00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Your neighborhood tactical service station welcomes you to another baseball broadcast.
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Brought to you direct from Wrigley Field by permission of the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals
4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
to stimulate interest in our national game and in your local team.
5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
And now out to Wrigley Field and Hal Dutton who is going to give us some inside information on today's game
6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
right from the playing field. Take it away Hal Dutton.
7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Good afternoon from Wrigley Field, the home of the Cubs in Chicago.
8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Where the Cubs come home this afternoon to open a vital four game series with the St. Louis Cardinals
9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
and where we're on the field for a little pre-game broadcast looking over a crowd of 20,000 people,
10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
15 at least, probably 20,000 before the game is underway and a real welcome home crowd.
11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
The Cardinals are finishing their infield practice. The weather today is rather amazing.
12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
It started out this morning cloudy and finally rained a little.
13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Right now a nice strong northeast wind has cleared things up. It's pleasantly cool out here.
14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The sun is out and it's going to be quite an afternoon.
15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000
The Cubs come home from a trip that while it was nowhere near as successful as a pre-season road trip,
16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
were still quite a trip on the road and yes they lost several tough ball games,
17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
very tough ball games and some of the fans have wondered, oh you know questions have come to me time and again.
18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
What's wrong with the Cubs and this, that and the other thing?
19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Well my answer has always been that as far as I can tell, nothing's matter with the Cubs.
20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
We might not have been hitting for the moment or something like that.
21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So I've asked a young man, a very redheaded young man to come over here and chat with me this afternoon
22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
and tell you a little bit of the inside of something that perhaps doesn't ordinarily come to your mind.
23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Along this line, this man is Johnny Gordon, the coach of the Cubs who we've talked to before
24
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
and one of the coaches' chief jobs is not only to help develop young players,
25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
keep them going and correcting balls, keep the ball players head up and keep them going good.
26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And I just want to ask Johnny Gordon a few questions along the line of just how it is.
27
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
It's a pretty tough job when they're going and it gets a little bit tough like it is now with the picking and fielding greats
28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and hitting and going bad.
29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Is it a little bit tough for some of those youngsters?
30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Certainly it is tough Hal, but I can answer that question in this respect.
31
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
A baseball player's life is the same as any other individual in any line of business.
32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
No matter what profession, any outsider might follow outside of baseball, he leads with reversion.
33
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And I claim this, Hal, that in order to be successful, one should try and encourage an individual.
34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
When he's leading with reverse, in other words, a ball player that's going out here, for instance, any ball player,
35
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
for instance, comes out here and makes four base hits in one day and we win the ball game.
36
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Naturally he doesn't need any encouragement because he knows he's delivered.
37
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
That's a thicker game.
38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Otherwise, if he's spent the difficulties on the ball field,
39
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
he'll suck out a couple of times as men in running and scoring positions.
40
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
That's when I claim that color needs attention.
41
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
It needs a little encouragement.
42
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
None of it needs encouragement, Hal, when we are delivered and we know when we are delivered.
43
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Therefore, I would like to make a point of one thing.
44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
The ball players that represent and wear a club uniform need encouragement,
45
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:26,000
not only from the manager or the coaches, they need it likewise from the fans that attend these ball games out here.
46
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And one word of encouragement or a little applause,
47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
when a man enters that batter's box that he stuck out the time before,
48
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
it's more good than to cheer that boy, antagonize him.
49
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
He knows he's failed.
50
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Why not try and encourage that individual?
51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
He's wearing a club uniform representing your city.
52
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And I claim this, that a ball player on the road away from home does not expect any encouragement,
53
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
nor does the fans that cheer him or give him the raspberry use the clangy.
54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
That does not bother that ball player, Hal, but it really does at home.
55
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,000
It really discourages him when he fails to deliver to have the home crowd to ride him.
56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Then you mean that even here in the professional circles where fellows are paid for playing ball
57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:18,000
and thinking they're living at it, that a matter of encouragement and the crowd reaction is really a very vital thing in regard to their playing?
58
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Absolutely that, absolutely that.
59
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
On the road it does not bother them. They expect them. Sometimes they invite that.
60
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Sometimes they play a little better on the road when they're getting it in the next step.
61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
That's right, but at home really they like a little encouragement from the home fans,
62
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
especially when they're meeting with reversers.
63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Have our boys been a little bit down the last two weeks or so because of lack of hitting?
64
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
They think that they're going to start finding those good free throws?
65
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
They feel that way, absolutely.
66
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
I noticed that chatting with them before the game during practice just now.
67
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
They seem to feel that, well, they're home now and there's some change.
68
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
They've got to bring another change and they're just about ready.
69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Well, Johnny, I wanted to find out from you.
70
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I might let the fans know that the first time I heard those sentiments spoken was when you spoke them just now.
71
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I wasn't prepared to rehearse. I wanted to know just how you felt itself.
72
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
That's why I put the arm cold here. You didn't even know you were going on the air until you started out to hit the infield into your practices.
73
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
And it's a pleasure and you've done something interesting and well worthwhile.
74
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I want to thank you for it, John, and wish you and the Cubs all the luck in the world.
75
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Thanks a lot, Hal.
76
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Thank you, Johnny.
77
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Johnny Cardin, Logan Ford Red himself, the idol of the Elks Club at Logan Ford Indiana,
78
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
who is the coach of the Cubs and is giving us something well worthwhile.
79
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Now Pat Falk is here to give us our first lineup of the home day.
80
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
So let's have a pat.
81
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And that is for St. Louis, Batting Order, Moore Center,
82
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Brish Seconds, J. Martin Wright, Mettler's Luck, Mines First,
83
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
David Kutz, Erosia Short, Garibaldi Third, and Wimpert,
84
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
the pitcher, for Chicago, DeFatty, Davis, and Hartnett.
85
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Batting Order, the Land Center, Allen Left, Herman Second,
86
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Hartnett Kutz, Demery Wright, Mark Third, Jurgis George,
87
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Wimpert, and Davis, the pitcher.
88
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Thank you, Pat. Thank you very, very much.
89
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Now we really know the Cubs are home and we're on the way,
90
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
and we get that announcement from Pat Falk.
91
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the umpires are going to get out there pretty soon.
92
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
It's a little bit tense on the way up, but I think it would be a good idea
93
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
if I got an early start.
94
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000
With that in mind, George, how's my bodyguard getting along up there?
95
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
All right?
96
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
He looks pretty tough up there, but I guess that's all right.
97
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
He's got a day today, a mess day.
98
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
So if you'll do a little quickly to do the oil on the way up,
99
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I think he'll be swell, George.
100
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Okay?
101
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
There's one thing you'll notice about most motorists,
102
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
a really careful motorist isn't careful only of how he drives.
103
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
He's careful of everything about his car.
104
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Perhaps that is why so many experienced drivers prefer the new Tektical motor oil.
105
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
New Tektical motor oil meets their most exacting demand on every count.
106
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
It's heatproof, full-bodied, and tough.
107
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
It has the stamina to stand up under the terrific punishment
108
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
given motor oil in today's faster cars.
109
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
The tough, clinging film provides safe lubrication every mile of the hottest drive.
110
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
New Tektical motor oil comes to you in refinery-filled cans.
111
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
The purity of the Tektical's own solvent refining process makes possible
112
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
is protected from refinery to use.
113
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Every last bit of flan is removed from new Tektical motor oil.
114
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
It starts circulating and protecting your motor the instant you step on the stop.
115
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
So start treating your motor to the best today.
116
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Drive to your neighbor's Tektical servitation and tell the attendant to drain the crankcase
117
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
and refill with the new Tektical motor oil.
118
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And now while Hal's talking us on his way up to the booth
119
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
out there at Wrigley Field to bring you this afternoon's baseball game,
120
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
between the Scorgo Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals,
121
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
we'll give you the schedule of the other games we play in both leagues this afternoon.
122
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000
First in the American League, the Scorgo White Cubs are playing in St. Louis against the Browns this afternoon.
123
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
That game will start about 4 o'clock our time.
124
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
In Detroit, the Tigers take on the Cleveland Indians for another game this afternoon.
125
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000
In that game, the warm-up pitchers for the Indians, Browns, for the Tigers, Bridges.
126
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
In Boston, the Red Sox take on the league-leading New York Yankees.
127
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
The batter is nothing in tricky for the Yankees, for the Red Sox, Grove, and Rick Sells.
128
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
That game has already started in Boston, and at the end of the fourth inning,
129
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
the Yankees and the Red Sox are tied nothing to nothing.
130
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000
The Washington Senators, playing their home state, take on the Philadelphia Athletics this afternoon.
131
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
That game has not started, and there are no batteries yet.
132
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Now for the National Leagues, at Wrigley Field, the Scorgo Cubs take on the St. Louis Spartans.
133
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
In the four-game series, under the two points of batteries they've given you by Matt Piper and Hal Cotton,
134
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Winford and Davis, the batteries for the cards, the South Dugan-Davison-Hartman.
135
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
In New York, the Giants are taking on the Boston Bees.
136
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
That game, at the end of the first half of the third inning, is tied nothing to nothing.
137
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000
The captain and Lopez, the D-battery, the Giants starting the Simmons and the Mancunas.
138
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
In Philadelphia, the Phillies take on the Brooklyn Dodgers.
139
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
At the end of the second inning, the Dodgers and the Bells are tied 2-2.
140
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Johnson and Wilkins, the Philadelphia batteries.
141
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
The only other game scheduled today is in Cincinnati between the Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
142
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
That is a night game, will be played this evening.
143
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Now for a look at the standing of the clubs in both leagues.
144
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
First in the American League, the New York Yankees are in first position.
145
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,000
They've played an even hundred games. Today is the 101st game of their entire season.
146
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Of that number, they have won 66 and lost 34.
147
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Second place is held by the Cleveland Indians, the Chicago White Sox, 12 games behind.
148
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Fourth place, Detroit Tigers, 12 and a half games behind.
149
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Fifth, the Boston Red Sox, 13 and a half games behind.
150
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Sixth, Washington Senators, 16 and a half.
151
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Seven, St. Louis Browns, whom the White Sox played today in St. Louis, 31 games.
152
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
And in eighth place, the Philadelphia Athletics, 32 and a half games behind.
153
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000
In the National League, the Chicago Cubs are in first place by two decimal points.
154
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
They've won 59 and lost 38.
155
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,000
In second place, the San Francisco Cardinals, who are playing the Cubs with Stanton and Ricky Field,
156
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000
they have a percentage of a athletic lead at two decimal points behind the Chicago Cubs for first place.
157
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Sixth place held by the New York Giants, six and a half games behind the Cubs.
158
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Fourth place, the Pittsburgh Pirates, eight games.
159
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Fifth place, the Cincinnati Reds, 11 and a half.
160
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
The Boston Bees, 13 and a half.
161
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Seven, Philadelphia Phillies, 21.
162
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
And in eighth place, Brooklyn, 13 and one half games behind the National League leading Chicago Cubs.
163
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
And now for a look at the counting of the home run.
164
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
First place, New Gerrit of the Yankees, 33. 32nd, Connachy of the Indians, 31.
165
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Third, Fox of the Reds, Fox.
166
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Fourth, Melod of the Giants, 21.
167
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Now I see that Hal Cotton is ready.
168
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
And we'll go back to Ricky Field.
169
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
The baseball game brought to you by permission of the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals
170
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
to stimulate interest in our national games and in your local teams.
171
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Take it, Hal Cotton.
172
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The Black Radios gentlemen are the start of all games and the umpires are just a few minutes walking out on the field.
173
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
The two figures are finishing their warm-ups down here in front of the stands.
174
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000
The Cubs captain is trying to start the dugout and up toward the plate.
175
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
And we'll be on our way out here in just a moment or two.
176
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
The lineup, we've got some down there in the field.
177
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
I don't know where they'd be with, but some people like both of you tuned in right.
178
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
There comes Leo DeRosa walking up there with the Cardinal lineup.
179
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
He might give the lineup over again to these people who tuned in late and give them very quickly
180
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
so as not to run into any activity.
181
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
The Cubs are running out on the field for the start of the ball game.
182
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
The Cardinals, Terry Moritz, center.
183
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Thank you, first and second.
184
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Pepper Martin, right.
185
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Joe Medwick, left.
186
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Johnny Mai, first.
187
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Bud Davis, there.
188
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Virgil Davis, captain.
189
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Leo DeRosa, short.
190
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Art Garibaldi, third.
191
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
And Jim Winford, the fifth.
192
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
For the Cubs, Jordan's the land center.
193
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Ethan Allen, left.
194
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Billy Homme, second.
195
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Gabby Hartnett, captain.
196
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Jimmie Frank, Jimmie Wright.
197
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Stanley Hatchford.
198
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Billy Jogos, short.
199
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Charlie Grim, third.
200
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
The umpires, which you probably heard over the PA system,
201
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Camelia at the plate, short at first and permanent third.
202
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
And we're just about ready to go for the start of this ball game.
203
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:56,000
With Terry Moore right-handed hitter up there at the plate to start the first inning.
204
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Davis winds up toes and Moore takes a fast strike over the heart of the plate about way top.
205
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,000
One strike on Moore.
206
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
And Kurt winds up throws again.
207
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
The hitter hits one hard down to Charlie Grim.
208
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000
He troops it off the top of the ground and then runs over and steps on first base anyway.
209
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
But umpire, short, located there at first base,
210
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000
had raised his arm in the air indicating the ball was caught on the line for the first out of the first inning,
211
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
bringing Frankie Fritz to back.
212
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Frankie Fritz is around in his hitting.
213
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Ball down the middle, way tie.
214
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
One strike on manager Fritz.
215
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Davis again winds up throws trying to get the curveball wide for ball one.
216
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
So it's one ball and one strike on Fritz.
217
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
One and one to count.
218
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Davis throws once more for the second ball.
219
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
It's wide across the way.
220
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:06,000
So it's counted two balls and one strike on Frankie Fritz. Two and one.
221
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Davis throws again for ball three.
222
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
It's inside and low and so the count is three balls and one strike on Fritz.
223
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Three and one.
224
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Davis takes that easy wind up, pitches once more and ball four comes in pretty wide.
225
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
He gets first to base on ball.
226
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Puts him on first base with one out of the first inning and Pepper Martin.
227
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Good old Pep up there to play.
228
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
There's your boyfriend up there, Jim.
229
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Jim Snyder, that auto racing fella is up there in the booth with us.
230
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
We were down having a chat with Pepper Martin who's a big midget owner himself.
231
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Davis throws the first one to Martin and it's inside of the shot for ball one.
232
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,000
That's right handed of course.
233
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
And Gert waits there for the next time from Martin.
234
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
That swings around as he gets it.
235
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Takes a look at first base.
236
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Then throws and the hitter swings in a high bounder.
237
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Billy Herman's racing far to his left.
238
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Gets it, throws to second and the runner there is out for the second out.
239
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Billy went a long ways over to his left to get that high bounder
240
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
and threw to Jurgis at second base to force Fritz for the second out,
241
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
leaving Martin on first base with two outs in the first inning.
242
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
And Joe Medwick, the cardinal left fielder and a great hitter up there to play.
243
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Joe is also a right handed batsman.
244
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Among other things he hit a ball into right field late there against the wind
245
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
and batting right handed before the ball game today.
246
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Batting practice.
247
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Davis watches the man at first and pitches.
248
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
And Joe hits the ball in the right field but Devery is going back fast
249
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
and makes the catch for the third out.
250
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,000
And so it's no runs, no hits, one man left on base in the first half of the first inning
251
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
of this opening game of the big series with the Cardinals.
252
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And the score is nothing to nothing as the Cubs come to bat in the last half of the first inning
253
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
with a somewhat juggled lineup from that we've seen here.
254
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
World Bats starting to do a little taping of people out here.
255
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Well the out of town people are getting faced in the ballpark.
256
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
There are a lot of people from out of town here.
257
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000
We stopped downstairs by several of them from all over the middle west
258
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
who come in here to see this, including a lot of people who came up from St. Louis.
259
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
They just couldn't wait to see those Cardinals get home.
260
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
I hope they go out when they get home.
261
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
The Cards have had a good finish to their road trip.
262
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
The two clubs were just the opposite on the road.
263
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
The Cubs started off winning and then ended up on the short end
264
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:50,000
whereas the Cardinals started off losing and ended up winning pretty well on the road.
265
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Both of them came close to splitting even on the tip.
266
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
And here is Ogne Galanisat back to his old leadoff position.
