credited to Tommy Griffith. The final
score of the one sided game was Is

of the game. Hy Myers should not be
overlooked. Hy is having tough sea-

the Dodger wallops. Leon Cadore started
for Brooklyn. but In the sixth inning

was tied when the lefthanded spitballer
went to Caddy's rescue and he held the
visitors in check. The Cubs were dan
gerous in the middle of the game. but
in the last half of the contest the Dodg-
ers made hits almost at will. In the
seventh and eighth they gathered their
last ten runs and made as many hits.
