JEFF Pfeffer has pitched msnv r
Scellent game, but few, II any, equsl,,
his performance yesterday. He pi,s.,j
with the cunning Of a sorcerer ard >.
strength Of a giant. Until Hor-,l-',

Too Much Confidence.
The continuity Of outs was bro,

until the ninth that a visiting stllss

ond base. Long, as told before. sius,s
in the fourth, and following tia, -.
dent, Pfeffer hit Honsby with I,
pitched ball. Previous 10 the focrI
only nine hatters stepped 70 the plss
and from that inning on until the ri,t
JET plunged into the business Of tn.
ing back the visitors with the gres.r
enthusiasm and with great saetu,
That the ninth was not another a,
two, three affair was due to a biz +.
overconhdence and the luck Of =,
game.
In the last frame Higgins sent Jrs
Smith up TO hit for Lee Meadows, 3.
Ollie O'Mara hurried his Offering oy,,
to first in lots of time. Bescher sent,
hot grounder down 10 Cutshaw, bu, oYr
TO the right. The little second saessi
scooped the ball up in time, but 4.
throw was a bit slow and of 70 n
side Of first and Dsubert failed 70 n
II. Jake made a mad scramble for -
leather and touched the bag a frsctc
of second after Bescher arrived tier
Long flied to Hi Myers for the sec.
out. Miller was passed az this june,gs
and Hornsby hit 20 StengePs pss,.r
for a single, scoring Bescher. Cst
Wilson struck out for the second e.
secutive time and the game was oys'
Jake Is on the Job.
Sharing the glory Of the game vi,
Pfeffer and, indeed, quite the otfensiT
hero of the afternoon was Jake Ds.
bert, the leading batter OF the Naticri
League at present and likewise 2.
leading first baseman. JsFe beat q
Cardinals almost single handed. In q
eighth inning he poled terrific drr
TO the centre field fence for elss'
home run, and in the sixth frame /.
hit 20 the left centre field fence Z.
three bases, completing the cr;s
when Roy Corhan made a hectic re'uT
of Bob Bescher's relay.
Far from resting content With ?
wonderful exhibition Of pitching So
| Pfeifer had quite a merry time at 2
bat. In three times up he slsshed q.
two singles-one 20 left field, whia
coupled with Wilson's error, was go'
for three bases, and sent Chief Neyt7
scurrying home with the nrst run
the afternoon Pfeffer is on his way ,
join Jake Daubert at the top OF y
batting averages, for in the last seys
times at bat he has snagged four w
Gus Getz, who has replaced Nike ho'
rey az third base, got two more nlts y"
terday-one a lusty wallop 70 rgnt AZ
the other an infeld single, just oeyO''
the range Of Corhan.
Meadows Is Swatted.
Lee Meadows held down the no1,
for the Cardinals. lie was touched y
eight hits, and four OF these vs'
punched in the eighth inning. lnds'
the entire quartet came with Two h'
down. Daubert started after Pfefer a.
Myers had struck out, getting his noa
run. Casey Stengel, Buck Wheat q
Gus Getz followed with inheld olo'
Cutshaw. perhaps the most dangero'
man on the team In the plnches, car
up with the hassocks full, but core.
whipped up his sizzling groundef q
shot il TO Artie Butler, forcing Ge"
second. Il
Meadows was all right as long as Y
Robins confined their efforts 70 mas.
one-base hits, but what with pAaoe
chipping the concrete out OF the {
IRENE corners o, the fence, ne CO..
only bow his head and accept 'ne u
eyitable. ,un,;
Gus Getz supplied the fielding 'n pn
Of the game. In the eighth inh,nS -.
Ter went up to bat IN place OF D.
and he hit a high bouncing gro os II.
between short and third IL ioo1ea s -.
a nit. but Getz dashed over ana l'Ge
ing high In the air, brought lhe -
down With one hand and IN me se-
motion made a beautiful thro" 70 d. o.,
retiring the runner by step. ~
Wheat got Corhan's and snyde. ~
Tor hits nicely, and Casey siengei me- 80,
a couple Of neat catches. IN we "
enth Cutshaw made a me P'.s
