'he McGraw men expect to finish the
season at the head Of the pack they will
nave to take an immediate brace; also,
they will have to show great improve
:nent in their all-around playing, as
their efforts yesterday were painful to
| behold.
Giants Pull Triple Play
The spectators were treated to one
Of the rarities Of baseball, triple play,
which same in the Cards half of the
seventh inning. There were three men
on bases at the time and none out, when
Lavan drove liner to Kelly, who
| stepped on first and then completed the
play, by throwing to Bancroft and
catching Hornsby off second.
Southpaw Artie Nehf, who started on
the mound for the home team, did not
| possess his usual effectiveness, and the
visitors chased him to cover in the
| fifth inning. Nehf received some very
poor support, but he was also partly
responsible for His own downfall.
With two men on base and two out
| in the second inning he "grooved" one
for Dillhoefer after three balls had
been called on the batter, and the
visitors catcher promptly slammed out
a single which scored both runners. 1t
would have been much wiser for Nehf
to have passed Dillhoefcr and then to
have taken q chance on uaines, who is
q very weak hitter.
Sheriff Slim Sallee made his first ap-
! pearance on the home lot as Giant
this season when he relieved Nehf in
the fifth inning. The newcomer Jared
much better than his predecessor, but
he was taken out in favor Of q pinch
hitter in the eighth, and Pol Perritt
pitched the final inning.
| Joaoo Holmes tho Corda' vounr
twirler, was rather wild, but the home
players simply would not take odvan-
sage Of his lack of control. Haines
| was effective with men on the bases,
however, and he received fine support
from his mates. He cracked badly in
the ninth, when the Giants pulled their
rally, butt Bherdell stepped to the
mound and put an abrupt end to the
uprising.
An error by King in the second in
ming paved the way for the Western
er's first pair Of runs. Hornsby, the
irst batter, drew base on balls, and
McHenry then lifted q fly to King. The
outficlder dropped the ball and Horns
by sprinted to third, while McHcnry
reached second. Lavan went out on a
yrounder to Bancroft, and Heathcote
struck out, Dillhofer shot single be-
wcen Frisch and Bancroft which
chased both runners across. Haines

Giants Pass Up Chances
The first batter in the second half
Of each of the first five innings reached
frst base, but the Giants refused to
resort to the sacrifice and thus passed
up many & chance to score. Burns
opened the first with a single to LETT,
but he was promptly caught stealing
and the next two batters went out in
order.
Frisch led off in the second with a
single through Hornsby, but he was
left stranded, as Kelly struck out.
King flied to McHenry, and Doyle
grounded to Hornsby Smith, the first
batter in the third inning, drew base
on balls, but Nehf forced him at sec
ond on a grounder to Janvrin, and
Burns and Bancroft lifted flies to
Schultz.
Once again. Young walked in the
fourth inning with none out. FrIsch
vent out on fly to Heathcote, but
Kelly drove a single to lett. King
popped to Stock, and Doyle received
free pass, filling the bases. Earl Smith
chen grounded to Hornsby, and Doyle
was forced at second for the third out.
The Giants had still another oppor-
tunity in the fifth, when Sallee walked
with none out, but Burns forced him at
second and Bancroft hit a line drive
into Hornsby's hands, which was con-
verted into a double play.
The Cards had previously increased
their lead in their half of the fifth by
chasing three more runs across. Dill
hoefer led off with his second hit, a
double to right. Haincs attempted to
sacrifice, but was safe when Frsch
