New-York tribune., 1922-08-27


sion for the McGrawmen, stretched the
lead Of the champions to six and one
half games over the Cardinals and
seven games over the Cubs. The two
successes here have had a discouraging
effect on the fans, who had hopes OF
their favorites winning three straight
and getting back into the penuant
fight. The fans out this way arc oil
but convinced now thatsthe Cardinal
hope is dead for another year at least
A poor start by the Giants this after
noon made St. Louis victory APPEAR
probable, but the champions came
along fast after the fifth inning and
won the game. Earl Smiths home run
in the eighth sent in run ahead and
settled the contest in New York's
favor. Two homers by pinch hitters
were among the features.
CIemons Is Exiled
Doak's control was wayward in the
first inning and he passed Bancroft.
Heine Groh wouldn't be passed. he
hit double, and Bancroft came surg
ing home.
The second wrangle of the inning
came when Sentell called ball on
Frisch The Cardinals were grabbing
and Clemons was put out Of the game
for an excess of Grabbing. Doak set
tied right nicely after that, and.
though he passed Young, he struck out
Kelly with two on bases.
Scott began as Doak did, with pass.

Of the whip, and Stock also walked.
Ryan hurried to the bullpen. Hornsby
bunted and Scott threw him out. He
could have thrown Smith out mile
or two at third. Bottomly hit sting
ing single off the first ball and two
more sharp singles convinced McGraw
it was not SCOTS day. Ryan to the
mound Scott had less stuff than in
any previous experience in New York
toggery. The entire assault netted
three runs.
Snyder beat out punt in the Sec
ond He doesn't often do that, but
Stock elected to let the ball roll and
it trickled all the way to the bag with
out crossing the foul line. The bunt
was the only New York output for
the inning. The st. Louis yield was
even less.
Some fan shouted to Groh in the
third to go back to CincinnatiI'' and
also called him q wop. Heirie did not
go back To Cincinnati; he hit fly
and went back to the bench, but ne
went as far that inning rs any other
Giant. From free action first inning
the game became meager in action,
with pitchers prevailing. Only one
New York standard berer was on first
in the second, third and fourth inn
ings. Ryan, over the same interval,
held the Cardinals in a grip just as
'viseHke.
Two Runs for Cards
Ginger was as scarce as air in a
vacuum, but Stock and Hornsby awoke
the ST. Louis echoes in the fifth. Ryan
favored Stock with 8 stroll and short
fly ball poke by Hornsby popped over
Young's head for a triple The
'fortuitous hit added a loaf to the st
Louis lardcr. Then with Hornsby on
third and none out, Ryan put on the
brakes, bore down well and nobody
else knocked the ball out of the in
field.
After four innings of inaction the
GIANTS kicked up rumpus in the sixth.
Frisch's double and Young's single
brought in run with two out. KelIy's
double put Young on third and q
wild pitch scored him. Stengel struck
out and left the tieing run on third
base.
McGraw called in some fresh units
in the seventh after Doak had passed
Snyder. King ran for Snyder and
Robertson batted for Ryan. Davy
lifted high fly into the right field
coop for home run. Peerless pinch
hitting that was and the Giants were
ahead on the strength of it. Frisch
drilled home run liner to the same
stand and in the same inning.
When Robertson made his homer
Coach Dolan made sure he touched
fnrst base by halting him and having
him touch it. He had plenty of time.
= Jonnard was the New York pitcher in
the seventh and the Incompatible
hornsby tilted his thirty-hrst home
run, line swipe into the right field
bleachers. Hornsby had made
sacrifice, single, triple and homer.
Crescendo clubbing, that.
The Cardinals took kindly to JON
nard. Mueller doubled with two out.
and only Stengei's shosstring catch Of
Schultze's liner kept the Giants ahead.
Young doubled in the eighth, Kelly
sacrificed and Hornsby iuggled
Stengel's grounder$ just long enough
for Young to score. Smith, in this
inning, bumped the, fourth home run
OF the game, a sky high lift into the
same old bieacher.
:, Jonnard was shaky. A home run by
Nonrnier, the second pinch hitter TO
make one and into the righa field crowd
as usual, drove in a run ahead of il
in the eighth and drove Jonnard into
retirement. Jesse Barnes went to the
mesa.
