The Gas House Gang

September 26, 1926 at Crosley Field

Reds 2, Cardinals 1  (89-65)

The final game of the season, which had the top two teams in the National League going head to head, was anticlimactic because of a late September slide by the Reds.  Hi Bell threw a very nice game and left with a 1-0 lead by Bill Hallahan gave up two runs to the Reds in the bottom of the ninth as the Cards lost their final game of the season.

Les Bell doubled and scored the only run of the game for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals got almost a week off before they began their best of seven series against the New York Yankees.
