Fucker, who found men on second ana
third when he entered the lists.
In the second game the visitors al
wave were in front, but the Robins
made many a demonstration IN force
ard threatened to break through. IN
deed. hit by Chief Meyers or Jimmie
Johnston in the sixth inning might
have turned the tide. Two runs were
over the plate, and the bases full.
Movers grounded out, scoring one run,
Stengel was passed, filling the bases
while the crowd booed. Jimmie john
ston then came up, but hughes
whistled a fast one under his nose wlta
the count two and two. and the OAK
land blade struck out, dashng the
hopes Of Brooklyn once more.
Dick Rudolph won his seventh
straight game when he defeated inc
Robins in the first contest, and ne
was hurled back into the second
fray by Stallings, when Hughes 1al-
tered in the ninth, The spell OF ms
mastery over Brooklyn remains un-
broken, for he checked the rally short.
The day was dull and dark for DICK
in the fifth inning of the opener, for
he was hit hard for three runs. Then
TOO. Jeff Pfefer was pitching against
him. Not often does the Brooklyn Ace
lose under those conditions. What
might have happened to Sir Richard
had he finished the game is matter
of conjecture, but he was derrlcked
TO allow a hitter in his place, and Lefty
Nehf finished the game, going IN when
the Braves were one run TO the gooo'
Frank Allen, Hughes and Rudolph col
laborated in winning the last game.

a run in the second inning Of the

Daubert. who dashed all the way 10
third on 8 wild return by Snodgrass;;
Wheat came up amid the thundereo
cheers of the crowd. Robbie exhorted
him TO hit il out of the lot, and Buck
did. He sent the ball sailing far over
the right field fence into vacant lou
on Bedford Avenue, tallying Daubert
before him.
Braves Turn Tide
Alas! for the hopes Of BROOKLYN
The Braves were not dismayed, and
seemingly safe lead had no terror for
them. With one out in the ninth;
Magee walked, and went to second
when Konetchy bounced a single OIL
Daubert's ankle Smith singled, scor-
ing Magee, and Stallings began TO take
an interest in things. He sent Joe
Connolly to hit for Snodgrass, and Joe
doubled 10 left.
Konetchy scored on this wallop, and
the leader Of the Braves sent Tyler up
TO hit in place of Blackburn. Right
here began a battle of managerial wits,
for Robbie sent Pfeffer TO the club
house and Rucker TO the mound. Stall
lings retaiiated by substituting Fitz-
patrick for Tyler, and Fitz came
through with single, scoring Smith
and Connolly.

ond game, with the Braves scoring
first. They collected one run each in
the first and second innings. Maran-
willie greeted Sherrod Smith in the
opening frame with single TO right,
and scored eventually on drive for
n base by Magee.
