Bunched Hits Of Rube
Helps Packard to Land
Close Contest

A battle OF left-handers went twelve
innings at Ebbets Field yesterday
afternoon. terminating in victory for
Eugene Packard over Richard Mar
guard. The score was st. Louis 4,
Brooklyn g. Packard was hit consider
ably harder than the Rube, but the
Cardinals punched their hits to better
advantage.
Rogers Hornsby opened the twelfth
with a looping single to right field and
was sacrificed along by McHenry. Ivan
Olson made great play on Herman
Bronkies bid for hit near second
and got his man at first, Hornsby skip
ping to third. Bruno Bethel, who had
delivered timely hit in the runful St.
Louis fourth, laid single in centre
and Hornsby crossed with the winning
tally.
The Dodgers essayed batting bee
in the second inning. 1t produced two
runs, but ended mserablv. Zach Wheat
led off with a tap to Paulette, who
had the simplest sort of a chance. but
fooled perfect hop, and Wheat beat
y.
there were only about 300 fans in the
stands, bold official home scoring gave
Zach hit on the bobble, and repeate
ths performance on an exact duplicate
bounder similarly misplayed In the
very next frame.
O'Mara Scores Wheat
But to return to the second. O'Mara
sent Wheat home with double down
the left field foul line, which Nc
Henry played poorly. Doolan planted
hit in right, O'Mara being held at
third. Otto Miller, first basing in Dau-
bert's stead, scored O'Mara and put
Doolan on second with single to CEN
tire. Mack Wheat beat out bunt, fill
ing the bases. Marquard chopped to
Hornsby, who cut down Doolan at the
play, Packard to Gonzales to Paulette.
St. Louis forged ahead in the fourth
after Fisher popped to Olson. Paulette
got life on Doolan's low throw. fol-
lowing q corking stop behind second.
IIornsby elevated to Myers. but NC
Henry beat out a tap in front of the
plate, Paulette going to second. Pau
lette scored on Bronkie's hit to left and
McHenry trailed Gene home, and Bron-
throw to the plate got by brother
Mack. Betzel's single to left drove
Bronkie home with the third Cardinal
marker, but the outfielding in6elder
was out after negotiating a delayed
stca: when he overslid second.
Myers, first up in the Brooklyn sixth,
lined to centre, and when Heathcote,
misjudginE the drive, dashed in the ball
sailed over his head and rolled to the
most remote corner of the field for
home run, which tied the score.
Singles by Marquard and Johnston
after one was out in the Brooklyn
seventh availed nothing when Olson
lifted to Hornsby and Fisher tossed
out Myers. Mack Wheat singled with
one down in the last of the ninth, but
Marquard raped to Fisher, who tagged
Wheat on the baseline and threw to
Paulette to complete the two-ply elimi-
nation.
Infeld hits by Heathcote and Fisher
in the eighth came after two were out
and Pau]ette popped to O'Mara. Other
wise Marquard was not hit safely from
the fourth to the fatal twelfth and the
only other Cardinal to reach base was
Fisher, who walked to start the sixth,
but was doubled up with Paulette on
the latter's rap to O'Mara.
Leads Off in Tenth
Johnston led off in the tenth with
hit that bounded high over Bronkie
and went to second on Olson's infeld
out. Myers skied to Paulette and Zach
! Wheat was passed on orders. O'Mara
hoisted to Heathcote for the third out.
Packard, who was most effective in
the pinches after the second inning, re-
tired the Dodgers in order in the
eleventh and twelfth, among them be-
ing Jimmy Archer, the famous old
Cub catcher, who swung for Marquard
in the last half inning and drove fierce
ly to Hornsby, who turned a rattling
good play.
