Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HrRA1D
ST.. LOUIS, June 12.--After hits by Cur
lis Walker and Johnny Monroe. young
gentlemen recruited from Dixie clubs,
had batted the Giants into the lead In
the ninth inning to-day. the Cardinals
won IN their half with two out. The
score was to g. Milton Stock, onetime
Giant, got double off Toney TO right
and showed two runs over all in heap,
making nine straight for the Cardinals.
Between the first and second innings the
Giants did only scattered and infrequent
hitting. and what hits they made in that
period were with one or two out. The
game was exciting and we'll played, with
the Giants being outbatted McGraw
shook up his team ana it played better
than It had been playing.
Changes forecast by yesterdays shifts
IN the New York inf1eld were in effect
to-day when the Giants went to their
places for play. Frank Frisch was back
at third base, where too many opposing
drives have been getting through lately
and young Mr.. Munroe was told to take
care of second to the best of his ability.
Kings work in centre has been below
par. but with a right handler on the
mound for st. Louis he wouldn't have
been in the lineup anyway. Whether
McGraw will restore Rapp to third base
depends. OF course, on developments, but
his fielding and hitting have been a dis
appointment and a siege on the bench
may benefit him.
Frisch's Hit Scores Bancroft.
Bill Pertica's first flip to the plate was
reversed by George Burns for base hit.
Lavan's fine stop of Bancroft's stinging
smash forced Burns. but Frisch nailed
the first pitch for two bases and scored
Bancroft. McHenry made sensational
stab into the air and throttled Kelly's
hurricane liner to left. The Giants went
TO the field wondering how long the Mis-
sourians could keep up that highway
robbery. a lot of which was spilled yes
terday.
Fournier tripled in the st. Louis half.
but was run down when Stock bounced

they saw a run In the offing in the
fourth when Stock opened with single
with Hornsby on deck, but Rogers "Pepp
1Iornsby, the dreaded mauler, rolled
ir q slow one to Barnes for q double
play. Pep" Hornsby grumbled over the
decision calling him out and the bugs
howled loudly. They did not know
whether the decision was close or not,
but took their cue from Hornsby. who
aims to want all close ones. although
the umpires have not missed decision
in the series.
Through the first five Innings the
ritihing was tight and trim and the field
ing crisp and clean. Bancroft hunted
himself out In the sixth. bunting at a
third strike and fouling it Nobody was

the manner OF their demise.
Hit him in the head, he's no good.
anyway" yelled a fan when Bancroft
was at bat, which prendo savemary may
have been due to the heat or to the fact
that the fan was peeved at the home
teams string OF zeros.
Hornsby Gets Three BaEger.
However, a Cardinal run was inmi-
nent in the sixth. Fournier doubled TO
left and Stock sacrificed. The run be-
came a reality when Hornsby was al
lowed to hit instead of being passed
and he tripled to right. The fans were
still yelling in ecstasy when Frisch made
n beautiful jumping catch Of Schultz's
liner. McHenry's hit to short centre
sent Hornsby in and sent the Cardinals
10 the front.
No town except Brooklyn ties this
one for unfair and senseless PARTISAN
ship, and when Hornsby was called
out at first in the eighth with the rases
filled, Quigley was abused to the Aiint,
though his decision appeared TO be cor
rect Nothing is correct in st. Louis
or Brooklyn unless the home team gets
It. Hornsby raved n while, but was
allowed to stay In the game.
The Giants made a bid in the eighth.
After Young had been called out on
strikes and hurled hin bat sky high
Burns walked and Bancroft singled.
THAT was all. Easy flies from Frisch

IN the ninth, but 1t was a liner to
Smith and an out. Walker doubled Off
Smiths shanks and young Mr.. Monroe
up and popped n home run into the
right field roost.
Lots OF jockeylng in the ST. Louis
ninth. Clemons singled and Dilhoefer
ran for him. King went to centre field
IN Browns place Mann nit for Pertica
and beat out a bunt. Janvrin batted
for Jack Smith. and after two foul
bunts by him Toney relieved Sallee.
"Oh. you big buml" was the cry Of
the fans. Janvrin's tap to Monroe ad-
vanced the two runners, and Fournier
the walloper. came up. He popped to
Bancroft. Stock singled to right, two
runs romped in and the Giants had lost
their fifth straight game. The score;