267
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
He's a left-handed hitter against right-handed pitching
268
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
and that's the way he's batting against Jim Winford, a great big, rangy fellow.
269
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And he throws and he hit a bunch of ball down towards first base.
270
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
He goes over to get it and throws the ball to Mize who started it and then backs up to take the throw.
271
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000
And it's a perfect sacrifice by Allen by going from Winford to Mize
272
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
for the first out of the first inning, putting Galanisat on second base.
273
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
And bringing Billy Herman to that. Billy Herman in the Cubs,
274
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
second baseman, now the right-handed hitter.
275
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Bill takes a look around the umpire and then makes him the pitcher who threw some dirt out
276
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
and threw a pebble off the pitcher's mouth.
277
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Now he steps down the slab and gets ready.
278
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000
And pitchers on the hitters swing, get a throw, bowler down to third base line with his ball.
279
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Garibaldi grabs it, throws it over to DeRoz and it goes on around the infield.
280
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
But Mize returning it to the catcher and but throws it off the pitcher.
281
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Winford gets it, standing back in the grass back to mom.
282
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Walks slowly up, picks up the rod and backdrops it and takes his place on the slab once more.
283
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Getting his time to pitch the next one to Billy Herman.
284
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000
One strike on Bill. Ready once more, throws.
285
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
And Bill takes the ball to the inside and blows.
286
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
So the county is one and one. One ball and one strike on Herman.
287
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
These two teams are really battling it out for the league lead now.
288
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
If everyone wins, it's in first place tonight.
289
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
So Winford's ready once more, throws.
290
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
And the hitter swings it, it's low bounder into the infield.
291
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Winford comes in, takes it on the first half, throws the first.
292
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,000
And Herman is out easily for the second out of the first inning, moving the land to third base.
293
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
So it's two out of the first inning for the Cubs.
294
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
The land is on third base and Gabby Hartnett is at best.
295
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Gabby gets quite a good lead into the sand as he steps up there to the plate.
296
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,000
And pitch his rod once more.
297
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Wade to Hartnett. There he steps there. Winford takes quite a while getting his time.
298
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Finally he starts his wind up.
299
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Fishes and it's a strike over the inside corner above knee-high.
300
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,000
And Gabby comes back and points at that ball with a foot inside the plate.
301
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
He draws his bat along there inside the batter's box.
302
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
He's telling up by a finale that he thinks he gave him a bad decision on that.
303
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:07,000
They just stand there looking away and the foot Davis reaches down and dusts off his shoes where Gabby puts dust over it by straightening his bat there.
304
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Finally Gabby goes back. He's still talking a little bit long distance with Nellie.
305
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
In the meantime Davis has walked out to talk to pitcher.
306
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And finally Dave goes back to tell Gabby a few things.
307
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
And they stand there face to face with Gabby getting very, very red in the next department.
308
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
And while he tells Dave what he thought about that one.
309
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
One thing about Leo though, you notice that the umpires usually take what Gabby has to say.
310
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,000
They figure that if he thinks he has a spot he'll spot. He got over those days when he used to holler about everything.
311
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:49,000
And also he does it in such a way that while he puts on something of a show against the umpire at the same time what he says doesn't get him very met.
312
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Gabby stepped out of the box but he's back up there again with the count of one strike.
313
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Winter takes his usual long time to finally wind up the throw. Gabby swings it along.
314
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,000
It's into the land out in left center and Hendrick's waiting for it. He has it and it's free on.
315
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:16,000
High fly into the wind into left center. Without that strong wind from the north, northeast, that ball would have been way, way over that wall.
316
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,000
There it was. The wind held it back as it was now. They're holding all the balls back and batting practice from both clubs and blowing them all around.
317
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000
So it's no runs, no hits. One man left on base in the last half of the first inning.
318
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And the score remains nothing to nothing between the Cubs and Cardinals at the end of the first inning of the first game of this series.
319
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Stop and think of the hundreds of miles to drive your car every month.
320
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000
That faithful motor under the hood is doing its best to give you carefree driving.
321
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
You can really help things along by just a little thoughtfulness.
322
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Give that hardworking motor the benefit of complete modern motor lubrication.
323
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Drain and then refill with new Texaco motor oil.
324
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Then see and feel the difference in the performance of the motor in your car.
325
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,000
That goes to make it two-pin.
326
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Nothing in that big, powerful white job that throws it around.
327
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:27,000
First man to start in the second inning, Donnie Myers, Husky, left-handed hitter, steps back to take the first pitch inside across the way for ball one.
328
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
I think they're going to start keeping that ball high on Donnie. Maybe I'm wrong.
329
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Myers winds up throws again and he hits the ball into left field. Allen is racing over four but he can't reach it.
330
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Laps beyond him by the time he recovers it. Myers is tearing for second base and gets him there just ahead of the ball.
331
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Two-base hit to left field a place he doesn't ordinarily hit.
332
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Allen was letting him free well toward left center because he's ordinarily a full hitter.
333
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:57,000
But he had doubled through left center rather to left field, dead left field for the first hit of the game.
334
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Myers is on second base with nobody out in the second inning and Virgil Davis is at bat.
335
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Big foot Davis, the Husky right-handed hitting catcher and a dangerous one.
336
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Foot steps up there to the plate and Kurt Davis is getting ready to pitch the first one to him.
337
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Looks like a second base and throws and the hitter takes the curve ball inside for ball one.
338
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
One ball caught but he's ready again.
339
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Pitches and the hitter started to swing, stopped three quarters of the way through but it was a strike.
340
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Caught the outside inside corner up around the shoulder. He was around pretty far on it anyway.
341
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,000
So it's one and one. Davis steps off to press, furry the umpire on that position.
342
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Finally steps back up to the plate.
343
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Without further ado and the pitch is ready once more.
344
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Looks back at second base and pitches and the hitter swings and misses a high pass ball or strike two.
345
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And it's one ball and two strikes on Davis.
346
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Davis swings around and he's ready again.
347
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Suddenly wind starts to pick some dust up so Davis steps out of the batting spot.
348
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000
The way the wind was blowing the dust was that the plate just about to turn bald.
349
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:36,000
And that wouldn't help Davis' vision any so he steps out of there until the wind and dust settles.
350
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Davis throws again to Davis and slug follows the ball high onto the roof
351
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
and above him to the right of the plate and it's one and two.
352
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Still one ball and two strikes on Fudd Davis.
353
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Kurt has the time once more to keep an eye on the runner for pitches
354
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,000
and it's a curve ball wide for the second ball taking it two balls and two strikes on Fudd.
355
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Two and two to count.
356
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,000
One, two.
357
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Kurt ready again but just deep up to pitch again the hitter walks out of the box.
358
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Come back all the time and Davis has actually started his pitching motion
359
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000
and had to effectively fall off the mound and keep him throwing the ball.
360
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
It's two and two, two balls and two strikes.
361
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
And the hitter swings the ball at one back onto the screen or onto the net back of the screen
362
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,000
and back of the plate.
363
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:47,000
It's two and two, two balls and two strikes on Davis.
364
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,000
He's trying again, throws and verge, falls just one way back into the lower deck,
365
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:05,000
the right of the plate back under the second deck and it's still two and two.
366
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Two balls and two strikes.
367
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Davis stops to use that big sloppy rousin bag.
368
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
The hitter's not waiting back there.
369
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:22,000
The hitter's down the net, the hitter's up the plate once more.
370
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Davis pitches and the hitter swings in the bottom of the shortstop.
371
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Juggas pitches the runner back to second and throws the first.
372
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Getting Fudd Davis for the first out of the second inning and holding Mize on second base.
373
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
So it's one out of the second inning for the Cardinals.
374
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Mize still on second base and Leo DeRoscher is up there to play.
375
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Well, Leo's been promoted in a batting order.
376
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000
He's hitting seventh now instead of eighth.
377
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Right-handed hitter waits to get to the back of second base
378
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
and throws and the hitter takes a fast strike.
379
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Pretty one over the heart of the plate, way caught.
380
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Davis, big rangey right-handed throwing.
381
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000
That ball was very low, sidearm delivery.
382
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Kurt throws again and it's ball one inside and low.
383
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
So it's one ball and one strike on DeRoscher.
384
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:21,000
It's one and one.
385
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And the fidgeting set, still watching second base,
386
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
but throws and the hitter hits the ball in the left field for a good base hit.
387
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Allen comes in fast, grabs it, he's throwing the ball to the plate
388
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
and the runner turns around and goes back to third base.
389
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Boy, that was fast fielding.
390
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Allen came in, grabbed that ball and with the same motion whips it toward the plate
391
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
and the coach, Mike Gonzales, waves my back to third base
392
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000
because that's nowhere to hit it.
393
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Cardinals have runners on first and third, one out in the second inning.
394
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
And Garibaldi is at bat.
395
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Art Garibaldi is a rather small fellow, rather stockly-built,
396
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
although slim above the waist.
397
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
He hits the ball with a lot of power and Frankie Bridges is telling me before the game
398
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
he's been hitting the ball pretty hard lately.
399
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
He came up some weeks ago from the Cardinals new chain club
400
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,000
out there in the Pacific Coast, back to Mentos.
401
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000
He throws now and the hitter takes the curve ball wide for ball one.
402
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
One ball called.
403
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Charlie Root has started to warm up out of the left field bullpen for the Cubs.
404
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Chase Davis really experiences a bad inning
405
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,000
because until the Cubs get to hitting again where they can overcome the lead,
406
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
they've got to nurse the pitching along. They've been getting great pitching.
407
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
They've got to nurse it along very carefully.
408
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Davis throws fast to first base.
409
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
DeRosa is back there.
410
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Billy Herman is playing a little bit toward second base and in.
411
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Dirk is playing a pretty deep short stop.
412
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000
And the hitter swings the next one to hit a high fly going foul down back to first base
413
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
and is back into the base.
414
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:06,000
It's one and one.
415
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:14,000
One ball and one strike.
416
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,000
And a pitch away top there again.
417
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Davis slaps the ball into his glove a couple of times.
418
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Swings around on the slab.
419
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
And pitches and it's a foul. It hits the dirt back of the plate.
420
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Drops out of Gabby's glove to the count. It's two and one.
421
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Two balls and one strike.
422
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Davis takes quite a while getting his sign again.
423
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Finishing is ready.
424
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,000
And pitches. The other ball he swings and it's a high pass ball outside for strike two.
425
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
And it's two balls and two strikes.
426
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:12,000
On art. Going through the count.
427
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Turns and throws first again but once more the runner is back fast.
428
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Davis going in there holding that runner on V.
429
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Again the pitcher throws it first.
430
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000
But the runner is back ahead of the total.
431
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
And as he steps on the rub he finds Garibaldi out of the batter's box.
432
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,000
He's up there again.
433
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Davis ready.
434
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
He throws once more again the runner is on the goal.
435
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
The hitter swings and misses.
436
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
And they trap the runner between second and third.
437
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Billy Herman throws it hard in the plate and trying to get by. Trying to score. Trying to work that run home. Garibaldi struck out.
438
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
The roasters started for second.
439
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Harkness can all cut him off so he stopped and tried to get back and forth long enough to let the runner get home from third base.
440
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:12,000
But they walked carefully and Mize eventually was out at the plate on a throw from Harkness to Billy Herman.
441
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Two Harkness for the third out.
442
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,000
And it's no runs, two hits, one man left on base in the first half of second inning.
443
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
The score remaining nothing to nothing.
444
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Between the white cards.
445
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
I got the white cards still on the air George.
446
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
We've had them on the air for the last two weeks so I've got to get used to keep putting the cups back on the wireless here.
447
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Nothing to nothing between the cups and the cardinal.
448
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,000
And the cups come to bat on the last half of the second inning with Demery the first man up.
449
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Broadcast of the Cup Cardinal game comes to you direct from Wrigley Field.
450
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:54,000
The moment of cups at Chicago is a presentation of your neighborhood Texaco dealer, distributor of Texaco Fire Chief Gasoline.
451
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Broadcast comes with the permission of the Cubs and the Cardinals to stimulate interest in our national game and in your own local baseball team.
452
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,000
This is WCFL at Chicago.
453
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Frank Demery the right stealer is up there.
454
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Went for a throw the first one, Frank hits the ball to the shortstop.
455
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:18,000
He also comes up with a throw to the first and Demery is out easily for the first out in the second inning.
456
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000
One out of the second inning to the top and Fanny Hacks comes third baseman.
457
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Now in that sixth position batting is up at the plate.
458
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Winford has the sign winds up and throws the first one and Stan left handed hit and lets it go by.
459
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000
It's a strike over the heart of the plate about way top. One strike on Hacks.
460
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Throws again for the ball inside and low and it's one ball and one strike on Stanley.
461
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:12,000
One and one.
462
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Ending up throws again and there comes the second strike. Just barely caught the outside corner.
463
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Knee high breaking away from the hitter.
464
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:26,000
And naturally the catcher's glove is way low and wide when he caught it but that ball came over the outside corner above even with the knee.
465
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
And it's one ball and two strikes.
466
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Throws again and it's inside and low for ball two. Making it two balls and two strikes on Stanley Hacks.
467
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Going through his account and there comes strike three over the heart of the plate above the knees.
468
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Stan started his own to go to first and realized he'd let a good one go by.
469
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:01,000
I don't know. I've heard some batsmen say big leaguers when they get a lot of them in fact when they once got in the hitting slump.
470
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The only way they knew where to get out of it was to try to go after every ball that looked good.
471
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:13,000
And there was even it was just barely in reach until they started hitting them again.
472
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
The other hand other hitters will try to be more careful when they're in the slump.
473
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Jorgensen bat takes the first pitch inside across the cap for ball one. Right handed batsman.
474
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Wines up and gun crawls and the hitter hits a little hard smash and it turns off.
475
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Thank you for his knees and village three the first base.
476
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:41,000
The first hit of the game. A hard smash and one that's very very hard to handle.
477
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
One of those balls that land just in front of the hitter or the fielder at an angle.
478
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
He's going over to it and if he doesn't feel it just exactly right or guess where it's going to bounce.
479
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
That's right. Why don't it go for a base that that ball hit and didn't come up.
480
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Bounded low and hit Frank in the knees and bounded out in the center field.
481
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
So Jorgensen on first base to two outs.
482
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Charlie Grim is at bat.
483
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Went for a look at first base and goes over there but Jorgensen back pass.
484
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:17,000
You know the Cubs are going to play for that one run and the Jorgensen is liable to try to go down.
485
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:27,000
There he goes and the pitch is wide. Davis gets the ball throws it out there and the runner is out at second base on a very good throw from Davis to DeRosier.
486
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Jorgensen out stealing Davis to DeRosier for the third out making it no run.
487
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,000
One hit in the second inning for the Cubs.
488
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000
And at the end of the second inning the Cubs and Cardinals are tied and nothing's enough.
489
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Remember if you haven't done it already or if the scorebook, Texas Coast scorebook that you've obtained is just about filled.
490
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Pick up that request card in any Texas Coast service station.
491
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Fill it in. It's already addressed to me.
492
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
It just asks for your name and address on the reverse side.
493
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:07,000
The one-cent stamp on it to mail it in Chicago and or just mail it.
494
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Doesn't matter whether you're in Chicago or not, by cracking.
495
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,000
And you'll get this scorebook which has the official blanks for 17 full games.
496
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Pitches of Cubs, of Stocks, of Rosters.
497
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:26,000
But in addition our full scoring system with exclamations and illustrations, the one we've used here in the press box for some 15 years.
498
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:32,000
The first pitch now to Winford. The Cardinal pitcher was as bad as a fastball over the heart of the plate for strike one.
499
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
That's just above the knees.
500
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Davis winds up again, throws.
501
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
And there's ball one amidst the inside corner breaking toward the hitter.
502
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And it's one ball and one strike on Winford.
503
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000
One and one to count.
504
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Wines up again, throws.
505
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Winford swings in a high bounder.
506
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Jurgis gets it on the second half, throws the first and Jim is out for the first out in the third inning.
507
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
One out of the third inning for the Cardinal.
508
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
And Moore.
509
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Terry Moore, the center fielder is up there.
510
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Right handed backman.
511
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Starts to wind up now, throws.
512
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
And it's a high one inside for ball one.
513
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:26,000
One ball called on Terry Moore.
514
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Davis again winds up pitches.
515
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,000
And it's a wide one across the knees for ball two.
516
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Making it two and nothing, two balls and no strike.
