Cheney Mastcr Of Rcds.
Cheney was in a particularly victor
ious mood In the opening game, where
he was opposed TO Pete Schneider of the
Reds. His faNoritc spitbalI delivery was
working in such perfect accord with his
wishes nine Red hatsmen fell Oh strikes
and only seven safe shots we're collected.
With any kind Of support Cheney
would have scored a shutout. AS the lone
tally accorded TO Cincinnati was carried

form In the aftermath. pitching an article
OF baseball that would have brought him
under tho w!rc ahead OH nine occasions
ont of ten. But yesterday he was mixed
up In that tenth game and inning. Rubr
never worked harder for n verdict In all
his long and chcckcrcd career.
Given brilliant support. he evaded all
pitfalls with uncannI perception and vas
breeding 10 the laurels when he ran afoul
OF Chase. There are Il lot OF Dodgers
who have cut Chase off their calling list.

The hardest blow OF all. however. was
delivered by Elmer kne,zer. Elmer re-
c.ivcd 80 much of his early training
around Flatbush and was so royalty en-

have been "a little considerable instead OF
picking out l;bb,,s Field 10 display tho
only real cunning he has shown this sea-
son. Much was expected Of knetzer by
In. Reds. but until yesterday he lias been
what might he termed excess baggage.
However. he retrieved himself as far as

Ing his veteran rival aud winning on his

The Robins wasted little time convlnc-
ing Schneider IN tho first game. They
began IN the opening inning and kept up
the attack until the end. compiling a de-
cisivc number Of runs without a great
deal OF spent energy. lily Myers blew
on the lid right at the outset with a line
