, than one and the most impressive OF
| these. a three-base clout to left center
by Barnes. unfortunately was evolved
at a time when the bases were unoccu-
pied Sisler connected for one that
nettcd the same distance. due to his
skill with a fall-away slide past the
! third baSeman, who had the ball wait
| ing for him. and 1t served to chase In
| two Of his mates. while Sam West and
Joe Judge also came through with line
singles that were factors in q run
Clarence Cricket" Grimm, left-hand-
er, alone OF the three Harrisian
moundSmen escaped being scored on;
Ed Wells another southpaw, made an
equally impressive showing. however,
despite the fact he was on the ruooer
when the decisive tally accrued In the
final round. Luther Roy. the right
! handler from Kansas City, alone was
subjected to severe punishment. More
than half OF the Cards total OF l3
| bingles were achieved at his expense,
five of them In one inning, but 1t must
be said that he suffered greatly from
the failure of Oss Blucge and Benny
Tate to collaborate in that hectic ses-
sion which netted the aliens whole
| handful of tallies.
Griffin was on the hill when the
battle started and despite jam created
| by Grant Gillis in uncorking a wild
heave right at the outset. eased out
with the aid Of double play initiated
by that worthy. and after SICK second
inning emerged from another hole In
the third when Gillis started second
.wo-ply killing.
Roy Gets Poor Start.
Roy went to the hill with the start
of the fourth and the first two men to
face him hit safely. He got rid OF the
next fellow. but the following two also
sent the ball skipping to un2uarded
spots. This gave the Cards pair OF
tallies to partially offset the three al
ready obtained by the Harrismen.
Bluege then followed a swell stop with
a sizzling peg that whizZed past Tate
at the plate for two more runs and the
beneficiary of this er:cr, charged to
Oss, but the failure to snare which
Benny admits culpability, later counted
on still another safety.
Roy showed great Improvement in his
mex: frat,e ard also contrived TO get
safely through the sixth thanks to
twin death st1r.ed in spectacular style
by Bobby Reeves, ard as the Grifis
tailed twice in the seventh when Wells
took up the hurting burden, the count
was Jolly we'll knotted when the CARDS
came up in the ninth. One bloke led
with a handle-hit Texas Lacquer, and
when Wells lost the next man by trying
to cut the corners too fine. 'ie was in
tight place, which got tighter when
the third man beat out we'll placed
bunt to fill the bases. Wells buckled to
his task with lots OF courage and got
a fine hand when he famed the famous
frankie Frisch. but somebody else came
up then and lifted a fiy which Foster
Camel couldn't return to the plate be-
fore the runner reached there from
third base and so that was all for the
day.
Griffin impressed observers with the
workmanlike manner In which he went
about his business and showed graft
flying degree Of control. Wells also was
steady and displayed plenty Of stuff.
These forkhanders are assured OF fur
ther tests In the four games listed TO
be played next week.
