Chicago actually outhit Philadelphia 11-10 but could not get the crucial hit
when they needed it.
Cincinnati
(H) 11 Brooklyn 2 (GM 1)

a seven-run inning in the bottom half of the inning. Lefty

mayhem.
New
York (NL) 23 St. Louis (NL) (H) 3 (GM 1)
The
Cardinals have several young pitchers they have recently added to the roster so
with back-to-back doubleheaders they got their chance and it didn’t go well.
The Giants started with a six-run first and later added on from there with a
seven-run sixth. The Cardinals committed five errors, walked ten batters, and
allowed 25 hits, with Larry Doyle
and Fred
Snodgrass both scoring five runs and Red Murray
driving in six, and Fred Merkle
driving in seven.
New
York (NL) 4 St. Louis (NL) (H) 1 (GM 2)
The
Giants may wish they had saved some of those runs from Game One for Game Two,
but a win is a win and Doc

Two.
