Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 16.-Fine and sus-
pension must have acted as a tonic on
Burleigh Grimes, the right handler of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. He held the Cardi-
nails to nine hits to-day and beat them.
to 2. He was wild. allowing five bases
on balls, but frightened up in pinches
and did some great hurting.
Grimes was reinstated this morning
by President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
Club after he had been fined 5000 and
indefinitely suspended for his indiffer-
ence In the game against Cincinnati at
Ebbets Field on August s.
Grimes paid strict attention to busi-
ness to-day and his efforts were ap-
plauded even by the $500 st. Louis fans,
who had read In the early extras that
his suspension had been lifted. Hornsby
got triple off him in the first inning
when Myers lost the ball in the sun, but
he struck out Hornsby on the next two
trips to the plate.
Zack Wheat was the big item in the
Dodger victory. He lifted home run
into the right field bleachers in the sixth
inning. when the Cardinals were leading
by to 1. The game was won In the
eighth on three hits and a base on balls.
Pfeffer Meets Waterloo.
Ed Pfeffer, who has been dominating
the Dodgers all season. met his Water
loo this afternoon. He held the Robins
to eight hits, but they were nicely
punched. One of the Cardinal runs off
Grimes was due to an error by Ray
Schmandt, but the three Brooklyn runs
off Pfeffer were all made honestly. The
Cards filled the bases In the seventh, but
Grimes held them scoreless.
Milton Stock was benched to-day by
Manager hickey of the Cardinals for
bad fielding at third base. Lavan
moved over from short TO third and
George Toporcer played short. They
made a sneppy infield and the Cardinals
went the nine innings without an error.
Hungling was charged with an error 70.

Cardinals in the first inning. but Jack
Smith worked Grimes for pass. Horns