517
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And Davis pitches and Moore hits a line drive and Billy Herman makes a leaping one handed catch that brings the crowd right out of their feet.
518
00:37:50,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Boy the fans just stood up in a body that time as Billy Herman raced into his right, leaped into the air, steered that ball with one hand and hung onto it for a pretty pretty play.
519
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
And the second out in the third inning.
520
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
It was a highway robbery but boy what a play it was.
521
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And it's two out in the third inning for the Cardinals with Frankie Crates.
522
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,000
There goes manager and second baseman up there taking the first pitch for a strike.
523
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Just above the knees over the heart of the plate.
524
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:38,000
There comes a wide one for ball one making one and one on Fritz.
525
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000
One ball and one strike on Fritz.
526
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Two out for the Cardinals in the third inning.
527
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
And the hitter hits the next one and drive out into left center.
528
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Galan's racing over fast and makes another pretty play.
529
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,000
A nice running catch in left center by that old ball hawk, Augie Galan out there.
530
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Two plays in a row that were beauties.
531
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,000
So it's no runs, no hits in the third inning.
532
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
And both Galan and especially Billy Herman are getting great hands.
533
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:12,000
Billy's just trotting into the bench now and the cop back in the dugout giving him a great hand for that play that he made.
534
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
No runs, no hits in the third inning.
535
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:21,000
And the score feel nothing to nothing as the Cubs come to bat on the last half of the third with Charlie Grimm,
536
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:37,000
top manager in first baseman, eighth first man at bat.
537
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Oh, look at the water boy.
538
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,000
The last of the rick is just going over to get a glass of water for old man Deuton.
539
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:59,000
He's coming here and seeing the water boy make that goal.
540
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Winford has finished a rather brief warmup.
541
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
And the ball is thrown out there to second.
542
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Finally gets around the third where it comes to pitch with an underhand saw.
543
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Winford walks slowly back onto the mound.
544
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Charlie Grimm steps up there to the plate.
545
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:18,000
He was at bat when Jurgis was caught stealing for the third out in the second inning.
546
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Winford pitches and Grimm takes a high fast ball outside for ball one.
547
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And the next first pitch, a high fly out into left center,
548
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:39,000
the center fielder then comes in to make the catch usually for the first out in the third inning.
549
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
That was the third inning for the Cubs.
550
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:54,000
And Kurt Davis is at bat.
551
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Kurt Davis, the pitcher, right handed hitter up there with one out in the third inning.
552
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And he flings hard for the first pitch to miss it.
553
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Landed right down on his knees and it's strike one.
554
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Winford throws again and Kurt started to swing, got three quarters of the way around and stopped.
555
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
But it's a strike and strike two.
556
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Two strikes on Davis.
557
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,000
The pitcher has the time, throws and Kurt swings, hits the ball hard down to the third base on Garibaldi,
558
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:44,000
scoops it up on a short hop, throws the first and it's two out in the third and the ball went right straight at Garibaldi.
559
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,000
And it's two out in the third inning for the Cubs.
560
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:59,000
We have the leadoff man, Augie Golan, up there to the plate once more.
561
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:06,000
And he's got the Davis top to say something to on-plat finale as he's walking back toward the bench
562
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:12,000
and takes his windbreaker jacket from specs to bat for it and put it on.
563
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,000
And the first pitch to Golan is a curveball wide for ball one.
564
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Augie walks to open the Cubs first inning.
565
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Got his fire third base.
566
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Swings the next high fly out to our first base.
567
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Mize is circling under it as the wind blows it and makes the catch just out back of first base.
568
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,000
There by about two feet for the third up.
569
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000
So it's no runs, no hits in the third inning for the Cubs and the score is still nothing to nothing
570
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:48,000
between the Cubs and the Cardinals at the end of the third inning.
571
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Now for up to a minute's score, complete batteries from other cities, we return to the studio.
572
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,000
In the American League, the Chicago White Sox game and St. Louis for the Browns have not yet started.
573
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
In Detroit, the Tigers are playing the Cleveland Indians at the end of the second inning.
574
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,000
They're tied nothing to nothing. Brown and Becker, the Indian batter, the Tigers using Bridges and Hayworth.
575
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,000
In Boston, the New York Yankees lead the Red Sox at the end of the seventh inning, two to one.
576
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Ruffing and Dickey, the Yankee batter, Grove and Rick Ferrell working for the Red Sox.
577
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,000
In Washington, the Philadelphia Athletics lead the Senators at the end of the first half of the first inning, one to nothing.
578
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Rhodes and Hayes, the Athletic batter, the Senators using Weaver and Millies to start with Sable catching in the first.
579
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,000
In the National League, in New York, the Giants lead the Boston Bees at the end of the sixth inning, two to nothing.
580
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Chaplin and Lopez working for the Bees, the Giants, Fitzsimmons, and Mancuso.
581
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:41,000
In Philadelphia, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Phillies are tied at the end of the fifth inning, two to two.
582
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Becker, Baker, and Phelps, the opening batter for the Dodgers, Clark pitching in the first.
583
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Johnson and Wilson starting for the Phillies with Bowman on the mound in the fourth.
584
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
And now back to Wrigley Field and Hal Todd. Take it, Hal.
585
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Back at the ballpark for the fourth inning, ladies and gentlemen.
586
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Trevor Martin, the first man at bat for St. Louis, hit a long fly out to deep right center where Frank Demery caught it for the first down.
587
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Now Medwick at bat, David Fitches, and Joe takes the fast strike over the heart of the plate.
588
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,000
How about Wade Todd? One strike on Medwick.
589
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Heard his winding up again. Fitches and Joe swing to high fly down the right field line.
590
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,000
Demery's turning cross, turning far low, and it's well back in the seat.
591
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000
When it lands down at the end of the right field stand, or strike two.
592
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:32,540
The
593
00:44:32,540 --> 00:44:44,540
strike on Medwick, running that ball out because it started fair but not only had a natural slice on it like that drive here at George, but also had the wind blowing it in that direction.
594
00:44:44,540 --> 00:44:49,540
Where was that my drive? No, Howard Davis eliminated that from mine.
595
00:44:49,540 --> 00:44:51,540
I don't know what you got.
596
00:44:51,540 --> 00:45:03,540
Oh, I see. Two strikes to count, but the throw is the next one, and it's ball one.
597
00:45:03,540 --> 00:45:10,540
It missed the inside corner a little below the weight, making it one ball and two strikes on Medwick.
598
00:45:10,540 --> 00:45:14,540
One and two.
599
00:45:14,540 --> 00:45:21,540
One and two.
600
00:45:21,540 --> 00:45:29,540
David throws again, and Medwick swings to high fly to right field. Demery is ranging over to his left easily and makes the catch for the second out.
601
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:33,540
So it's two out of the four pending for the card.
602
00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:40,540
And Johnny Mize, the powerful left handed hitting first base from the cardinal, steps up there to the plate.
603
00:45:40,540 --> 00:45:44,540
Mize at that.
604
00:45:44,540 --> 00:45:49,540
Lines up the throw, the first one, and John takes it inside across the chip for ball one.
605
00:45:49,540 --> 00:45:55,540
Unball called.
606
00:45:55,540 --> 00:46:01,540
David throws again, and Mize hits the ball out in the left center this time. Allen comes in fast to make the catch for the third out.
607
00:46:01,540 --> 00:46:05,540
And it's no run, no hits in the fourth inning for the cardinal.
608
00:46:05,540 --> 00:46:16,540
The score is still nothing to nothing between the Cubs and the cards. Cubs coming to bat in the last half of the fourth with the first man up, J.A. Allen.
609
00:46:16,540 --> 00:46:19,540
Well, we know we're home now, George. Here's the wire.
610
00:46:19,540 --> 00:46:23,540
There's 100 shoemakers strong for Cubs and Dexico and yourself.
611
00:46:23,540 --> 00:46:32,540
Just to me, the man's field shoemaker's club. That's a good old institution here in town.
612
00:46:32,540 --> 00:46:38,540
He's slowly out there into the infield. Airballed himself to pick up the ball that he used to warm up with and throw it in.
613
00:46:38,540 --> 00:46:42,540
He walks out there with sort of a shuffle.
614
00:46:42,540 --> 00:46:53,540
Finally starts his warm up with David.
615
00:46:53,540 --> 00:47:02,540
Ethan Allen stands out there to the left of the plate, waiting his turn to bat.
616
00:47:02,540 --> 00:47:10,540
Ball goes off to second base to stretch. He throws it to the roach or he to airball. He was dropped it, but he picked it up, tossed it to the pitcher.
617
00:47:10,540 --> 00:47:13,540
He used the rosin bag, looked around, and dried his fingers.
618
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:18,540
And then steps slowly up onto the slab, and Winford is getting his time from Davis.
619
00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:25,540
Pitch the first one, pitches for a ball wide, and it was breaking down, although it started pretty hot.
620
00:47:25,540 --> 00:47:30,540
Caught one ball on Allen.
621
00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:35,540
He winds up again, throws, and it's a fast strike over the heart of the plate, just below the weight.
622
00:47:35,540 --> 00:47:42,540
So it's one and one. One ball and one strike on Allen.
623
00:47:42,540 --> 00:47:51,540
Winford again adjusts the cap, gets his time, starts swinging wind up, pitches, and he swings and hits an easy ball right back at Winford who gets it.
624
00:47:51,540 --> 00:47:57,540
Throws the first, and it's one out of the fourth inning for the Cubs.
625
00:47:57,540 --> 00:48:06,540
With Billy Herman getting a nice hand as he comes up, fans remembering that play he made on Moore's smash in the third and
626
00:48:06,540 --> 00:48:15,540
for nothing and nothing with one out of the fourth inning for the Cubs, and Billy Herman at bat.
627
00:48:15,540 --> 00:48:18,540
Billy hits the first pitch out in the left field for a good clean base hit.
628
00:48:18,540 --> 00:48:22,540
Looping singles to the left by Herman.
629
00:48:22,540 --> 00:48:42,540
Winford gets it and throws it back in. And Billy's on first base, one out of the fourth inning, and Gaby Harknett is at bat. Harknett up there to plate.
630
00:48:42,540 --> 00:48:47,540
Winford gets the time, gets ready to pitch the first one to Leo.
631
00:48:47,540 --> 00:49:01,540
And he throws and he takes a strike over the heart of the plate just above the knee. One strike on Harknett.
632
00:49:01,540 --> 00:49:05,540
Throws again and Gaby swings in a high fly out the left field.
633
00:49:05,540 --> 00:49:09,540
Left fielder Medwick coming in, DeRosha going out, but Joe calls for the ball and makes the catch.
634
00:49:09,540 --> 00:49:16,540
Still on the dead run in Gordian Field and just inside the foul line.
635
00:49:16,540 --> 00:49:25,540
It's going to be a long way to make that catch, but he yells DeRosha away from it so Leo's tough going out and Joe came in to get it.
636
00:49:25,540 --> 00:49:27,540
So it's two out of the fourth inning for the Cubs.
637
00:49:27,540 --> 00:49:33,540
Herman's still on first base and Frank Demery is up there to plate.
638
00:49:33,540 --> 00:49:47,540
He gets that.
639
00:49:47,540 --> 00:49:50,540
He's ready to throw the first one, turns and throws the first.
640
00:49:50,540 --> 00:49:58,540
But the runner gets back fast, starts to talk, one player threw it out there about something.
641
00:49:58,540 --> 00:50:04,540
He's going to complete again. He throws and it's a strike of the inside corner across the check.
642
00:50:04,540 --> 00:50:10,540
And it's one strike on Demery.
643
00:50:10,540 --> 00:50:13,540
One strike to count, waiting out there again.
644
00:50:13,540 --> 00:50:25,540
As the sign is ready, he steps off the slab suddenly.
645
00:50:25,540 --> 00:50:33,540
Turns around, walks back on it again.
646
00:50:33,540 --> 00:50:37,540
And he's ready to pitch.
647
00:50:37,540 --> 00:50:42,540
Throws and with a run around the goal, the hitter takes one inside and Herman is out easily stealing.
648
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:52,540
He throws going from Davis to Freese who had the ball before the runner got there and then blocked him completely off the base so he didn't have a chance of getting in.
649
00:50:52,540 --> 00:50:58,540
And he no runs one hit in the fourth inning for the Cubs.
650
00:50:58,540 --> 00:51:09,540
So remaining nothing to nothing between the Cubs and the Cardinals at the end of the fourth inning.
651
00:51:09,540 --> 00:51:16,540
If you haven't tried Marpack lubrication on your car, you've never ridden in a really smooth running, quiet automobile.
652
00:51:16,540 --> 00:51:23,540
Marpack, you know, is the exclusive technical chassis lubricant which lasts quite as long as ordinary grease.
653
00:51:23,540 --> 00:51:26,540
It stays put and really lubricates.
654
00:51:26,540 --> 00:51:41,540
Drive to your technical service station, say Marpack, then find out for yourself what smooth riding is.
655
00:51:41,540 --> 00:51:46,540
Davis is finished, and Kurt Davis has finished his warm-up.
656
00:51:46,540 --> 00:51:53,540
And Virgil Davis who was still in the fence suddenly discovered he was wanted in the plate so he comes running up there.
657
00:51:53,540 --> 00:51:56,540
Carrying one back.
658
00:51:56,540 --> 00:52:01,540
Ready to face Kurt Davis, takes his plate there.
659
00:52:01,540 --> 00:52:05,540
Davis cannot get his time, starts to wind up.
660
00:52:05,540 --> 00:52:08,540
And throws and the hitter swings, hits the ball hard.
661
00:52:08,540 --> 00:52:14,540
Davis is out there and manages to leap into the air to tag the ball, but it goes on through on the right field for a base hit.
662
00:52:14,540 --> 00:52:17,540
Billy was playing very peculiarly that time.
663
00:52:17,540 --> 00:52:23,540
He was way back in the grass and actually over to his left, not over towards second but away from it.
664
00:52:23,540 --> 00:52:28,540
And he raced over farther into the grass, leap in the air and managed to tag that ball, but couldn't quite get it.
665
00:52:28,540 --> 00:52:30,540
So Davis is on first base.
666
00:52:30,540 --> 00:52:34,540
Nobody out in the fifth inning for the card.
667
00:52:34,540 --> 00:52:44,540
The Cardinal captain and shortstop is a bet.
668
00:52:44,540 --> 00:52:49,540
Davis takes a look at first base and gets ready to pitch first one to Leo.
669
00:52:49,540 --> 00:52:54,540
Throws and DeRosha takes a fast strike over the heart of the plate, waist-high.
670
00:52:54,540 --> 00:53:06,540
One strike on DeRosha.
671
00:53:06,540 --> 00:53:09,540
Throws again and it's a curveball wide and low.
672
00:53:09,540 --> 00:53:14,540
But ball one, the count is one ball and one strike on Leo.
673
00:53:14,540 --> 00:53:18,540
Suddenly comes off to the left of the plate to dig up the dry dirt.
674
00:53:18,540 --> 00:53:20,540
Wipes his hands and lifts dry.
675
00:53:20,540 --> 00:53:30,540
Back up to the plate again.
676
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:34,540
Davis swings around to get the side and he's ready to pitch.
677
00:53:34,540 --> 00:53:36,540
Pitch is and it's a wide one.
678
00:53:36,540 --> 00:53:39,540
They thought they saw a hit-and-run or a steal tie down there apparently.
679
00:53:39,540 --> 00:53:41,540
You have to be called for a pitch out.
680
00:53:41,540 --> 00:53:43,540
The runner dashes back to first base.
681
00:53:43,540 --> 00:53:45,540
The count is now two and one on DeRosha.
682
00:53:45,540 --> 00:53:54,540
Two balls and one strike.
683
00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:56,540
Ready.
684
00:53:56,540 --> 00:53:59,540
Throws again and the hitter swings in a high fly out into right center.
685
00:53:59,540 --> 00:54:01,540
Montgomery is waiting for it there.
686
00:54:01,540 --> 00:54:09,540
Comes in a little, hands it and it's one out of the fifth inning for the card.
687
00:54:09,540 --> 00:54:10,540
Davis still on first base.
688
00:54:10,540 --> 00:54:27,540
One out of the fifth and Garibaldi is up there at the plate.
689
00:54:27,540 --> 00:54:32,540
Davis throws the first one and takes the first strike over the inside corner about knee high.
690
00:54:32,540 --> 00:54:37,540
One strike on Garibaldi.
691
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:40,540
He's ready.
692
00:54:40,540 --> 00:54:44,540
Pitch is and the hitter takes the curve ball inside for a ball one.
693
00:54:44,540 --> 00:54:48,540
The count is one ball and one strike on Garibaldi.
694
00:54:48,540 --> 00:55:01,540
One and one.
695
00:55:01,540 --> 00:55:02,540
Throws again.
696
00:55:02,540 --> 00:55:05,540
The hitter swings in a fly down back to first base ball.
697
00:55:05,540 --> 00:55:12,540
Grimm is following it over there and makes the catch for the second out.
698
00:55:12,540 --> 00:55:15,540
So it's two out of the fifth inning for the Cardinals.
699
00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:19,540
Davis, Virgil Davis, the catcher is still on first base.
700
00:55:19,540 --> 00:55:25,540
And Winford, the Cardinal pitcher, comes walking up there towards the plate.
701
00:55:25,540 --> 00:55:43,540
Swings on the fly, gets ready to pitch the first one to Winford.
702
00:55:43,540 --> 00:55:45,540
Pitch is and the hitter takes the ball.
703
00:55:45,540 --> 00:55:55,540
And the hitter goes inside and blows for ball one.
704
00:55:55,540 --> 00:55:56,540
One ball goes.
705
00:55:56,540 --> 00:56:00,540
And it goes again for a strike over the heart of the plate, waist high.
706
00:56:00,540 --> 00:56:01,540
And it's one and one.
707
00:56:01,540 --> 00:56:12,540
One ball and one strike on Winford.
708
00:56:12,540 --> 00:56:15,540
Throws once more and Winford swings and misses for the second strike.
709
00:56:15,540 --> 00:56:16,540
Fast ball wide.
710
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:18,540
He's got one ball and two strikes on Giam.
711
00:56:18,540 --> 00:56:20,540
One and two.
712
00:56:20,540 --> 00:56:23,540
Davis is on first base, two out of the fifth inning.
713
00:56:23,540 --> 00:56:26,540
Kurt Davis, the pitcher, swings around ready again.
714
00:56:26,540 --> 00:56:30,540
Pitch is and Winford takes strike three right down the middle letter high.
715
00:56:30,540 --> 00:56:35,540
And he's called out on strike for the third out in the fifth inning, making it no run.
716
00:56:35,540 --> 00:56:36,540
One hit.
717
00:56:36,540 --> 00:56:41,540
One man left on base in the first half of the fifth.
718
00:56:41,540 --> 00:56:44,540
And the score remains nothing to nothing.
719
00:56:44,540 --> 00:56:45,540
We have the Cubs and the Cards.
720
00:56:45,540 --> 00:56:58,540
Cubs coming back in the last half of the fifth inning with Frank Jemery of right fielder again, the first man up.
721
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:04,540
I get quite a chuckle about something that happened out there on the field before the game.
722
00:57:04,540 --> 00:57:10,540
It seems that Pepper Martin and Johnny Mize used exactly the same bat except that the Corks had the factory.
723
00:57:10,540 --> 00:57:14,540
They have their own names put on them.
724
00:57:14,540 --> 00:57:26,540
And yet while Mize likes to use Martin's bat, that is Martin has the names of Cep's names on, Cep just won't use those with Mize's name on.
725
00:57:26,540 --> 00:57:28,540
Except as I said before, they're the same bat.
726
00:57:28,540 --> 00:57:34,540
So the day Medwick walked up with a brand new Johnny Mize bat, he peeked it out of the pile in front of the bench and handed it to Martin.
727
00:57:34,540 --> 00:57:37,540
And Mize discovered it just as Cep stepped up there to the plate.
728
00:57:37,540 --> 00:57:43,540
And he started ribbing him about, well you wouldn't use in the game and now you're going to break a brand new one in batting practice.
729
00:57:43,540 --> 00:57:45,540
And Pepper hit two or three good ones with him.
730
00:57:45,540 --> 00:57:47,540
But Mize kept ribbing him and he kept turning around ten.
731
00:57:47,540 --> 00:57:50,540
I'll make him so Matt, he'll make four or five hits today.
732
00:57:50,540 --> 00:57:52,540
That seems to be the way those fellows work.
733
00:57:52,540 --> 00:57:57,540
Just get base hits and win games no matter who gets the hits and who wins just towards the cardinals.
734
00:57:57,540 --> 00:58:03,540
First hit to Jemery is inside across the way for ball one.
735
00:58:03,540 --> 00:58:07,540
When Perthroes again, Frank hits a long high fly into the wind in the left field.
736
00:58:07,540 --> 00:58:09,540
Wind's holding it up and blowing it toward the foul line.
737
00:58:09,540 --> 00:58:12,540
And Medwick comes over fast, can't reach it.
738
00:58:12,540 --> 00:58:14,540
Lands back in the front row of Boxie.
739
00:58:14,540 --> 00:58:16,540
Way, way down beyond the couple's end.
740
00:58:16,540 --> 00:58:21,540
And it's one strike on Jemery.
741
00:58:21,540 --> 00:58:25,540
Frank was all the way around the second base when that ball finally landed.
742
00:58:25,540 --> 00:58:27,540
Because when it started it was very much fair.
743
00:58:27,540 --> 00:58:32,540
But it had a curve on it and envisioned the wind blowing in from the northeast.
744
00:58:32,540 --> 00:58:40,540
Was turning it toward that foul line.
745
00:58:40,540 --> 00:58:53,540
One and one to count, one ball and one strike.
746
00:58:53,540 --> 00:58:59,540
Now to pick a throw, the next one Frank hits it on the ground out to DeRosa who gets it easily over towards second base.
747
00:58:59,540 --> 00:59:02,540
And the first Mize has to make a one handed stab of the ball.
748
00:59:02,540 --> 00:59:09,540
He manages to hang on the first base with a throw spike and makes the play for the first out in the fifth inning.
749
00:59:09,540 --> 00:59:11,540
One out of the fifth inning to the Cubs.
750
00:59:11,540 --> 00:59:15,540
And Stanley Hacks up third base and steps up there to the plate.
751
00:59:15,540 --> 00:59:21,540
Hacks it back.
752
00:59:21,540 --> 00:59:24,540
Goes now, Stan swings in a long drive off the right center.
753
00:59:24,540 --> 00:59:29,540
Hacks in a racing back and makes the catch back there for the second out.
754
00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:33,540
Only up here this lane pretty well in today because of the headwind.
755
00:59:33,540 --> 00:59:36,540
And so, DeRosa had to really gallop back and to his left.
756
00:59:36,540 --> 00:59:40,540
But he's back there so he's turned around and waiting for the ball when it arrives.
757
00:59:40,540 --> 00:59:42,540
So a two out of the fifth inning to the Cubs.
758
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:46,540
And Bill Jergens, Cubs shortstop, is at bat.
759
00:59:46,540 --> 00:59:53,540
Jergens up there at the plate.
760
00:59:53,540 --> 00:59:58,540
Goes the first one and Bill takes the third ball wide for ball one.
761
00:59:58,540 --> 01:00:00,540
One ball called.
762
01:00:00,540 --> 01:00:01,540
Went for that sign again.
763
01:00:01,540 --> 01:00:03,540
Winding up.
764
01:00:03,540 --> 01:00:04,540
Rolls.
765
01:00:04,540 --> 01:00:06,540
Bill hits the ball hard out in the left center for the face hit.
766
01:00:06,540 --> 01:00:15,540
His second hit of the game and only the second hit, or third hit rather, off went for the other hit made by Billy Herman last inning.
767
01:00:15,540 --> 01:00:18,540
The ball was hit in the left center just out of the reach of Jergens.
768
01:00:18,540 --> 01:00:24,540
He puts Jergens on first base, a two out of the fifth inning and starting them at bat.
769
01:00:24,540 --> 01:00:34,540
Grim up there.
770
01:00:34,540 --> 01:00:37,540
Looks back at first base and throws.
771
01:00:37,540 --> 01:00:42,540
And Grim falls this ball back onto the net back of the plate for strike one.
772
01:00:42,540 --> 01:00:55,540
Strike years ago.
773
01:00:55,540 --> 01:01:07,540
One strike and he's ready once more.
774
01:01:07,540 --> 01:01:14,540
Jergens throws the first, knowing very well that Jergens had to steal last time after he had already thrown the first to try to hold him there.
775
01:01:14,540 --> 01:01:16,540
Jergens comes back.
776
01:01:16,540 --> 01:01:19,540
The wind for a station plate again.
777
01:01:19,540 --> 01:01:21,540
And then again throws the first.
778
01:01:21,540 --> 01:01:29,540
This time Jergens is back even more quickly.
779
01:01:29,540 --> 01:01:37,540
He's got a little bit of a lead now and Grim swings in a high fly in the left field.
780
01:01:37,540 --> 01:01:38,540
Left field are coming in, calling for the ball but the rocher goes back and calls for it also.
781
01:01:38,540 --> 01:01:42,540
So Medwick steps up to also Leo to make the catch and he goes back into short left field again.
782
01:01:42,540 --> 01:01:47,540
For the third out, making it no runs, one hit, one man left on base.
783
01:01:47,540 --> 01:01:53,540
In the last half of the fifth inning and at the end of the fifth inning the Cubs and Cardinals are tied.
784
01:01:53,540 --> 01:01:55,540
Nothing to nothing.
785
01:01:55,540 --> 01:01:58,540
Now again for just a moment, we return to the studio.
786
01:01:58,540 --> 01:02:03,540
You have not overlooked this opportunity of getting your own personal copy of the 1936 Texaco Baseball Scorebook.
787
01:02:03,540 --> 01:02:08,540
Hal Totten has made it possible for you too to be able to record every game play by play.
788
01:02:08,540 --> 01:02:09,540
It's great fun.
789
01:02:09,540 --> 01:02:14,540
Weeks after a game is played you can go back and read your own play record of the game.
790
01:02:14,540 --> 01:02:19,540
The scoring system is explained in detail and there are blank score pages for plenty of games.
791
01:02:19,540 --> 01:02:25,540
In addition, from day to day during these broadcasts, Hal Totten will amplify the instructions over the year as the plays develop.
792
01:02:25,540 --> 01:02:30,540
The 1936 Texaco Baseball Scorebook also contains a wealth of other interesting baseball data.
793
01:02:30,540 --> 01:02:35,540
Roster of both teams together with pictures, averages, ages, and nicknames of the players.
794
01:02:35,540 --> 01:02:40,540
All major league schedules are complete in the book and it's easy to get your copy.
795
01:02:40,540 --> 01:02:44,540
All you have to do is go to any Texaco service station and ask for a request card.
796
01:02:44,540 --> 01:02:48,540
Sign your name and address on the card, stamp it, and drop it in the mail.
797
01:02:48,540 --> 01:02:52,540
Remember the 1936 Texaco Baseball Scorebook is free.
798
01:02:52,540 --> 01:02:56,540
Just ask for a request card, write your name and address on it, and drop it in the mail.
799
01:02:56,540 --> 01:02:58,540
The cards are already addressed to Hal Totten.
800
01:02:58,540 --> 01:03:01,540
Make it a point. It's ended your request today.
801
01:03:01,540 --> 01:03:06,540
And now back to Wrigley Field for the continuation of the baseball game brought to you by permission of the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals
802
01:03:06,540 --> 01:03:10,540
to stimulate interest in our national game and in your local team.
803
01:03:10,540 --> 01:03:15,540
Back at the ball slot for the sixth inning, ladies and gentlemen, Jerry Moore,
804
01:03:15,540 --> 01:03:18,540
the Cardinals' center fielder and leadoff man, the first man up.
805
01:03:18,540 --> 01:03:24,540
He gets the first pitch for a false strike. The next one he fouled it back into the stand for strike two.
806
01:03:24,540 --> 01:03:27,540
And Davis winds up again. Throws.
807
01:03:27,540 --> 01:03:33,540
Jerry takes ball one. It's inside and low. It's one ball and two strikes.
808
01:03:33,540 --> 01:03:39,540
On Moore. One and two.
809
01:03:39,540 --> 01:03:42,540
Third throw's the gun and Moore swings it up off the line coming down foul.
810
01:03:42,540 --> 01:03:48,540
Back in the plate. Hardner's coming back under it and has it for the first out in the sixth inning.
811
01:03:48,540 --> 01:03:51,540
One out in the sixth inning for the Cardinals.
812
01:03:51,540 --> 01:04:06,540
And Frankie Fates, Cardinal manager in second baseman, steps up there to the plate.
813
01:04:06,540 --> 01:04:09,540
Adding left-handers like that against the right-handed pitching of Davis.
814
01:04:09,540 --> 01:04:13,540
Davis and the first pitch is a wide one across the way for ball one.
815
01:04:13,540 --> 01:04:21,540
One ball called.
816
01:04:21,540 --> 01:04:23,540
Ready again. Wines up.
817
01:04:23,540 --> 01:04:26,540
Throws and the hitters swing. Hit a ball hard in the center field.
818
01:04:26,540 --> 01:04:30,540
The land's racing across fast catch it. And it's two out in the sixth inning.
819
01:04:30,540 --> 01:04:35,540
The line drives the center. The land got a good jump on the ball and came over to make the catch look easy.
820
01:04:35,540 --> 01:04:39,540
The boy traveled a long way. And it's two out in the sixth inning for the Card.
821
01:04:39,540 --> 01:04:47,540
We have Pepper Martin, Cardinal right fielder, with old PEP up there.
822
01:04:47,540 --> 01:04:52,540
I think we can get him one of those misses tomorrow night out there. Riverview, Jim.
823
01:04:52,540 --> 01:04:56,540
He wants to. He'll be there, but he'll have to try to keep him out of it, I think.
824
01:04:56,540 --> 01:04:59,540
Martin swings the first pitch in a long one up the deep left center.
825
01:04:59,540 --> 01:05:03,540
The land's way back in front of the bleachers. Has it. And it's three out.
826
01:05:03,540 --> 01:05:06,540
Very well hit. But also was right into the wind.
827
01:05:06,540 --> 01:05:10,540
And the ball hit into the wind that way today isn't going to have much luck.
828
01:05:10,540 --> 01:05:15,540
That ball had a good chance of at least hitting the screen and not going in if there's been no wind there.
829
01:05:15,540 --> 01:05:20,540
It was mighty well hit. But it resulted in an easy up because of the way it started to sink.
830
01:05:20,540 --> 01:05:22,540
As soon as it got up there high enough for the wind to hit it.
831
01:05:22,540 --> 01:05:26,540
So it's no runs, no hits in the sixth inning for the Cardinals.
832
01:05:26,540 --> 01:05:29,540
And the score is still nothing to nothing.
833
01:05:29,540 --> 01:05:33,540
As the Cubs come to bat on the last half of the sixth with Kurt Davis, the pitcher, the first man up.
834
01:05:33,540 --> 01:05:38,540
Each team has made just three hits so far.
835
01:05:38,540 --> 01:05:43,540
This broadcast of the Cubs Cardinals game comes to you direct from Wigley Field.
836
01:05:43,540 --> 01:05:48,540
Over the Cubs to Chicago as a presentation of your neighborhood technical dealer,
837
01:05:48,540 --> 01:05:51,540
the visitor of technical fire chief, gasoline.
838
01:05:51,540 --> 01:05:54,540
Broadcast comes with the permission of the Cubs and the Cardinals,
839
01:05:54,540 --> 01:05:59,540
the similar interests in our national games and in your own local baseball team.
840
01:05:59,540 --> 01:06:03,540
WCF Alex DeCot.
841
01:06:03,540 --> 01:06:06,540
Winford's out there finishing his warm up.
842
01:06:06,540 --> 01:06:12,540
As Davis came from the bench up the plate and you heard the nice hand that he got.
843
01:06:12,540 --> 01:06:15,540
There goes the ball out to play in base again.
844
01:06:15,540 --> 01:06:21,540
Cardinals have won those two teams with Chris getting the ball and throwing it back into the road to his swivels around,
845
01:06:21,540 --> 01:06:28,540
throws it to Garibaldi and he runs in on the grass and he's a toss it or lobs it through the pitcher that runs back to his position.
846
01:06:28,540 --> 01:06:34,540
Now Winford out there starts to wind up throws and Davis swings in a high fly in the right center.
847
01:06:34,540 --> 01:06:36,540
Right fielder's in there waiting for it.
848
01:06:36,540 --> 01:06:40,540
Has it. Martin was right alongside him in there calling for him to make the catch.
