Finishes Game.

Frank Chances New Works triunphed
over the cold and Robinson's Dodgers at
Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon and by
winning the second game of the ante
season marlborough series. 6 to 1. squared
the tournament at one all. From start
to finish New York outpiayed Brooklyn
almost by as great margin as the tally
indicates.
Brooklyn. though whipped fought
gamely to the bitter end. but only with
the courage of despair. The defence Of
the vanquished was besuteous to behold
But Chances two pitching selections. Ray
Caldwell and King Cole. were proving
conclusively throughout the chill afternoon
the argument of the Peerless Leader that
pitching is so per cent of a clubs strength.
Before the terrific speed and sharp break
ing curves of the reliable Slim and the
grim King the celebrated attack of the
Dodgers crumbled fell back and shuffied
away into absolute futility.
1t was easy to pick the winner after
the first inning. Three runs. snatched OF
Elmer Brown before he had fairly started,
gave Chances men an irresistible conn.,
dence. This was reflected everywhere
from the rife pit to the Interior intrench-
battle Scared veteran crouched on the
coaching lines and hurting defiance at his
foes throughout the volleying.
The work of Caldwell and Cole was
something OF which TO be proud. Neither
was extended. save In one or two isolated
cases. Either might have gone the entire
route Judging from the strong manner
IN which he finished. save for risk OF
injury from the Indictment weather. 1t
was from Caldwell that Brooklyn got its
only run, and that never would have
happened but for Hartzelrs boot. that
followed on the heels of fluke triple.
Only one man reached second base In the
four innings Cole toiled. This was Smith.
who stole with two out In the ninth.
No attention was paid to his plfering. for
the door already had been barred too
tightly against assault.
Commander Chance carried Ithe Brook
Ign redoubt mainly through The courage
OF his Old Guard. but there were two
new faces In the battle array. Doc Cook
began at left field. lie had replaced Gill
hooley. whose throwing In the opening
game made no great hit with his COM
mander Bill Holden. the deadly Judge
of fly balls. pulled up lame after running
out grounder in the first inning. This
gave Lester Channel an opportunity to
debut at left. the namesake of the north
ern explorer shifting To centre garden.
The Ty Cobb of the Western League did
absolutely nothing but strike out and go
10 bat twice more. Cook converted "a
double into a run, made three nice catches
and behaved throughout after the fashion
OF u noble pastmer.
Elmer Brown In the south had won a
fair reputation with the team that chewed
up Old Fox Griffith's Senators But he
found a tartar In the New Works. They
slugsed him fore and aft, hip and thigh.
The top of the order started it In the
hA fa.l mi All,
fourth. when little Elmer took his glove
and moved sadly to the clubhouse.
Brown was triile unsteady through
out. He gummed the cards by starting
with a pass To Maisel Fritz stole the
midway and Hartzell singled him home.
Roy scored from second on Walshs long
safety to left centre. With two gone

eddy would have meant the circuit on A
Easter field. Sweeneys long ny gave the
NTH run. In both Of his other innings
the second and third, Brown passed the
first man. Hartzell was caught mapping
for the first out of the third. Peckin-
paugh pilfered in the second after
Sweeney fouled and Caldwell popped.
Maisel's best was an easy chance for
Cutshaw.
Caldwell's wild pitch. following Dau-
berts infield hit. put Jake on third with
one out in the first. Caldwell frightened

almost single handed In the opening game
and tossed out Cutshaw. slim pulled
out OF tight hole in the third only to
see Hartzell spill the beans. Fischer
lined against the right fence to begin this
frame and got all the way to third when
the ball bounded back past Channel al
most to the inield. Caldwell made a
fipe stop OF Browns wicked Jolt and
Turned back Fischer at the plate. While
Sweeney and Maisel were discriminating
this fellow the Brooklyn pitcher reached
the midway. Here Hartzell kicked Dial
toms roller. As the latter was being
forced by Daubert Brown saved the Dodg-
ers from a shutout.

succeeded but Bob Emslic was looking
up the chimney. Walsh. who singled with
two down in the nth and Peckinpaugh
who walked to start the sixth, both were
nailed stealing as the hit and run play
failed.
Hartzell forced Masel. who singled in
the eighth. Williams hit the run in
after Roy advanced on an out. Hartzell
fumbled on Dauhert, the first man to
face Cole, but this gave Sweeney a fine
opportunity to show the cunning OF his
arm. With three and two on the deadly
