ST. LOUIS, aug. 6.-Ihe Giants again
played listless baseball here to-day. and
again were whipped soundly by Rlckey's
tail end Cardinals. This Western trip,
which started like a Joy ride. is rapidly
developing into q sad retreat.
After that tough series In Cincinnati
the Giants figured they would drop into
n soft spot here with the st. Louis rear
them up twice To-day the Cards made
merry with big Fred Toney, the burly
Tennessee mountaineer, and won by a
score OF s to 1.
McGraw kept Toney in the box
throughout the game. though he was
imassaged for thirteen hits Rodgers
Hornsby, the st. Louis batting star. espe-
cially took delight in FASTING Toney. He
alone was responsible for half Of St.
Louis's runs. In the first inning Rodgers
slapped homer to the centre field
fence. scoring Stock ahead of him, while
in the eighth he singled with the bases
full, sending in two more runs.
Giants Helped by Dodgers.
Thanks TO the Brooklyn Dodgers the
Giants did not lose any more ground In
the National League race. Wilbert Rob-
lnson gave McGraw a lift when his
Dodgers thrashed the Reds with Sallee
in the box. At their present pace the
Giants will not get anywhere. Since
coming West they have won only four
games and lost six. They started by de-
feating Pittsburg In three games out OF
FIVE, and then won only one In three In
Cincinnati They already nave lost two
here.
Hickey used his pitchers against the
Giants in relays. He started with Oscar
Tuero. the Cuban, who made a good
showing against the Giants early in the
season. Frank Woodward, one Of the
pitchers Hickey got In the Philadelphia
trade. relieved the Cuban in the fourth
Woodward went out for a pinch hitter
in the fifth, and Elmer Jacobs, who also
came from the Phillies. finished up the
game. Jacobs pitched good ball after
he took charge He kept the Giants
away from the plate in the last four
innings.
While the Giants helded without an
error, their play again lacked the snap
and dash that their admirers were ac-
customed to. The intense heat here evil
IDENTIFY hasn't helped the team much. It
was responsible for Toney's poor work
The big fellow succumbed to the heat
after the game, and a physician had to
be called 20 revive him.
st. Louis got OF to two. run start
in the first inning, when Stock walked
with two out. and scored when Hornsby
followed with home run to the centre
field bleachers.
New York got one beck in the second
and might have obtained more II Baird
hadn't been put out on the base lines
Kauff walked and took second on Zlmm's
out Al Baird singled to- left, and Kauff
anchored at third base. Baird tried to
take second on the throw to hold kauff
at third, but he was put out at second.
Snyder was hit by a pitched bail and
on an attempted double steal, Kauff
scored before Frank was retired on the
base line. .. .s .t-- ,
The Giants got another run In the
fourth. Fletcher and Chase both hit
singles with none out. The ball slipped
out of Tuero's hand as he tried to pitch
and II went as balk. Fletcher and
Chase both moving UP. Woodward then
relieved Tuero and filled the bases with
none out by walking Kauff. Zimm sent
Fletcher home with the tying ruin on a
sacrifice fly, but Al Baird forced Kauff
at second and Snyder famed.
Giants Score Two In Fifth.
The Giants jumped out and grabbed
a two run lead in the fifth only to have
the Cardinals come back with three in
their half. Burns walked with one out
and Young singled him to third. Fletcher
hit to Woodward, who threw to the
plate too late to get Burns. Kauff fol-
lowed with single, scoring Young.
Then the Cards took their crack at
it and scored three. Zeidell. a pinch
hitter. batting for Woodward, singled to
centre and Shottou followed with a sim
gle to left. Dug Baird ran for ZeideIl.
Smith advanced the men with a sacri-
flee. and Stocks triple. scoring Dug
Baird and Shotton, again tied the score.
Hornsby hit to Zlm and Stock was run
down. but Hornsby made second on the
play and scored on a single by Nc
Henry.
The Cardinals scored a. second batch
of three runs in the seventh on singles
