fensive work by the Reds infield to-day
enabled them to beat the Brooklyn
Dodgers, s to 8. although each team
made twelve hits. and one of the Brook

The Reds. at that, devoted three sin
giles, double and a sacrifice to the
scoring of one run in the eighth inning.
Harry Shriver. the right handed
rookie, started for the Dodgers and
allowed one hit in each of the first
three innings. The Dodgers were hit

runs In the fourth on pass, triple and
sacrifice fly.

to the rescue. but Clarence was hit hard
when hits meant runs.
