St. Louis made an
other pair of runs, three singles and
tsacrifce hit being punched off
Polonous, and in the next frame the
Cards wrapped up the game with a
Carlos Ragan, with his famous cud,
was here injected into the fray by J.
J JAMcGraw to replace the reeling and
groggy Polonious. 1t was while these
four runs were being manufactured
that Umpire Harrison had his busiest
mpments
Doc. Lavan Objects
Doc Lavan, by jumping out Of the
batters' box. had squeezed two runs
over when Harrison called the Doctor
out and ordered the base runners to
return to the bags they had vacated
The entire horde Of Cardinals from
the bench and field surrounded the
umpire at the home plate, while Napo-
leon McGraw marshalled his reserves
ins front of the Giants dugout pre-
pared for a counter charge.
Harrison saved the situation by ban
ishing the leading spirits among the
disturbers. If Doc Lavan's squeeze
failed Heathcote, pinch hitting for
Meadows, was determined that these
same, so he singled to centre, and the
deed was done.
