yesterday afternoon would soon put
i-,ele Robbie's men back where their
.;.l. bonors would indicate they should
- The Dodgers looked the part Of
.ssnpions in every respect. They ham
,,.red out victory over Barnes in the
ysrv first inning with as fine a hitting
r.uv As one could wish to sec. They
r.5A the three runs of that first inn
i,r stand up for good pitching.
The second battle was slugging
ra,eh. for none of the pitchers on
either side was anywhere near the
.o-m Of either Cadore or Barnes. But
while this second game. too. favored
Brooklyn. so far as hitting was con-
,erned. the defence Of the champions
was simply miraculous. Stengel. Wheat
and Nowrey among them cut off half
a dozen hits in critical situations:
Warsnville. on the other hand, played
ore OF the most sensational games at
short field ever witnessed on any ball
park.
Win in First
Brooklyn won the first game in the
yery first inning by climbing aboard
pig Bov Barnes for three runs. Dau-
bsTt singled TO left and Hickman beat
a slow bounder 70 Maranville. Stengel
trjpled 70 right centre. scoring pau
bert and Hickman. Wheat doubled 10
centre and Stengel scored. Cutshaw
and Novrey both flied 70 centre.
That first inning was the game COM
nlete. BROOKLYN got only one man to
third base afterward and Boston but
two. In the second, fifth, seventh and
eighth innings only three Boston bat
ters faced Cadore. Naranvllle -slngled
10 start the eighth. but he was doubled
with Kelly after Barnes ballooned TO
Wheat. Barnes singled with only one
down in the third, but did not advance.
Konetchy walked with two gone IN the
fourth and got to third on WIG
pitch, but Red Smith waited gently 10
Wheat. Wilhoit singled to centre IN
the sixth. but two were out, and he was
forced BY Magee. Evers drew pass
starting Boston's ninth, and Massey ran
for the Trojan. Mowrey got Wllholts
Jolt and threw 20 Cutshaw in time to
torce Massey. Magee laid long sin
cle into left field that sent Wllholt to
third. Rawlings ran for Magee. ko-
netchy shot a wicked chop down the
third base foul line. II looked like a
sure hit till Mowrey raced over behind
the bag and leaped high for a one-hand-
ed clutch. Mowrey's great play not only
reid Wilhoit glued 20 third, but MS
ouick throw to Cutshaw forced Raw
lings a. second. Smith flied weakly TO
centre field.
Southpaw Sherrod Smith had every
announcement in the second game, Tor
ths Dodgers handed him four-run
lead by humping Pat Ragan out OF the
box in three innings. But Smith let
Boston tie IL up with four runs II the
fourth. Zach Wheat's home run over
the right field fence gave Brooklyn
two runs in the second, as II followed
Serzeps single. The Dodgers scored
twice again in the third and might have
einehed the game had Stengel kept his
head upon an attempted double steal.
Olson beat a slow bounder 70 Maran-
vile starting this inning. Daubert
sacrificed Hickman doubled TO right
for the run. Stengel singled 20 cen
,re. scoring Hickman. Wheat singled to
right, putting Stengel on third. A
double steal was gummed up by Casey,
Eho fell for a bluff throw and was
caught OF third. Cutshaw popped to
Nsrsnviile.
Rawlings opened Boston's fourth
with a single 70 left and sprinted TO
third when Hickman juggled konetchy's
single Sherrod Smith grabbed Red
Smiths sharp rap and threw TO Maran'
vile in time 20 force out Honey, hold
ing Rawlings 20 third meanwhile.
Gowdy popped 20 Olson. Then with
ivo down Boston proceeded TO tie 1t
up. Naranville walked, filling the
bases. Tragresser, hitting for Regan,
doubled 20 right, scoring Rawlings and
J. c. Smith. Kelly bounced A wicked
one OF Daubert's glove and Maranville
and Trsgresser tailed.
