John McGraw's Giants made another
Roman holiday for Uncle Wilbert Robin
sons Dodgers at Ebbets Field yesterday
afternoon. brooklyn won by a score OF

the bargain. while New York was lucky
to score at all. And that IL just about

s.ntatives of the Greater City as dem
Brooklyn and New York nave met
sixteen times this season and Brooklyn
has carried OF ten victories. Few OF

McGraw's legion has been bothered by
mediocre pitching all season. Ralph
stroud has been one OF Macs most con-
sistent performers. but his best game
wouldn't have gone very far against
Jeff Pfefer yesterday. But for O'Mara's
error in the ninth rfeffer would have
iung up II rather easy shutout. Had he
been pressed he might have held New
York runless In spite of O'Mara's bobble.
He had a leeway OF i've tallies at the
time and there was no occasion for him
to extend himself.
The Dodgers didn't play their best
