HAINES HANDCUFFS
BAFFLED DODGERS
Cardinal Star Keeps Brook
lyn From Second Place
With 6 to @ Shutout.
BY DANIEL.

1t developed painfully at Ebbets
Field yesterday that there had been
altogether too much ballyhoo about
the grand probability that the Dodgers
would rise from their downy couches
this morning in second place. Instead
of getting up with the expected laurels
the F'latbush >Fusileers arose with a
miscellaneous collection of terrible
headaches. The Pirates upheld their
and of the arrangement by dropping
another to the New Yor!Ss, but the
Cardinals reneged and insisted on
knocking the Brooklyns for n mo-
to 0-and the shutout was only the
third suffered by the Dodgers this sea-
son. The Cards put over one of the
others too, in St. Louis some time ago.
The Brooklyns could not move into
second place because one Jess Haines,
o big boy with fast ball, would not let
them. Haines had his speed ball zip
ping over with altogether too much on
IL. 1t wasn't one of those conservatively
clothed deliveries, but laid itself open to
the we'll founded aspersion tina. 1t was
ove.dressed-in fact. too gaudy. lIaines
held the natives to just half a dozen
hits. only one of which, by Zack Wheat.
was for an extra base.
Only in the fourth were the members
of the wilbert Robinson Chowder Club
the marching part of the name was
sli ,if.a fo1 da n
safeties together. and then ii did them
about as much good as a pair of ear
muffs. Tommy Griffith started that
half for the Dodgers with n hit to center
and then Wheat flied to Smith. Myers
rammed n single to left, Thomas stop
ping at the midway There was inordi-
nate hilarity among the 10000 or more
who were present over the prospect OF
taking the lead. for the Cards at that
iuncture had only one run. But Mitchell
flied to McHenry and Olson skied to
Smith. 1t was very distressing.
only Two Reach Second.
Haines gave only one pass, and the
Cards. for a wonder. stopped making
errors and afforded Jess brilliant. immac-
uiate support OF the eight Dodgers
yho were able to become chummy with
Fournier--one got to first on forceout
in addition to the seven already ac-
counted for-only two got as far as sec
ond base One of these went all the
way to third. That great distinction
went TO Wheat, who with two gone IN
the sixth doubled against the right field
wall. A wild pitch sent him to the hot
corner, and Myers's foul to Stock sent
him right along to his position out In
left field.
Tommy Griffith was the stellar per-
former for the Wilbert Robinson Chow
der Club. In four times at bat he got
couple of hits and would have landed a
third but for a bit of outright larceny
on the part of DR.. Lavan. The medico
somehow got over behind second base
in the sixth to make a Kaleidoscope
clutch of Tommys whistling liner.
Tom flashed in the field. too. In tho
seventh he gathered in Lavan's fly and
doubled Ansmith of first with spec
tacular throw. Slow thinking by the
catcher helped. Another fine heave by
Tommy got McHenry trying to score
from first on Fourner's double in the
sixth.
A good deal of the ballyhoo about the
chances of the Dodgers being graduated
into second place vas founded on the
companion supposition that Dutch
Ruether would left hand for the Chow
der Club Ruether did get into the
game as a futile pinch hitter. But he
slung nary ball toward the Cards. II
