DODGERS SWAMP
PHILADELP HANS
Worlds Champions Never Had
a Chance With RObinsOn's
Brooklyn Team.
FINAL SCORE WAS 1874

in the National League for which it
should feel no shame was again
forcibly demonstrated yesterday aft
ernoon at Wiedenmayer' Park The
Dodgers came over here from Phila-
delphia with Connie Mack's Ameri-
can Leaguers to show the local fans
a little major league baseball. Ii was
fine exhibition in spite of the one
sided score Is to 4. with Brooklyn ON
the high, end. The Athletics did not
like the beating they got by any
means-everybody likes 10 win. even
in an exhibition game, and Eddie Col
Inns. on two or three occasions, took
long chances in stretching base hits
into doubles.
The Brooklyn team has met the
worlds champions twice this season
and twice have the MaelSmen been
trounced. First the Dodgers dumped
the Maekmen into the dirt at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn, just before the major
league curtain rose. Yesterdays
battle was fought on neutral grounds
and again the Dodgers pinned the
Mackmen's shoulders to the mat.
Now all that Charley Ebbets needs TO
do is to get an exhibition game with
the Athletics and beat them on their
own grounds at Shibe Park.
Visions oil Worlds series.
The Maekmen may not have a con-
venient open date. but genius creates
opportunities and il may be that
Brooklyn may create its own oppor-
tunity by getting into a worlds series
with the blue ribbon winners. The
Brooklyn team looks mighty good.
Gilbert Robinson is playing sane
baseball and the material he has
handed to him is working its head
Off 10 show its appreciation for
leader who is popular with the play
ers.
Scout Larry Sutton had one of the
bappiest days of his life yesterday
afternoon when he sat back in
grand stand chair and watched his
pickups mauling the Athletics all over
the diamond Every man i'll the
Brooklyn lineup that started the
game was discovered and delivered
to the Brooklyn club by the Brook
Ign gumshoe expert.
The man who discovers a player
and brings him out seldom gets the
credit which is due him a very strik-
ing case being that of last season
Sutton's finds practically made the
Newark team a championship or
ganization last year. OF course, Man
ager smith got the work out OF them,
but it was Sutton that put the team
chief adviser
Brooklyn Gets the Jump.
The Brooklyn team had two runs 10
jts credit at the end OF the first |
inning, and the Mackmen never did |
overcome this advantage. Daubert /
walked and Wheat singled with two /
out. and then Smith doubled over !
oldring's head scoring both runners. |
Houek, who pitched for the Athletics, ]
was banged for sixteen hits and !
issued four passes, besides hitting
man. Allen, lefthander, recon-
mended by sutton, was next to in
yineible Not satisfied with limiting
the larruping Mackites TO one run in
seven innings, he stepped up and
slammed out a home run over the
low fence in left with two on the |
paths.
Newark fans saw many Dodger |
players whom Charley Ebbets can |
send over here most any time he |
wants to get rid of them. Daubert !
started the game at first base and /
Hummell finished it. John mad a |
clean hit and run. This big fellow
surely can slough the pill, as they |
say in the Vernacular.
The eighth inning was the bigges, |
round of the whole game. The Ath' |
letics got three runs in their hale !
and Brooklyn came back with seven /
TALES. Brown relieved Allen in this |
round and was wild. This fellow |
looks like a wonderful twirler, but he |
turned his ankle this spring, and has
not worked often enough to get |
proper central. He got in bad through
a tumble by Cutshaw and then lost
control walked three men in a row
and forced in a run.
Robinson wanted to win the game,
SO he sent in Wagner to pitch. He
held the champions down in dnu
style.
What the Dodgers did to Houck in
the eighth was a shame. Seven runs
were scored on seven hits and u rank
peg by Baker O'Mara and Etwin
each had two hits in this round. and
Jack Dalton came up with the bases
packed and singled, driving in two
tailies.
It was Dalton's only safety, but It
came at the right time.
The score of the game:
