Then, having broken the Cards’ backs in the opener, the bounding Brooks breezed to a 6-to-1 tritmph in the nightcap that gave them a clean sweep of the four-game series and extended .heir winning streak to eight straight. Trailing by three runs as they came to bat in the ninth inning of the opener, Reiser rapped a pinch double that drove in two runs, Vaughan contributed a single and Edwards a walk that kept the rally going, and Marv Rackley delivered a long fly that tied the score. -Rookie George Shuba, who was inserted into the starting linetip after serving the last few weeks on the bench, then knocked in the winning tally with a single.

Ewert didn't figure to cause Riegel much trouble since he had just barely qualified for the tournament with a 156. But he had the defending champion one down at the turn and Riegel had to battle back from there. Ewert just failed to tie the match on the 18th green when he missed a threefoot putt.

It was played before 90,000 empty seats in the city’s Municipal Stadium. The spectators included Mr, and Mrs. Tom Shibe, Judge Landis, Tournament Chairman Dan Sowers and two of his relatives and the two umpires. Sowers took the problem to Landis and in February, 1928, Landis’ executive council agreed to underwrite the tourney for $50,000. The money was given annually until 1934. The payment that year was only $4000 as baseball was staggering through the depression. Six newspapers; however, each donated $6000. Starting in 1935, the big leagues
