The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-07-02

For the second time in two days the
Dodgers gave the Giants a sound drub-
bring at Ebbets Field yesterday after
noon. Victory was accomplished much
after the Same fashion on both &C.
caslons. But, whereas. Rube Narquard
was allowed to proceed seven innings
before the trap was sprung. JEFF Tes-
reau's doom was sealed In the third. A
rally plucked five runs off the Ozark
giant III this frame. Three more were
added in the next three innings at the
expense OF Schauer. Ferd Schupp gave
the last in the seventh, so that the final
score was nine for Brooklyn and only
two for New York.
The once valiant Nap Rucker. who for
two years has rocked upon his pedestal.
never found "A softer spot for his dinky
curve and his slow bail. After the third
inning he was always on Easy Street.
His teammates. apparently hooked up to
their 1914 batting gait. tore through
Tesreau and Schauer so steadily that
home pitching soon became a matter Of
\ formality only.
J. The question of whether Rucker is
back remains for future decision. Any
sort OF pitching would have beaten the
Giants once they were put on the run.
Fuckers game may be considered good
because OF the fact that he allowed only
two runs in face Of an overwhelming
score. Yet at the same time il must be
remembered that he yielded eleven hits.
II may be argued that he eased up with
q favorable lead. Yet he was hit as
hard at the start as at the finish.
New York lacked the punch when IL
was needed most. An average wallop
might have settled Rucker before he got
a strange hold on the game. In each
Of the first three innings opportunities
galore raped at the door. Snodgrass
opened the game with a clean hit TO
right. Burns popped out trying 10 sac
rifce, but Doyle came through with a
clean single to centre that set Snod-
grass upon third. Doyle beat O'Mara
to second when the latter attempted an
unassisted force play on Fletcher's
grounder. This allowed S~nodgrass to
score and left runners on second and
FIRST with only one out. But the punch
was missing in this pinch. Robertson's
d weak dribble allowed Getz unassisted To
kforce Doyle at third Merkle forced
Robertson.
Almost as good an opportunity was
lost in the second when Lobert walked
and Meyers singled witt none out. Mil
Ter made an excellent play on Tesreau's
bunt and forced Lobert at third. Snod-
grass was doubled with Tesreau when
Fred's cAarleyhorse threw him on the
way to first. Burns double to start the
third. Doyle beat a bun to Rucker.
But when Daubert muffed the throw
Burns foolishly tried to score, though

ball. Thus another chance was laid on
the altar. .
