Robins Lose to
Cards on First
Inning Errors
MispIays by Olson and De
Besry Give 2 Unearned
Runs: High Hits Homer
By Joseph Val

One little error In the hrht inning
followed By a great biz one, caused
the downfall Of the Robins az Ebbet9
Field Yesterday. The little error was
A tumble by Ivy Olson, while the nam.
moth misplay was two-base wild
throw by Hank De Berry. and these
two combined helped tho Cardinals 20
three runs. a lead which even Andy
Highs ninth-inninr home run could
not overcome. Tho final score was
3 90 2.
This one little error and the one big
error ruined an otherwise fine game,
and we're especially disastrousto 20 Csddy
Cadore. Leon is this year fully en-
uflcd 20 be called the hard-luck pitcher
OF the Robins staff. he has pitched fine
ball on many an occasion this season,
only 20 have something 90 wrong in
the Brooklyn machinery. II 10 isn't
weak hitting. it b. an attack Of slip
perry fingers. as was the case yesterday.
Cadore allowed only eight hits, and
with just a BIT Of luck be would have
won. The luck. however, We nj on
Caddy's side.
Another good reason for the Robins
defeat was big Jess Hainos, who also
had the knack Of limiting the hits.
Haines pitched shut-out ball until the
ninth inning, and in al allowed ten
scattered hits and nary a base on balls.
An item that helped Jess materially
was the fact that he managed 90 dis
pose Of the first batsman In each in
ming. SO that when Brooklyn got a
runner on first Il was always with one
out This system worked until the
ninth inning, when Andy High hit over
the right-feld wall with one down and
schmandt on frat. Il looked az n
Brooklyn might tie the score, but with
a runner on base Lavan mado a fine
catch Of pinch-hitter Ruether's pop
ny, and the game was over.
Might Have Won Game
Highs home run might have won tho
game but for that unfortunate first in-
ming. Oson started the damage by
letting Flack's grounder trickle through
his lego. CadOrc was 90 upset that he
icsucd the only pass Of the game 20
Stock. Jack Smith then bunted, and IL
was a pretty hunt, n sure hit FOR ono
Of Smiths speed. De Berry was not
satisfied 90 let well enough alone, but
he foolshiy made a try for Smith and
hcavcd the ball into right field When
the bail was recovered Flack and stock
had crossed the plate and Smith was
on third. Cad0ro bravcly famed
Hornsby, but Mueller pushed a hit into
center, scoring Smith with the third
run. Fournicr foulcd out and Ain
smith doubled, putting Mueller on
third. Lavan then grounded out 10
High. Total runs three. Earned runs
one.
That was thc Cards only chance 90
score except in the eighth, when
Hornsby hit the exit gate IN center
FOR q mighty triple. The Robins, on the
other hand had many chances only 20
sec Haincs put some extra Juice on his
fast one. haines used "a world OF
speed in the ninth. but Brooklyn's
bats also moved faster and thus the
Robins scored their only two runs.
With Wheat out. Schmandt hit the
right field wall FOR single, and High
planted the ball into Bedford Avenue
for q home run. Ward grounded out.

De Berry and Ructhcr came up 90 bat
for Mnmaux. who had relieved Cadore

for the third cut after a nice run.

an effort 90 iinx the Cardinals, and
strangely enough they did the most
