BACKSTOP BREAKS HIS LEG

Accident to Lou McCarty of Giants May Put Him Out of Game for th© Balance of Season. In the game of June 7 Catcher LoU McCarty of the Giants, sliding back to first base in»the fourth inning, broke a bone in his right leg. It is feared he will be out for the rest of the season.

McGraw has Rariden, Gibson and Kreuker to fall back on for backstopping, but none are equal to McCartey, either as a catcher or a hitter, and there is gloom in New York.
