Two games were played with the Brooklyns
Yesterday afternoon and the odd thing about
them 10 that both were shut-outs and each side
took game. Abbey was in the box for the
home team. He Il about exploded as a phe-
nomenon. 1t is to be hoped that the home
management has about got through expert

plate. In the ninth Robinson, Dowd and Lar

Corcoran. the nimble short of the visitors,

only questionable decision against the home
team, deciding Larkin out on McGuires hit to
Hart and ielded to second.
Altogether it was a sharp. quickly played
game. Astounding in good work. 1t put Brook
