Four More Tallies.
DONOvAN'S MEN ERRATIC

Bill Donovan's chief regret after an
afternoon at Ebbets Field IL that his
New York club is in the wrong major
league Bits boys cleaned up on the
DODGERS yesterday afternoon by "A score

one knows from the interview of c. H.
Ebbets upon his return from Daytona--

National circuit.
Donovan's triumph yesterday was not

thing else again for any team behind
Ray Caldwell to toss OFF four run
lead In a twinkling. That is Just what
the good captain had to suffer.
In the second inning-but in the
second inning only--the Yankees played
strictly up to form of other years when
they were the footstool OF Ban John

however. because the Dodgers went all
the way after the fashion of the Dodgers
past and present. Uncle Wilbert Robin

but when Jeff wasn't splitting the beans

friends presented Donovan with a floral

his arm somehow. HIS curve didn't
respond and he was in the hole TO
the batters with far more frequency

the first inning by the skin OF his teeth
leaving three Dodgers stranded. Two
bases on balls and clean hit by
