smash was good for three bases. bus
he was cut down at third on a relav
from Massey to Rawlings to Smith.
Fans Jeer Red Smith
The Flatbush fans took the ke.n..s
delight in picking on Red Smith. who
for several years played on their own
ball team. Red, it would appear, was
more than little fiustered by the boo
ing he received. for he made two cost.
ly errors and failed to collect a hit n
his four chances.
The Braves were the first to scors
the fourth inning being the time thev
selected for their outbreak. Herzor.
the first man up, banged the ball to
left for his first triple and counted
when Schmandt threw the bali past
Kreuger after fielding PowelI's
grounder. Powell took second on the
blunder, and, with no one out. the out
look for more runs was most promis-
ing. A wonderful throw by Kruger
put damper on the Braves ardor.
The Brooklyn catcher saw that Powell
was taking long lead off second, and
he shot the ball to Olson with such
speed and accuracy that ne nabbed
Powell three feet from the bag.
Konetchy went out Olson to Daubert
and Smith popped to Schmandt.
The Dodgers more than discounted
this run in their half of the fourth
when they broke loose on an old-fash-
Toned batting rampage. Daubert sin-
gled to left field, Herzog making
valiant but vain. effort to shut off the
hit. Myers popped to Henry Nehf
then made a wild pitch, on which Dau-
bert raced all the way to third
Johnston singled between short and
third. tallying Daubert, and then stola
second. Jimmy Hickman drove out a
three-bagger to centre, scoring johns
ston. Schmandt kept up the bombard-'
ment with single to centre, Hickman
counting. Kreuger fouled to Henry
and Rawlings threw out Coombs.
Two More for Dodgers
Brooklyn added two to its tally total
in the sixth. Myers banged a hit at
Red Smith which the latter found too
warm to handle, and Red then aroused
the jeers of the fans by a wild heays
to first, Myers speeding to second.
Johnston bunted safely and Myers
crossed the plate. Smith again made
a wild throw and Johnston reached
second. Hickman sacrificed, pitcher to
first, and Johnston scored on
Schmandt's safety to centre. Kreuger
ended the spasm by hitting into dou-
Bile play, Rawlings to Herzog to
Konetchy.
Old Jack Coombs became a trifa
careless in the eighth, with the result
that the Braves scored twice. With
one man out Schmandt fumbled
Massey's grounder. Herzog laced out
his second triple and Massey walked
home. Coombs hit the screen with q
wild pitch and Herzog tailed. Powell
and Konetchy both flied out to Hick-
man.
The fielding and batting Of Ollia
O'Mara would seem to indicate that
Ollie is determined not to be supS
planted by Hi Myers. when Zach
Wheat returns to bolster up the out1
field. Ollie made a sensational stop Of
Smiths hot grounder in the second.
and In the fifth ran almost to the left-
field bleachers to grab a foul from tho
bat of Rawlings. O'Mara also made
two hits. A long running catch of
Nehf's fly in the eighth by Hi Myers
was another fielding feature Of the
