Marty OToole's successful debut with
che Giants at Ebbets Field yesterday at
ternoon formed an excellent object lesson
OF tho influence OF environment upon
character. The spltban manipulation dis
carded by the Pirates had a rather inter-
estins argument with Ed Ruelbach and
Southpsw Allen. but won his point by
4 to g. When he wore the smoky gray
OF the Corsalrs this overly advertised
athlete combined just about everything
that was undesirable in the makeup of a
winning pitcher. II his worK OF yester-
day u to furnish true line OToole has
left in Smoketown all OF his badness and
brought to the harassed leaders a great
deal OF very promising good
Messrs. Quigley and Eason, two sorely
tried and erring umpires. were made the
receiving end OF side salles In which
practically every man In uniform took
vociferous and wildly gesticulating part.
Messrs. Quigley and Eason finally became
80 exasperated with the harshness of their
critics that they exiled divers Dodgers
from the fray. Egan got the penalty
when he lost a claim Of out against Larry
Doyle at a critical time in the sixth with
the score still tied. Daubert was chased
in the following inning. The next round
saw the sad departure OF the rotund Will
/, bert Robinson himself.
EEan and Robinson both seemed justi-
fed in strenuous remonstrance Doyle
went to third on a long fly which Wheat
handled beautifully. Zachs perfect throw
was late, but Larry went into Getz' s.
bag standing up. Egan, who took the
throw. tagged the New York captain
in foul territory. Qugley claimed the
runner had been pushed of by Egan.
Whether or not that was so. Doyle left
the decision open to argument by failing
TO slide. He scored on long ny.
Doyle figured also in the stellar role
which led TO Robnson's exit. In the eighth
he was on second again when Eason
called q balk on Reulbach. From the
press box big Ed did not appear to be
on the rubber and consequently beyond
the pale of such an impost From his
new place OF vantage Doyle scored once
again on a long fly.
Daubert's arguments on the other hand
was nonsensical. with Merkle on first
