LATTER IN TIGHT PLACES

Wllbert Robinson finally discovered n
club he could beat In the Boston Braves
and made the best of his opportunities In
both parts of the inaugural bargain day
or tho season yesterday. Brooklyn won
the first contest by a score OF G to 2 and
carried Off the honors OF the closing en-
gagement by to 2.
In both cases the Dodgers came from
behind. which was all the more pleasing
to the 10000 fans who refused to stand
any bluffing on the part OF the weather.
In each battle Boston got away TO "A lead
of two runs But neither time could
Stallinss's pitchers hold Robbie's some
what patched UP team In hand
The veteran John Hummel appeared at
first base Jake Daubert Is threatened
with tonsilitis or the grip. or some kindred
malady. Casey Stengel was benched for
Riggert. the well known pinch hitter. As
a regular Riggert found that batting eye
which pinch hitting did not disclose. His
home run drive over the right wall broke
up the first game on Tyler.
II was day of southpaws Robinson
got by nicely as result OF the portside
skill of Raleigh Aitchson and Allen. Ty-
Ter and Hess. the veteran left handlers OF
the visitors, did not last the route, and
Stallings had to send right handed pitch
ers to their rescue. Tyler appeared any
thing but right Hess was much the
better of the two He was lifted In the
eighth Inning Of the afternoon game to
make room for pinch hitter.
The most pleasing feature OF Brooklyns
double triumph was the clever work OF
Allen. This young man had been very
erratic In his home games heretofore this
season. Usually he was far too wild to
be effective. But after two innings he
sides he won his own game with a triple
that drove In three runs.
Aitchison's performance stood out as
forclbly. because he was in far more
trouble than Allen. The latter held Boston
to three hits. and as he did not issue n
pass after the second inning the visiting
team never had him backed up into a
corner A number OF times Aitchison was
confronted with the possibility OF ruin
Gus pinch hi. On these occasions he
pulled himself out OF the predicaments.
In the second contest Gowdy's drive
over the riCht fence gave Boston its only
earned run. The count In the opening
inning was the result of n faulty throw
TO the plate by Cutshaw. He should have
stopped Maranville easily after fielding
Gilberts grounder. Maranville got TO
third through pass and Murray's double.
Faulty base running cost Brooklyn a
number of runs In this second game. In
the first inning Dalton was fooled by the
old blufY throw when he attempted n
double steal with Smith. Allen did the
same thing after he broke up the game In
! the sixth Cutshaw and Riggert got on
with none out In the second. Miller
