Bottom Is Out of

You have to hand il to the Old

place there this year, for the Reds
and the Cardinals are. mathemati-

Cincinnati was behind when the
sun rose yesterday morning. but the
Reds rallied under Matty and took
two games from the Cardinals, haul
ing themselves out of the cellar by
their boOtstraps. Matty, with the
Giants, was in the cellar last year,
and he sworc that he would never
repose there again. The fact that
the Reds are not absolutely buried
