Rogers Hornsby smacked 3 homeruns as the St. Louis Cardinals topped the
Chicago Cubs in 10 innings by a score of 12 to 8 at Sportsman's Park.
 
The score was tied at 8 after nine.  St. Louis ended up winning it in the 10th
inning.  The key at-bat was by Hornsby who made the crowd happy when he
cleared the bases with a Grand Slam homerun.  For the game St. Louis out-hit
Chicago 15 to 12.  
 
Harry Salmon(1-0) went 3 innings allowing 1 run for the victory. Elmer
Jacobs(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief.  He was not very effective,
surrendering 3 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'I felt great out there today,' Hornsby said, 'Maybe I should make a regular
habit of getting to bed on time!'
