Reds 1, Cubs 0: The pitching was again in the ascendancy at Weeghman Park as the two clubs staged their second low-scoring affair in as many days although, in the end, the result was the same. It was Cincinnati's lower order that won the day in Chicago today, as Jake Daubert doubled in the 4th inning and Bil Rariden singled him home for the only run of the game. Daubert, who had three hits and a pair of stolen bases on the afternoon, hit for two bases with one out in the inning and scored when the Cincinnati catcher struck a dying quail that just got over the head of Cubs' shortstop Charlie Hollocher and safely onto the outfield grass. The rest of the day's responsibility was shouldered by young Rube Bressler - the 24-year-old lefty was making his first appearance of the season, and he made it a memorable one as he held Chicago to six hits and a walk in a duel with "Hippo" Vaughn. The Cubs got two aboard in both the 5th and the 7th, but Bressler was up to the challenge on both occasions and finished with a flourish by retiring the final eight men to face him. [box] [broadcast]
