CHICAGO. Aug Sin his debut with
the Giants Art Nehf. McGraws SAC, 900
scuthpaw. lost stirring pitchers duel
to Claude Hendryx. who yielded only
three scattered hits and kalsomlned the
Gothamites. 3 to 0. here to-day.
II was only the third shutout suf-
forod by the Giants this season and
the FIRST at the expense Of right
handler. The other two kalsomininss
tho Giants received were from South
paws Wilbur Cooper and Harry Sallee.
To-day's victory was only the second
Chicago has won from New York In
eleven starts this season.
II Charley Herzog. Nehfs erstwhile
Boston matte, had not taken so kindly
to Arts southside slants. and II the New
York southpaw had not been handi-
capped by poor support, the result
might have been different. Nehf was
responsible for only one OF Chicago's
three runs. That came In the third
when Hollocher walked and was doubled
home by Herzog.
Neither of the two runs the Cubs
manufactured in the first frame would
have been scored IL the Giants had
played real baseball behind Nehf. Kauff
at the start OF the game refused to play
Flack's line drive safe. Benny tried for
a shoe string catch and the ball went
through him for what was scored as a
three base hit. Herzog singled home
Flack and later, scored himself on an
error by Baird.
Hersog's Work Features.
Not only did Hersog blaze the way
to victory for Chicago with his big bat,
but he was a stonewall on the defense
and played a spectacular game IN the
field. With Fletcher and Chase on
ahead In the seventh Charley made a
phenomenal stop and throw out Of
Kauff. II put the heart In Hendryx,
who frightened up and famed thinner
man and made Baird ground TO Deal.
Heine Zimmerman. who made his FIRST
appearance here since his marriage. was
presented with a wedding gift of a
chest of silver from some OF the legion
of friends he made here In his long
career as q Cub. Gifts ofttlmes prove
hoodoo in baseball. 1t was not so
with Zimmerman, however. for Heine
got two of the three hits harvested on
Hendryx and played a scintillating game
In the field.
Heine engineered q clever double play
in the eighth inning. F1ack had opened
the canto by waiting out Nehf for q
base on balls. Hollocher attempted to
sacrifice but popped a weak one toward
the box. Zimmerman came In on the
dash. but instead of catching the pop
trapped the ball and threw Hollocher out
at first. F1ack, who had remained on
the bag while Heine was trapping the
ball. started for second and was doubled
up, Chase to Fletcher.
Hendrys Bames Giants.
uendrvr'a snitters completely baffled
the Giants. who only reached Claude for
two clean singles, smash to centre
by Zimmerman in the second and safe
shot ever second by Fletcher In the
seventh Zimmerman was credited with
a hit in the fifth when Masee and Hol-
iocher got mixed up on. his hy ball but
attempted to reach second and wai
thrown out. Magee to Herzog.
Following Fletcher's single In the
seventh Hendryx winged Chase HerEoe
then made his aforementioned splendid
PLAY on Kauff, Zimmerman famed ano
Deal threw out Baird. The only otheI
Giant to get on first was Larry Doyle
who batted for Snyder and walked ir
the eighth. Statz, the Holy Cross rookie
ran for Doyle AnA was marooneA on The
