Brooklyns heavy artillery battered
down a couple OF Philadelphia redoubts
in double engagement at Ebbets Field
afternoon. and as a result Will
bert Robinsons brigade was able to make
a successful sortie out OF seventh place.
The Dodgers. who have crcumvented the
enemy at every turn during the last two
weeks, are now pressing the Phillies so
closely for ffth position that only a frsc-
tlonal game separates the two. Old fash
ioned smuggling was directly responsible
for yesterdays uplift. The scores were
to and ~ 10 3 respectively
Robinson was aided and abetted in his
concluding triumph by the deadly sharp
shooting Of green recruit, Third Base
man Getz. promoted over night from his
probationary station with the Newark In
dians. In the avalanche that brushed the
Indian lineup and Southpaw Baumgard-
ner from the path in the farewell to
Rrooklyns faithful this young gentleman
displayed so much class at the near cor
ner as TO make every one forget there
ever was such an athlete as Red Smith.
Getz went to bat four times in this en-
counter twice against Tincup and Baum

double and n single of the white port
slider, Getz drove In two runs and scored
as many himself. Besides he played a
mans sized game In the field.
Getz seemed to catch the spirit of his
new associates who started out on a wild
rampage in the Introductory controversy
The fair name of Alexander the Great
spelled no terror to the champion slug
gers OF the Tener circuit. Everybody
but Egan and Getz waded into this H.
lustrious star OF Doom for blow or
more.
They rolled up fifteen safe knocks for
total of twenty four bases. This was
pretty soft for Patsy Ragan, who allowed
an even dozen blows himself, but who
was able 10 romp home on the chin strap
at the end.
Both Egan and Getz made up for pre-
vious offensive faults in the last game.
Egan had three hits in four trials He
scored a run and drove in two others.
The hrs, game was more or less of a
gamble on both sides Neither Robinson
nor Doom dared to take chances Of with
drawing his first entry. the opposing
pitcher seemed so uncertain and unsteady.
