CARDINALS END ELEVEN-GAME SKID — UNGLAUB’S LATE DASH SECURES 2–1 WIN OVER PHILLIES

By Arthur H. Leland, Sporting Times
August 2nd, 1907

After nearly two weeks of frustration, the St. Louis Cardinals at last found victory this afternoon, edging the Philadelphia Phillies 2 to 1 before a relieved home crowd. The triumph snapped an eleven-game losing streak and brought the Cardinals’ record to 44 wins against 56 losses on the season.

The game was tightly contested from the start, with both pitchers holding firm until the decisive eighth inning. It was there that Bob Unglaub sparked the Cardinals’ long-awaited breakthrough. Leading off, Unglaub singled sharply to left, then boldly swiped second base to move into scoring position. Moments later, Ginger Beaumont delivered a crisp single between first and second, sending Unglaub racing around third to slide home ahead of the throw from right field — the run that finally sealed the win.

On the mound, Bill Dinneen was in commanding form, going the full nine innings. He limited the Phillies to six hits and three walks while allowing just one run and striking out seven. The sturdy right-hander’s season mark now stands at 12–12 with an earned run average of 2.63.

Unglaub, who provided the spark that turned the tide, said after the game, “We’ve had a rough spell, no question, but it felt good to finally get something going late. I just wanted to make something happen and give the lads a chance.”

Manager Patsy Donovan expressed both relief and pride in his club’s perseverance. “The boys have kept their heads up through this slump,” he remarked. “They’ve been battling every day, and today they got their reward. A win like this can turn things around.”

After eleven long losses, the Cardinals finally have reason to smile — and perhaps, a bit of momentum to carry into August.
