Mike Mowrey, Casey Stengel, Hi Nys,,
and the fleet-footed Jimmy Johnstor
ripped off two base knocks.
Yet with all these hits there Va,
only one inning in which the Brooklv,
men could bunch them. They wen, =,
a mad debauch in the fifth frame, ana
grouping a single by Jimmy Johnstor
and doubles by Stengel and Myer,
pushed two runs over the plate and b
doing so pushed big Jim Vaughn righ,

Packard, another lefthander, finished
the game and never allowed the sign
of a run.

sent Otto Knabe home from second
base.
This same Otto Knabe was pro-
nounced all through by the critics q,
the start Of this season, but he is
still a capable sort of ball player
His two hits resulted in two runs, one
of which he scored, and the other he
drove home. In the field ne was quite
active. making a great play on a liner
by Chief Meyers.
