Cubs Turn Chase Into Commanding Series Win Over Cardinals
Chicago Cubs pitcher Howie Pollet blanked the St Louis Cardinals 3-0 as rookie Bob Speake contributed a two run homer and a single. Speake's bat and Pollet's curve fueled a three game sweep limiting the Cards to one run and 12 hits. Speake, initially a first baseman, now in the outfield, has seven homers and 23 RBIs while batting .284 for a club rising beyond last year's win pace. The Cubs’ pitching staff, including Jeffcoat Rush and Minner, delivered multiple shutouts and complete games. Meanwhile the White Sox split a doubleheader with Cleveland, winning 3-1 and losing 10-9, with Vern Stephens and Nellie Fox homering in the nightcap.
