to left center. Outfielders Max
Marshall and Harry Craft raced for

homer and time had to be called

could continue.
This resulted in Starr being

home two tallies in the fifth and
the Cubs scored in the eighth on
two singles-one of the scratchy
sort.
At st. Louis Mort Cooper had
luck of different sort. He was
batted out of the box for the third
