The Pirates got their lone run
when frankie Cuisine, leadoff man,
slashed a triple in the first inning
and scored on a passed ball.
Today the Cardinals and Dodgers
were tied for first place in the won
and lost columns. But old man
percentage points gave the nod to
the Redbirds.
Certainly 1t wasn't the record of
Dodger pitching staff that kept the
fast-stepping Pirates from inflicting
further punishment to the slipping
Brooks. In fifteen games the Dodger
moundsmen had given up 143 hits,
81 bases on balls and 80 runs, more
than 80 of them earned. FitZsim-
mons Goth victory was all the more
remarkable in view of this.
Owen, Durocher Away
Ftzsimmons delivered to Dee
Moore, who was substituting for
first stringer, Mickey Owen, out of
the lineup because of business in
connection with his farm. Moore
experienced difficulty holding
hlluChlCDdll @llu ldoU-
breaking curves, for the fat fellow
was plenty hot in this second victory
of the season for him. In the fourth
Bobby Bragan had to go behind the
plate because one of Fitzsimmons'
KNOCKERS had injured Moore's hand.
Manager Leo Durocher was anoth-
er absentee. He was in st. Louis,
visiting his wife who is ill., Young
Boyd BARLEY was at short for
Brooklyn and Red Corriden directed
the team.
That the Dodgers have lost good
deal of their punch goes without
saying. In the fourth. sixth and
