Tho Cardinals, ipahiIifv 70 hi, Herr,

Schmidt, Brooklyns midget twirier. lost
them yesterday's game by a score O: TO
Throughout the game the little Brooklyn
wonder" had the Cardinals faded. and he
kept them busily engaged popping up easy
chances TO the in or outfieli.
While the Cardinals were assisting the
Brooklyn tielders TO strengthen their field
Ing averages. the cohorts OF Hanlon were
numerically pounding the curves OF Nike
O'NeiN TO every spot on the green.
In fact. O'Neifs foolishness in trying TO
push the sphere over the middle Of the
hcme plate while the Brooklyn batters de-
Tended the situation with hundred pound
bats resulted in his complete undong. and
at the end OF tn fifth period Donovan or
dereG o'Neil TO do bench duty. AS O'Neill
was getting his in special delivery pack
ages. he cheerfully weuded his way to the
bench in as welcome a promenade as sir
Michael has taken this season.
ONeu! was succeeded by Bridegroom"
Cu-r!e. who let the "Br;dge-Jumpers" down
with one nit and no runs during the four
innings that he occupied the pitchers pro-
.nouitory.
Cu-rie's clever work in the box, however,
aTailed the Cardinals nothing. for five run
ners had crossed the plate before he began
"wooDPILE OF BATS"
What rasped the fans more than any
thing else was the fact that the Brooklyns
only used four bats, while the Cardinals
had woodpile in front of their bench a
foot and nait high The Cardinals must
nave used at least twenty iangerous-look-
ING bats in the manufacture of seven bin
g4es. TWO OF which were made by Donovan
Donovan showed discretion in his choice
OF weapons, for the bat he picked out Of
| the Cardinals woodpile had two Juicy sin
giles concealed under its threatening visage.
Nearly al the rest Of the Cardinals bats
were fun of pop flies, fouls or strike-outs.
Doyle selected a bat that must have been
loaded with Z dozen pounds OF lead. for he
poUnted the. first ball o'Neill pitched to
fence Tor triple. After the drive, Dick"
Gilmore ordered a repair man out to patch
up the damage D0y!e'S vicious drive had
done to the fence.
Strans also connected with ORC of
U Neills drops for three sacks.
As q fielding exhibition the game was
about as fast as January molasses. both
teams having two errors charged Up against
EMsLIE HAD AN OFF DAY.
To help matters along Bob Brnsiie gave
two rather close decisions against the
Cardinals. On both plays he may have been
right.s but from the stand his decisions
| looked to be a bit of.
In the first inning Farrell tried TO steal
| second. Jacklitsch sailed the ball to second,
\ and Dahlen ran in over the bag on the
| throw. AS soon as he caught the ball he
| made a. 'Jefries' lab at the sliding Far
rell. but missed him. He tried L over
| again, and E-nsiie counted ten" on Far
| rell-
| Brooklyn made two runs in the frs. In
| ming. Strang walked. Sheckard hunted
| safely. Dobhs flew to Donovan. McCreedie
| raped into Williams. who tossed to Brain
| in time to head of Strang. Doyle raped
| out a three-bagger. scoring McCTeedie and
sheckard. Dahlen out to Williams.
/ The Cardinals scored their first run in the
bird inning. Williams hunted safely.
| O'Neil did likewise, Williams taking third
| on Schmidt's bad throw. N J. O'Neu
| popped up 10 Strang. Farrell grounded TO
| Doyle, Williams scoring on the put-out
| Donovan popped 20 Dahlen.
Brooklyn pounded out three runs of
