Southpaw Artie Nehf started on the
mound for the home club and, with the !
help of some brilliant support by Frank
Frisch and Ross Young, managed to
last until the fifth inning, when he
made the fatal mistake of walking the
renowned Rogers Hornsby, with two
men on the bases and TWO out, III order
TO get" the supposedly weak hitting
Joe Schultz, who patrols right field
for the Cardinals when the opposing
pitcher is a left handler
Mr.. Schultz lost little time in re-
senting the insult and promptly settled
the outcome of the game by driving
the bali into the left field bleachcrs.
It was the ninth time that this stunt
has been accomplished in the Natona.
League this year. Neht sadly watched
the four runs clatter over the plate
and then gave way to Bill Ryan.

right handler allowed only eight hits
and kept these pretty we'll scattered.

this helped the Giants to score their
lone run.
The one redeeming feature of the
Giants performance was the fielding of
Frisch. In the third inning he made
one of the greatest plays seen at the
Polo Grounds this season. Stock
slammed terrific grounder toward left
field. It looked like a single, but
Frisch dove far to his left came up
with the ball and nailed his man at
frst base. Frisch also made several
other fine plays during the afternoon
His single in the first inning was in
strumental in saving his mates from
shut-out.
The Giants made run in the first
inning, but it was destined to be their
last tally. Burns drew base on balls
and Bancroft went out on a fly to
Schultz. Frisch came through with a
single to center, sending Burns to
third. Fordham Frank made a clean
steal of second. Young rolled one down
to Hornsby, who fumbled the ball long
