Ebbets's Men Capture the
Odd Game in Series by
a Shut-Out.
COLES TANGO STEPS
NO LONGER PUZZLE
In Absence of Giants Winners
Earn Title of Acting Cham
pions" of New York.

BROOKLYN is champion. Robnson's Su-
perbas won the title yesterday by de-
feating the Yankees to in the deciding
game OF the spring series. The only
drawback 10 the victory was the fact
that no one was quite certain as 70 the
nature Of the championship involved.
A lrveyor. a detective and an expert
accountant have been put on the trail
and report is expected within Few
DAYS. In the absence of the Giants and
the Tip Tops it is probable that the Su-
perbas will be hailed as Acting Cham
pions of Greater New York"
For the first time since their arrival
At home Wilbert Robinson's men lived
up TO their hitting reputation. Reuloach
and Ragan. on the other hand, held the
Yankees 10 three hits.
Dick Egan. the globe trotter. did a
great deal Of travelling during the after
noon. He ranged all the way from sec
ond 10 third and out into short left field
in the pursuit of flies and grounders.
Ills iourneyings were successful in the
extreme. for he accepted seven chances
without all error.
King Cole started the game for the
Yankees and began with a rush. He
tripped in the second inning and before
he could get back in his stride Brooklyn
had scored three times.
According 10 the poet. King Cole was
frequently wont to call for his fiddlers
three. He could have used them TO adj
vantage yesterday. No tango teacher in
New York can show anything more cap
tivatins than the kings fake foot move
ment when there is runner on base.
Brooklyn players who were so badly
fooled by Cole the first time he faced
them in the series complained to Wilbert
Robinson that they could not watch the
ball because they were so interested III
the fancy steps which the pitcher was
c, stsntly introducing into his delivery.
Yesterday the feet Of Cole performed no
new evolutions and therefore lost their
hypnoti, power.
Wheat gave hint Of what was to come
at the beginning Of the second inning.
when lie hit bill over the right field
fence which was foul by only a few feet.
Ills second effort was a grounder to
williams. but then the heavy artillery
rumbled into battle
cole drew back his arms as if he were
about 10 shoot the ball across the plate
~ a mile a minute pace. Instead he
strved up a foater. Smith smashed It
into centre field Stengel hit a double
against the right field wall, but Smith
vas held at third Dick Egan, who was
proficient at bat as well as in the field,
drove a hit to LEFT and Smith came home.
Fischer hit a long single TO left centre.
Il would have been good for extra bases,
but Holden made the prettiest play OF
tho game when ne stopped the drive with
a backhand clutch. Stengel scored on the
hit and Egan reached third in spite Of
Holdens good throw 10 head him of.
Fischer went 10 second on the throw in.
Reulbach hit 10 Hartzell and Egan was
ont 81 the plate, Fischer moving up 10
third Sweeney, who threw well for the
rest Of the afternoon, slipped up when a
double steal was attempted and his high
peg 70 Hartzell enabled Fischer 10 score
On a double steal.
The Yankees only display OF offensive
strength came in the third inning, wnen
Peckinpsugh and Cole singled, but no
good came OF their efforts. After his or
lapse from grace Cole pitched effectively
and got Ave men Oh strikes. His curves
broke well. but his fast bali did not have

Fisher came in TO pitch for New York
in the sixth, and regretted Il almost from
the start. Daubert began by getting a
base on balls. and Wheat at once brought
in IN out Of the cold by hitting the ball
e.er so far out In deep left centre. Wheat
wss at third when the ball came back.