849
01:06:40,540 --> 01:06:47,540
And it's 1-0 in the sixth inning for the Cubs with Augie Galan up there at the plate.
850
01:06:47,540 --> 01:06:53,540
Galan at bat. Winford starts to wind up.
851
01:06:53,540 --> 01:06:57,540
Throws. Augie swings in a beauty out to right field throwing on down the line.
852
01:06:57,540 --> 01:07:00,540
All is fielded fast by Martin. Galan makes the turn.
853
01:07:00,540 --> 01:07:05,540
Martin's quick throw and a good one into second base would have had him throw his turns and go back to first.
854
01:07:05,540 --> 01:07:14,540
A good single to right field but very well fielded by Martin and well thrown into second base to hold Galan at first.
855
01:07:14,540 --> 01:07:20,540
Augie's on first base with one out of the sixth inning for the Cubs and Ethan Allen becomes left fielder.
856
01:07:20,540 --> 01:07:30,540
Here's a bet.
857
01:07:30,540 --> 01:07:34,540
Galan takes his place there. Winford pitches and he takes the ball.
858
01:07:34,540 --> 01:07:38,540
Just missed that inside corner and I believe it's also a little bit low.
859
01:07:38,540 --> 01:07:44,540
It's one ball called.
860
01:07:44,540 --> 01:07:48,540
Fish playing in a little for this man but Baroche is playing pretty deep.
861
01:07:48,540 --> 01:07:52,540
Fish and Billy Herman move around very much alike out there in the field.
862
01:07:52,540 --> 01:07:58,540
Now with a runner on the goal Allen swings but fouls the ball on the ground to the left of the plate and it's 1-1.
863
01:07:58,540 --> 01:08:07,540
He's being the wake. Well he thought that Galan hadn't had a good start and might be caught and then to protect the runner he punched at that bad ball and fouled it.
864
01:08:07,540 --> 01:08:11,540
Make it 1-1. One ball and one strike on Allen.
865
01:08:11,540 --> 01:08:15,540
Galan on first base. One out of the sixth inning for the Cubs.
866
01:08:15,540 --> 01:08:21,540
Throw nothing to nothing between the Cubs and the Cubs.
867
01:08:21,540 --> 01:08:29,540
Turns and throws to first base and runs back there easily.
868
01:08:29,540 --> 01:08:37,540
Ready again. Pitchers and Allen swings in a high fly in the right center. All the curving back toward Martin who is waiting for it. Makes the catch.
869
01:08:37,540 --> 01:08:49,540
Going to stagger around there for a minute. Step back, step forward, step back and then leap forward and makes the catch and it's 2-0.
870
01:08:49,540 --> 01:09:02,540
That brings Billy Herman up there. Galan on first base. Two out of the sixth inning. Herman at bat.
871
01:09:02,540 --> 01:09:08,540
Brings on, gets ready. Back to the runner then pitches. Billy hits the ball hard into left field for another base hit.
872
01:09:08,540 --> 01:09:12,540
His second hit of the afternoon. Moves Galan to second base. The ball is feeling bad.
873
01:09:12,540 --> 01:09:19,540
By medley who lost no time. Failing it into third base to hold Galan at second.
874
01:09:19,540 --> 01:09:36,540
And the Cubs head runner is on first and second. Two out of the sixth inning. And Gabby Hartnett at bat. Hartnett upstairs to play.
875
01:09:36,540 --> 01:09:43,540
Gabby waits while Davidson wins for another little conference with manager Fritz. They're all back to their positions now.
876
01:09:43,540 --> 01:09:49,540
As Gabby steps up there, infield and outfield all move way around toward left field. And the infield is playing very deep.
877
01:09:49,540 --> 01:09:55,540
Gabby hits that ball hard and they're playing way back where they can get a good jump on it because Gabby isn't especially fast.
878
01:09:55,540 --> 01:10:08,540
And Gabby hits the first base. Third base run is played and a play. Billy Herman stops at second as the ball comes in to third base from Nedwick.
879
01:10:08,540 --> 01:10:18,540
Tendles the left field by Hartnett. Throwing Galan. And leading Cubs on is still on first and second with two out and one run home.
880
01:10:18,540 --> 01:10:23,540
That's the first run of the game and the Cubs are now leading the Cardinals.
881
01:10:23,540 --> 01:10:34,540
That's one of one to nothing and Frank Demery is the best.
882
01:10:34,540 --> 01:10:39,540
Demery up there to play.
883
01:10:39,540 --> 01:10:57,540
Demery getting his time to play the first one for him. Takes quite a while getting it. So Demery gets tired, steps out of the batting spot, jumps his hand, steps back up to the plate.
884
01:10:57,540 --> 01:11:10,540
Cardinals start getting their warming up in the right field both hands. And now the slow ball hitter hits the ground ball to Gerocha who throws the plate to second and Hartnett is out for the third out.
885
01:11:10,540 --> 01:11:18,540
Forced out for the third out. Tried to change the pace on Frank and he went right after it. Stopped waiting and beat it into the dirt for an easy play.
886
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:29,540
So it's one run, three hits, two men left on base. The last half of the sixth inning and at the end of the sixth inning the Cubs are leading the Cardinals one to nothing.
887
01:11:29,540 --> 01:11:35,540
Now again for complete up to the minute scores and complete battering from other cities we return to studio.
888
01:11:35,540 --> 01:11:40,540
In the American League in St. Louis the Chicago White Sox lead the Browns at the end of the first half of the first inning one to nothing.
889
01:11:40,540 --> 01:11:45,540
Lyons and Sewell the battery for the White Sox. The Browns using Thomas and Giuliani.
890
01:11:45,540 --> 01:11:51,540
In Detroit the Tigers lead the Cleveland Indians at the end of the first half of the fifth inning one to nothing. Brown and Becker the Indian battery.
891
01:11:51,540 --> 01:11:57,540
The Tigers using Bridges and Hayworth. In Boston the New York Yankees defeated the Red Sox by a score of four to two.
892
01:11:57,540 --> 01:12:02,540
Ruffing and Dickey working for the Yanks. Grove and Rick Ferrell starting for the Red Sox with Wilson on the mound in the ninth.
893
01:12:02,540 --> 01:12:07,540
In Washington the Philadelphia Athletic lead the Senators at the end of the first half of the third inning five to two.
894
01:12:07,540 --> 01:12:11,540
Rhodes and Hayes the athletic battery. Weaver and Milley starting for the Senators.
895
01:12:11,540 --> 01:12:18,540
The table catching in the first and Cascarella on the mound in the third. In the National League in New York the Giants defeated the Boston Bees by a score of four to one.
896
01:12:18,540 --> 01:12:23,540
Chaplin and Lopez the B battery. The entire route fits Simmons and Mancuso going the entire distance for the Giants.
897
01:12:23,540 --> 01:12:28,540
In Philadelphia the Brooklyn Dodgers lead the Phillies at the end of the first half of the seventh inning four to three.
898
01:12:28,540 --> 01:12:32,540
Staker and Souths opening for the Dodgers. Clark in the first and Jeff Gold on the mound in the seventh.
899
01:12:32,540 --> 01:12:38,540
Johnson and Wilson the opening Philly battery. Warman pitching in the fourth and Jorgens hurling in the seventh.
900
01:12:38,540 --> 01:12:41,540
And now back to Wrigley Field and Hal Cotton. Take it Hal.
901
01:12:41,540 --> 01:12:48,540
Joe Medwick first man at bat in the seventh inning for the Cardinals got a hold of the first ball pitch and hit a terrific smash to left field.
902
01:12:48,540 --> 01:12:54,540
And the only thing that kept it from being a home run was a very strong headwind that held it down.
903
01:12:54,540 --> 01:12:59,540
It hit the wall about two feet from the top, bonded back in and resulted in a two base hit.
904
01:12:59,540 --> 01:13:06,540
So Medwick is on second base with nobody out of the seventh inning and the danger Mr. Mize is at bat.
905
01:13:06,540 --> 01:13:10,540
Charlie Rood again starts to warm up in the couple of pins.
906
01:13:10,540 --> 01:13:15,540
Davis looks back at second base pitches and Mize takes a high one wide for ball one.
907
01:13:15,540 --> 01:13:18,540
One ball called.
908
01:13:18,540 --> 01:13:21,540
I think the boys have a feeling that Mize is bad on the high pitches.
909
01:13:21,540 --> 01:13:26,540
But in one spot the Davis has a little trouble pitching. He needs to keep the ball low.
910
01:13:26,540 --> 01:13:30,540
Next one is wide for ball two making it two and nothing on Mize.
911
01:13:30,540 --> 01:13:33,540
Two balls and no strikes.
912
01:13:33,540 --> 01:13:37,540
Mize went right. I'm telling him he can't quite get it.
913
01:13:37,540 --> 01:13:39,540
And he once threw for a base hit.
914
01:13:39,540 --> 01:13:41,540
He heard him playing pretty well around four seconds.
915
01:13:41,540 --> 01:13:43,540
He made a great drive for it but couldn't get it.
916
01:13:43,540 --> 01:13:45,540
And it ties the score.
917
01:13:45,540 --> 01:13:47,540
One and one.
918
01:13:47,540 --> 01:13:50,540
The old gas house gags pretty tough.
919
01:13:50,540 --> 01:13:52,540
And you get him behind.
920
01:13:52,540 --> 01:13:55,540
Now Davis at bat. Mize on first base.
921
01:13:55,540 --> 01:13:57,540
Nobody out. One run home in the seventh inning.
922
01:13:57,540 --> 01:14:00,540
Score a tie one and one.
923
01:14:00,540 --> 01:14:03,540
Davis pitches and he hit a far tie.
924
01:14:03,540 --> 01:14:05,540
It's a bunt and follows the ball to the left of the plate.
925
01:14:05,540 --> 01:14:08,540
Little flat flyer. Too low for anybody to get.
926
01:14:08,540 --> 01:14:10,540
And it's one strike on Mize.
927
01:14:10,540 --> 01:14:12,540
One strike to count.
928
01:14:12,540 --> 01:14:26,540
Davis ready again.
929
01:14:26,540 --> 01:14:27,540
They're still expecting the bunt.
930
01:14:27,540 --> 01:14:31,540
But Spud instead was all set to swing and then let the ball go by.
931
01:14:31,540 --> 01:14:34,540
In fact he had to jump back to let it come by inside or ball one.
932
01:14:34,540 --> 01:14:43,540
The count is one ball and one strike on Spud Davis.
933
01:14:43,540 --> 01:14:44,540
One and one to count.
934
01:14:44,540 --> 01:14:49,540
Spud was all set again to swing but let the pitch go by wide for ball two.
935
01:14:49,540 --> 01:14:52,540
And it runs the count to two balls and one strike on Davis.
936
01:14:52,540 --> 01:15:01,540
Two and one.
937
01:15:01,540 --> 01:15:04,540
Kurt has the sign again.
938
01:15:04,540 --> 01:15:05,540
Pitches.
939
01:15:05,540 --> 01:15:07,540
Bud jumps back to take the third ball.
940
01:15:07,540 --> 01:15:09,540
It's inside across the wave.
941
01:15:09,540 --> 01:15:11,540
And Kurt really seemed to be having trouble.
942
01:15:11,540 --> 01:15:14,540
Boy if you want to see action you just take a look at that St. Louis bench.
943
01:15:14,540 --> 01:15:16,540
Boys down there clapping their hands.
944
01:15:16,540 --> 01:15:18,540
Dizzy Dean's walking back and forth.
945
01:15:18,540 --> 01:15:19,540
Throwing his arms around.
946
01:15:19,540 --> 01:15:23,540
They're stamping their feet hitting the floor of the dugout with that.
947
01:15:23,540 --> 01:15:25,540
Boy how they're going.
948
01:15:25,540 --> 01:15:30,540
Kurt throws again and the header follows this one and bounce off the catcher's mask and clear into the stand at the right of the plate.
949
01:15:30,540 --> 01:15:33,540
For the second strike to run it to three and two.
950
01:15:33,540 --> 01:15:39,540
Three balls and two strikes.
951
01:15:39,540 --> 01:15:43,540
Oh that ball's not only got a lot of color but a lot of fight and they want to win.
952
01:15:43,540 --> 01:15:44,540
Look at that Diz.
953
01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:47,540
Regular cheerleader right up there in front of the dugout.
954
01:15:47,540 --> 01:15:50,540
Gellin's brother hit that ball.
955
01:15:50,540 --> 01:15:53,540
The fellow he's supposed to be on the up with more or less.
956
01:15:53,540 --> 01:15:56,540
Grand to the count.
957
01:15:56,540 --> 01:15:58,540
Hit the turn and throws the first base.
958
01:15:58,540 --> 01:16:06,540
The runner gets back ahead of the throw.
959
01:16:06,540 --> 01:16:10,540
Now Davis again throws the first and the runner slides back this time.
960
01:16:10,540 --> 01:16:11,540
Has Grimm grabs the ball.
961
01:16:11,540 --> 01:16:14,540
Puts it on him but there's no play so.
962
01:16:14,540 --> 01:16:21,540
The ball sends it back to pitcher.
963
01:16:21,540 --> 01:16:22,540
Davis pitches the runners on the go.
964
01:16:22,540 --> 01:16:25,540
The hitter follows the ball back onto the net back of the plate.
965
01:16:25,540 --> 01:16:28,540
And it's still three balls and two strikes on this.
966
01:16:28,540 --> 01:16:37,540
Still three and two.
967
01:16:37,540 --> 01:16:45,540
Davis isn't overly fast but he's not slow and he's a great big fellow too.
968
01:16:45,540 --> 01:16:49,540
Into the count on Spud.
969
01:16:49,540 --> 01:16:51,540
Davis is ready again.
970
01:16:51,540 --> 01:16:54,540
Pitchers again the runners on the go and again it's a ball back onto the net.
971
01:16:54,540 --> 01:17:12,540
And it's still three balls and two strikes on Davis.
972
01:17:12,540 --> 01:17:13,540
Davis taking quite a while.
973
01:17:13,540 --> 01:17:18,540
Teams that again.
974
01:17:18,540 --> 01:17:21,540
And he pitches and Davis follows another one.
975
01:17:21,540 --> 01:17:24,540
Mighs back onto the net.
976
01:17:24,540 --> 01:17:25,540
So it's three and two still on Spud.
977
01:17:25,540 --> 01:17:29,540
With Mighs again taking that walk back to first base.
978
01:17:29,540 --> 01:17:31,540
Cardinals have tied the score in the seventh inning.
979
01:17:31,540 --> 01:17:32,540
They have one run home.
980
01:17:32,540 --> 01:17:33,540
Still have Mighs on first base.
981
01:17:33,540 --> 01:17:34,540
Nobody else.
982
01:17:34,540 --> 01:17:37,540
Four tie one and one.
983
01:17:37,540 --> 01:17:39,540
Takes Spud Davis the Cardinal catcher has met.
984
01:17:39,540 --> 01:17:42,060
against Kurt Davis, he jumped 50.
985
01:17:42,060 --> 01:17:53,060
Kurt finally swings around again.
986
01:17:53,060 --> 01:18:02,500
Ready, 50, and the hitter swings, and Miffy is striking out, and this time Myers didn't
987
01:18:02,500 --> 01:18:03,500
try to run.
988
01:18:03,500 --> 01:18:08,100
Miffy had a hunch out there, and if he tried to run that time, it's almost a pure shot
989
01:18:08,100 --> 01:18:12,500
shot, and he didn't try to double him, but he stayed at first base, and so what Davis
990
01:18:12,500 --> 01:18:15,660
strikes out is one out in the seventh inning for the card.
991
01:18:15,660 --> 01:18:21,620
Myers still on first base, one run home, and Leo Jaroczor, Cardinal captain and shortstop,
992
01:18:21,620 --> 01:18:22,620
is at bat.
993
01:18:22,620 --> 01:18:25,620
Leo swings at the ball hard into left field for another base hit.
994
01:18:25,620 --> 01:18:30,620
Allen fields the ball carefully, throws it over to second base, and he sees Myers knocking
995
01:18:30,620 --> 01:18:33,620
there, and a chase in back in a hurry.
996
01:18:33,620 --> 01:18:38,060
Jaroczor, the seven, actually going much side and ball fix, and Myers is looking around
997
01:18:38,060 --> 01:18:43,500
that inch, so he threw the ball back to pitcher, and at the third hit of the inning, the Cardinal
998
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:49,380
tab runners on first and second with one out, one run home in the seventh, and Garibaldi
999
01:18:49,380 --> 01:18:50,380
is at bat.
