On September 25, 1936 The Cincinnati Reds troublesome all season kept the St Louis Cardinals from assuring themselves second place in the National League today by winning their only victory of the present series, 3 to 2.
A 3-run attack in the second brought the victory that seemed slipping in the ninth when Finch Hitter Rip Collins, first up, doubled and a typical Gashouse rally seemed imminent, But Ray “peaches” Davis bore down and snuffed out the next three batters on two infield blows and a foul fly.
Joe Medwick of the Cards, who set a new National League record for doubles when he hit his 63rd yesterday, added .his 64th today in the third, but two already were out, and Slugger John Mize couldn’t bring him home.
