4 Modest Start.
The Robins started out noi,r,
They gathered one run in the .s,,.
inning, and right there the CsrdI-,
forecasted the sort Of game they 10,
10 play later. Long booted gowr,r
tit allowing the Aame-haired Ell,
10 reach second and then 20 ben.
along 70 third on Longs wild throw
lapse of two scoreless innings int,
vened, and then the farce was on
earnest.
Brooklyn collected a brace Of eovl
ters in the fifth inning without h
aid Of base hit. Lee Meadows yisli,
a bounteous supply OF bases on BAL.
and when he was not passing men. 1
support was booting grounder
throwing the ball az unsuspect!ng sys
tators in the grandstand.
The initial impetus supplied Il,
swept the Robins on and in the 81
frame they rose TO the zenith Of he
power. Five hits and a throw By Yea.
ows which was picturesque in itsut
ness, not to mention a wild pitt. y
the same Meadows, some wild bas r,
ming that was aided By equally VI
throwing by Mike Gonzales. cons,,
TO produce four runs.
( Meadows was relieved By one Va
mouth in the seventh frame. bu, ~,
was no relief for the fans. Not that Z
fans sought any relief. but SIX b.
drove home two runs in the seysr'
and Robbie began TO use his new pa
crs. In the eighth frame two bis,
( base on balls and a hit batsmsn a
some fantastic base stealing prodsa
the last two runs that the Ros'
scored. II was indeed a remarkable e
hibition of glorified FOUNDERS.
The affair WAS farcical only so isr
the Cardinals were concerned. "a
Vanguard, who pitched for Broohy
worked at his best pace, and Until =
ninth frame saw 10 il that only two
the Mound City men advanced IS I
as third base. Had he been so nlnd'
Rube might have scored a shut-oat q
as related previously, he passed Bon
in the ninth, and was not TO be q
noyed by the latter as he romped 70
ously around 70 third base. Ma
Wheat, who broke into the game :
lieving Chief Meyers, did not even OF
10 throw 10 bases.
Power in Attack.
There were power and cohesion
the attack of the Robins. and this s0s
rot be lost sight Of, even though
defence Of the Cardinals crumoled :.
fell apart. Any ball that was over =
plate was smashed 20 the corners

mouth twice. and collected two psre
