Refusal to Soil His Trousers by Sliding Ends Last
Chance of Dodgers to Tie Reds, and
Score Stays 3 to 2.

Jake Daubert's spotless pants stood
out in bold relief against the agony of
that crucial finish like the plume Of
Henry Of Navarro. And like Henry's
crest they came out Of the melee spot

who can sport in spotless white.
Jake is the captain of the Dodgers
and should have known far better. In
the palm OF his hand rested one OF
Brooklyn's very best chances TO retrieve
a sorry beginning. Brooklyn had fought
strong heartedly to retrieve "a sorry
start. SO that the pastime swung down
into its half OF the eighth inning with
the score only 3 to . In favor OF the
Ecdlegs.

to start hat eighth. Schneider. the
third pitcher for Herzog, tempted the
| mighty Zach Wheat to bite at his first
pitch. Zach connected solidly. but the
ball travelled on "A line to Williams,
who made a smart catch. The heavicst
gun of the Dodgers silenced. Capt. Jake
decided upon strategy. The hit and run
was ordered. Daubert got the break on

bad. Daube waited for Wagner To pull
1t out Of the air and then ran right into
the ball.
There Is little doubt that IL Daubert
had hit the dirt. Brooklyn at least
would have tied the score in that eighth
inning. After Jake was eNpunged for
the second out Cutshaw lined to Griffith
