New York, Aug. % Ps-Frank Frisch, star second baseman and captain of the New York Giants, who left his team In St. Louis last Saturday because of illness will re- join the club when it opens the Brooklyn series Sunday. Frisch had planned to rejoin the club for the present series in Cincinnati but his physician advised against travelling at this time.
 The Giant field leader had been confined to his bed since his arrival here with a cold. 'I felt sick and miserable and thought that the best thing to do would be to get home where my own folks could take care of me-" he said in explaining his reason for quitting the club without notice.
 T am sure that I will be able to impress McGraw with the justice of my action," he added. "McGraw knows all about it. He realizes that if I quit the club there was a good reason for it. There is nothing to the story that we had hot argu- ment over my playing"
