Then E:ppa Jeppa Rixey. the College

game by dipping the Dodgers in a 8 to 0

Not a solitary run for Brooklyn dur
ing the entire afternoon. And while
Brooklyn was being blankcd In twU
games those ~ferocious Boston Braves
were beating the Giants. The Can

up against a losing cause. as the Giants
did not score until the ninth. when Benny
