Naif Andrews Is (Jood Until That Kilitli Round. Home-Run Swats By Bert Haas And Miller Go For Naught-Score Is 3 To 2. BY LOW SMITH. Hard Luck Nate Andrews's de fense cracked up on him again yesterday at Crosley Field, and the rollicking Cardinals nudged over two tainted runs In the eighth In ning to beat the Reds, 3-2, before 8,598 cash customers, who were forced to seek shelter in the Red-leg half of the ninth, when a heavy downpour halted hostiltlrs for 25 minutes. The defeat dropped the Reds Into last place.

The victory was the sixth in a row for the pennant-bound Red Hirds, and their second straight over Deacon Willie McKechnle's iitterv athletes. Andrews, thanks to a couple of' mammoth pokes over tho center-field fence by Hert Haas and Eddie Miller, sailed through the first seven heatj like a champion. During this time the rolypoly righthander, with the devastating curve and fine control, allowed but four hits and one run. HAAS DOES WELL. Meanwhile, our boys, led by Haas, who looks like he is going to have a big year with the stick, got to Ted Wllks and Ken Burkhart for five, two of them good for the distance.

But things started happening fast and furiously to Fat Nate In the eighth. Marty Marion opened with a single and Del Rice, after falling In his effort to sacrifice, drilled a single to left. Max West, who fanned four straight times, handled the ball like it was hot, and before he succeeded in picking it up, Marion scooted 'round to third with the tying run. Buster Adams batted for Burk- Ihart at this point, and slushed a grounder to Grady Hatton. The young third-aneker forced Mulon back to the hot corner berore making his long throw across the Infield to retire Adams.

Meantime, Jeff Cross, who ran for Rice, took second. BRATS OtT SI NO US. Lou Klein followed by beating out a single to Grady, on which Marlon scored with the tying run. Cross held second, but skipped to third when Bobby Adams fumbled Red Schoendlenst's grounder, and scored a few seconds later after Daln Clay parked under titan Mu-slal's long drlvs. Charley (Red) Barrett, the fun-loving right-hander, who once wore a Redlef monkey suit, hurled the final two rounds for the Red Birds 4 our boys down Id order, The Cardinals scored their first marker In the fourth oerora a man was retired.

Schoendienst, who Is good enough to make a benoh Jockey cut of Whltey Kurowskl, tha club's homo-run king last seasuu lashed a double Into the left-field corner, and raoed home on Muslal's single to right. Outside of the two home run drives, our Reds weren't able to do much with the right-handed offerings of Wilks, Burkhart and Unr-rett, who act nine of the Reds down on sti kes nnd permitted only one ninn to teach third nfin the fourth.
