Ed Appleton Gets Chance
to Shine and Makes
Most of 1t.
By FRANK ONEILL.

The Brooklyn Robins brought their
season to fitting close when they de-
feated the Giants at Ebbets Field yes
terday afternoon. Robbie's men must
now fight the Boston Red Sox in the
battle for the worlds championship and
reap the golden harvest Whether they
win or lose in the coming strife they
will divide something like $4,000, so 1t
was no wonder that the boys felt chip
per as they discarded their uniforms.
Brooklyn won yesterday by the score of
Z to 8.
1t might be said. perhaps, that the
game was played for the batting aver
ages, and surely the boys laid into the
old leather. The Giants hit with
greater freedom, but the Robins with
greater result. To Ed Appleton the &C.
casion was one Of import. he was
charged by Wilbert Robinson to deliver
the game into the winning column and
20 allow nothing to stand in his way.
Well, Eds from Texas. and he went
about his work in the right fashion.
What if the Giants did clout him
around the old ball park for ten good
hits or so? Suppose they did threaten
him in the closing frames. Appleton
saw TO it that few runs were counted
until he was dug in behind comfort
able lead. Along toward the closing
innings Robbie sent his utility men into
IA - L. 20
took advantage and scored most Of their
runs, but not a soul in the grounds
worried.
Bad Day for JEFF.
JEFF Tesreau worked on the rubber
during the first six innings and then
stepped down in favor Of pinch hitter.
BY the time Charles Herzog, manager
pro tenn, took JEFF out the Robins had
piled up four runs, and 80 the Ozark
behemoth will be charged with the loss
Of the game.
Fred Anderson replaced Tesreau for
a couple Of minutes, and IL soon became
necessary 70 trot out George Smith, the
youthful Columbia pitcher. Smith took
occasion 20 hit Otto Miller on the hand
with a pitched ball Robbie gasped when
Miller was hit, but no damage was done.
Hi Myers babe farewell to the season
in fine style. He got three hits, includ-
ing two doubles and a triple. Casey
Stengel gathered a couple Of blows for
himself, and 20 did the old reliable
George Cutshaw. The Robins got their
bingles at timely moments and every
thing went along nicely.
Errorless baseball was the order OF
the day for Brooklyn, and there were a
couple of plays flashed that, II they can
be duplicated in the coming battle with
Carrigan's men, will set the tongues Of
the fans wagRing for months.
Mike Mowrey cut down Kauf In the
second inning by a play that was a clas-
sic, and Cutshaw performed nicely. All
in ali, the fans were we'll pleased with
The work OF their champions and look
with hope 70 the coming series.
Parade in Brooklyn.
The Robins will depart for Boston on
the 1 o'clock train this afternoon. Be
fore leaving for the scene Of action the
boys will parade through Brooklyn in
touring cars. Charles VI. Lbbets was
practising up an speech which he
threatens 20 spring on She fans at Bor-
Ough Hall. He spent the best part OF
the afternoon committing IL 70 memory,
and be IL said that Patrick Henry, Ed
mund Burke and others will be eclipsed
when the genial Charley cuts loose.
Charles II. Ebbsts IL certain that run
ming a worlds series IL no job for
White man. mo matter how ! move

en- called a crook. 10 sell this Job for a
fish and then drown the hsh. that's
