Grover Alexander picked up another win for the Cardinals and he’s been solid down the stretch.  He gave up three runs on nine hits and one walk with two strikeouts.

Les Bell homered and Tommy Thevenow drove in two runs.  Ray Blades, Chick Hafey and Bob O’Farrell all scored twice in the game.  The win gave the Cardinals a half game lead in the National League.
