Three St. Louis Pitchers Fail
TO Halt attack Of Local Team,
Toney Pitches Well as
Mates Pound Out Easy
Victory by Z to 4 Score


After suffering an overwhelming de-
1eat IN the first game of the series with
the Cardinals, the Giants came back
with vengeance yesterday afternoon
and easily took the second contest from
Branch Rickey's outfit by q score of 7
to a. The ponderous Fred Toney held
the visitors pretty we'll in check almost
all the way and allowed only seven hits
until the ninth, when ne eased up and
was found for three more.
While Toney was breezing along at
fine rate, his mates were humping
three St. Louis pitchers with consider
able frequency. They pounded out a
total Of eleven hits, including triple
and two doubles. Old Bill Bailey, who
started on the mound for the Western
ers, was plastered pretty badly until
he was taken out in the fifth inning to
allow Heathcote to bat for him. Roy
Walker then assumed the pitching bur-
den, and he also was removed in favor
of q pinch hitter. Lew North retired
his opponents in order in the last two
innings.
Eddie Ainsmith, former catcher Of
the Senators and the Tigers, who was
behind the bat for the Cardinals, helped
the cause Of the home club to q great
extent with his poor throwing. AS q
result the Giants stole five bases. The
Giants gave the veteran catcher quite a
"riding," and at one stage Of the game
he started toward their dugout with the
avowed purpose of cleaning up" the
whole team He was interrupted on his
way, however, by several of the St.
Louis players and was persuaded to re
turn to his post.
Meusel Connects for Double
The Giants bumped Bailey for two
hits in the first, but it was not until the
second that they showed a run across.
In that inning Meusel led off with a
two-bagger to left field, and then took
third on a sacrifice by Rawlings. Sny-
der drew a base on balls and stole
second moment later, with the aid of
a short passed ball Meusel scored and
Snyder reached third when Toney
grounded to Lavan. Burns, the next
batter, also rolled one down to Lavan
for the third out.
A glaring error by the renowned
Rogers Hornsby proved Of considerable
assistance to the home players in the
third, and they scored two more runs.
After Bancroft had grounded to Stock
Hornsby dropped Frisch's easy pop fly.
Fordham Frank then sprinted to second
for his forty-second stolen base of the
season.
Young followed with a terrific smash
to right center for three bases, scoring
Frisch. Kelly went out on roller to
the box but Meusel came through with
his second hit, single to center, and
Young tailed. Meusel stole second,
but Rawlings ended the uprising by
striking out.
The Cards had previously damned a
run across in the third, but this was
more than offset by two runs that the
Giants obtained in their half OF that
inning, as told above. Ainsmith shot
single to center, with none out, and
flv. Smith raised one to Young in right
field, but jacques Fournier slammed a
two-bagger to left center, scoring
Ainsmith. and Stock then popped to
Bancroft.
Infield Out Scores Hornsby
The Cardinals scored once again in
run Of tying the count. Hornsby
walked, with none out, and Mueller
beat out bunt to Toney. Both run
ncrs advanced on McHenry's sacrifice.
Hornsby completed the circuit while
Rawlings was tossing out Lavan.
Mueller was left stranded at third,
however, as Ainsmith also grounded to
Rawlings.
Three more hits, base on balls and
some fine base running by Frisch gave
the Giants three runs in their half of
the fourth and enabled them to clinch
the decision. With two out, Burns
walked and stole second. Bancroft
sent him home with two-bagger to
center. Frisch followed with another
double to center, scoring Bancroft
Young then got an infeId hit to Four
nier and Frisch scored all the way
from second base. Young was nailed
stealing for the third out. The Giants
gained their final run in the sixth on
q single by Burns, passed ball,
stolen base and another single by Ban
croft.
In the ninth Lavan led off for the
Cards with a single to center and Ain
smith drew a base on balls. Schultz,
who batted for North, hit into fast
double-play, Bancroft to Rawlings to
Kelly. Smith shot a single to center,
scoring Lavan. Smith roamed down to
second base unmolested and then tai
lied on Fournier's double to right.
Stock then ended the belated rally by
grounding to Bancroft.
