The Brooklyns paraded around the
bases to the tune of eighteen hits
while the Cardinal outfelders ran
themselves weary in pursuit of the
lively pellet. The Dodgers had all sorts
OF hits in their repertory, but Zach
Wheat's tenth home run of the season
was the longest Of them ALL
While his mates were rapping q tat
too of base hits, Clarence Mitchell had
perfect control of his southpaw spit
ball, limiting the heavy-hitting Cardi-

Add to this that Brooklyn played err
rorless ball and we find plenty Of cheer
for Robbie. But the cup of happiness
was filled to overlooking when Presi-
dent Ebbets announced that Walter

prove useful on the next road trip.
The Cards had three righ-

the Dodgers found them all easy to hit
