times its form assumes the
strangest shapes.
The Brooklyn Dodgers and ST.
Louis Cardinals came to grips
yesterday in what was expected
to be a desperate doubleheader,
with the National League cham
pions striving to hold their sew
en-game lead and the Redbirds
making what might be their last
challenge.
The set-up was such that
1922 paying customers turned
out on a Tuesday to pack the
Dodgers Ebbets Field and thou
sands of others failed to get
seats.
NOTHING SETTLED
So what happened? The two
titans stumbled around for six
hours and split the bill, settling
nothing in particular.
Brooklyn won the first game,
7-6. Each team made three err
rors and all of the Dodgers runs
were unearned except a homer
by Johnny Rizzo in the eighth
inning that decided the outcome.
The Dodgers. drove Lefty Ernie
White to cover with five runs
in the first, but the Cardinals
kept chipping away till they tied
at six-all and chased Larry
French to the showers in the
sixth inning. Curt Davis re-
ceived credit for the victory, his
tenth.
The nightcap was interrupted
for half an hour by weather in
the third chapter while Kirby
Higbe was leading Max Lanier
10. Later the Cards scored
seven runs in the seventh inning
and won 81, getting Is hits to
Brooklyn's six.
There were other funny do
ings, too.
WIN DESPITE ERRORS
T he Washington Senators
made seven errors but stopped
the ST. Louis Browns "a. The
Brownies, who had won Is of
their previous ID games, were
held to six hits by Alex Carras-
quel, but had ii men left on
base. Tive of Washington runs,
enough to win, came in the sec
ond inning which started with
Jim Vernon striking out and
then reaching first when Catcher
Rick Terrell dropped the third
strike. Pitcher John Niggeling
was so upset he walked the next
three men in succession and
gave a single to George Case be-
fore he could be relieved.
The Boston Red Sox inflated
their second place margin to two
full games by beating the Cleve-
land Indians again 81 with all
their runs coming on Ulysses
Lupiens double with the bases
loaded in the second inning. Ted
Williams went hitless.
SUFFERS nth LOSS
At Chicago Lefty Ed Smith
absorbed his 18th shellacking as
the New York Yankees over
powered the White Sox 8-3 with
Joe DiMaggio, Charley Keller
and Joe Gordon hitting home
runs. DiMaggio also hit a triple
and two singles, good for three
runs, and Gordon's circuit clout
came with two aboard.
At New York the Giants
swept a doubleheader from the
Chicago Cubs 9-5 and 80. The
first seven Giants to come to bat
in the first inning of the first
game made hits, one of them a
homer by Willard Marshall with
two on, to give Carl Hubbell a
six-run start. After that it didn't
make much difference that Dom
Dallessandro hit two home runs
and Stan Hack one for the Cubs.
In the second game Hal Schu-
macher pitched three-hit shutout
ball to beat the four-hit hurting
of Johnny Schmitz and Tot
Pressnell.
WANDER MEER IN FORM
The Cincinnati Reds took both
ends of doubleheader from the
Phils, 81 and 81. Johnny Van
der Nicer allowed only two hits
in the opener, one of them no.
mer by Stan Benjamin on the
first pitch and the other a single
by Bobby Bragan with two out
in the ninth. Ray Starr hurled
five-hitter in the second game to
get his 18th victory. The Refs
were held to five hits also. but
one was Dick Vests first homer
of the year with one on.
AT Boston Johnny Sain. max
ing his first start for the Braves.
hurled three-hit shutout ball for
eight innings and then let the
Pittsburgh Pirates tie the score
at three, all in the ninth. TIE
Braves won 4-3 when Nanny
Fernandez hunted with the bases
loaded to squeeze across the de-
Gliding run.
