Brooklyn Salvages Split with Defending Champs; Robins and Reds Tied for First Place

Brooklyn denies Cincinnati starter Jimmy Ring his sixteenth victory with a six run barrage in the fifth inning from which the Reds do not recover.  After four scoreless frames, the Robins jump Ring for four runs on five hits and a walk before manager Pat Moran replaces him with reliever Ray Fisher.  Two more runs cross the plate all charged to Jimmy Ring.  Ivy Olson, Zack Wheat, Hi Myers and Ed Konetchy all drives in runs, while Jimmy Johnston knocks home two.  Starter Leon Cadore allows three earned runs on eight hits and one walk through 6.1 innings.  Al Mamaux finishes out the game with 2.1 innings of no-hit scoreless ball for his third save of the season.  Cadore improves to 10-11 with a 2.53 ERA.  Hi Myers (.311, 57 RBI), Zack Wheat (.309, 49 RBI), Ed Konetchy (.321, 49 RBI) continue driving the Robins offense.  Brooklyn and Cincinnati are once again tied atop the National League standings.  The New York Giants defeat the Cubs at Chicago to remain 2.0 games behind the leaders.
