BRAVES PLAY ONE GAME
ACROSS BRIDGE TODAY

Brooklyn finished It's slaughter OF the
Western innocents by taking the last
game of the series from the Cardinals
at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon In
the rather hollow fashion OF 10 to y.
To-day the Dodgers will entertain the
Braves In n game which IL set for . 40

and Robinson's men To depart westward
to keep to-morrow's dates. Brookiyn's
last trip toward the land of tho setting
sun developed early into a disastrous
rout. " the team can make amends for
this on the approaching tour Brooklyn
should he in an excellent position to
carry its winning spurt pretty close
to a pennant.
Yesterday game was one OF the
least interesting seen since tho return
OF Brooklyn from it's sorry Western trip.
The usual spirit was lacking. Even
the fact that the home team won so
easily did not fully clear the heavy
atmosphere. 1t was just eight and one
half plain innings Of routine play. The
Cardinals didn's have much chance to
enthuse. Victory came Brooklyn's way

Miller Huggins made things interest
Ing enough for the scorers. He might
have been a little meaner had he tried
because four of his players failed to
break into the box score. But he did
passing well as IL was. No less than
sixteen OF his hands were thrust into
the fracas. Pitching was one OF little
Miller's chief worries of the afternoon.

He would have been foolish to strain
himself. but had he been less wild his
