Special Despatch to THE NEW YoEK HERALD.
ST. LOUIS. June i4.-So much growing
and bucolic chuckling was going on here
over three defeats of the Giants that it
was evident the Hicks corners fans never
were going to lose another game. by
gravy. Therefore 1t was a severe jolt
to them to-day to see the Giants trim
their pet Cardinals 6 to 4 in the last
game of the series. and as they refec-
lively ran their fingers through their
whiskers to comb the whisps of hay
therefrom It dawned on them that ten
straight victories don't spell pennant
and that an early season fash doesn't
mean there are no other clubs in the
race.
The Giants made G poor start the Car
dinals a good one. Not Giant hit the
ball hard in the first inning, but for the
local lights Stock doubled after Toney
had fumbled Smiths bunt. SO Smith, a
speedster. scored. 1t might have been
worse, for Hornsby scratched a hit and
put two on with one out. A double play
solved that difficulty.
walker Wastes Time.
Walker, the ST. Louis pitcher, did lot
of time wasting while the rain clouds
gathered. He is one of those tiresomely
slow moundmen who make game dull
and who ought to be reprimanded by the
powers that be. 1t took him the best
part of day to strike out Monroe In
the second. The latter as yet has added
no hitting strength Ito the club. With
rain threatening. and his club ahead
Pitcher Walkers siowness was against
the interests of his own club, If he had
sense enough to know 1t.
The Giants made their first run when
Young singled in the fourth. He batted
in Bancrofe, who had walked and adj
vanced peg on F'rlsch's roller to Horns
by. Youngs hit was New Yorks first.
Kelly, with a man on and a chance for
further harvest, popped fly No. from
his wagon tongue of the moribund pro-
clivities. Fournier made q grand play
on C. Walkers grounder, but 1t didn't
get half the applause that Shower plays
have received here. st. Louis fans
seemed to prefer glitter to merit.
Gotham's second hit was double by
Frisch in the sixth with swo out. Where
upon, with the thunder rumbling and a
chance TO clinch the game, Young
promptly shot fly to Schultz. In the
seventh, after Kelly had serenely al
lowed a third strike to whistle over. c.
Walker gated the other Walker for a
scratch single which Hornsby threw
wild. c.. Walker galloped to the half
way put. Monroe fouled TO Stock. E..
Smith was passed on purpose and Toney
forced him with a harmless chop.
An Exciting Finish.
Toney gave a base on balls to Nc
Henry in the seventh, and thereby the
whole applicant was upset. Monroe
booted Lavan's grounder. but had he
had his wits about him could have
thrown out McHenry. who had turned
second. His double detection was pain
fully costly, for after scratch hit by
Clemens r. Walker flied to G. Walker
and McHenry scored. Lavan skipped In
behind him when f. Smith paved fran
tically but futilely at c. Walkers
throw In. The New York spasm netted
two st. Louis runs
But the Giants did not give UP.
They started something in their eighth.
Burns walked and Bancroft's hit plus ].
Smiths tumble waited him to third. r.
Walter had him nailed when a poor first
cousin to a squeeze was tried, but
Clemons made IA high throw to Stock
and Burns returned safely.
r. Walker and a large part of the rest
of the st Louis defence then cracked
completely, and hits by Young and
Kelly drove in three more runs. Clemons
helped with a rattle Drained throw
when Young was making a dog trot steal
of second--no faster than that. Young
loafed to draw throw and was sue
cessful. The score:
