the Brooklyn pitching stat, hur.;
back the Chicago Cubs on the dismora
at Ebbets Field yesterday. Parcellir,
out two hits, two singles so remo,sl,
scattered that the first almost VA
forgotten before the other was intru.
duced into the afternoon Of spor
Larry held his former associates fr
from the plate.
The other members Of the Robiu
in the meantime assaulted successful
ly the deliveries of three Chieag,
hurlers, played sterling game in u.
field, and deported themselves stt,
the manner Of champions. Small WOE.
der, then, that the score was s 70 q.
Vic Safer and Joe Kelly, the sl2,oA
beauty, were the men who swung see
cessfully against the vagaries 4
Lsrry's spitball. Cheney signed for
tickets to the lines, and Rollie Zeiac
arrived at first when Olson failed 4
handle his grounder In the first frsss
Zeider, Kelly and Safer dashed a. hy
as second base. Safer alone resclsd
the station of Mike Mowrey st tts far
turn.
1t was not so long ago that Gssrr
Cutshaw complained that he never r.
anything but the worst Of IL from AZ
one. His complaint was registered |,
a moment of pique, for surely lie
fans recognized his sterling work yes
terday. His play on a grounder BY
Art Wilson, which cut down q sure
hit and converted IL into a force n
second of Fritz Mollwitz, was a WOE.
der. cutshaw had bit OF hard luet,
however, for Bill Workman made 1
stylish catch of his drive, which vt
headed for left field, and then double:
Buck Wheat at second. IL was a vel.
conceived attempt by Cutshaw, which
failed Of execution by a matter Q!
inches.
Jim Vaughn, who started the game 0,
Tuesday, went back against the Robin,
yesterday, but his visit was indeed
short. Two runs were made of him %
the first inning, and were the result o.
clean, driving hits. He was removes
gently from the pastime when two mei
were out and two on bases.
Mike Mowrey's clout 70 centre, 8
crashing wallop that was good for
base, sounded the knell Of the Tenn
and drove two runs over the plate
Mike Prendergast succeeded him, b.
he. too. was hit at timely moments, are
his support was none TOO good. ueors.
Mcconnell, who pitched his first game
wears and years ago, finished the COZ,
test, and was found for a couple
runs.
Lew McCarty started his career as
catcher. and ne is a good catcher. JUS
now he is playing first base in the a.
sence of Jake Daubert. He covered t,'
bag in faultless style yesterday, accep;
ing every chance that offered itself, al.
continued his mad climb in the oattrs
averages by polling out two hits. Oh'
of these was liner in the first frame
that almost bcheaded Jim Vaughn,
Heinie Zimmerman played clever
game for the Cubs, while Jimmy Johh'
ston made a brilliant catch OF Jimmy
Archer's long fly in the eighth inning
Brooklyn annexed its first two runs
in the first inning. Johnston and Nc
Carly singled, but Wheat forced the
first named at third. Myers, however;
