Erratic Throw by Olson
and Wild Pitch by Smith
Bring Defeat.
By FRANK O'NEILL.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. A.-Tne
Brooklyn Robins took one perfectly
good ball game and presented it to
the Cincinnati Reds at Redland Field
here this afternoon. One might ina
CINE the team has taken up the busi-
ness of losing games with malice to-
ward none and charity for all rivals.
The score was to /.
The defeat this afternoon came as
a sorry climax to a brilliant pitching
duel between RUDE Vanguard and
Fred Toney, and robbed the contest Of
its rightful thrill.
ringing hit for two bases by
Smoky Hobbs in the sixth frame and
Ivan Olsons erratic throw gave the
Reds their first run. A mixup on an
ordinarily simple play which Mike
Mowrey, that veteran of dozen cam
paigns, should have solved without
difficulty, put AL Neale on third, in
the ninth, and Sherrod Smith, who re-
placed Marquard, forthwith proceeded
to cut loose a Wild pitch that allowed
the winning run to patter over the
plate.
Stengers Hard Try.
The Reds broke through Marquard's
defence in the sixth inning Hobbs
hit a looping fly to right field which
Casey Stengel just managed to touch
after a hard run and the batter got
to second base. Chief Meyers tried
once to pick him off and failed by
inches.
Hobbs again wandered off, and once
more the Chief threw down, but this
time Hobbs lit out for third, crossing
the play up delightfully."-. He kept
right on running for home, too. for
Ivy Olson in throwing to third, hit
him on the shoulder, the ball bounding
far away.
In the ninth events developed with
startling rapidity. Sherrod Smith S
first official act after replacing Mar
guard was to hit Neale with the ball.
Bill McKechnie laid down a bunt that
was placed cunningly right where
Smith, McCarty and Cutshaw could not
make a play on it, and Neale went to
second. Right here Mike Mowrey
stepped into the limelight.
Roush tapped bunt along the third
base line. and Mowrey, who should
have covered third base. with runners
on second and first, dashed madly in
on the ball Chief Meyers picked the
ball up and threw to owrey, who was
six feet in from the bag. and, Of
course, all hands were safe. Smith
then made a wild pich and Neale
scored the winning run.
The Robins had a chance to win the
game, or at least TO score a couple of
runs, in the ninth inning, but a most
distressing crossing Of signals on the
bases wiped it out.
O'Mara, hitting in place of RUDE Mar
guard, drew a pass, one of three gifts
Toney made. Hi Myers tapped a single
over second base and O'Mara reached
third by a great burst of speed and a
furious slide. Myers moved to second
on the throw. Stengel grounded to
Hobbs, who got the runner at first,
OMara took a couple of steps toward
the plate and then retreated to third
base.
Surprise for Robbie.
Myers, to the CONSERVATION of Rob-
bic and the others, dashed down to
third base, forcing 0'Mara off. Chase
at once whipped the ball to McRechnie
and O'Mara was run down. Myers

Wild Bill Smiles.

Wild Bill Donovan, the Red Avenger
of Coogan's Bluff, smiled sardonlcaily'
He has not forgotten what the Browns
did to his men in st. Louis when the
crutches and wheel chairs failed them
Bill gave 'em some fine Southern 81
Louis hospitality in return.
Young Urban Shocker, the new YanK
phenom, started the first game for the
Yanks and for six innings he made
noise like a phenom. But in the sew
enth the visitors began to get ac-
ouainted with him and by the time
Bill Donovan reluctantly sent ROBERT
Shawkey to his relief the game was as
good IS gone. =
The Browns got their first run in
the seventh when Marsans, SEVERED
and Austin singled in turn. In the
eighth the visitors made mince meat
out of Urban. Three runs were over
before Shawkey, who had not time
to change into his lucky red flannel
shirt, was put in.
But the struggling cripples came
right back in their half of the eighth.
Pipp walked when McCabe went wild
Davenport, the celebrated Brown iron
man. relieved McCabe and started with
a wild pitch which let Pipp get TO
second. Wallie came through on Old
rings out and Mullen's sacrifice fly.
The game might have been retrieved
here. if Shawkey had been wearing
his lucky red flannel shirt. But he
wasn't, so there was nothing to keep
away the rampant jinX which often
hovers about the park. Miller was
walked and got to second on Sisters
single. Pipp with some wonderful
spearing knocked down wide one
hit by Pratt and threw to cut Miller
at the plate. The ball went true into
Walters mitt but glanced out again
and the winning run came over.
Gets Red Flannel Shirt.
Immediately after the first game
Shawkey dashed into the clubhouse
and changed to the lucky red flannel
shirt. He felt terribly guilty about
the first game. "If had had on THE
shirt it wouldn't have happened" he
moaned.
Up to the seventh inning of that
second game it looked very dubious
for the Yanks. The score was TO i,
in favor of the ruthless invaders, when
y Idly Bauman faced young Oil Ham
ilton.
The Oil had been fooling a lot of
Yanks rather consistently with tan
talizingly slow ball, infrequently
mixed with a fast drop. But Paddy
Bauman decided to wait him out for
once and succeeded in drawing a pass.
Then Walters, who had been smarting
under the realization that his tumble
had cost the first game, decided to
strike real blow,
He caught one Of those foaters right
on the beak and hung its mangled re-
mains on the centre field wall for
triple, scoring Bauman and evening up
the score. At this juncture the $4,000
odd in the stands proceeded to go
unanimously mad.
Wild Bill Donovan then sent call
into Ward % of the Yankee hospital
and summoned Leslie Nunamaker, who
came forth with his bat in one hand
and his crutch in the other Nuna-
maker waited until one of those slow
ones got within reaching distance and
poled Il into distant right field for an
other triple, scoring Walters.
Ii was then the red flannel shirt Of
Shawkey began to figure in the days
proceedings. Mogridge had been taken

and there is no line Of dope strong
enough to convince them that they are
wrong. The first one was tough