1000
01:18:50,380 --> 01:18:56,740
Suddenly time is called, and somebody's going to bat for Garibaldi.
1001
01:18:56,740 --> 01:19:01,900
Charlie Gelbert is going down to warm up and go back in to play third base.
1002
01:19:01,900 --> 01:19:03,900
Somebody coming up there.
1003
01:19:03,900 --> 01:19:05,900
That is played for Garibaldi.
1004
01:19:05,900 --> 01:19:18,900
Myers goes running over to dugout, gets a big drink of water while he's got a chance
1005
01:19:18,900 --> 01:19:20,900
to take that time.
1006
01:19:20,900 --> 01:19:23,900
The pinch hitter is Jimmy Collins.
1007
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:25,900
Chris Collins is the pinch hitter.
1008
01:19:25,900 --> 01:19:30,900
Now Mike Gonzalez is running over there to the bench to consult with Frankie Fritz, all
1009
01:19:30,900 --> 01:19:33,900
called to get, use this call to get some water.
1010
01:19:33,900 --> 01:19:37,900
Mike could have gone right into the cup dugout to get a drink if he needed that bad, but
1011
01:19:37,900 --> 01:19:42,900
he wanted to talk things over with Fritz.
1012
01:19:42,900 --> 01:19:49,900
Collins is the pinch hitter in place of Garibaldi, and the dangerous hitter he is to have up
1013
01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:52,900
there too.
1014
01:19:52,900 --> 01:19:56,900
Cardinal tab runners on first and second with one out, one run already home in the seventh
1015
01:19:56,900 --> 01:19:58,900
inning, for a tie one and one.
1016
01:19:58,900 --> 01:20:02,900
Davis ready to pitch to Collins who also switches, and that's why he's batting left handed.
1017
01:20:02,900 --> 01:20:06,900
And the first pitch is wide across the chest for ball one.
1018
01:20:06,900 --> 01:20:09,900
Gelbert is warming up in the bullpen, so is Euther.
1019
01:20:09,900 --> 01:20:16,900
Be ready to go in in case of emergency.
1020
01:20:16,900 --> 01:20:20,900
Davis throws the next one to another bad ball, very wide, so Hardin had walked out a long
1021
01:20:20,900 --> 01:20:30,900
time to play before returning up to the pitcher.
1022
01:20:30,900 --> 01:20:34,900
Bird has his sign again, take another look at second base.
1023
01:20:34,900 --> 01:20:39,900
Pitch is on his ball three, another bad ball high and wide, and the pitcher is really in
1024
01:20:39,900 --> 01:20:40,900
a jam now.
1025
01:20:40,900 --> 01:20:45,900
As it comes three and nothing on a very dangerous hitter, with runners on first and second only
1026
01:20:45,900 --> 01:20:50,900
one out, one run already home.
1027
01:20:50,900 --> 01:20:53,900
Davis gets out of his jam without serious damage.
1028
01:20:53,900 --> 01:20:58,900
He's going to have to do some of the greatest pitching he's ever done right now.
1029
01:20:58,900 --> 01:21:01,900
Bird is ready once more.
1030
01:21:01,900 --> 01:21:05,900
Throw, then it's a strike over the heart of the plate, weight high, run the count, three
1031
01:21:05,900 --> 01:21:08,900
and one, three balls and one strike.
1032
01:21:08,900 --> 01:21:16,900
Collins may go after this ball, but it's pretty good, and it's going to be good, or else he
1033
01:21:16,900 --> 01:21:20,900
gets the base on balls anyway.
1034
01:21:20,900 --> 01:21:24,900
He throws and Collins swings it along, foul the way down the right field line, back into
1035
01:21:24,900 --> 01:21:27,900
the sheet, and it's still three and two.
1036
01:21:27,900 --> 01:21:31,900
He gets the ball very wide, so Hardin had walked out a long time to play before returning
1037
01:21:31,900 --> 01:21:40,900
it to the pitcher.
1038
01:21:40,900 --> 01:21:44,900
Bird has the sign again, takes another look at second base.
1039
01:21:44,900 --> 01:21:49,900
Pitchers on it's ball three, another bad ball high and wide, and the pitcher is really in
1040
01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:50,900
a jam now.
1041
01:21:50,900 --> 01:21:55,900
As it comes three and nothing on a very dangerous hitter, with runners on first and second only
1042
01:21:55,900 --> 01:22:00,900
one out, one run already home.
1043
01:22:00,900 --> 01:22:09,900
He's going to have to do some of the greatest pitching he's ever done right now.
1044
01:22:09,900 --> 01:22:12,900
Bird is ready once more.
1045
01:22:12,900 --> 01:22:15,900
Throw, then it's a strike over the heart of the plate, weight high, run the count, three
1046
01:22:15,900 --> 01:22:19,900
and one, three balls and one strike.
1047
01:22:19,900 --> 01:22:26,900
Collins may go after this ball, if it's any good, and it's going to be good, or else he
1048
01:22:26,900 --> 01:22:31,900
gets the base on balls anyway.
1049
01:22:31,900 --> 01:22:34,900
The throws and Collins swings in a long foul, the way down the right field line, back into
1050
01:22:34,900 --> 01:22:37,900
the sheet, and it's still three and two.
1051
01:22:37,900 --> 01:22:42,900
They get the ripper out, or he's walked, he's gone base.
1052
01:22:42,900 --> 01:22:47,900
Chances are there will also be a pinch hitter for Winford, that's why Heuser is warming
1053
01:22:47,900 --> 01:22:51,900
up so hard out there in the bullpen.
1054
01:22:51,900 --> 01:22:58,900
Certainly the cards figure this is their big chance.
1055
01:22:58,900 --> 01:23:02,900
Now Davis swings around, he has his tie in, here's the big one coming, he turns and throws
1056
01:23:02,900 --> 01:23:05,900
the second and the runner almost is out there, but not quite.
1057
01:23:05,900 --> 01:23:10,900
Dirk has came over, Third World made a good throw there and they very nearly got the man
1058
01:23:10,900 --> 01:23:15,900
out, and again, Dirk was all ready to throw, he stepped off the rubber and faked the throw,
1059
01:23:15,900 --> 01:23:19,900
runner dashed back, but Dirk held the ball when he saw that Myers was right there.
1060
01:23:19,900 --> 01:23:22,900
Going to get too much of a start.
1061
01:23:22,900 --> 01:23:27,900
Dirk is playing right off the back of second base, Davis still watching the man in second.
1062
01:23:27,900 --> 01:23:31,900
Pitches and the Collins swings in a foul, coming in to the stands for the left plate,
1063
01:23:31,900 --> 01:23:34,900
up in the second deck.
1064
01:23:34,900 --> 01:23:45,900
It's still three balls and two strikes on Collins.
1065
01:23:45,900 --> 01:23:49,900
Gabbys out there talking to Davis, out in front of the mom, the two of them turn and
1066
01:23:49,900 --> 01:23:57,900
go back to their position.
1067
01:23:57,900 --> 01:24:01,900
Gabbys turns, says something, no fire from Nellie, then turns around, talks once again
1068
01:24:01,900 --> 01:24:07,900
and so Collins steps out of the battered spot, the umpire calls time, rips back up there
1069
01:24:07,900 --> 01:24:12,900
again.
1070
01:24:12,900 --> 01:24:19,900
Down three and two, Davis ready to pitch, pitches and Collins takes strike three, right
1071
01:24:19,900 --> 01:24:21,900
down the middle and he didn't go after it.
1072
01:24:21,900 --> 01:24:26,900
Down the middle of off knee high and he takes the third strike for the second out.
1073
01:24:26,900 --> 01:24:33,900
That makes a two out in the seventh inning for the Cardinals.
1074
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:38,900
Now Charlie Grims over there in the mom, talks to Davis.
1075
01:24:38,900 --> 01:24:48,900
As the two men walk up there to the plate, we hit Ogrodowsky, Bruce Ogrodowsky, the catcher
1076
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:50,900
is going to bat in place of Gwen Ferdy.
1077
01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:59,900
The right hand is batting.
1078
01:24:59,900 --> 01:25:04,900
Ready to pitch the first one now to Brucey, throws and he swings in a high flag going
1079
01:25:04,900 --> 01:25:08,900
foul back at the plate, hard to start back, the wind catches it, carries it back and it
1080
01:25:08,900 --> 01:25:13,900
lands on the net and picks up there up above the box feet.
1081
01:25:13,900 --> 01:25:20,900
It's one strike on Ogrodowsky.
1082
01:25:20,900 --> 01:25:24,900
All that Davis is pitching out there, how he's pitching.
1083
01:25:24,900 --> 01:25:28,900
Cardinal runners on first and second, two out, one run home in the seventh inning for
1084
01:25:28,900 --> 01:25:29,900
a tie, one and one.
1085
01:25:29,900 --> 01:25:37,900
Between the cup and the card.
1086
01:25:37,900 --> 01:25:42,900
Watching second throw and the hitter swings in the curveball inside, what strike two,
1087
01:25:42,900 --> 01:25:46,900
two strikes and Ogrodowsky.
1088
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:54,900
Two strikes to count.
1089
01:25:54,900 --> 01:25:57,900
Davis still watches there, then pitches and the hitter hits the ball back to the box.
1090
01:25:57,900 --> 01:26:01,900
Billy Herman gets it, throws a long throw to first base and he's out.
1091
01:26:01,900 --> 01:26:06,900
He's out for the third out and Kurt Davis really did a job of pitching that time.
1092
01:26:06,900 --> 01:26:07,900
Really did a job of pitching.
1093
01:26:07,900 --> 01:26:12,900
He pitched as I don't think I've ever seen him pitch.
1094
01:26:12,900 --> 01:26:13,900
Thank you.
1095
01:26:13,900 --> 01:26:17,900
Walter Johnson comes in and gathers the official figures for today's game.
1096
01:26:17,900 --> 01:26:19,900
27,000 people.
1097
01:26:19,900 --> 01:26:23,900
That's a lot of people.
1098
01:26:23,900 --> 01:26:31,900
For a midweek game, it's a special lot of people.
1099
01:26:31,900 --> 01:26:35,900
There's the announcement of what we announced a minute ago.
1100
01:26:35,900 --> 01:26:41,900
Elbert Plains, Jared Huser pitching.
1101
01:26:41,900 --> 01:26:46,900
Start the last half of the seventh inning, broadcast the Cup Cardinal game, come to your
1102
01:26:46,900 --> 01:26:51,900
direction, ballpark, as a presentation of your neighborhood technical dealer, and with
1103
01:26:51,900 --> 01:26:55,900
the permission of the Cup and the Cardinals to stimulate interest in our national game
1104
01:26:55,900 --> 01:26:58,900
and in your own local baseball team.
1105
01:26:58,900 --> 01:27:00,900
WCFL at Chicago.
1106
01:27:00,900 --> 01:27:04,900
Huser throws the first one to Stanley Haack, who's the first man to stand in the seventh
1107
01:27:04,900 --> 01:27:07,900
inning, and Stan takes the third ball wide for ball one.
1108
01:27:07,900 --> 01:27:11,900
Wind turns up from the dust, steps out of the box, time is called, and he's back up
1109
01:27:11,900 --> 01:27:14,900
there to play it again.
1110
01:27:14,900 --> 01:27:16,900
Huser pitches.
1111
01:27:16,900 --> 01:27:18,900
Stan swings in, it's low bound, a card third.
1112
01:27:18,900 --> 01:27:21,900
Elbert comes in, gets it, and Stan beats it out.
1113
01:27:21,900 --> 01:27:23,900
Beat it out for a base hit.
1114
01:27:23,900 --> 01:27:27,900
He was in there almost a full step ahead of the ball.
1115
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:29,900
Very, very fast, you know.
1116
01:27:29,900 --> 01:27:31,900
And he really beat that ball out.
1117
01:27:31,900 --> 01:27:33,900
He was going down that line like a scared rat.
1118
01:27:33,900 --> 01:27:36,900
And it puts Haack on first base with nobody out in the seventh inning.
1119
01:27:36,900 --> 01:27:40,900
And Jurgis, Phil Jurgis, is back.
1120
01:27:40,900 --> 01:27:45,900
Maes comes over to talk to Davis, and Huser, Huser's a right-hander, called Slimboy, and
1121
01:27:45,900 --> 01:27:49,900
Fitch is with a two-thing sidearm delivery.
1122
01:27:49,900 --> 01:27:52,900
That's Wendy on the ball.
1123
01:27:52,900 --> 01:27:54,900
Or a tie one and one.
1124
01:27:54,900 --> 01:27:57,900
Oh, he has a chance to win himself a ball game here.
1125
01:28:07,900 --> 01:28:10,900
Huser on the rubber again, they're expecting Jurgis to bunt, and he does.
1126
01:28:10,900 --> 01:28:12,900
He bunts the ball out there.
1127
01:28:12,900 --> 01:28:16,900
Fitch comes over, gets it, throws to first, covering first, and Jurgis is out on the
1128
01:28:16,900 --> 01:28:19,900
tackle pipe for the first out in the seventh inning.
1129
01:28:19,900 --> 01:28:21,900
Haack going to second base.
1130
01:28:25,900 --> 01:28:28,900
So it's one out of the seventh inning for the Cubs.
1131
01:28:28,900 --> 01:28:30,900
Haack on second base.
1132
01:28:30,900 --> 01:28:34,900
And Charlie Grimm is at bat.
1133
01:28:34,900 --> 01:28:36,900
They may block Charlie.
1134
01:28:36,900 --> 01:28:41,900
Charlie hasn't looked very tough up there to play so far today with two easy flies.
1135
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:43,900
But first base is vacant.
1136
01:28:43,900 --> 01:28:46,900
It's getting near the end of the ball game, and the pitch is the next man up.
1137
01:28:46,900 --> 01:28:49,900
On the other hand, they may figure that they've cut him off before.
1138
01:28:49,900 --> 01:28:50,900
He's in the slump and batting eight.
1139
01:28:50,900 --> 01:28:53,900
They'd rather pitch to it and put an extra runner on base.
1140
01:28:53,900 --> 01:28:56,900
Yeah, that's what they're going to do, but they won't pitch anything good, I'm sure,
1141
01:28:56,900 --> 01:28:59,900
unless they feel that they can get him on it.
1142
01:28:59,900 --> 01:29:02,900
The first pitch is wide and low for ball one.
1143
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:08,900
The world's thrown a second.
1144
01:29:08,900 --> 01:29:09,900
Haack goes back.
1145
01:29:09,900 --> 01:29:12,900
Nobody going over to cover, and takes the lead again.
1146
01:29:12,900 --> 01:29:13,900
Is he ready?
1147
01:29:13,900 --> 01:29:15,900
Looks back at second with more throws.
1148
01:29:15,900 --> 01:29:18,900
Charlie hits one foul down the left of the line.
1149
01:29:18,900 --> 01:29:21,900
Oh, that ball was just outside the foul line.
1150
01:29:21,900 --> 01:29:27,900
Hook to the right, that would have been inside, and a very, very dangerous face hit at a spot like this.
1151
01:29:27,900 --> 01:29:30,900
Charlie hit the ball good.
1152
01:29:30,900 --> 01:29:36,900
Didn't quite get a round on it, and it was a vicious smash foul, just foul, down past third base.
1153
01:29:36,900 --> 01:29:40,900
So it's one and one on Grimm, one ball and one strike.
1154
01:29:40,900 --> 01:29:44,900
Watch the second throw again, and Charlie swings in around, fly out the left center.
1155
01:29:44,900 --> 01:29:48,900
Center fielder's back there though, makes the catch, and it's too out.
1156
01:29:48,900 --> 01:29:50,900
He throws the ball hard into the roach here.
1157
01:29:50,900 --> 01:29:52,900
He deflects it over to Gilbert.
1158
01:29:52,900 --> 01:29:55,900
There's nobody covering third, but David's action down there.
1159
01:29:55,900 --> 01:30:00,900
And so Haack stays at second base.
1160
01:30:00,900 --> 01:30:01,900
The ball was well hit.
1161
01:30:01,900 --> 01:30:05,900
The line smacked off the left center, but it's another ball that was made easy to handle
1162
01:30:05,900 --> 01:30:10,900
by that strong wind blowing in.
1163
01:30:10,900 --> 01:30:15,900
So it's two out of the seventh inning, and Kurt Davis, the cup pitcher, is at bat.
