New-York tribune., 1922-05-11

Nchf, who on his two previous ap-
hard, to-day held the slugging Hickey
ner to ten safetics. but his own three
singles out Of four timos a. bat proved
the big feature and the main factor in
the Giants victory.
Resenting the fact that Earl Smith
was passed in the fifth to get at him,
Nehf slashed hard single to center
with the bases filed and drove in two
runs. hen he came up in the seventh
ne found Smitty on second and sent
him in with another single to center.
in the ninth, with Barfoot having re-
placed Ed Pfefer on the mound, Nchf
made third single. putting Smith on
third. SO Nehf got nearly half Of the
Giants seven hits.
The heaviest Cardinals batting Of
fcnsive was home run by Eornsby
in1o the stands in the seventh. They
showed over another tally in the eighth,
but Arthur frightened then and retired
thhm in order in the ninth.
Pfeffer Starts Well
For three innings big I'd PfeFer,
thh old exRobin. set down the Giants
III order, without trace Of hit being
nFda off his delivery. Bancroft. 10
start the fourth. got the Champions
first safe blow, d single to corter
Then it ha ppened, meaning son,e
runs for the Giants. Young started
the fifth fortuitously By Sowing at
Pfefer and persuading him TO hand
out ticket to first. Meusel obliged
with a single TO center. Young
skittering to third Meusel moved to
second while Fournier was performing
the ceremony Of tagging out Kelly or
puny grounder along the base line,
The ambitious SINNERS tried to knock
the ball out of the lot. but only sue
cecded in wrcathing his neck with a
triple circlet Of fruitiess Wild swings.
THIS brought up to the plate Earl
Smith. the blond and batterng catcher.
A council Of war was called and il was
voted to pass "Smitty" and take a
chance on Nehf, deemed an Indifferent
hitter, because he is pitcher.
This plan was carried out and Nehf,
nervously wigglng his bat, saw before
him three Giant runners beseechng
to be brought home. Arthur did the
best he could. but only succeeded in
bringing in two Of them. This he did
by crossing UP the Cards and slipping
an unexpected single into an unpopu-
lated portion Of center field. Young
and Meusel scamperirg over the plate.
Nehf Bobs Up Again
Nehi bobbed up again in the sew
enth in Babe Ruth role. Kelly began
this frame with perfectly good dou-
bic to right and went to third on Shin
ners's sacrifice. but was run down near
the plate on L. Smiths tap TO Four
nier, "Smitty" slipping to second while
the excitement was tense at the plat
ter. Before any St. Louis strategy
could devise preventive Nehf
cracked out another single to center
and Earl, of Smith, came home in a
cloud of dust, despite the fact that
there had been heavy rain earlier IN
the afternoon.
This unusual effort evidently weak
ened the Terre Haute southpaw, for in
the Cardinals half OF the seventh,
socked one into the right field
bleachers for home run, chopping
short the Giants pitching staf's streak
Of scoreless innings at 80: The last
previous scoring on the Giants hap
pened in the sixth inning of last Sat
urdays fourteen-nning affair.
The Cards rushed over their second
tally in the eighth when "Tubby"
Clemons doubled to deep left, Heath
cote being sent TO run for him and
doing it nicely on Mann's single to
center. The score:
