DODGERS GIVE CARDS
FAREWELL WALLOP.
Win, 8 to z, in Their Final
Game of the Season at
st. Louis.
'pecial Dispatch to rHs NEW yosx HERALD

| Special Dispatch to rHs New YORK HERALD.
| ST.. LOUIS, Mo-. Aug. 17.--Nobody can
say that the Brooklyn Dodgers have not
won a Western series this year. When
they trimmed the Cardinals to-day by
5 to 7 they made 1t two straight in a
two game series. That finished their
combats in st. Louis this season, but
they will receive no medals even II they
did clean UP this series Of two. They
had won only one OF their nine games
in st. Louis prior to the present visit
and their total In st. Louis was three
won and eight lost.
Dazzy Vance was credited with win
ming to-days game and Bill Doak was
charged with losing, but Vance was
knocked out of the box in the eighth
inning and the winning run did not come
off Doak. The run that made the
Dodgers winners came off Bill Sherdel
in the ninth and was due to the fourth
OF the Cardinals errors all Of which
We're costly. sherdel pitched only one
round. That was the ninth.
He retired Olson on a fly to Jack
Smith and Johnston on grounder to
Toporcer. Bert Griffith hit long fly
to left center which Jack Smith dropped
after a tall sprint. and 1t went for
triple. Wheat drove to Johnny Lavan.
who has been playing third for two days
because OF Stocks falling off in field.
Johnny made a wild throw to first that
gave Wheat a life and scored Bert Grif-
fifth with the Dodgers eighth run.
OAk int tv,nr. H.. ~ L..
ming when the Dodgers scored two of
their three runs In that session on a
wild throw by Hornsby, who had a
double play in front of him that would
have retired the side with only one run
in. Bill retired after two more runs in
the fifth. with the score to / against
him. Pertica pitched two innings and a
run was scored off him on a wild throw
by Schultz. North pitched the eighth
and allowed an earned run The un-
earned run off Sherdel In the ninth was
the winner.
Mamaux relieved Vance in the eighth
and allowed a hit that drove in two
runs. In the ninth Mamaux was wild
and weak and was relieved by Sherrod
smith, off whom was made a sacrifice
fly that drove in the Cardinals last run.
Myers was again the fielding star for
the Dodgers. He had three outs and two
or them were star performances. His
shoe string catch Of Schultz's fly in the
seventh saved the game. Stock batted
Tor Pertica In the seventh and reached
first on Interference when Deberry acci-
dentally tipped Stocks bat.
The score:
