Three Scattered Hits.

ins while they checked the rush OF the
BOSTON Braves at Ebbets Field yester-
dav afternoon. Three errors OF COM
mission grouped gracefully around two
hits in the second inning PROVIDED
Rrooklvn with four runs. while another
error. this one Of omission. resulted IN
another tally in the seventh, and made
the victory more certain.
The errors, while they scared the soul
Of George Stallings, made for e FIAT
bush holiday. Played to close on
merit. Boston might have won by
,rors Of Q 10 1. In baseball, however
there Is no room for the might-nave-
been. and the final score was to IN
favor Of Brooklyn.
To err il human, and after all walter
Maranvills, wonder workman that ne ID
is only Of the flesh. II was his hectic
throw Of q grounder by Hi Myers which
started the Robins out on the victory
trail When Meanwhile failed 1t was
not surprising that Dick Egan and Fred
Snodgrass collaborated In turning in
one Of the most grewsome double errors
that has been seen in many day.
From a Brooklyn standpoint, 1t was a
happy circumstance, for it resulted IN
three runs when a simple double play
was in prospect
Break in Game.
The luck of the game and the defence
Of the Braves broke in the second IN
ming. Myers slashed one down TO short
stop. and when Meanwhile picked the
ball up in faultless style. the fans held
out no hope. But Meanwhile tried his
mirhtiest TO hit rooter who sat near
the Brooklyn bench directing the game
MYERS was safe on the over throw,
and he went to second when Ivy Olson
singled off Maranville's glove, and
scored on Miller's rap to left. Olson
took second on this last hit, but was
forced at third by Larry Cheney.
Jimmie Johnston rolled an easy
grounder to Dick Egan who made
horrible mess Of it. and the ball rolled
10 centre. where Fred Snodgrass await
ed it. The ball never even recognized
Snodgrass, and hopping through his
legs. continued on 70 the fence. Miller,
Cheney and Johnston scored.
In a game played out on the West
ern circuit this summer a prize OF 80
was offered for every man scoring:
One player worked around to third
base. and then tailed on wild pitch.
After the game he gave the pitcher
$3.50. Following the same line OF
reasoning, Otto Miller should divide
the box of sox he will receive with
Sherrie Magee In the seventh inning
Miller cracked the ball into left field
and managed TO lumber around the
paths while the Boston man gave pur,-
suit 10 the rolling leather Played
properly the drive should have been
good for no more than two bases.
Tyler Victim.
George Tyler, the left handler, was
the innocent victim of all this loose
iointed defence. The half dozen hits
he allowed resulted in only one earned
run. and this was Miller's circuit
cincher, which, as explained previously,
might have been averted. Tyler had
one satisfaction, however. He took
whole heaps of JOY out Of Buck
Wheat's life, tanning him twice, max
ing him force a runner once ard roll
weakly TO Konetchy another time.
Hard work only improves the good
right arm of Larry Cheney, IL would
seem. He returned to the box and
pitched a Characteristic game. Liberal
10 a fault with his bases on balls, he
sternly checked the hitting of the
Braves. Just three of the Back Bay
tribe cut into his offerings for safe
hits, and so cunning was his pitching
that few difficult chances were offered
to the Brooklyn feeders.
Ivan Olson made play in the fourth
which bordered closely upon the SEN
sational. He raced back into short
left and took Tyler's twisting fly over
his shoulder In the first frame Fred
Snodgrass hit fast ball back through
the box that bounded off Larry's right
wrist. raising a big lump. Mike Now
rey turned the play into an out at
first, and thereafter Cheney famed
Snodgrass three times.
For all that Meanwhile contributed
the error which started the Robins on
the right track, he made several stylish
stops and throws. He robbed Mike
Mowrey of a possible double in the
fourth inning, making a one-handed
grab, and he took a hit right out OF
McCarty's average with another won
derful stop. The game closed in a
blaze of Brooklyn glory, for Olson
made fine plays on Egan and TRACES
ser and Cutshaw made fine catch
of Tyler's liner.
Boston got it's first run in the open
ing inning when Maranville sent a
home run TO left field. The Braves
tailed another in the fifth. Maran-
willie walked, but was forced by Will
holt, who took second when Magee
walked. Konetchy made the third and
last Boston hit, scoring Wilhoh.
