cobbed Tyrus Cobb when the Robi,,
scuttled the Pirate ship at Forbes Y,g
here this afternoon. The scor. VA,
6 TO 0. We have sat and vons,,.s
while the Georgia Peach got 10 b,.
on balls and proceeded TO steal his va, |
around the paths, but, IL menor
serves, Tyrus never has scored fu.
third on an infeld fly. Olson .ccsr.
plished this unusual and Spectacular
feat in the ninth inning.
Otto Miller and Larry Cheney .s.
trified the crowI a moment later. rr.
ting away With double steal, the io,.
mer tallying. Even the most dyed.i,.
the-smoke Pittsburgh rooter was vii.
ing to admit that wonders will n.y,,
cease in baseball.
Ulson's feat may mean the bsnchir,
of Joe Schultz, for the second uct.,
is troubled with weak shoulder, vhic.
prevents him from throwing with ary
degree Of accuracy, but it added an IL.
diyidual touch to the pastime which /. 1
not often seen. Ivan opened the inn.
ing with a base on balls and wen, %
second when Otto Miller shot sing.
to right field. Cheney slashed OF,
down to short, which Mccarthy tur.
bled, and the bases were filled, with .
one out. Jimmie Johnston then LIED
a weak pop-up, which Schultz rsked |,
without trouble. Olson darted iw
home, and the crowd gssped its ansi,.
ment.
Surprise for Schultz.
Schultz, taken completely BY su,
prise, stood for a fraction Of seecr:
watching the Brooklyn man dash "a.
the plate, and then hurled high al.
wide to Fischer. Olson hit the dill
and slid under the catcher's frenli.:
stab, while Miller went to second SUI.
prises being in order, Cheney bron
away from first and numbered down al
second, while Miller set out for ,s.|
plate. Otto scored, too, for McCsr,hyiI
return TO Fischer was wide and high III
the mark.
Not otter is one treated 10 three
such unusual features in an sfternoo.
Cheney did more than steal seeori
base-he turned in his fourth yietorI
in fifteen days. In these four battls
he has allowed his opponents only fox
rurs, which is going along a lttle.
On August 3 Cheney turned bah
the Pirates az Ebbets Field, defes.irs
Frank Miller and Irving Ksntlehner By |
a score of Z TO 2. On August ts |
stopped the Cubs, with Vaughn in h, |
box, by a score Of 2 to 0. Next can,
a victory over the Braves, with Tylt,
pitching. by a score Of 70 2. This
afternoon he blanked the Pirates, al.
lowing only half dozen hits.
During the first six innings Bob
Harmon, who opposed Cheney on the
mound, was the only man to &c, q
safety, and that was little bognesr
20 Mike Mowrey, which the Ordinary
pitcher would not have beaten out
Harmon, however, is a fast runner Ia
the last three innings five hits were
made off Cheney, and one Of these was
a double to left field by Bill hneh'
man, in the ninth.
In times Of danger Cheney always
was able TO pull through nicely. No'
only was his splitter breaking well, boz
his support was steady and at times
sensational. In the second inning ME-
Mowrey robbed Bill Hinchman of hf
by making a great stop and one Of DIS
rifie-like throws to McCarty, on tI''
base.
Wheat RObs Baird.
In the first frame Buck Wheat s.ooi
in with a wonderful running catch Of
looping fly by Dug Baird. and robes
that worthy of two-bagger AZ leas-
IL was sensational recovery OF Ter
rife drive by Bill Hinchmsn IN ~
ninth inning made by this same "nea'
that prevented the Pirate from get'ihs
at least three bases.
Just a word for George Cutshaw, ina,
brilliant little guardian Of the seeons
sack. He had every batter figured 70 !
nicely, as shown when he crossed oyei
almost behind first 20 get a slam TOE
Bill Fischer, a dead right field hlus''
and threw him out to McCary.. =,
Buck Wheat was paid of in klno 2!
Max Carey in the third inning. Nnsss
hit fast ball flush on the nose az
drove il over in the general direction :.
the Schenley Park golf links, but Osr.
fairly flew along in pursuit ana Gauge
the ball over his shoulder while on w
dead run.
Casey Stengel had cause TO comps.
when Bill Hinchman raced clear osA
to the screening in right nelc 70 p"
down a sure triple.
Another cause for citation. any,
Brooklyn fans is the fact that Lew >.
Carly broke loose from his ps''A.
slump and laced out two hits, one .
double. Cutshaw got two hts, o.
Miller was the star. Otto's doupN
the second inning with three on os'.,
cleaned up and settled the issue o."
and for all. ,,,
The golfers on schenley might Nv ~.
that some foreign foe was e0n,,
harding the city wheen the eracI
BROOKLYN hits rang through the psils
haze OF smoke that hung over the 9si,
McCarty started il with a slngt
left field and Cutshaw got hit Tat'
his pepper evaded Harmon's elun.

the first run of the game. Then w. ~.
