Ring had the Robins eating out of his hand from first to last, and very few crumbs they got Three widely scattered :vn\fil@ and not a sign of a run were what the mathematicians had to report at the end of the ninth session. So far as Cadore is concerned, while he was banged hard and frequently, the Reds getting four doubles from his slants, vet he pitched he v ball and got out of many tight places through coolness and excellent control He held the Reds scoreless until the sev- enth inning, when they got together the hits that gave the only run of the game.
