opposed Lefty Cooper, and lost after
ten gripping innings by score OF
20 1. The final game found Rube Mar
guard out in the centre OF the diamond
engaging in a hand-to-hand encounter
with Irving Kantlehner. The Rube was
at his attenuated best, and the Robins
won by a score of to 0.
Brooklyn hewed its winning run out
OF the raw material furnished by
pass to Jimmie Johnston, ringing
drive to left by Hi Meyers, pass to
Lew McCarty and George Cutshaws
long Nv to Bill Hinchman. The method
pursued by Pittsburgh was not quite
so true to the line, but it was enec'iVe.
The run that sent Sherrod Smith OIL
the field a beaten pitcher rode home on
the wings of a wild and hilarious throw
by George Cutshaw.
Marquard pitched stylish game
throughout. He held the Pirates to nVe
hits and never did he permit more than
one to happen in one single inning 10
add the distinctive touch, RUDE saw 70
IL that only one of the home team ad-
vanced to second base. The stalwart
hero was none other than Hans Wag-
ner. who returned to the game after
prolonged absence caused by injuries.
, The demon Dutchman doubled to the
left field fence in the fifth inning. but
was run down when Joe Schultz, hitting
for Doc Johnston. grounded to Mowrey.
In completing the play Mowrey spiked
Wagner in the heel and the Dutchman
was forced out of action.
Rube Gets q Scare.
Yet, Marquard had one scare, and
that was in the ninth when Schmidt
singled. Meyers, trying to catch him
asleep off first almost threw into right
field, but McCarty made a leaping
catch and pulled the ball to earth.
Right after that Baird hit in front Of
the plate and Meyers shot down Schmidt
at second base.
Smiths performance was almost on
a par with Marquard's, but he had the
misfortune TO lose, and his good work
was overshadowed in the. defeat. Both
Cooper and Kantlehner hurled in
clever style, and between them they al
lowed only eight hits. Pittsburgh made
eleven safeties in the afternoon, Of
which six were torn from the delivery
Of Smith.
There were half dozen fielding feat
ures in the afternoon and Scoops Carey
won the applause Of the fans by making
a couple of wonderful catches in centre
field. He 5pbbed Jimmie Johnston Of
one single in the third frame of the
first game, and yanked a triple by
Wheat right out of the skies, racing like
mad for the fence. Bill Hinchman
raced right back on the cinder path in
right field for Wheat's liner in the
eighth inning of the first game. Lew
McCarty made some great plays at
! first, but the palm went to Doc Joint
/ ton, who dug Mowrey's drive right OFF
his shoe tops and prevented triple.
Pirates Start Early.
The Corsairs insugurated the days
scoring in the third inning of the first
game. Fischer larruped a double to
/ deep left centre. Smith frightened and
whitfield Cooper after the pitcher had
twice tried to bunt. Little Doug Baird
/ then shot a long triple down the right
| field line, scoring Fischer. Only fast
recovery by Jimmie Johnston held
Baird TO third.
The Robins came back and tied it in
the fourth. H Myers propelled a
triple between the feet-footed Carey
and Hinchman. 1t looked from the
stand as though Carey might have
caught the ball but for transitory
misjudgment Of it. He came in two
steps and then saw the hit was longer
| than he had reckoned. then he turned
| tail and made high jump into the air
as the ball sailed to the. right field
/ stands. Wheat got hold of fast ball
] the catch.
/ The battle was then scoreless until
the tenth inning. After the Robins
had passed up their excellent opportu-
nifty on Smiths unfortunate bunt that
resulted in a double play and killed the
Robins chances, Schultz, batting for
W. Johnston, poked single TO left
centre. McCarty dropped q perfec,
sacrifice and Schultz roasted on second
ready 70 come home with the winning
run.
Cutshaw's Wild Heave.
Fischer hit slow, tantslizine
erounder toward second. II was a diff
fcult ball for Cutshaw to handle. as he
had been playing far to the right. He
took a long chance when he secured
the ball and tried to toss Fischer gu,
at first, though it looked as though the
Corsairs' catcher would have beaten q
perfect throw. But Cutshaw's throw
was not perfect. 1t was to the right OF
McCarty and high, and as the pill
drifted on 70 the grandstand Schultz
chased home with the winning run, Z
run that broke the Dodgers brief win
ming streak and was q sad blow to them
generally.
1t was in the fourth inning Of tn
second game that the Robins gave
Rube Marquard the necessary velve'
for victory. Jimmy Johnston drew :
pass. On the first ball Myers and John
ston tried the hi. and run. but Myers
drive was foul. Then the stocky Hiram
attempted bunt and again fouled
On the third pitched ball the hit anC
run was tried again, and, as Johnston
