Brooklyn evcned the series with the
New York Americans by winning y ster-
days game at Ebbets Field by the close
score of 5 to T. 1t was a baseball battle
all the way. ono Of those games where the
score s.esawed back and forth and which
was in doubt until the very last man had
been retired
Neither club looked so good In this
fourth engagement as in any OF the pre-
ceding exhibitions despite the fact that 1t
was the first real baseball weather that
had been experienced since the return
home But the faults of the rivals de-
veoped In such a manner "a TO add ex-
element rather than to dotract from the
= game. And on several occasions both
clubs arose to such heights of brilliancv
as to redeem whatever mistakes cropped
out.
Marty McHale. the Irish Thrush. like
Reulbach went the full route He finished
stronger than he opened, In line with
Chances contention that any one of half
a dozen tossers is ready to go the distance
with Connie Mack's world champions.
McIIale pitched slightly better bail than
Reulbach. His fast ball was especially
effective and mixed cunnlngly with "A good
hook and an occasional splitter.
The pitching of McHale and Rculbach
was so even. however. that a drawn YER
dict would do justice TO both. The Chance
nlen hit Big Ed trihe harder than the
Dodgers found Marty. OF the eight blows
on Reulbach two were triples and one "A
double. McHale allowed only seven safe
ties. The only extra base soaks were
three doubles. Two OF these which gracs
Daubefts average were extremely fiuky.

honors. The fans of either end of the
bridge were stu debating the merits OF
these two VIII. n the last man went out.
Maisel furnished the most spectacular play
Of the afternoon by doubling up Miller
at the plate after making n brilliant catch
of Cutshaw's foul right up against the
concrete. The midget was overbalanc d
after making his clutch and there APP
peared absolutely no poss bility OF an ac-
curate throw home. Miller of course is
not Bruokyn's speediest runner. but he
worked his md of the play perfectly and
still was out by two yards at his goal.
Each side got run in the opening
inning New York on Maisel's single and
steal, combined with Boone's sacrifice and
Wa.sh's nfield out. and Brooklyn on
Daubcrt's scratch double and Wheats
questionable single through Boone. Both
these bows came with two out. Mil r
doubled in the third and got home through
Reu.bach's sacrifice and Dalton's long fly
to Channel.
New York took the lead by scoring
