SUPERBAS TAKE HEART
AND TR0UNCE BRAVES
Honors Go to Brooklyn in First
SkirmiSh of Battle for
Fifth Place.
FIELDING OF HIGH ORDER
Allen Lasts Only Two Innings,
but Nap Rucker Comes to
Rescue and Turns Back
Visitors with Skill.

The Superbas recovered rapidly from
the Chicago invasion and with the Bos-
ton Braves knocking for admittance TO
fifth place performed in real big league
style at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon
and routed the visitors by a score of .
10 !.
The appearance OF Bill Dahlen on the
field again. after a three days suspen-
sion. was an incentive TO valorous DEEDS.
Brooklyn robbed its scholarly rivals or
many runs by fielding in superb style
Five times the Bostonians were
thwarted by double plays, which were
executed with unusual and astounding
precision. The one dual killing when
surprised the men under George StallinGs
the most came in the second inning
There were three Braves on the bags
six Foot" Myers AT the plate. and one
out Myers raped out a hard bounder
which few through the box and looked
like a hit. but Bob Fisher raced over as
the ball was steaming past second and
raked il up out Of the soil. With neat
underhand throw he tipped the ball TO
Cutshaw. who tossed il to Daubert and
retired the side
No change was noticed in Dahlen's luck
in selecting his pitcher. The first man
chosen every day this week has been
forced TO seek cover. Frank Aliens lot
Yesterday was like that Of the others
Dahlen sent him 10 the mound. but the
/ tail end Of the Boston batting list spelled
ruin for little frankie Guy Zinn. the
former New York Yankee fielder, began
the attack with clean single through
the infeld in the second inning. Whaling
followed with another safety after Smith
had flied 10 Daubert Hub Perdue. the
corpulent twirler. then sent in the Braves
sole tally with hit 10 centre field when
Allen filed the bases by winging Maran-
Vile Nap Rucker was summoned TO save
the game.
The sterling southpaw had an over
whelminG supply of stuff in his system
and kept his opponents well in hand. Not
one of the three men whom he found on
the bags could cross the plate. a double
play retired the side, and after that the
Brooklyn team was never in danger. Only
four hits were made of Rucker in the
seven and two-thirds frames that he
worked.
Stallings pinned his faith on Hub Per-
due TO bring his team on even terms with
Brooklyn. but the Superbas solved Hubs
fancy curves and found him easy. OF the
eight hits made by the home forces two
were credited to Red" Smith, VINO
raped out a home run TO the left field
fence and a single TO left. while Fisher
and Cutshaw banged the ball for triples.
Captain Daubert connected for brace OF
hits and feded in his usual high class
order.
The real feature of the game. however.
was Cutshaws great playing around Sec
ond base. George accepted thirteen
chances without single mishap. His
six assists harbored on the classic order.
The Superbas counted four times IN
their half of the opening frame. Herbie
Moran went to the initial station on
free ticket and stole second. CutshaW
flied 20 right. but Just as Perdue passed
Collins Moran tried for third and slid
there in safety He was up in moment
when Mcdonald dropped the ball and
raced for home Mcdonald threw me
sphere 10 the stands in an attempt 20
head off Moran. and Collins went to third.
The last named tailed on Wheats sacri-
fee fly to Zinn. Daubert singled and
scored when Mann allowed Smiths hit -
deep left to pass him and count for
home run.
Another tally was added in the NTH
inning. when Bob Fisher tripled to the
right field fence and counted on Otto
Miller's single to centre
