feated their rivals by score OF TO l..
Eccentric Larry Cheney pitched the
first four innings for Brooklyn and held
the Sox runless. only to have the Ruoe
spill all the beans after he mounted the
mound. The Robins started out Ike
winners by scoring a run IN the tlrst
frame. Jake Daubert tripled and Zach
Wheat scored Jake with a single to
right field. Wheat's hit was especially
pleasing to the fans, for Zach is re-
garded rs a native son. although he
lives some fifty miles from Kansas
City.

sixth inning after the RUDE had re-
Iieved Cheney, Gamer doing all the
work himself by knocking a home run
into the left field bleachers. Two other
hts were made in this session off the
Rube, and it was apparent that the
southpaw was not in his best trim. In
the following inning Walsh, batting for
Jones. doubled He shot across the
plate on a squeeze play, worked per-
feotly by Jack Barry. who hunted down
the first base line. This should nave
teen a warning to Manager Robbie, put

Jack Coombs had been warming up IN
the right field corner of the field Tor a
half hour and was just aching TO get
into the fray.

frigerator in the eighth inning, wnen
