their bailiwick in Flatbush yesterday
in company with the hoodoo that pug
sued them through the Western trip.
The Cincinnati Reds in the opening
game of a series defeated the minions
of Charley Ebbets by score Of to 8.
Matty's men pulled out the victory
with a ninth inning rally, clustering
three hits for the winning advantage.
Fred Toney, who has improved con-
siderably through Christy Mathew
sor's tutelage, was on the firing line
for the visitors ard was in rare form.
He had several spells of unsteadiness,
but recovered himself when serious
danger threatened The victory Of
Toney boosted his total so far this
season 20 twenty-one games, his me
work recently being rewarded with
$1,000 bonus. Torey allowed the
Dodgers only eight hits.
The Reds wideawake policy gives
promise of repeating their success
against the Dodgers which was expert
enced on the last visit here. On that
occasion Robinson's men went down
to four straight defeats, and the GIN
cinnati players are keen to duplicate
this performance.
Galore Poorly Supported
Leon Galore, who recently passed the
physical examination in the draft wlth
high honors, was on the mound for the
Brooklyn team. His twirllng was OF
an order that would win many games,
but he was wretchedly supported by
his team mates. Three chances were
messed up behind him, and two OF them
were directly responsible for the scor-
ing of runs. Jimmy Johnston, who is
playing the shortfeld position, COM
mitted two fumbles and Hickman one.
In fact, the Cincinnati players also
messed up chances that gave the
Dodgers an opportunity to tally PAIR
Of runs. Wingo found the slants OF
Toney hard to handle, a passed ball
for two bases resulting in a run:
The Dodgers made hay early and got
off TO a flying ttart. Johnston greeted
| Toncy with a single and went 10 second
on Neale's tumble. AS Kopf threw out
Daubert Johnston went to third. Myers
also hit 20 Kopf and the latter's throw
home 70 catch Johnston was late, giving
Brooklyn a run. Hickman continued
the fun with double to centre, or
which Myers reached third. However,
Cutshaw allowed a splendid opportunity
TO slip, by flying out to Magee.
Johnston took an ascension in the
second, and the Reds managed TO take
a one-run lead. Chase drove a liner
TO right centre for two bases. Magee
sacrificed, Galore 10 Daubert. When
Johnston thew wild 70 first on Neale's
grounder Chase tailed. Johnston also
/ fooled a chance for Shean, Neale
/ going to third Wingo drove long
/ sacrifice fy to Hickman, scoring Neale,
| but Toney politely struck out, ending
/ the inning.
Toney escaped fortunately in the
third. He walked O'Rourke, and a
single by Miller allowed the recruit 70
reach third base. However, .O'Rourke
took too desperate a chance on Johns
toms tap TO Toney, and was caught
between third and home after much
tossing of the ball.
Brooklyn Ties in Fifth
Brooklyn succeeded in tieing the
count in the fifth, when Toney again
lost control. Myers got a pass, ana
when a speedy curve got away from
Wingo sped on 70 third. Stengel was
out, Shean to Chase, but Myers easily
scored.
Galore saved his own scalp in the
eighth, after he committed a wild
pitch. Toney fouled 70 Miller, but
Groh singled and went to second on
the play when Hickman played wFh
the bail. Galore here let loose a
wild pitch, but quick retrieving oy
Miller to Galore nailed Groh at the
home plate. ..,,,
Eddie Roush opened the ninth with
n single and went TO second wnen
Cutshaw threw out Chase. Magee fol-
lowed with a safety to centre, scoring
Roush. Shean hit safely and Wingo
was purposely walked, filing the
bases, but Toney ended matters with
hard drive 70 Galore, who touched
Naeee running home.
Zach Wheat got back into the game
in Brookly1's half when he batted for
Galore. However, the swatter was
not himself, and was an easy victim
for Groh. Johnston fouled weakly to
Winco. and as has been frequently
witnessed, Daubert hit safely with TWO
out. Toney then used all MS reserTe
speed on Hy Myers, with the result
that the latter was strike-out victim
The score follows:
