Tom Hughes crushed the Brooklyn
SupcrbaS at Ebbets Field yesterday
afternoon. The Braves won by score
Of 10 l. and the 5000 fans who wit
messed the struggle are still debating
whether or not Hughes just allowed
that lonesome tally IN the cause Of
good fellowship. II might have been
that Tom was just little ironic in his
charity. for once or twice he frowned
upon the efforts OF Brooklyn TO get a
hit when a clean single would have
pushed them into the forefront Of the
fight.
Those IN the crowd who were philo-
sophical enough to look beyond the
shadow Of the defeat found some lit
tie consolation. TIE Braves yesterday
looked like a Brooklyn farm. There
were "Red" Smith and Herbert Moran
in the field and Dick Egan and Pat
Raglan sitting on the bench.
"Red" Smith was more destructive.
He not only injected many whoops into
and runs which counted heavily. His
triple IN the second inning drove one
run home, and he scored a moment
later when Marauville poled out a sin
gle. His double IN the seventh was
non-produCtive, but in the ninth he
made the circuit on an error and two
infeld outs Likewise he performed
nicely in the field. making couple OF
clever stops.
But to return 20 Tom Hughes He
was at the height Of his form. for the
day az least. and che Superbas were
wellnigh helpless Three hits singles
were torn from ms delivery, and
two Of these fell 10 the lot OF the ar
gumentative Ollie OMara. One came
in the third frame. another IN the
sixth. Joe Schultz banged one INTO
left field i'm the fifth for a base mt.
But paucity Of hits did not prevent
BROOKLYN from threatening once or
twice before IL finally got 4 run. In
the third frame Sherrod Smith drew
one Of the FIVE passes Hughes issued
and ONara got a single TO right held,
on which Smith took third base.
There were two out at the time. and
although Jake Daubort drove the ball
far afeld, Sherwood Magee was under
Il when IL dropped.
In the sixth OMara singled again
and Daubert walked The stage was
all set for a run or two, II seemed, with
two on and no one out, but Charley
Stengel hit into a double play and an
other chance went ag!immerng.
But, even as a long threatening
storm comes at last, the Superbas
broke into the run column IN the ninth.
Daubcrt drew a pass. and StenSel was
hi where IL didn't hurt much. This
was inferred from the Joyous way IN
which Casey trotted down TO first base.
Schmidt made a fine stop on Wheats
drive down the first base line, ooth

The southpaw slants OF Sherrod

Georgia, found favor with the BOSTON

He was removed when Brooklyn came
up in the eighth inning to make room
for a pinch hitter, and ia AppleIoh

Scattered through those nine innings
were any number of thrilling incidents.
Wheat and Hy Meyers made some
pretty nifty catches OF smashes to the
outfeld. Joe schultz, although he made
bad error, had several hard chances
