Heat Affects Players.
By FRANK O'NEILL.

The sitting heat that PROSTATE ~
spectators at Ebbets Field proved =.
detriment to the efficiency Of "a.
Brooklyn Robins, and while III. m,
beat pitilessly from a hot and some,
sky they walloped the Cincinnati Red.
in both games Of double header ye,.
terday afternoon. Immediately sft.r
Matty assumed command Of tn. Red,
they persed up and played hashy bag.
ball for a while, but the novelty .
the new master has worn OF, itwsls2
seem, and the boys have faller bsss
into their old habits. The scores v.r,
8 to 3 and 4 to respectively.
Both victories were won in cor
vincing manner. There was a pss,.
in the attack that swept Fred Ton.
and Heinie Schulz back In ID. ~
game, and which was carried slsns Z
the second contest, to the ccnp.s.,
discontinue Of Baron Knetzer, VI,
at one time wore the uniform o, Il.
Dodgers in the old days at Wasixs
ton Park. Ringing drives Of varisx
distances were inserted at timely 70
ments, and the carnival of Seori-,
went on.
Olsen Strong at Defence.
Coupled with this forceful oisnsR
was a rock-ribbed defence, led b. lTn
Olson, who is playing real bassaAll =
the short field. Nike Mowrey go ,hsr
all at third base, too, and nelthey San
rod Smith, who pitched the first Cl.s
nor Larry Cheney, who directed ;.s
operations in the second gans, an
any cause 10 complain OF faulV sup
port. Robbie took Olson and Nc~rsY
out of the first game and nt /
O'Mara and Getz at shortstx an
third base respectively, and Matt
gave Heinie Groh res. in the seeon-
when the heat distressed the plSyea
beyond bearing.
In the second battle Olson and NoT.
rev were back at their positions ne
wonder was that the ptchen ever
stood up under the work of hurting u
that temperature, and another soacsr
was that Eddie Roush. who ran ., ltsa
two miles chasing hits, was ABLE 70
bear IL.
Brooklyn concentrated its energies
in the second game 10 the fourth "a
ming. and scored all its runs riga, ,ssi
and there. Jake Dsubert opened n
on Knetzer by knocking a home IN :,
left centre field fence, and Buck Nsst
ripped a single into right. CaillN
laid down a bunt. which bnet7s, ,tls
ed to second, trying 70 force heest
but his direction was poor ana e'a
runners were safe. Nowrey Vaina
filing the bases, and Olson clestet "
with a two-base hit. He took ta.rd o.
a passed ball, but was out trrhg.
steal home. so Miller's double tat t'
lowed was non-productive. Miller VI,
out trying 70 go 70 third on $40
passed ball.
Heat Hard on Smith.
The first game was played along a.
ferent lines. Ivan Olson, who shons
in the part Of cleanup man in tas sec
ond game, gave the fans an mixing
what TO expect from him by his aetloi
in the opener. His clean single u
drive 10 left, scored Cutshaw IN =
second inning, and his double pat c.
shaw over for another run later IN Y
game. It seemed that any time Z
Robins got a runner on, they SO
right 70 their task and got him home
The Reds got after Smith, who
affected by the heat, and got three ~
in the eighth inning, but these wei.
all TOO few, and Natty could only 8
and watch his men go down 70 dssesL
