The Chiefs drive was a cleanup WI.

handler OF the Robins passed Jse,
Hornsby, filling the bases with on. out

grounder, or turn a fast lick into.u,
killing double play. There vas only Or.
man down, and heroic measures had "a
be adopted. That double play ns.,
happened, bu, two base hit did.
Hornsby Called Out.
Smith, on third base. scored easily.
Jock Miller, who loafed from seeons
thinking that Wheat might catch N.
ball, was forced TO slide. and Horn,by
who clrcled the base at top soeed. thun.
dered into the plate a fifth OF second
behind Miller. That fraction Of see
ond was fatal, too, Cy Rig!er decided.
for he called Hornsby out on Wheat,
throw to the plate. Il seemed from
the stand as II the player had the ball
beaten by three feet. However. the TWO
runs which scored were sufficient 10
sway the balance.
they were barely sufficient. too. for
the Robins rallied gamely IN their half
of the final frame. and pushed run
over by some good, clean hitting An
error by Corhan placed the tieing run
on third base, but Roger Hornsby con.
verted a savage rap by Chief Meyers
into double play which crushed the
rally.
There was one man out In the fn.l
inning when Smith beat out a dinky IN.
field hit. On the hit-and-run play ne
advanced 10 third base when Miller hi
over Mowrey's head. That brought
Hornsby up to the bat, and Meyers tt-
cided 10 pass him rather than rss
trouble. This filled the bases, but i
thought that Wilson would not biz
the ball very far, nor would he hit i
hard Wilson upset all calculations.
Never faltering for q moment, N.
Robins came back in their half Buck
Wheat rolled one over second for a
single, and went to the keystone sack
on Mowrey's out. lie scored on two
Dagger by Cutshaw. and United Flat
bush lost its reason. Corhsn threw
OMara's grounder with great force bu,
poor direction, and George vent 70
third, with only one out.
Tieing Run Waits.
The tieing run was on the far turn,
the winning run on first. and Chief
Meyers at the bat. With terrific force
the big Mission warrior swung on =
curve ball, but he turned It 70 Hornsby,
whose throw 20 second got O'Msrs,
and the Chief was doubled at first.
So ended one OF the most thrilling
battles ever seen on the Flstbush past
ure. SO il was that Wheeler Dell los.
n game which might have been won. On
the other hand, the pitching OF Lee
Meadows and Red Ames was OF the
highest grade. and they deserved the
honor that fell TO them.
Dell was found for eleven hits. and
he kept them well scattered along the
lines until the final frame. Then the
storm broke, and he was swept OF ms
feet. For seven innings Dell held his
rivals far removed from the plate, and
in doing so he received no mean aid
from the sensational Mike Mowrey, the
guardian extraordinary Of third base.
Meadows worked against Dell for
seven innings. and was 1 down when
he retired to let Artie Butler hit in his
place in the eighth frame The ore
run Meadows allowed came in the ffth:
the result of some nifty hitting, Che,
Meyers putting Ollie 0'Mars on third
base with line single TO centre on the
nit and run play. Ames went along Just
as smoothly as mis- predecessor, and ne,
TOO. was maced for a run in the las
half of the iinal frame, as has already
been told.
Mo~rey a Sensation.
The more one sees of Mike Movrey
the more the wonder grows that ne
was allowed 20 drift along from pillar
10 post. The fame haired one was
certainly at his best yesterday, and the
way he handled the sizzling smasnes
that shot down the line was caution.
He rose 70 his greatest height IN the
fourth inning, when he turned smasnes
by Wilson and Bethel into force plays
after Hornsby had opened the frame
with a single. lie made grand plsy
on rap by Ames in the tenth frame
too.
Ollie O'Mara also was good. The
little Kerry Patch Kid played his neSa
off 20 win the game, and had COUPE
of fine plays 10 his credit.
Hi Myers, the centre helder, msoe
some nice catches, and Charley Stengel
backed up against the right held renee
TO gather in a drive by Wilson IN ne
seventh. Smith made line eaten o.
Daubert's slashing drive Ia the eieY'
enth. Wheat performed no heldins
feats, but be got three rouslng ni's io'
himself.
The Superbas were FIRST TO score. IN
the fifth Cutshaw singled, but WREN
OMara tried to hit into right field ne
forced Cutshaw at second base On tne,
hit and run play Chief Meyers singled
10 centre. sending O'Nlara 20 third, ana
Ollie scored on Dell's tap, which forced
Meyers The Cards tied in the eignisn.
Bescher walked with two out and stoie
