Special Despatch to THE New YORK HEnAtn
ST. LOUIS June 1.-THE Cardinals
scored their eighth straight victory to-
day. Fair enough! But it was at the
expense of the Giants, and by an In
considerate score of to 3. Moreover.
1t was the fourth consecutive defeat
for the Giants, who not only are losing
often but by one sided scores.
The Giants were still in their gem
eral decline. Their hits were scattered
and generally with two out, and they
couldn't produce timely punches. When
they did show an inclination to hit the
ball earnestly and TO some purpose
they were thrown back by exceptional
play in the st. Louis outfield. The
backbone of their attack was broken
by this defence and they were lack
ing in energy and life. Kelly is still
in his slump. He made one hit, but IL
was a scratch For in and out work
the showing of the Giants thus far on
this trip is conspicuous.
Doc Lavan obliged with an error at
an opportune moment in the first in
ming and gave the Giants run. The
error was made on Kely's grounder
after Bancrofts bunt and F'rschs SIM
gle. Bancroft scored from recond on
the detection of the Cardinal shortstop.
King then drove McHenry back to the
fence for wicked liner. Schupp was
lucky to get off with one run.
Cards Soon Take Lead.
This narrow lead did not last longer
than the flick of lambs tail. Smith
doubled. Fournier singled and the Car
dinals had a run in their half Then
when stock sacrificed and Schultz sim
ged they had two runs When Nc
Henry doubled they had three runs. A
truly torrid greeting for Douglas-four
hits and three runs right off the bat.
| Douglas and Burns singled in the sec
! ond with two out. Once more Schupp
was swathed in luck. A shot TO centre
! by Bancroft which appeared to be
sure fire hit was swallowed up in Jack
! Smiths glove, brilliant catch and
/ playing hard to beat. McHenry made
a sliding shoestring catch off Frisch in
/ the third-more yeggman stuff. Brown
| and Kelly splashed the pastime with
hits. and when Schupp filled the hases
| by passing King Schupp passed out OF
! the action.
Enter Willie Doak On the first bal
| pitched Rapp hit tamely 10 Stock
whose throw home forced Brown. Earl
Smith grabbed cudgel, batted for Sny-
der and was thrown out by Doak. The
Giants wasted a lot OF hits.
| The second and third innings for the
| Cardinals were just a lull in the storm.
1t broke anew on Douglas in the fourth
! and forced him to the shelter of the
/ showers. McHenry. Lavan and Clemons
made ringing hits Ryan. who succeeded
Douglas. made wild pitch Kelly made
fun blown error on a grounder and the
voracious Cardinals made three large
and unlovely runs.
Monroe and Brown Come In.
! McGraw supplanted two OF his regu-
/ lars. King and Rapp. with younger
! blood In the fifth. II was just as well.
/ II not better. for King and Rapp were
/ doing anything but brilliantly in the
! field They covered no ground to speak
! Of Munroe batted in Brown after the
/ latter's hit and steal. Then ne went to
/ second base while Frisch shifted 10
adorn his old place al the third salient.
The first hit off Ryan was a triple by
j. Smith in the seventh. He laid the
shillelah against a slow ball and right
back OF him Fournier pat the ash TO a
home run into the right field bleachers.
/ Hornsby tried TO ring In on the clout-
] ing but Brown ran back and clutched
his liner
! Young was out Of the game with his
/ bad leg hut Brown gathered bingles
/ freely as fourth place hitter pro TEN.
| He batted IN run in the ninth. Ryan
/ pitched well after Douglas had been
