Winning Five
Heat Affects Players and
Umpires in Game at
Ebbets Field
Ry w. ]. MACBETH

Brooklyn's champions made il FIVE out
Of seven games for the series with the
Braves. by taking yesterdays game at
Ebbots Field. The score was 7 TO 3.
The terrific heat seemed 70 affect
everybody and everything connected
with the entertainment. IL permested
the Grass natures of Messrs. Charles
Rigler and Al Orth. the umpires, to
such an extent that the srbiters became
unusually peeyiSh before the end.
Rigler, who has been pretty much OF
a pacifst this season. decided il was
about time 10 do some Of his spring
cleaning along toward the eighth
inning. lie busted the Braves bench
thoroughly. Trojan johnny Evers was
the first 10 be shown the gate, for con
tinung to kick over one of Al Orth's
close decisions that put Olson on sec
ond base. with none out. 4 few mo-
mcnts later George Stallings, the bench
manager of the Hub aggregation. was
sent to the clubhouse. Red Smith was
canned after he had drawn pass
during Boston's rally in the eighth
inning. 4 moment later George Tyler.
who had figured as pinch hitter, was
given the gun.
JEFF Pfetfer, Brooklyn's most depend
able pitcher of the past championship
campaign. showed a fash of the old
form that made him invincible twelve
month ago. Pfeifer was so very much
better than Lefty Allen, Ed Reulbach
and Tom Hughes, who divided the
pitching burden for the visitors, that
once Brooklyn got in front the final re-
suit was never much in doubt Pfetfer
was good enough TO carry on his broad
shoulders a very much patched inheld.
Iii Myers, an outfielder had TO BE-
pressed into service at third base, as
Mike Mowrey is sporting a bad dog.
Jimmy Johnston was again on the Ear
corner, as Daubert's leg is still sore.
Win by Hard Hitting
The terrific hitting Of Olson, John
ston, Stengel and Wheat, had very
much 70 do with Brooklyn's success.
Olson had a perfect day at bat, and tall
lied three runs Stengel hit a home
run over the right field wall, and later
converted base on balls into run.
Each side scored in the first inning.
with one cut, Massey, Wilhoit and
Magee singled in order, the first men
toned scoring. Konetchy connected
fairly on n hit-and-run play, but drove
straight at Olson, whose toss TO Cut
shaw doubled without easily off second
base Had this hard line drive gone
foot or two 70 either side Of short
Boston probably would have raked in a
cluster OF TALES.
Brooklyn tied In the second half
Olson singled. and Johnston beat a
bunt. Hickman sacrificed. Olson
scored on S.engels long hy to Magee.
Again in the second Pfefer was in
hot water Red Smith drew pass and
Tragresser dropped Texas leauguer to
left, all with none out. Johnston, how
ever. raced in for fine pickup Of
Maranville's bunt and threw TO Myers
in time TO force Smith at third. Myers
then snatched up Aliens grounder,
tagged third and returned the compli-
ment Of a double play with Johnston's
assistance.
Brooklyn took the lead in the third
inning by means Of Olson's double and
Johnston's single. With one out in the
sixth, Stengcl hit the ball over the
right field fence. Brooklyn cinched the
game with two more runs of Ed Reul-
bach in the seventh. Chief Meyers
walked with one out. Pfeifer pepper 10
Massey, but Olson's single sent the Ind
ian 20 third, Ivy stretching his swat TO
two bases when Magee fumbled momen-
tarily The decision was close, by the
way. and started all the augmentation
thai -2{sd in wholesale banshments
from A.- b,,ves' bench. Johnston was
safe on Massey's tumble, Meyers scor-
ing, and when Massey held the ball
Olson snoaked home, too. Hickman
beat an infeld single, but the double
steal failed.
Score Two in Eighth
/ Boston's two runs IN the eighth were
gifts Massey singled. and Wlhoit got
double through Stengel's misjudgment
Of liner. Chief Meyers threw into
left field trying TO catch Massey off
thild. and the latter scored Pfefrer
struck out Magee and held Honey 10
little pop-up. Then he passed Red
Smith. Smith was ordered from tbs
field, barking back TO the seventh inn
ing. Bailey ran for him. Tragresser
was safe on III Myers's tumble, Wilhoit
scoring. Cutshaw held the ball too
/ long after stopping Maranyile's easy
grounder, and thereby presented the
Rabbit with an inheld single. This
flleG the bases. But Barnes. hitting
for Ruelbach, forced Tragresser on a
very close play
The two runs off Tom Hughes in the
mini came easily. Stengel walked and
Wheat scratched hit through the box.