1164
01:30:15,900 --> 01:30:18,900
Kurt comes walking out of the dugout, up toward the plate.
1165
01:30:18,900 --> 01:30:22,900
Now it gives him a hand as he walks out there.
1166
01:30:22,900 --> 01:30:33,900
Chance to possibly win his own good ball game right here.
1167
01:30:33,900 --> 01:30:44,900
Kurt finally arrives at the plate.
1168
01:30:44,900 --> 01:30:45,900
That's right handed.
1169
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:48,900
He uses his wings around, gets ready to pitch.
1170
01:30:48,900 --> 01:30:52,900
Pitches him, hitters swings and fouls the ball into the stands to the right of the plate.
1171
01:30:52,900 --> 01:30:57,900
Just misses the second deck, drops from the lower deck, and it's one strike on David.
1172
01:30:57,900 --> 01:31:00,900
One strike is the count.
1173
01:31:00,900 --> 01:31:06,900
He's calling it day one of home.
1174
01:31:06,900 --> 01:31:08,900
Throws the ball in.
1175
01:31:08,900 --> 01:31:12,900
Yumpf has another ball in play, examines that one, and finds he's wrong with it.
1176
01:31:12,900 --> 01:31:14,900
Just in the back of his pocket.
1177
01:31:14,900 --> 01:31:20,900
One strike.
1178
01:31:20,900 --> 01:31:23,900
Throws again and the hitter fouls the ball back on the net.
1179
01:31:23,900 --> 01:31:26,900
Now it goes into the second deck, misses the net above and to the right of the plate.
1180
01:31:26,900 --> 01:31:29,900
Hounds on down, fellow in the front row grabs it.
1181
01:31:29,900 --> 01:31:45,900
Two strikes on Kurt David.
1182
01:31:45,900 --> 01:31:47,900
Richard Huser turns around, made a step towards second.
1183
01:31:47,900 --> 01:31:50,900
Hacks to start to fade back there, but there was nobody covering.
1184
01:31:50,900 --> 01:31:51,900
He takes his lead again.
1185
01:31:51,900 --> 01:31:53,900
He's ready to pitch.
1186
01:31:53,900 --> 01:31:58,900
Pitches and the hitter swings, stops his swing, but the umpire calls it strike three.
1187
01:31:58,900 --> 01:32:06,900
And Galan goes up there and the umpire calls time.
1188
01:32:06,900 --> 01:32:11,900
And apparently decides it's a ball, the umpire out in the field, correcting him.
1189
01:32:11,900 --> 01:32:15,900
And now DeRosa's going over to umpire Stewart.
1190
01:32:15,900 --> 01:32:20,900
He looks to me as though the hitter really did stop up on his swing.
1191
01:32:20,900 --> 01:32:24,900
Umpire Finnelli naturally watching where the ball came over the plate.
1192
01:32:24,900 --> 01:32:31,900
He wanted the swing all the way and when there was a complaint he flashed a signal to the umpire on his second base.
1193
01:32:31,900 --> 01:32:35,900
And umpire Stewart indicated that it was a ball, not a strike.
1194
01:32:35,900 --> 01:32:39,900
Now, some of the other boys come in to argue with umpire Finnelli.
1195
01:32:39,900 --> 01:32:42,900
That happens many, many times during the season.
1196
01:32:42,900 --> 01:32:49,900
The umpire complaint with his eyes on the ball often feels that he might not have seen whether the bat went all the way around or not.
1197
01:32:49,900 --> 01:32:54,900
And he'll ask the umpire out on the field whether it did.
1198
01:32:54,900 --> 01:33:04,900
Leo DeRosa's very angry with it and Gizzy Dean is out there trying to push him away from umpire Stewart because he'd rather say something if he's sorry for it.
1199
01:33:04,900 --> 01:33:07,900
Ray Blades, the coach, runs out there now to ask him.
1200
01:33:07,900 --> 01:33:14,900
And umpire Finnelli comes over from third base and walks away with Leo to talk to him, try to quiet him down.
1201
01:33:14,900 --> 01:33:19,900
The captain was very, very teased at what umpire Stewart did and yet it was his own way.
1202
01:33:19,900 --> 01:33:27,900
As a first he'd be the first one to ask the umpire on the field to help the umpire behind the plate.
1203
01:33:27,900 --> 01:33:37,900
Now umpire Finnelli runs straight out into the field to talk to Dean who's been doing much of the complaining.
1204
01:33:37,900 --> 01:33:42,900
Finally Frankie Fritz orders all the boys who don't belong out there to go back to the bench.
1205
01:33:42,900 --> 01:33:44,900
Because the play is not a novel thing.
1206
01:33:44,900 --> 01:33:46,900
DeRosa's still popping off.
1207
01:33:46,900 --> 01:33:50,900
Umpire Peermann goes over there and tells him all to go back there and take your position.
1208
01:33:50,900 --> 01:33:53,900
You'll be out of there in a minute if you don't look out.
1209
01:33:53,900 --> 01:33:57,900
Umpire Stewart still standing there taking it.
1210
01:33:57,900 --> 01:34:01,900
He runs the count to one and two.
1211
01:34:01,900 --> 01:34:07,900
In my mind the only question was whether the ball was over the plate or not because Davis definitely didn't even go halfway around on the swing.
1212
01:34:07,900 --> 01:34:16,900
They finally get the Cardinals back to their position. You can't blame them for scrapping all the way and trying to get every inch they think is coming to them.
1213
01:34:16,900 --> 01:34:20,900
After all Aaron is pennant right too. They win today there in first place.
1214
01:34:20,900 --> 01:34:22,900
Fighting for everything they can get.
1215
01:34:22,900 --> 01:34:26,900
Now Davis takes ball two and missed the outside corner across the knees.
1216
01:34:26,900 --> 01:34:39,900
And it's two balls and two strikes on Kurt.
1217
01:34:39,900 --> 01:34:45,900
Two and two is the count.
1218
01:34:45,900 --> 01:34:48,900
DeUce already again throws and Davis gets the third ball wide.
1219
01:34:48,900 --> 01:34:59,900
And it's three balls and two strikes on Davis.
1220
01:34:59,900 --> 01:35:01,900
DeUce will take his time getting his time.
1221
01:35:01,900 --> 01:35:04,900
The big one coming up is Kurt. Kurt's got his swing. He pitches.
1222
01:35:04,900 --> 01:35:06,900
Davis swings it a bounder down a third base line.
1223
01:35:06,900 --> 01:35:09,900
Third base and gets the ball. Throw it to first.
1224
01:35:09,900 --> 01:35:16,900
It goes wide but Myers reaches way off to make a one handed stab of the ball and hang onto it for the third out.
1225
01:35:16,900 --> 01:35:18,900
Nice play by Myers over there.
1226
01:35:18,900 --> 01:35:23,900
So it's no runs. One hit. One man left on base in the last half of the seventh inning.
1227
01:35:23,900 --> 01:35:25,900
And the score is still a tie one and one.
1228
01:35:25,900 --> 01:35:33,900
Between the Cubs and the Cardinals at the end of the seventh inning.
1229
01:35:33,900 --> 01:35:39,900
Somebody else being paid out there in the PA system. Well they've got to keep track of everybody I guess.
1230
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:44,900
People who drive all day on business invariably stop at the fire chief's club.
1231
01:35:44,900 --> 01:35:52,900
They found out by using this emergency type gasoline that there's less gear shifting in traffic, faster acceleration with the traffic lights.
1232
01:35:52,900 --> 01:35:57,900
And that saves time. And more mileage per gallon means dollars saved.
1233
01:35:57,900 --> 01:36:15,900
Fill up today with fire chiefs and enjoy these advantages too.
1234
01:36:15,900 --> 01:36:26,900
Davis has finished his warm up to start the eighth inning. First man at bat for the Cardinals is Terry Moore, center fielder and lead off man.
1235
01:36:26,900 --> 01:36:35,900
Terry steps up there to the plate.
1236
01:36:35,900 --> 01:36:39,900
Larry Frank is strolling on down to both ends to get warm in case he's needed.
1237
01:36:39,900 --> 01:36:53,900
And Terry tries to tag a bunch to start the inning off but misses the ball completely for strike one.
1238
01:36:53,900 --> 01:37:01,900
And strikes count. Davis throws a gun and Terry swings in a foul ball at bound amongst the spectators back of the Cubs dugout back at third base.
1239
01:37:01,900 --> 01:37:16,900
And it's two strikes on Moore. He strikes a count.
1240
01:37:16,900 --> 01:37:39,900
Two strikes to count. The interslingers and midfielders striking out for the first out in the eighth inning. One out in the eighth inning for the Cardinals and Fritz is at bat.
1241
01:37:39,900 --> 01:37:52,900
First pitch to Fritz with a fast strike. Let's you go by for strike one. Davis winding up again. Throws and the hitter swings in a high bounder.
1242
01:37:52,900 --> 01:37:58,900
Kurt can't reach it. It's a slow one. Jergus comes across fast. Throws it up. Throws it first. But the runner peeks it out for a base hit.
1243
01:37:58,900 --> 01:38:07,900
He's there the first base. But Jergus made a beautiful try on that ball. With the bounder that was just too high for Davis to leap up and grab.
1244
01:38:07,900 --> 01:38:16,900
And Jergus telling across behind Davis. He scooped it up with his bare hand. Made a underhand fast throw to first base. An inaccurate one.
1245
01:38:16,900 --> 01:38:25,900
But couldn't quite get the runner and he's safe on a fast play for a base hit. Putting him on first base with one out in the eighth inning.
1246
01:38:25,900 --> 01:38:36,900
And Pepper Martin at bat. Davis with the first base throw. And Cep gets a strike over the outside corner. Waste time.
1247
01:38:36,900 --> 01:38:51,900
One strike on Martin. Davis as he's trying out there again. He's ready to pitch. Pitch is and the hitter starts to swing stuff.
1248
01:38:51,900 --> 01:38:58,900
But it's a battered ball anyway and it goes out in the center field for a fly. That was funny. He didn't seem to take a full swing at that.
1249
01:38:58,900 --> 01:39:10,900
He got around about halfway on it and then wanted to miss the ball. Let it go by but he followed it so well he met it squarely and it still went out in the center field for a fly ball and a fly out for the second out in the eighth inning.
1250
01:39:10,900 --> 01:39:20,900
So it's too early in the eighth inning for him to hit a ball that hard only half time. What if he had met that ball square with all his power.
1251
01:39:20,900 --> 01:39:31,900
Medwick up at bat. Medwick up there at the plate for the Cardinals. Davis watches first base and throws and goes swings in a foul up against the right edge of the screen for strike one.
1252
01:39:31,900 --> 01:39:39,900
Bounds on down into the field. It's one strike on Medwick. Ruud and Frank both keeping warm for the Cubs.
1253
01:39:39,900 --> 01:39:56,900
In case of emergency here and the right hander and left hander ready to go in. Davis steps on the slab again. First base. Pitch is and it's a ball. It's inside across the chest and it's one ball and one strike on Medwick.
1254
01:39:56,900 --> 01:40:06,900
One and one.
1255
01:40:06,900 --> 01:40:14,900
Again Medwick swings it to beauty off the right field for a base hit. Demery goes over fast throws it in to Billy Herman who turns and throws to third.
1256
01:40:14,900 --> 01:40:20,900
Just barely safe on a very false play. Getting to third base on Medwick's free throw to the right.
1257
01:40:20,900 --> 01:40:36,900
Sled safely into third base and he's sitting on the back there as Mike Gonzalez, the coach, and they're talking to him. Looking out this way on the next man.
1258
01:40:36,900 --> 01:40:55,900
Cousins causing more trouble on their top first and third two out of the eighth inning. Now Shorty Grimm calls a conference of all the emcees and the catcher at the pitcher's mound as the Husky dangerous Johnny Mize comes to bat.
1259
01:40:55,900 --> 01:40:58,900
Johnny already has two hits today.
1260
01:40:58,900 --> 01:41:02,260
Doubled to left, single to right, and he fly it out once to left.
1261
01:41:02,260 --> 01:41:04,660
Grim tells Davis now, you can do it.
1262
01:41:04,660 --> 01:41:06,500
Boys scatter back to their positions.
1263
01:41:06,500 --> 01:41:08,020
Gaby coming back behind the plate.
1264
01:41:08,020 --> 01:41:11,540
And my standing there swinging free bat is ready.
1265
01:41:19,060 --> 01:41:20,420
Steps up to the plate.
1266
01:41:20,420 --> 01:41:28,340
Davis there getting his time.
1267
01:41:28,340 --> 01:41:32,340
Gets the time, looks at the runners.
1268
01:41:32,340 --> 01:41:35,860
Then pitches and my swings in the ball hard to right field.
1269
01:41:35,860 --> 01:41:36,900
Way, way back.
1270
01:41:36,900 --> 01:41:39,380
And it goes in the bleachers for a home run.
1271
01:41:39,380 --> 01:41:43,220
Blind smack into the bleachers in the right field for a home run.
1272
01:41:43,220 --> 01:41:45,140
And boy how that ball was hit.
1273
01:41:45,140 --> 01:41:48,260
Didn't go very high, didn't go high on the last throw of the bleachers.
1274
01:41:48,260 --> 01:41:54,100
All the way out there and Jeff went over the top of the pin and into the stands.
1275
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:56,580
And Medwick waits for him at the plate.
1276
01:41:56,580 --> 01:41:59,380
Grabs his hand as he comes across the plate.
1277
01:41:59,380 --> 01:42:06,180
And then, DeRosha grabs his hand also and then kicks Medwick in the back of his lap.
1278
01:42:06,180 --> 01:42:09,060
As he comes walking there, Joe also comes up there.
1279
01:42:09,060 --> 01:42:11,700
And that gives the Cardinals a three run lead.
1280
01:42:11,700 --> 01:42:19,540
Cubs still have the idea that this fella is an eyeball hitter and that's one thing that
1281
01:42:19,540 --> 01:42:21,140
Davis does not pitch well.
1282
01:42:21,140 --> 01:42:25,220
Now Davis at bat hits the first pitch but it's a foul way down the right field line
1283
01:42:25,220 --> 01:42:28,260
and into the seat for strike one.
1284
01:42:33,140 --> 01:42:35,540
And the Cardinals are leading now four to one.
1285
01:42:35,540 --> 01:42:41,220
In the eighth inning, Mr. Mize has quite a hitter up there at that plate.
1286
01:42:41,220 --> 01:42:45,220
His third hit of the afternoon, a single, a double and a home run for him.
1287
01:42:45,220 --> 01:42:48,820
Drove in those three runs, just looks as though this fella might get out of there.
1288
01:42:48,820 --> 01:42:54,660
Davis throws again and Bud Davis falls to the ground, let a high ball go by inside for
1289
01:42:54,660 --> 01:42:56,180
ball one.
1290
01:42:56,180 --> 01:43:10,260
And Kurt winds up pitches and the hitter takes ball two high on the inside, making it two
1291
01:43:10,260 --> 01:43:13,220
balls and one strike on the spot.
1292
01:43:18,260 --> 01:43:19,220
One to one to count.
1293
01:43:21,780 --> 01:43:25,860
Swings again to hit a high fly, Billy Herman's back in short right field, waving everybody
1294
01:43:25,860 --> 01:43:30,740
away for him, jogs over towards the foul line and makes the catch for the third out, but
1295
01:43:30,740 --> 01:43:34,340
not until dire damage has been done for the hopes of these tough fans.
1296
01:43:35,940 --> 01:43:43,220
Three runs, three hits in the eighth inning and it all started with that little dribbler
1297
01:43:43,220 --> 01:43:45,460
that bounced over Davis' head.
1298
01:43:45,460 --> 01:43:49,940
Three runs, three hits for the Cardinals and the Cubs come to bat in the last half of the
1299
01:43:49,940 --> 01:43:53,620
eighth with the Cardinals leading by a score of four to one.
1300
01:43:53,620 --> 01:43:56,020
First cup hitter will be Augie Gallant.
1301
01:44:00,020 --> 01:44:03,380
We've got to go Jimmy, well go on, see you tomorrow night out there.
1302
01:44:03,380 --> 01:44:07,700
Have Pepper Martin and Dizzy and the boys out there at Riverview to drive in your car.
1303
01:44:09,220 --> 01:44:12,180
That's where they're going to anyway, Medwick says he'll drive the other one.
1304
01:44:12,180 --> 01:44:22,900
It's not going to be a good race at that if we can keep him going slow enough.
