The score was : to /. which about
represents the difference in the pitch
ing strength Of the teams for the day.
As a result of the victory the Superbas
rose 10 the head Of the second division.
for the Cardinals lost 20 the Phillles.
The Reds are in sixth position.
Dell was AZ his best He allowed two
hits, so remotely scattered that the
crowd had forgotten the incident OF
one before the other occurred. A sim
gle bv Mollwitz in the second inning
and another by Griffith in the seventh
prevented Dell from achieving no-hit
fame. Dell was a bit unsteady. and
issued six bases on balls. Bad judg
ment BY Herzog. who struck out on a
ball that was foot high and way in
side, saved him from another.
The Reds made little use Of these
chances. however. for Herzog pitted
the speed of his men against the ac-
Curacy Of Otto Miller's arm. He came
off a sadder but wiser man. for Moonie
was at his best and threw them all out
but Joe Wagner. Three Of the Reds tried
Miller out. and came UP covered with
dust and shaking their heads.
Wagner Scores Lone Run.

Wagner's hopper. throwing wide and
the runner was safe. Wagner pilfered

rortunity by lacng 4 ball into left CEN

occurrence by passing Leach, and both /
advanced on Herzog's out at first. The /
hard-hitting Heinie Groh popped to
O'Mara, and Daubert and Dell took care
of Twombly.
Dell scored his fourth straight vic |

and has allowed forty-one hits, from

Some Of these runs might have been 1
prevented by alright fielding, but the

The confidence inspired by the pres /
ence OF Dell was apparent in every |
move OF the team. The men were on |
their toes. lighting for every break and |
making the breaks when none came ,

himself, despite his one bungle. He
