LYN TEAM DEPARTS FOR THE
NORTH TOMORROW.
Considerable comfort is to be de-
rived from the fact that Brooklyn SUI
perbas have won their first game with
al outside team. but it was not the
fact that they beat Connie Mack's
miscellaneous Athletics at the Day
so much as the way it was done. The
Slperbas played good enough to beat
any team in mid-season form. They
m ade no errors, were full of pep, and
they could hit at least one pitcher
with the same vim they have shown
IL. smuggling their own veterans. The
Fingers they jumped so heartily was
Crowell, a Brown University find.
Off him ten hits were garnered in five
innings. Despite that savage attack,
Brother Crowell impressed us most ia
vorably. He had some speed, change
OF pace, and a good break. His fault
was lack of experience. Six runs were
made off him on four hits in the third
Inning, because the Superbas played
major ball and Crowell reverted to
tle pure amateur class.
When a spindled-shanked, round
shouldered person, named Sheehan,
went to the mound in the sixth in
ling, it was a different story. Maybe,
lie, too, would have regained his
status as an amateur if the Superbas
lad hit him. but they didn't, and he
fessional. The only hit off Sheehan
was a single to center by Jimmy Hick-
man. Jimmy went to right for Char
ley Stengel in the sixth and Larry
Miller to left for lack Wheat. Dau-
bert opened Brooklyns half of the
Iiixth by being called out on strikes
served by the strange Sheehan per-
son. Hickman singled to right-cen-
.er after sundry laborious efforts. He
was promptly forced by Larry Miller
who died stealing. The only other
Superba who had chance to muddle
the mind of Sheehan was O'Mara, who
reached second from the plate in the
eighth, with two out, on Sam Cranes
wild throw Daubert flied to Walsh
and the attack ON Sheehan was over.
Pfeffer allowed two hits in his five
innings, and one man reached third
Uncle Wilbert Robinson had it dopeC
out that Pfeffer was midsummer
pitcher and would hardly be a depend
able asset in the spring. Recently the
dear old soul has taken an anecdott
for that dope, and is counting upoI
the big blonde as one of his earlies
toilers in April and May.
Edward is using slow ball more
often and more effectively than HI
did last year, if memory is correct
and the change of pace is confusing
to an enemy which has heard abou
his great strength and his ability t.
keep shooting over the fast ones
While Thompson was the solitar.
whiffer in Pfeffer's reign, the Athlet
les accumulated a number of strikes
and when they did hit, the ball wa.
twisting so shrewdly that they coult
not drive it far.
Marquards performance was decid
eddy encouraging. He was not in
vulnerable, as the four hits in fou
pretty nearly the real thing. Ever.
now and then RUDE would have
streak of three of four pitches tina
were as good as he ever sent bate
when he was compiling record o
nineteen straight winnings for Ney
York. After that he would wobble
hit, but would soon be back in hi
stride. 1t was by far the most hope
full exhibition RUDE has given thi
spring. If he can keep his shoot
going regularly as he did in spot
yesterday, he will be a great con
fort to Flatbus hand environs II
looks good and says he feels gOO(
With those flashes against the Att
letics to brighten his mind, Rub
should go onward and upward to glor
and mazuma.
Artistically, the game was to
large degree spoiled and made
small value, from hitting standpoint
outfield. Daubert, for instance, tri
led to right in the first inning Walls
was under it far enough to get h
hands on it and then drop it. KnoN
ing the condition, there was nothir
to do but credit Daubert with tripl
On a decent outfeld Daubert wou
probably have been out, as Walls
