Dodgers Beat Cubs

Brooklyn, August 24-Today's game with Chicago had sensational finish, Erwin winning it for Brooklyn in the tenth with drive over the fence. Men were on first and second at the time and as only two runs were needed Err win was credited with only triple. The hit otherwise would have counted as home run. The locals took an early lead but Doyles triple in the seventh sent Chicago ahead, The Cubs third baseman got another triple in the ninth that again put his club in front. In the tenth his single and Wheats error placed Chicago ahead again. Brooklyn scored the winning run, how ever, on Erwin's drive. Brown went to Reulbachs rescue in the ninth and was found for three safe hits in the tenth. Scanlon proved good relief for R11r The

It is generally understood, how ever that no convictions will follow, as other well known public regulations are openly preached daily without pos sibility of conviction of those so doing. The local grand jury, as is well known, is decidedly liberal in its complexion. Sunday ball so far has drawn an aver age of 5000 people.
 Manager William Schwartz. of the local baseball team. has returned from Cincinnati, where he went in company with President Hirsig' and Manager Charlie Frank of New Orleans in the effort to see what could be done before the National commission in the way of sidestepping the draft proposition and saving the local manager for this team next season.
