Flatbush Squire. Not even the shadow
of the hoose-gow the Squire and
Robbie, it appears, are both in the tolls

of the pills. The parting shot handed
the ex-champions by the real cham
pons was of to 3 dimensions and
gave the fourth victory to the Flatbush
Fusiliers of a siX-game series.
The champs dropped into rather
soft spot on the Quakers' getaway. Pat
Moran nominated Oeschger, who seems
about as unhandy as his name every
time he faces Brooklyn. The Robins
gave this sinewy subject Of Sleepy
Town a real FASTING through the first
five innings. For the second time dur
ing the series the ancient and honor
able Chippewa Chief, Alfred Bender,
had to be rushed to Oeschger's succor.
The game was lost by that time. But
to ease the sting or Oeschger the
Dodgers showed no respect Cor Ben
der's senility. They pasted him, too.
Four years ago the Dodgers might not
have taken such liberties with the red
skins fast ball. But, then, four years
ago the Dodgers were not champs, as
they may not be four years hence.

victory. He hit the shower bath rlgnt
on the heels of Oeschger, but TOR ar

stuff on the ball he couldn't control Il.

wildness the rotund Robinson allowed
himself 20 be ruffled by extreme unc-
