He filled the bases on passes in the second, and Cardinals hasti- | Iy formed mittee to welcome the runs over the plate. Walker, however, so changed his tactics that one Cardinal got past third base on him through the rest of the afternoon. The great bats of the St. Louis sluggers accohinted for just one hit among them in the eight innings Walker pitched, while the Giants were pecking away at Messrs Reinhart, Haid and John- son for just enough runs to win by 610 4. Cincinnati slid back into third place by losing to the Robins, 4 to 3. Old Bill Doak suddenly found himself rid of lumbago as Bancroft and others did some smart hitting behind him.
