we're beaten by the rampant h.,
Brooklyn now holds forth in frs. M,

ample.
The work of Cheney wa. most ,,-.
mendable. lie allowed fy. hits dury
his tenure Of Office and retired Mn, !,
the Mound City aggregation over 4,
strike-out route. Just once did 4,
Cardinals threaten to crash throurh !
lines. and then q sterling throv ;
Casey Stengel cut down Smith q, r.
plate. The tally in the ninth inniy
was scored because Otto Miller refuse
TO recognize Bob Bescher, who pliers
second and third unmolested and iir
scored when Olson dropped Snytefi
fly in left field. This tally VS.. NJ
earned. and will not be charged sn,s
Larry in the official averages.
We're deliberation considered % Il
asset Lott would be one Of ii, sr
pitchers of the league. He stand N
the rubber as if he had all dsl ~
winds up carefully before dslHrrs
the ball. He dug a pit for hlnvt y
the first inning By issuing bass
balls TO Jimmie Johnston, Casey 81
gel and Buck Wheat. and the ~
named scored when Cutshaw loo',;
hy to Bob Beschcr Wheat was es1r'
between first and second and was y
bled up. Bescher to Gonzales 70 aF
der. and so ended the inning
All things considered. Joe was tsv
fortunate TO escape with singt ~
scored against him, and when ne sD''
led down in the next three innings =
fans wondered If he would falter SO .
This doubt was removed in the ~
frame.
With one out in the fifth, Dsssr
bea, on, n perfectlv placed bunt W.
Stengel at the bat. the hit and run pa
was ordered, and Stengel came thrG.s
splendidly. lie ripped a double n','
the left field foul line. and DsaN,
made the trip az top speed. Iha' y.
tied the score. and the sppreea"'
crowd applauded.
