fqf three tend innings the game De-
tween the Giants and the Cardinals ct
the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon
was u pitchers battle of the old type.
For three pretty frames ii was Arthur
Nehf and his left handed speed ball
against Roy Walker and his right handed
curve, and It was six of one and half
dozen of the other. But that fourth

Earl Smith punctuated 1t with home
run with tae bases full--and the frost
was on the pumpkin and the corn was
In the shock
The Giants kept right on hitting
against three ST Louis singers and add
ing 10 their total. II the kind hearted
Nehf, with lead of seven runs. had
not let up in the eighth and permitted
the run hungry Clouting Circus to gather

Yorks walked in by score of Q TO 4.
It's pretty tough to get all sllcked up
for a gorging carnival and then to run
into a near famine. But that has been
the experience OF the Cardinals. hitting
leaders of the league, in their two en-
counters with the New Yorks. Yester-
day they got to Nehf for a pair of sim
giles in the third. but failed to score.
They got another single IN the sixth and
81 triple in the seVenth-four hits up 10

going at high speed and high tension,
decided 10 conserve his power Tor an
other day and let the Cards have a

Nehf Hurt by Liner.
They made two more in the ninth and
forced Nehf to leave the game In favor
OF Douglas with painful injury.
Fouraier smashed a terrific liner st the
southpaw who refused TO say How do
you do. and ne tried to stop it with his
gloved hand. Btu it almost broke the
nand loose from the wrist and car1cmed

In spite OF the glove Nehf suffered n
very bad bruise. Last night he was
hoping that no small bones had been
broken.
While Nehs was pitching well he re-
ceived support in keeping with the cali
bre OF his work. But as soon as he be-
came bit carefree and careless his
mates took it a hint to go and do
likewise, and there was considerable
loose work IN the inheld Until the

and grass cutters with speed and pre-
cision that were positively uncanny.
Bancroft dashed beyond second in the
second inning 70 commit downright lar

similar trick against Hornsby In the
sixth. Bannie is playing the greatest
shortstop game in either league. Frischs
masterpiece was his catch of Schultz's
loaded llaer in the seventh.
Frisch starts Rally.
For three innings the attack of the
Giants against Walker was represented
by q dinlSy single by Walker. But there
was something lusty about the single to

that poor bali into the upper tier OF the
right field stand
While the pellet crashed into con-
