Dodgers Rout Cards, 1 4—8; Musial Clouts Two Homers BROOKLYN, N. Y., May 13 UP.— Preacher Roe couldnt hold a six run lead but neither could six St. Louis pitchers hold Brooklyns bombarding Dodgers as they climbed all over the Cardinals for a lopsided 14 to 8 triumph today. Big Ben Wade, who pitched his first major league victory and walloped his initial big league home run, emerged as the hero after rescuing the faltering Roe in the fourth. Roe, aiming for his foutrh straight victory, hurled three scoreless innings while Brooklyn bolted to a 6-0 advantage. But he was shelled from the mound when the Cardinals came within two runs of tying the game in the fourth. Brooklyn began its barrage with two runs in the second and continued their assault with four more runs in the next frame, routing starter Joe Presko and his successor, Rookie Willard Schmidt. Although the Cardinals retaliated with four runs of their own in the fourth, the Dodgers putxthe game beyond the Red-birds reach with four more runs in the fifth. Wade, Hodges and Miggins homered for the Dodgers and Musial hit a pair for the Cardinals. Score by innings: ST. LOUIS 000 400 202 — 8—13—1 BROOKLYN 024 041 03x— 14— 14— 1 Presko,.
