The Rejuvenated Flatbushers
With Brilliant Fielding
Shut Out Cardinals
By A. c. Cavagnaro

With Leon Cadore, their former club
mate, back for the short stay of week,
the Brooklyn Dodgers played like a
rejuvenated combination at Ebbets
Field yesterday. The appearance on
the mound Of the commissioned soldier
put much needed zest into the Flat
bush contingent. The defence was Of
the highest calibre, while the teams
offence, which had been sadly lacking
Of late, again got into execution. Cadore
is on furlough from the National
Army at Camp Gordon, Ga, and is
scheduled TO twirl again for Boss Eb-
bets Saturday.
Pitching q masterful game, Cadore
shut out The St Louis Cardinals In the
final game Of the series by score Of
to 0. The victory broke the long
spell Of superba defeats. Cadore al
lowed the visitors only four scattered
hits, two Of them Of the intield scratch
variety. St. Louis was stopped at ey-
cry turn, Cadore being conspicuously
aided by the sensational fielding Of
Zach Wheat, Schmandt and Olson.
While Cadore proceeded to fool the
Cards with his deceptive curves. Olson
and Zach Wheat assumed the RESPONSE
bility of leading in the attack. Olson
paved the way for the two runs and
Wheat, again in his batting stride,
drove home both tallies. Schmandt
returned to his position at second
base and handled eleven chances per-
fectly. Otto Miller also showed new
lease of life, killing off FIVE St. Louis
men who had base-stealing tendencies.
Wheat Makes Great Catch
A spectacular running one-hand
catch by Wheat in left centre frus-
trated the only chance the st. Louis
players had to score. Heathcote op-
ened the frame with a single, but Kav-
posed of Gonzales on strikes with four
pitched balls. Smyth batted for Ames
and drove a fast low one to left CEN
tre. Wheat rushed over the wet turf
pell nell and, sticking out his gloved
hand, nipped the ball half a foot from
the ground.
Brooklyn scored its first ruin in the
opening inning before Red Ames had
fairly become familiar with his sur
roundings. Johnson was out, Kava-
nagh to Snyder, but Olson hit through
the pitchers box for a single. He then
stole second. Wheat hit high bounder
over second and while Hornsby and
Kavanagh executed an Alphonse and
CASTOR act as to who should take the
ball Olson scampered home.
Tuero was greeted merrily by the
Dodgers in the eighth inning. Olson
singled sharply to right and Hickman
sacrificed beautifully, Snyder to Kava-
nagh. Wheat then smashed one to left,
scoring Olson.
The score follows.

Columbia~Penn
Game in Tie Is
Stopped byRain

The Columbia a-Pennsylvania game
went to a six-inning tie yesterday
afternoon on South Field and was
called at the beginning of the seventh
because of the rain. Both mines started
the contest in the pink of condition,
Bernhardt, Penn's best twirler, taking
the box for the visitors, and Farrell,
the star pitcher of the Blue and White,
working for Columbia
The quality of the play is shown by
the fact that only two hits were
CLEANED from either boxman in the six
innings, and no batters were walked.
Each side was credited with one error,
caused by the slippery and muddy con-
dition of the field. Bernhardt struck
out five of the Columbia batsmen, and
Farrell was credited with one less.
Neither side was able to bunch hits.
Houlahan's clout to left field was the
only two bagger of the afternoon.
The score follows:

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

We all remember Sidney, the be-
whiskered, saying, "Out Of the frying
pan into the fire." especially those of
US who have tried our hand at cook
ing when Aunt Eleanor was taking the
children to the baseball game Of an
afternoon, and now Joe Mulvihill, the
most prospective promoter on the At
lantic Coast and points East" is hav-
ing his ups and downs with the same
thing.
A couple Of days ago we told you that
Fred "Ferocious" Fulton and Jack
Demon" Dempsey were going to battle
twenty rounds-or less-at the fair
grounds in Danbury, Conn. Hardly
was the Ink dry upon the page the next
morning before John Reisler. the be-
jewelled Barber" Of West Forthwith
Street, cut in on our busy telenhona
wire to say that the fight would NOT
take place, in Danbury or anv nlace
else, until Dempsey had made his peace
with himself, John, the good Barber.
Curse you, Jack Dempsey, nv proud
and NAUGHTY beauty, will foil Won
yeti" Kissed John, or words to that
effect, and then told us a hair-raisinp
narrative Of how he had secured the
promise of certain Danbury dienitaries
that Dempsey would not be allowed
to fight in that there town until Johns
just claims had been duly recognized.
What pity, what P-E-E-T-Yl But
bark! Last night as we drowsed at
the throttle Of our painting mill" came
a courier tiecked with foam and threw
some papers on our desk. "Read that,
