Defeat Cubs
Bv W. J. MACBETH

-hs champion Dodgers squared ac-
1t. with the Cubs at Ebbets Field
..,srsay afternoon by staging one of
=. most completely successful ninth
,-.;,c rallies ever seen in the environs
= rlatbush. This punch, put over
.ri,h one out, snatched from the debris
vi,.ory that appeared to have been
...,.s of. The final score favored the
Robins by to 4.
'T;,r I;r,my Hickman. who patrols centre
~ for the Dodgers, put a whole lot
- t,osb grav hairs in the thatch or
S...hnaw Sherrod Smith. This big
s'Tor had his bands full with steamer
N nemaree. onetime Giant. When
n.usree is good ne usually is very,
~, good and most of the time he
ven 'ssmed in line for a good day yester-
Two Busy Innings
-, Cpbs did all Of their scoring in
=. third and ninth innings. They
J"hbsd Smith freely in both these
."-nds In the third they punched
.s-ss ~ their seven hits for brace
= counts. and combined two others
~ one Of Hickman's mutfs for
-..bsr two in the ninth. At all times
S-;.b was master of the situation.
0,lv once was he in difficulties. In
~. fourth. with Williams on second
"a one out. Hickman muffed Wort
-.,,s easv fy, but recovered the ball
- npickly as to prevent Williams from
advancing. II
Dsmaree had much the same sort OF
,.ssage es Smith. He was unfortunate
srourh 10 bump into real heavy MT
.;no AZ times when il would do the
,-ss.ss. possible harm. The top OF
pobbie's batting order didn't worry the
S,ssmer a bit, but the lower half had
veal punch all the way. Why, even
Sbsrrod Smith blew himself to q
triple; Miller, who failed to MT sateiy,
worked in a sacrifice fly at the right
moment.
ing two run in the third inning, Art
wilson started of with 8 single 70
centre. Demsree struck out, but F!ack
singled 10 left. Mann lined TO rlght
seld. but Laughing Larry Doyle was
,till to be heard from. AS rule
Isrrv is not at his best against left
landed pitching, but he found some
thiug or other that suited him, for
he certainly did paste a curve TO rlghe
f.h -.
Css.y s.engel made a desperate eff
fort for the catch, but failed by inches
10 ge, up in time for a shoestrlng
elutch. The ball carromed off StengeFs 3
ebins for two-base hit that scored
Wilson and Black. Olson threw out
Nerkl.. Williams singled through
Myers In the third and Beal sacrificed.
Hickman then muffed WOrtman's easy
fy, bu. Cutshaw and Myers took care
oi both Wilson and Demaree.
Smith Gets Triple
Smith was the first Dodger to
solve Demaree's twisters. The big
sou,hpsw tripled 10 left in the third
inning. But two were gone and Ol-
sons best was a roller straight at
wortmsn. But the heavy artillery o.
IL. champions finally got TO Demaree
IA the fifth and knotted the count.
Zach Wheat. first up, tripled TO LETT
centre. Cutshaw, who was destined TO
fgsrs even more prominently later
smashed a double 10 centre, scoring
Wheat. George raced 70 third on
,,Mowrey's long line drive TO right and
tied the score on Miller's long ny 70
centre.
Brooklyn got out in front for the
trst time in the seventh inning.
Casey Stengel singled. but Cutshaw
;orced him at second after Wheat mad
i91led 70 Wilson. Mowrey doubled TO
.sft for the run.
In the first half Of the ninth Chi:
,ago scored twice. and almost knocked
the Squire right off his high
seat. A most provoking muf by Hick-
ran was largely responsible for these
iso runs. Deal singled TO centre, but
Workman bunted a little pop fly 70
sni,h, trying % sacrifice. Hickman
ihen dropped Wilson's easy fly, for
which he did not have TO bulge.
Driscoll ran for Wilson and Dilhoe-
e, batted for Demaree. Smith quick
] put over two strikes on Dilhoefer.
ne next was pretty fair looking, but
ODsy called IL ball. Another pitch
vas vide. With the count two and
'To, Dilhoefer took toe hold and
tllec for the old grower. Inc plncn
iiiier put all he had in the swing and
,'sfted q powerful drive that carried
.sf past Wheat. II was a clean triple
nat scored Deal and Driscoll. Flack
g''anded 70 Movrey and Dilhoefer
s'' run down between third and the
lse, Flsek taking second on the
Say. Olson threw out Wolter.
Some Exciting Moments
Then came Brooklyn's ninth inning
DNy, the most exciting few minutes
ne afternoon. Hickman, first 20
,,4s. Aldridge, boosted weakly 20
Isid.r who had gone 70 centre field
nsn Mann was thrown out for dis
L9uhe a called strike that retired him
y ns nth. Casey Stengel singled 20
sh' and dashed 20 second on a short
1s'se ball. Wheat dropped a Texas
S.sg'sr into centre. Zeider fooled
.thssl into thinking he could make
80 es,eh' and 80 Casey got no further
.h hird. Wheat. however. dashed
second on the throw-in. Cutshaw
,uYisd through short for the two
ms and the 0s,,e
