The Packers, and overweight, lost a 6 to 0 decision In 1937 and that defeat still rankled as they came out under the floodlights last night. Too, it gave the National league the lead in the series. Three victories to two. Two have been tied.

George Uhle sorted for us, and I decided to catch my old battery mate. I intended to stick in there through the three innings Feller was to work, but I was plenty happy when an opportunity came to let Billy Sullivan bat for me in the fifth. Bob was so fast and the ball was so live that it was dangerous for an old man like me to be catching him. Joe Becker caught the sixth Bob's final inning in his first appearance in professional bail. "Feller, as you know, struck out eight of the nine Cardinals who faced him. "Leo Durocher was the first, and with Bob's first pitch, he turned to me and remarked: Another Jeff Pfeffer. He looks at third base and throws the ball over the plate." "That's one of the secrets of Feller's success. His delivery is such that the batter can't tell whether he is looking at him. I remember Eddie Rose, a veteran and good Southern Association hitter, saying: 'It looks as though that kid is going to throw the ball straight up in the air, but it comes over the plate.'
