Dodgers and Pirates Tied
After q 13-Inning Battle
Hitting of Hi Myers Saves
Flatbush Nine From
Meeting Defeat
By Charles A. Taylor

George Cutshaw and Ill Myers were
responsible for the fact that the base
ball game between the Dodgers and the
Pirates at Ebbets Field yesterday al
ternoon went thirteen innings and re-
suited in a tie, at to 3.
Upon George and Hi also must rest
the blame for the late dinners inflicted
upon the few gross of fans present at
the pastime, and who were saved from
further agony by Umpire Bill Klein
when he called the game on account OF
darkness. II isn't often that umplres
get such an ovation as Bill aid when III
his stentorian tones he shouted
Enough"
The aforementioned Cutshaw, by a
careless throw, prevented jeff Prefer
from mastering Bob Steele in keen
pitching duel by score OF ! to U. Ill
MYERS, with the visiting Buccaneers two
runs in the lead in the tenth inning,
poled a triple to left field that resulted
in the Dodgers overcoming the advan-
tage gained by their opponents. FROM
this time on the game was a deadlock
Paragraph for Myers
Iii Myers deserves another paragraph
all TO himself by reason Of his hve hlts
in six times at bat, the last or when
was the deadly triple. In his sixth ap-
pearance at the plate Hi responded to
the loud acclaims of the fans for yet
another safe blow by driving a savage
grounder over second, which Ward by
a brilliant play turned from hit into
an out.
MANY spectacular performances in
the field aside from this gem OF Wards
brought appreciative cheers from the
onlookers. The work of Ray Miller, the
new Pirate first baseman, who is being
croomed 70 take the place Of old Hans
Wagner when a highlander IS in the
box. was of the cleverest sort, and
many a wild throw did he gather in 20
save his mates from errors. To Inn
also goes the distinction OF making the
first hit off Pfefer, when it appeared
as though Big JEFF would come through
with a hitlcss game.
The Dodgers were the first 20 score.
In the sixth inning the omnIprosent
Myers singled 20 left. Casey StenGel
beat out an infeld hit. Johnston sac
rifced, Fischer 10 Pitier, Myers gong
20 third and Stengel 70 second. Cut
shaw sent a long fly TO Bigoee IN ri&Gt
and Myers crossed the plate by an able
slide. O'Rourke walked and stole sec
ond. Otto Miller drove the bal! far
into left field, where Jackson made a
marvellous one-handed running catch.
The Pirates tied the score in the sew
ertn inning, thanks TO Cutshaw. Prefer
tossed out Bigbee, but Carey beat a
hunt Boeckel sent a Texas Lacquer
into left, Carey pulling up at second.
Ward hit sharply 20 Olson, who tossed
70 Cutshaw, forcing out Boeckel, and
I'M an attempt 20 complete an easy dou-
bic plav Cutshaw threw wildly 70 hrst
and Carey raced home. Olson threw
out Ray Miller.
