Mitchell's Winning Streak
of Four Games Broken:
DOak Also Fares Poorly

The Brooklyn Dodgers were guilty Of
their worst exhibition of the year in
losing TO the st. Louis Cardinals in
the first game of their series at Eb-
bets Field yesterday by score Of
lC to 5. The Cardinals ran rampant
on the bases. pilfering sacks at will,
snd being aided in this respect by five
miserable errors. A redeeming feature
OF the contest was the hard hitting by
both sides. st. Louis carried off tho
batting honors with sixteen hits, while
Brooklyn gathered ten.
With solid hitting being the rule,
there necessarily was need for pitch
ing reinforcements early. Clarence
Mitchell, the all-round Dodger star.
experienced an off day and was pounded
off the mound in less than three inn
ings.
burleigh Grimes still showed a lack
of effectiveness from his recent illness
and the Cardinals continued to pound
out hits after he went into the box.
btll Doak completely baffled the
Dodger batsmeh for five innings, in
which only Zach Wheat managed to
beat out an 7nfeld hit. However, Doak
vas numerically hammered in the sixth
and again in the seventh inning Then
Oscar Tuero, the Cuban, was sent to
his relief. Tuero and his windup easily
tanned the Dodgers in the last two inn
ings.
The Cardinals started their scoring
with three-run tally in the first and
closed it with an equal number of runs
in the ninth, when the Brooklyn play
ers tossed the ball recklessly around
the field. Pete Kilduff experienced a
bad day at third base and even tho
usually reliable Tom Griffith was guilty
OF an error. In the sixth and seventh
Brooklyn rallied and scored all of their
hve runs, but in each instance Jimmy
Johnston was unable to help the Gauss
along. He hit into double play in the
sixth and was an easy victim on an
lnfeld out in the seventh.

inning when j. Smith singled and MIL
