the blow that turned the trick. a clean
blow to left on which McNally easily
beat wheat's throw to the plate.
Brooklyn was guilty Of n pair Of stupid
base running plays. which worked
against them. In the third inning Smith

third and was easily retired. Johnston,
the next batter. hit n clean single to

one Interesting feature OF this series
Is that not n base has been stolen In two
games. Not "A Red Sox player has at
tempted to steal on either Meyers or
Miller. The Chief. however. caught

in the second inning OF to-day's game.
Many Extra Base Hits.
Another freak feature OF this series is
the number OF Boston hits that have
gone for extra bases. The Red Son

high In long hits, yet eight OF their NJ
teen hits. made last Saturday to-
day, have been for extra bases. These
include four triples and four doubles.
The Brooklyn percentage or extra base
blows Is not as high as that OF BOSTON,
bur In the two games the Dodgers have
hit two doubles, two triples and a homer.