1305
01:44:22,900 --> 01:44:29,620
Here is Gallant's back to start the eighth inning, but you're finishing his warm up.
1306
01:44:29,620 --> 01:44:38,580
Ogudovsky's up there warming up the pitcher, but Davis is waiting up there, waiting his turn.
1307
01:44:46,980 --> 01:44:50,980
And Huser finally gets the ball as we're ready to go in the last half of the eighth inning.
1308
01:44:50,980 --> 01:44:53,220
Atlanta's back, Huser starts to wind up.
1309
01:44:54,260 --> 01:44:57,300
Pitches, Augie swings in an easy bound right back at the pitcher.
1310
01:44:57,300 --> 01:45:00,660
He got the throw at the first and it's one out in the eighth inning.
1311
01:45:00,660 --> 01:45:04,980
One out in the eighth inning for the cup and Allen is up there to play.
1312
01:45:05,700 --> 01:45:06,420
Allen at bat.
1313
01:45:13,700 --> 01:45:16,180
Keith, right-hander hitter, waits there to get the time.
1314
01:45:20,020 --> 01:45:20,660
Ready to pitch.
1315
01:45:20,660 --> 01:45:26,340
Throws and it's a fast one inside for ball one. One ball call.
1316
01:45:32,100 --> 01:45:38,660
Ready once again, throws and the hitter takes it for ball two inside across the chest and it's two and nothing.
1317
01:45:38,660 --> 01:45:53,780
Nothing is to count and there's a no almost a strike but not quite.
1318
01:45:53,780 --> 01:45:58,740
Just missed the outside corner about shoulder high and the umpire almost started to call it that then
1319
01:45:58,740 --> 01:46:03,780
stopped and so Davis turns and calls for a new ball. The reason that didn't go over there's no
1320
01:46:03,780 --> 01:46:08,340
question about the pitch being a ball but it seemed it was going over the plate and suddenly
1321
01:46:08,340 --> 01:46:12,900
sailed a little and the umpire throws the ball out of play. Now he's to lay one down the middle for
1322
01:46:12,900 --> 01:46:16,660
a strike and it's three and one on Allen. Three balls and one strike.
1323
01:46:20,660 --> 01:46:26,020
Ready again winds up throws and it's ball four inside across the chest. Allen gets the base on
1324
01:46:26,020 --> 01:46:40,500
ball and it puts him on first base with one out of the eight innings and Billy Herman is back.
1325
01:46:40,500 --> 01:46:47,140
Billy sort of digs in there to play at his spot to break his foot in as he faces the pitcher.
1326
01:46:47,140 --> 01:46:48,340
One strike on field.
1327
01:46:48,340 --> 01:46:59,780
So ready once again now throws and Herman hits the next one an easy
1328
01:46:59,780 --> 01:47:04,420
boundary out back to the pitcher. Fritz gets the ball and steps on second throws the first for a
1329
01:47:04,420 --> 01:47:10,580
double play. Fast play by Frankie Fritz who ran over in front of second base. Grab that ball step
1330
01:47:10,580 --> 01:47:15,300
back on second to force Allen for the second out and then through the first to complete a double
1331
01:47:15,300 --> 01:47:21,380
play for the third out of the inning and it's no runs no hits. In the eighth inning for the Cubs
1332
01:47:21,380 --> 01:47:26,260
they score remaining four to one in favor of the Cardinals at the end of the eighth inning
1333
01:47:26,260 --> 01:47:32,900
of this the opening game of the four game series between the Cubs and the Cubs.
1334
01:47:34,100 --> 01:47:40,660
You people who have your technical scorebook can record this vital series in the book as you see it
1335
01:47:40,660 --> 01:47:45,140
at the park or as you get it over the air and people who haven't better get ready for important
1336
01:47:45,140 --> 01:47:50,660
series to come by stopping in at your or any technical service station asking for request
1337
01:47:50,660 --> 01:47:54,820
cards filling in your name and address on the vacant side it's already addressed to me on the
1338
01:47:54,820 --> 01:48:00,420
other side the one-cent stamp on it and mail it in and get that scorebook in a hurry. The book
1339
01:48:00,420 --> 01:48:05,700
contains the official scoring blanks for 17 games pictures of Cubs and stocks their rosters and
1340
01:48:05,700 --> 01:48:10,900
schedules and a complete scoring system the one we've used for 15 years here in the fresh spot
1341
01:48:10,900 --> 01:48:15,620
with illustrations and full explanations so that you can keep these games for years and years to
1342
01:48:15,620 --> 01:48:21,060
come and also tell what it means when you see those marks in the scorebook. The roach or fat
1343
01:48:21,060 --> 01:48:27,540
swings is the first pitch to miss it for strike one. Davis winds up again throws Leo swings his ball
1344
01:48:27,540 --> 01:48:32,420
hard into left center. Galant comes in fast grabs for the ball and gets back in throwing clear back
1345
01:48:32,420 --> 01:48:37,620
to the plate here. Roach is rounding second base on his way to third and Allen gets the ball throws
1346
01:48:37,620 --> 01:48:42,420
it into Jargus who turns and throws it into the plate with Davis cutting it off and it's a three
1347
01:48:42,420 --> 01:48:49,220
base hit. The land fly for a two swing catch there couldn't reach it and it goes on through
1348
01:48:49,220 --> 01:48:55,380
for a three base hit putting DeRosha on third base to open the night thing and bringing Charlie
1349
01:48:55,380 --> 01:48:59,780
Gelver get back. Gelver the right-handed hitter now playing third base with a card
1350
01:48:59,780 --> 01:49:08,420
in field playing in left side playing about halfway in right side all the way into the draft
1351
01:49:08,420 --> 01:49:12,820
and the first pitch is inside and low for ball one. One ball on Gelver
1352
01:49:21,780 --> 01:49:26,980
throws again and Charlie swings and misses a high fastball inside for strike one making it one and
1353
01:49:26,980 --> 01:49:32,500
one. Again Root and French are warming up in the left field both ends of the cup and they go in there
1354
01:49:32,500 --> 01:49:39,860
if another one scores more men get on base. All the way Huser is relieved Winford begins to look as
1355
01:49:39,860 --> 01:49:44,580
though things are a little bit tough. The hitter hits the next one to pop by over Billy Herman's
1356
01:49:44,580 --> 01:49:51,700
head. Billy gets it and it's one out of the ninth inning. Bringing Huser and a pitcher to back
1357
01:49:51,700 --> 01:49:58,900
and he comes strolling out of the bench walking up there toward the plate. Huser is back with one out
1358
01:49:58,900 --> 01:50:04,740
of the ninth inning for the Cardinals DeRosha on third base infield still playing in close wanting
1359
01:50:04,740 --> 01:50:15,140
to cut down that run of the plate. Three base hit. The land's tied for a two swing catch there
1360
01:50:15,140 --> 01:50:21,700
couldn't break it and it goes on through for a three base hit putting DeRosha on third base to open the
1361
01:50:21,700 --> 01:50:27,460
ninth inning and bringing Charlie Gelbert to back. Gelbert a right-handed hitter now playing third base
1362
01:50:27,460 --> 01:50:28,020
for the card.
1363
01:50:31,380 --> 01:50:35,940
Infield playing in left side playing about halfway in right side all the way into the
1364
01:50:35,940 --> 01:50:45,540
draft and the first pitch is inside and low for ball one. One ball on Gelbert.
1365
01:50:50,020 --> 01:50:53,380
Goes again and Charlie swings and misses a high fast ball inside.
1366
01:50:53,380 --> 01:50:58,340
Horse strike one making it one and one. Ken Root and French are warming up in the left field.
1367
01:50:58,340 --> 01:51:06,180
Ben's the cup and they go in there if another one scores more men get on base. All the way Huser is relieved.
1368
01:51:06,740 --> 01:51:11,140
Winford begins to look as though things are a little bit tough. The hitter hits the next one
1369
01:51:11,140 --> 01:51:15,860
to pop by over Billy Herman's head. Billy he's got it and it's one out of the ninth inning.
1370
01:51:17,940 --> 01:51:22,580
Bringing Huser and a pitcher to back and he comes strolling out of the
1371
01:51:22,580 --> 01:51:28,820
bench walking up there toward the plate. Huser at bat with one out of the ninth inning for the Cardinal.
1372
01:51:28,820 --> 01:51:34,420
DeRosha on third base. Infield still playing in close wanting to cut down that run of the plate.
1373
01:51:35,460 --> 01:51:39,300
Cardinals are three runs ahead now they don't want to bad anymore because they're going to be coming up
1374
01:51:40,260 --> 01:51:42,180
job to get those three back if they can do it.
1375
01:51:43,940 --> 01:51:48,180
Huser back right-handed Infield still in and he swings and follows the first one on the ground
1376
01:51:48,180 --> 01:51:53,780
back between what strike one one strike on Huser.
1377
01:52:06,340 --> 01:52:07,700
One strike on Huser.
1378
01:52:10,500 --> 01:52:13,380
Pitcher waiting out there again as the time he's winding up.
1379
01:52:13,380 --> 01:52:21,220
He throws and he swings amidst the fastball inside for strike two. That makes it two strikes on Huser.
1380
01:52:23,060 --> 01:52:27,860
One up DeRosha on third base Cardinals leading four to one in the first half of the ninth inning.
1381
01:52:29,860 --> 01:52:34,420
Davis again starts to wind up. Throws and the hitter takes a ball inside and low.
1382
01:52:34,420 --> 01:52:45,860
So it's one on two one ball and two strikes.
1383
01:52:45,860 --> 01:52:49,620
Davis winds up again. Throws and the hitter swings and misses striking out
1384
01:52:49,620 --> 01:52:53,940
for the second down in the ninth inning and they get two out of the ninth for the Cardinals
1385
01:52:53,940 --> 01:53:04,660
and Terry Moore the Cardinals center fielder is at back.
1386
01:53:04,660 --> 01:53:07,940
Moore up there at the plate just waiting out there. Hits the sign, starts to wind up.
1387
01:53:09,060 --> 01:53:13,460
Pitchers and the hitter swings in a little looping fly on left field and it drops in there for a base
1388
01:53:13,460 --> 01:53:18,260
hit with another run scoring. He's going for two. Allen gets the ball throws it to second base but
1389
01:53:18,260 --> 01:53:24,660
Moore slides in head first and stretches it to a two base hit. That's what we call a technical leaguer.
1390
01:53:24,660 --> 01:53:31,300
A little looping fly off the handle of the bat that just dropped out over the infield too far in for
1391
01:53:31,300 --> 01:53:37,220
Allen to reach and by fast running Moore stretches it to a double. DeRosha scores easily.
1392
01:53:37,220 --> 01:53:44,980
You get the Cardinals now a five to one lead over the top in the ninth inning and Frankie Briggs
1393
01:53:44,980 --> 01:53:50,020
is the fast. Davis throws the first one, Frank reaches out hits another one into left field but
1394
01:53:50,020 --> 01:53:54,900
Allen is in and he has to block it. He can't get in enough to get it. Drops for another base hit
1395
01:53:54,900 --> 01:54:03,140
and another run score. I thought Allen was going to get that ball. I think he thought it was sinking
1396
01:54:03,140 --> 01:54:08,340
faster than it was and by the time he got in to get a hold of it he decided he couldn't reach it
1397
01:54:08,340 --> 01:54:13,060
so he stopped and the ball landed right at his feet and it's a single to permit Moore to score
1398
01:54:13,060 --> 01:54:20,580
also and give the Cardinals now a six to one lead in the ninth inning and bring Pepper Martin to bat.
1399
01:54:28,980 --> 01:54:33,380
Davis watched first base pretty closely then pitches and kept taking wide on across the
1400
01:54:33,380 --> 01:54:42,900
knee from ball one. One ball called. Two runs home in the ninth and Briggs still on first base. Davis
1401
01:54:42,900 --> 01:54:47,060
throws again and the hitter swings hit a boundary. Jurgis goes to his left, gets it on a nasty hop,
1402
01:54:47,060 --> 01:54:52,900
throws the second and Briggs is forced up for the third out ending the ninth inning but not until
1403
01:54:52,900 --> 01:54:58,500
further damage has been done. As far as the cover concerned or if you're on the other side
1404
01:54:58,500 --> 01:55:04,580
it might stay further profit by the Cardinals. Two runs, three hits, one man left on base
1405
01:55:05,860 --> 01:55:10,900
in the first half of the ninth inning and the Cardinals are leading the Cubs by a score of six
1406
01:55:10,900 --> 01:55:16,180
to one as the Cubs come to bat in the last half of the ninth inning. Gaby Hartnett the first man up
1407
01:55:16,180 --> 01:55:23,780
the Cubs needing five runs to tie it up and six to win. Broadcast of the Cubs Cardinal game coming

01:55:43,540 --> 01:55:51,300
Gaby Hartnett is up there at the plate.
1413
01:55:52,740 --> 01:55:57,700
Yusra has finished the warm-up. Cardinals aren't taking any chances now keeping big
1414
01:55:57,700 --> 01:56:02,660
George Earnshaw warmed up out on the right field bullpen just threw one that gets clear past
1415
01:56:02,660 --> 01:56:07,140
the catcher and bounded way out along the fence in front of the right field bleachers.
1416
01:56:07,140 --> 01:56:14,980
Gaby Hartnett talking to David he steps up there to the plate
1417
01:56:16,820 --> 01:56:22,420
and Yusra starts to wind up he pitches and Gaby takes the ball it's over the plate but too low
1418
01:56:22,420 --> 01:56:23,300
one ball call
1419
01:56:26,180 --> 01:56:31,300
wait out there again boy preaching to Rocha talking it up Rocha's playing way back in the grass
1420
01:56:31,300 --> 01:56:36,900
over back to his position and Gaby follows the next one back onto the net back in the plate for
1421
01:56:36,900 --> 01:56:40,900
strike one making one ball and one strike on Hartnett.
1422
01:56:46,420 --> 01:56:50,660
And the pitcher throws and Gaby swings hit a boundary down the shortstop Rocha comes in fast
1423
01:56:50,660 --> 01:56:55,700
Guchet throws the first throws in the dirt but Maia Guchet and hangs on to the base with his foot
1424
01:56:55,700 --> 01:57:01,380
at the same time he's got Hartnett for the first out in the ninth inning one out of the ninth inning
1425
01:57:01,380 --> 01:57:04,100
for the cup and strike Demery is at best.
1426
01:57:14,580 --> 01:57:19,140
Throw the first one and Frank takes a strike fast ball over the heart of the plate
1427
01:57:19,140 --> 01:57:28,980
way high one strike on Demery and Yusra throws again at the strike two
1428
01:57:28,980 --> 01:57:33,620
that's the inside corner down around the knees and it makes it two strikes on Demery.
1429
01:57:40,660 --> 01:57:45,780
And the pitcher throws and it's ball one this time wide for the count is one and two.
1430
01:57:45,780 --> 01:57:49,540
Two. One ball and two strikes.
1431
01:57:53,380 --> 01:57:58,260
Yusra throws again and Demery swings and misses striking out for the second out of the ninth inning.
1432
01:57:59,060 --> 01:58:04,420
Makes it two out of the ninth inning for the cup and the next man up there Stanley Hackensack.
1433
01:58:04,420 --> 01:58:17,780

1434
01:58:19,620 --> 01:58:24,660

Down there low but knee high over the plate and it's two strikes on Hack. Two strikes to count.
1439
01:58:49,620 --> 01:58:53,860
There's the first ball it's wide and low so it's one ball and two strikes on Hack.
1440
01:58:53,860 --> 01:58:55,860
One and two.
1441
01:58:59,780 --> 01:59:06,100
Winding up again. Throws and it's ball two. It's inside across the knees and now the pitcher yells
1442
01:59:06,100 --> 01:59:11,860
though he thought that one was good. Looked to be way inside. Davis also says something about it.
1443
01:59:12,500 --> 01:59:14,660
Now it's two and two. Two balls and two strikes.

01:59:33,620 --> 01:59:37,460
Winding up again. Throws and hitter swings in a slow boundary.
1448
01:59:37,460 --> 01:59:40,500
Groshe comes in got the throw to first and Hack it back in.
1449
01:59:40,500 --> 01:59:45,620

1450
01:59:45,620 --> 01:59:49,620
Quite a ball game right up to the very end.
1451
01:59:51,620 --> 01:59:53,620

1459
02:00:39,620 --> 02:00:41,620
Go back into the lead by a couple of percentage points.
