Reds 2, Cardinals 0: Edd Roush doubled in a pair of runs and Hod Eller whitewashed the punchless Cards on four hits as Cincinnati won for the sixth time in seven games to start the season. Bill Sherdel put in a fine performance on the mound for St. Louis, despite four errors behind that included a pair by Rogers Hornsby, but he couldn't hold back the red-hot (.393, League-leading ten RBI) Roush; the Reds' center-fielder hammered one over the head of RF Jack Smith with two men on and two out in the 5th to score the only runs of the contest. Meanwhile, the Cardinals were helpless against Eller - they stroked singles in each of the first two innings, and stolen bases that put those runners into scoring position, but failed to score on both occasions and then managed just two hits over the final seven frames. Eller set down twelve men in a row at one stretch and fanned six while walking only two. [box]
