Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
ST LOUIS, Aug. 5.-One game was
saved out of the wreckage here by the
Giants this afternoon, one game sal
vaged by the finest fighting spirit which
the New Yorks have shown on the cur
rent invasion OF the West Hurting into
their attack all the fury and deternina-
ton born of three successive setbacks,
the pennant contenders triumphed over
the Cardinals by a score OF to l.
Standing out as the heroes OF the day
were Tony and F'risch. Again the st.
Louis legion, aching to heap parting
indignity on the New Yorks, played
notches beyond It's normal speed. Again
the local infielders and outflelders out
did themselves in converting brilliant
bids for hits into brilliant outs. Again
the crowd, which numbered 10000.
hurled invectives against McGraw's bat
tiers. but New York just had to win.
AS for the heroes. Tony kept the Car
dinals at bay inning after inning after
they had put two hits together for their
run in the second, and Frisch hammered
out a triple which drove in the Giants
tallies in the third. Frisch was a clout-
and a single in addition to his allcon-
qvering wallop. He also stole couple
OF bases.
Toney gave one Of the greatest pitch
Ing exhibitions OF the season. True. the
Cardinals reached the Giant Highlander
for eight hits and a run. True, they
threatened time and again, but it was
because the enemy threatened that
Toneys work loomed up so magnificently.
Toney Proves His Mettle.
1t was the eighth frame. with the
crowd unrelenting in It's fierce verbal
attack. that Toney proved his mettle.
Mueller opened with a two bagger to
centre and Stock bounced hit off
Toney's upstretched glovs. Hornsby
was up next and New York's advantage
appeared to be worth about three cents.
The crowd howled for homer Toney
pitched two wide ones and gave the I'M
preston that he was going to pass the
batting king Of the league. But Toney
fooled him, for Hornsby was called out
on strikes Fournier then grounded to
Rawlings, who made a perfect peg to
Bancroft The shortsop came through
with fine relay to Kelly which doubled
Fournier and silenced the crowd.
St Louis scored first In the second
frame, but F'risch's triple put the Giants
one to the good in the third inning. and
one to the good they remained. The
rally was started after Snyder and Toney
had been retired. Burns waited and
walked and Bancroft soaked his second
hit a single to left. Frisch ignored
walkers high and close pitches ana
finally forced the hurler to lay one In,
which he larruped against the bleacher
fence In right centre. driving in two runs.
Had the Frisch drive gone foot higner
IL would have been home run. Young
second failure to hit left Frisch on thiro.
McHenry's unabated grudge AGAINST
New York bore fruit In the second m
ming. which he opened with double to
left. Lavan's sacrifice sent him to third
and a single to left by Clemons drove him
home with the lone tally of the locals.
Toney had to be in great form TO win,
for the Giants had trouble In locating
Walker
New York Hits Wasted.
Two New York hits went to waste IN
the first inning. Burns opened with q
single but Immediately went out steal
ing. Bancroft singled to centre but
Frisch forced him. Frank stole second,
and then It behooved Young to land on
the ball. He did. Mueller got under It
and the chance went winging.
In the Cards half neat catch by
Firsch of Fournier's foul after Mueller
had singled and Hornsby had walked
prevented trouble.
Kelly and Meusel hit in hard luck IN
the fourth. McHenry robbed George or
a triple by spearing his liner near the
left field bleacher fence while on dead
run. Mueller backed up against the
barrier in right centre for the hardest
ride Meusel had given to the ball In six
games.
A double play with the impetus fur
nished by Burns stopped the Giants after
Snyder had started the fifth with hit.
In the sixth, after Lavan had robbed
Bancroft of his third hit. Frisch drove
double to the corner In left field, but
his frisking around in the midway
proved fatal, for he was caught off the
bag.
Still another New York double was
tossed away In the next frame. Raw
lings got IT with one out and fingered
while Snyder and Toney flied out
There was n mighty ticklish situation
for Toney and his teammates In the
sevath. Lavan opened with hit and
was worked to third, but Toney knew
too much about Jack Smith and put the
''kibosh" on the attempted rally.
The score:
