Cincinnati, July 9.-The Brooklyns
are good dodgers. but they could not
dodge the first game here to-day, or
else they would have added more TO
their rapidly climbing percentage
column. After the first pastime was
lost, 3 to 0, they proceeded TO show
the Reds how TO play ball, by win
ming, 10 to 8.
In the opening contest big Fred
Toney. the boy from sunny Italy, was
too much for tho flock of Robins. In
fact, Toney had them on his nip az all
times and not a DodCer succeeded IN
getting across the plate. Only one
member Of Robbie's crew made any i'm
preston upon his swift delivery. That
member was Cutshaw. who punctured
Toney's slants for three safe drives
The only other safety secured of him
was by Otto Miller. and it did not
amount 70 anything.
Old Jack Coombs twirled splendid
ball and held the Reds 10 five safe
drives. but they secured three runs on
this small number Of hits. Toney was
in danger only twice. IN the fifth he
walked Mowrey, first Up. and Cutshaw
singled, putting two on. with none
down. But O'Mara hit into double
play and Miller flied TO Fisher.
In the seventh. with one out, Toney
issued his second pass. Mowrey fled
out, but Groh Just missed getting Cut
shaw's fly near the right foul line. and
il went for two bases, putting Wheat
on third. OMara. up again in the
pinch, grounded 20 Herzog for the third
out.
Reds Bunch Their Hits.
The Reds did not hit fercely, but
they combined their few blows TO the
best advantage In the first inning
with one gone. Neale singled and made
q clean steal Of second. Herzog famed
but Chase singled 70 left, scoring
Neale. After Toney had famed in the
third Groh walked, Neale singled and
both scored on Herzog's double to right
centre. This was all the hitting that
was possible off COombs. except 8
single by WinCo in the seventh.
The second game was easy for the
Superbas HerZog sent IN an Indian
pitcher by the name Of Bluejacket from
somewhere out in the wilds of Illinois
and the Dodgers gave him a touch OF
high life. Moseley. who was sent IN as
a relief pitcher. was hit very hard IN
one inning. He was wild and far from
IN command of the ball or the sltua-
lion.
The failure Of Bluejacket and Nose
ley gave Twining a chance for his first
trial on the big line. He worked the
last two rounds and was sloughed bru-
tally in the ninth. .,
