New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-05-30

One has only to look at the great
crowds hurrying home across the bridge
at the end of days work TO be con-
WINGED that the situation in Brooklyn
has been grossly exaggerated. sim
gle glance at the faces OF the passing
throng should convince an acute OBJ
server that the Brooklynite Is almost
always wholly resigned.
He is the most inotfensive person
in the world. Nobody ever heard OF
Brooklynite backing a person into
corner TO expatiate upon the climate,
crops or mineral resources Of his
borough. As a matter of fact ne never
talks about his home at all. and when
he goes out Of town he registers New
York"
1t is true that our fellow citizens
are subject TO distressing mood IN
which they brag about the Superbas,
make vague claims regarding the
prowess of Nap Rucker and Jake
Dsubert. refer 10 the Giants sighting
ly and speak familiarly concerning the
pennant and the worlds series. This
is only a passing fancy, however, and
is never encountered except in the late
spring and the early summer.
For the most part sanity and safety
are enthroned across the river No one
ever deserts his home to participate
in the night life of Brooklyn, and
there are not above dozen tango
gangsters in the whole borough.
JEFF Tesreau will substantiate al
most anything said here about Brook
Ign. He has only the kindliest feel
g. L.. L. L.. Ia. v.
game he allowed them six hits and he
permitted one runner 20 score after
the Giants had gained a four run lead.
Opposed to Tesreau was Pfeffer,
whose highest name also is JET.
Pfeffer was a most successful worker
against the Giants last season, but no
has not been able TO continue his
mastery. II is true that he faltered
only once yesterday, but before he re-
covered the Giants had scored four
times.
The attack came in the fourth, and
this was easily the best inning of 6
well-played game. Brooklyn came so
close to scoring in the first half OF tho
inning that Casey Stengel was put off
the field.
The departure Of Stengel was dis
tressing. With the cooperation Of CUT
shaw he attempted a double steal,
The score stood to 0 at the time, and
the Superbas had not yet discovered
the futilty Of trying TO defeat the
Giants. Larry Doyle, who took tho
throw from Mclean. was a little slow
in returning the ball and Stengel beat
the toss 10 the plate with long slide.
Mclean looked at Nal Eason for a
ruling. The umpire neither raised his
right thumb nor spread his hands palm
down, and all at once the realization
came to Mclean that Stengel was an
alien enemy who had not touched tho
plate.
The Brooklyn player was occupied
In brushing off the dust and did not
have a chance 10 put up his guard.
With great speed and esgerness Larry
Mclean thrust the ball, accompanied
by his right hand. squsrely into the
abdomen Of stengel
"Out" said Eason, without the for
mality Of counting up TO ten.
There was much that Stengel wanted
to say, but for the moment he could
only gasp for breath. Wilbert Robin
son rushed from the bench 70 save
his outfelder. but before he could
seize Stengel breath had returned and
with IL came articulation. Seemingly
the momentary delay had no effect on
the temper OF the outfelder and Eason
banished him.
II was base on balls which gave
the Giants their opening for a rally
in the latter half OF the inning. but it
was backed up by clean hitting. Dovle,
the first man up. walked. Lobere
lifted an infeld Az. but Fletcher
=. ~ 80
and DOYLE reached second. Dayey Rob-
ertson bounced single directly over
second base and Doyle scored, while
Fletcher paused on second.
Merkle found an opening in right
and drove a hit 10 the wall just inside
the foul line. Fletcher scored on this
hit and Robertson, who might have fol-
lowed him home. went no further than
third Larry Mclean pushed a sacrifice
Az 20 Meyers The outfelder's throw
was good one, but McCa,ty dropped
the ball when Robertson crashed
against him. Merkle took third when
The ball rolled sway from the catcher.
Wheat muffed Murrav's high Az and
Merkle came home with the fourth run.
Brooklyn scored ia lone run in the
sixth inning, when Dauber. tripled 10
deep centre and came home while
Fletcher was throwing out Myers Tho
Giants added one more tally 10 their
total in the eighth. PfefFer had retired
for pinch hitter in this inning, and
il was Appleton who yielded the run.
Singles By DOYLE ard Lobert and
Fletcher's sacrifice fly TO right brought
Dovle across the plate.
Brooklyn made two Of it's six hits in
the ninth. but could not get runner
past second.
Murray and Zimmerman both made
noteworthy catches. Reliable Red
went TO deep centre for a long smash
from Daubert's bat in the third in
ming. and Zimmerman took a long liner
of Robertson's with one hand in tho
sixth
