At Robison Field, the New York Giants clip the St. Louis Cardinals, 5 – 1 and 4 – 0, with the help of two additions to the lineup. Cy Seymour, last year’s near Triple Crown winner, is a new addition from the Cincinnati Reds for $12,000. Seymour was with the Giants from 1896to 1900 as a pitcher and outfielder, and in 1905 led the National League in batting, RBIs, slugging percentage, and was 2nd in homers (8). Cy has four hits for the Giants today. The other addition is Spike Shannon, who moves over from the Cardinal dugout in exchange for Sam Mertesand Doc Marshall. Spike has three hits and two runs in the opener. Christy Mathewson wins the nitecap, shutting out the Birds on six hits.
