run, a double and a single and scored
two runs to help beat his former
teammates, the Robins, 3 to 2. IN
Tuesdays opener at st. Louis. Col
Inns, batting at cleanup, got one OF
the seven hits the Cards managed
Of Dazzy Vance.
A veteran, frankie Frisch, was the
ultimate hero of the game, however.
It was his double in the eighth that
scored Watkins with the winning run.
The victory placed the champions

second place Giants and sever ahead
Of Brooklyn.

form in pitching the White Sox to a
8 to 1 victory over Washington.
