For four and a half innings at Ebbets
Field yesterday a friend from 81. Louis
el%oqucntly ~discoursed on the deah OIL
town. My. what a gran oil town II a
Puffcctly wonderful Of town. suah As
youah born.
Hut along about the end Of the NTH
inning tho man from the Mound City
stopped Grating about he glory that
was Greece. the grandeur that was Rome
and the splcndor that was Ct. Louis.
Doggone II all. he opined. since the Mis-
souri, A. c. burned down and Tony
Fausts closed up. st. Louey wasn't st.
Loiiey. no mo-. nohow!
our friend from Missouri offered a
mighty good barometer as to how the
ball game WAS progressing.
During the first four innings. while the
citizen from the Show Me state was
eulogiEing the burg on the banks Of the
Mississippi. Joe Lotz. the Cardinal cur
yer. was banning the Brooklyn bludgeon
wielders with his mystifying slants n
letting 'em down with a pair Of singles
as widely separated as two mile posts.
And right on the reel in the opening
canto Huggins's Hussars had hammered
Jack Coombs for two singles n a dou-
bic and pushed two runs across the plat
tor. neccssitating Uncle Wilbert Robin
son switching to LHrry Cheney as pitcher
In the second.

With " down IN the NTH inning
there came q sudden change. The
demon Dodgers fell upon Lott like wolves
on the fold. BIN! Bang! Boom-m-m !
They Strengthened his Alice.the- Beauti-
"a .Cloak- Model curves into singles and
doubles and triples. clustering six clouts
In a row and generously changing the
scoring gong five times before Currie
could be rushed to the rescue and extin-
guish the Brooklyn binGling %confiagra-
ton. And right then and there n 81.
Louis friend got the blue funk.
That NTH inning bombardment by the
F1atbish Fusileers changed the score
from 1t. Louis .. Brooklyn l. to Brook
Ign s. st. Louis 2. An error by Ivy
Olson paved the way for another Car
smoke OF battle drifted of the field with
the Superba3 triumphant b. 3 score OF
8 TO :.
1t was the strong right arm. the stout
heart ~ the puxzling splitter Of n
Larry Cheney that did most to accom-
plish the conquering Of the Cardinals.
After taking up the pitchers burden In
the second cantO the prominent citizen
Of Haines City. Fla. figuratively stood
the Cardinal swatters on their heads.
He famed nine men and did not issue
a solitary pass. Most Of the Ave hits
harvested on Cheney's delivery were Of
the scratch variety.
Wheat made a corking corral OF Bet
zels long liner to left at the start OF
the game. Gonzales popped to Daubert.
Johnny Miller then assaulted Jack
Coombs with a double to right and Tom.
my Long scored Dots with a ash to left.
Tommy stole second and galloped hon
when IIornsby hammered out a single
