Bil McKechnie's Cincinnati Reds decided yesterday that it was time they put an end to the way the Brooklyn Dodgers had been ignoring the fact that Cincinnati is the pen hant holder in the senior loop. Thei pride badly hurt by Brooklyn's victor: in the opening game of the present crucial series on Friday, the champions went like a house on fire at Crostey Field, in Cincinnati, yesterday and gave the Brooklynites the [licking of their lives.

Cincinnati's 23-2 victory on a barrage of 27 hits not only was the biggest scoring spree the Cincinnati crew has staged this season, but a mighty sweet revenge which enabled them to regain the league lead, where they feel the Flatbush fumblers had no right to stay in the first place. Outfielder Harry Craft paced the Red attack by banging out a homer, a triple, a double and two singles to account for six of the Rhinelanders' runs, A shower of pop bottles features the New York Giants twin victory over Mike Gonzalez' Cardinals at St. Louis. In the first game the Cards outhit the Giants 13-9, but Giant rookie pitcher Roy Joiner was tight in the pinches. New York scored twice in the third inning of the second game to clinch the game following a hail of pop bottles over a disputed decision Joe Orengo's homer in the eighth' inning closed the scoring for the Cards. The twin defeat sent the Cards deep in seventh place.
