New York wasted no time and took the lead in the first inning as they scored 3 runs on 3 base hits. The key at-bat was by Bill Terry who disappointed the partisan crowd when he popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 6th of the season). Brooklyn was out-hit by New York, 15 hits to 11. Fred Fitzsimmons(20-7) got the win allowing 4 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. Al Smith gained credit for his 3rd save. Van Lingle Mungo(9-18) was hit with the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 10 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings. ST. LOUIS AT CHICAGO Cardinals....... 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 - 2 9 0 Cubs............ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 7 0 Win:Dean(18-8) Loss:Bush(11-9) Dizzy Dean pitched a complete game shutout and second baseman Frankie Frisch had 2 base hits as the blistering-hot St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs by the score of 2 to 0 at Wrigley Field. Dean(18-8) put on a good performance. He surrendered only 7 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. After the 4th inning, neither team was able to score. Guy Bush(11-9) ended up with the loss. He gave up 9 hits and 1 walk in 8 innings. St. Louis extended their winning streak to 8 games.
