New-York tribune., 1922-07-16


inning when the larruping legion
scored three runs and got strangle
hold on the game. Phil Douglas, who
has been taking the kinks out of his
stiff elbow with an electrical contriv-
ance, had to limp into the fray in the
seventh. He prevented the Cards
from getting any more runs and was
hit safely but once.
The Cardinal total hits numbered
but nine, while the Giants made ten
off big Jesse Haines. But Haines had
a crafty noodle as we'll as strong
right arm and he kept his hits dis
creetly sandwiched between outs.
Bancroft, with a double and single,
did the best Of the champs offensive
work and scored two of their runs.
Lose Chance in Ninth
Bancroft also was instrumental IN
scoring the third Giant run, which
came in the last frame He got base
on balls between pinch-hitter Snyder's
double and Rawlings's .nfeld single.
This packed the sacks with one cut.
SINNERS, who was CT third running
for Snyder, scored while Frjseh vas
forcing Rawlings at second, But Meu-
ball out OF the inRel6 ali afternoon,
popped to Toporcer 2ad~the game wa
over.
Toporcer and the ether Cardinal in
tielders leaned into the air and did
few dance steps in their glee, showing
Just how keenlY anxious they are TO
annex every game from the champs,
The spectators IN the stands pulled an
even more jazzy demonstration OF de-
light.
1t was one of the largest crowds of
the St. Louis season. All Of the 1900
seats in the pavilions and bleachers
we're filled, but circus seats and pop
bottle boxes along the foul lines &C
comm odated several thousand more,
and it is estimated q, 900 we're pres
ent. At the Sunday game tomorrow
crowd is expected thai viii push the
fences apart.
Lavan Gets the Air
The irst inning passed with no more
excitement than the expulsion Of Short
stop Johnny Lawn. John kicked too
rudely on a decision that called Frisch
safe at second when Stock pulled q
boner and chased frankie back to sec
ond, with an easy third out in sight
on Meusel's grounder if he had thrown
TO first instead The horn-rimmed Mr.
| Toporcer took Lavan's place. No dam
age was done to the Cardinals from
Stocks mental slip and Lavan's loss of
temper.
In the second the Cards set the
packed stands into blaze of cheering
by slicing into Ryan for a nice juicy
cut of three hits and three runs. With
down Ryan passed Ainsmith, who
| took third on Toporcer's double to
right. Haines's single sent both run
= r., -
wild pitch. After Flack had popped out
and Jack Smith beat out single to
Rawlings, Haines went to third. On
Bancroft's tumble, or rather his slow
handling of Hornsby's grounder, with
force out in sight, Jack Smith was
safe at second and Haines scored
Mueller famed for the third out.
The Cardinals got another in the
| third on Fournier's single, Stocks
sacrifice and Ainsmith's single
Toporcer then grounded out to Kelly
and Haines popped to Bancroft, ending
the inning.
That Was the Winning Run
The Giants managed to get run
across in the fifth. After Ryan had
popped out Bancroft doubled down the
right field foul line. Rawlings's short
fly was captured by Toporcer, but
FTlScn SlnSled TO leIC ana bancroft
registered. Meusel tapped weakly to
Haines for the third out.
Bancroft tailed another run for the
Giants in the seventh. After Cunningham
who had been sent to bat for Ryan,
had fouled out, Captain Davey sin
gled to center and went to third on
Rawlings's one base smash down the
right chalk line. When Frisch forced
Rawlings at second Bancroft scampered
over the plate. Meusel forced Frisch
for the third out.
