blooped a double, was sacrificed to third, and then with two outs in the
inning, Meyer was able to skip home on a wild pitch to break the tie. Larry

playing left field today, smacked a two-run homerun (3) in the bottom of the
first to give Cincinnati a quick lead, but Chicago first baseman Vic Saier
answered with a solo homerun (3) in the top of the second to cut that lead in
half. That was it for Chicago highlights, though, as the Reds pounded Mordecai
"Three Finger" Brown (0-1, 31.50) with five runs in the bottom of
the second, hastening Brown's departure. Clarence

Gallia were gone by now, and the A's finally broke through versus Jim Shaw
