Philadelphia, April 6.-rh. A..
bound Robins and the equally a.

real, sure-enough ball game her. -.
afternoon. Il was quite a novel :.
pcriencc for both contestins psri.,
for neither has appeared in ac,iO, =.
any field since last Friday.
rne rest redounded to the m,,,r;,
bereft OF the Robins. They PLAYED /,
fast. wideawake game. while the PIT
lies los. their form and performed A.,
number of weird tricks. The rssri,
was that Brooklyn won by a score :,
10 3.
Grover Cleveland Alexander thr.,.
ened the Giants on Monday, but n.
game was postponed ION accom-, A.
we. grounds" it was said. The s,,.
Giant-bogie went into the box sgairr
the Robins to-day, but he failed I,
strike any terror 10 the hearts Of 4,
Ebtetts employees. lie did proven, Az,
mao outbreaks for six innings. bu, M,
arm and support weakened simul,sr,.
cusly in the seventh frame and a,
Robins scored five OF their runs
Much good. healthy hitting By u,
ROBINS and much fearfully bad 6eI
ing by the home team combined b
make a Brooklyn victory.
A Homer for Ivan.
For six innings Alexander VA, 70,
~ great. He allowed Just FIVE hii
The one run scored from his deliver
came when Ivan Olson. who hits b,s
almost as hard as he hits MsranriI,
et times. lifted a low curve into 4,
left field stands.
In the sixth frame Alex showed u,
first sign Of faltering. He was fov,s
for three hits, but since he retired 4,
side without allowing run. the a.,
simply charged il to the breaks Of b,v.
ball, and cheered him wildly as h
walked to the bench.
In the next frame, however, the socl
gates were opened and run after rsr
oozed across the plate. 0eschger ia.
ished in good style for Philadelphia
Larry Cheney, who operated on n.
mound for Brooklyn. had much u,
same experience as Alexander, only no,
quite so much Of IT, He went sonr
swimmingly for six frames. The Phil.
I lies scored once off him in that tine
Dode Paskert lacing a home run into
the left field stands.
In the seventh Cheney simply los, a.
90 ltrorfta,
and hitting another. These gifts, Win

one hit. Dsubert was the leading hl,v'
/ Of the afternoon. with q double and irs
one-base wallops. Larry Cheney ~

base variety. All Wheat did was rfe
his name in the official score and .,n'
age his batting average a little he
chased Whitfield and Craysth over ~
/ tie territory, gathering IN his long sies'
but that vas all.
George Cutshaw was not much o.
hero up in Boston, but he ceriar.'
scintillated to-day. George hsnctt
{ seven chances in a clean and eon'itt
/ ing manner. Olson, in addition 10 Oh
crashing home run drive, was IN ~

bert and Stengel on taps to the ooi:
As told before, Olson scored the hn
run Of the game by getting DIS none
in the third frame. and Paskert dupl
