ROBINS DEFEATED
 AGAIN BY RED SOX,
Babe" Ruth'S Homer With Bases
 Clogged, Aids in Victory

Hx9 S$sI&7: Ark, March 25.-The Dodgers were beaten again by the
 Red Sox yesterday, or rather Babe
 Ruth defeated them for the second
 time in eight days. It was the big bludgeon of the husky pitcher that
 again rendered Brooklyn's entry in
 the National League race hors de combat. A home run of his in the third inning with each bag loaded broke up the Dodger line of defense and incidentally wrecked their hopes. The score was to 1.
 The Dodgers were outhit II to 8,
 but on the defensive were 8 trifis more steady, with two errors against three for the Red Sox. This did not indicate anything. as the Red Sox were the superior team In every other respect.
 As at present constituted the Rob 1ns are not much of a ball club. They need assistance if they are to cut a
 figure in the championship. Boston
 started on the road to victory in the third inning, which Carl Mays opened with a single to center. Hooper doubled to the same territory and. was held at third by the fast fielding of Jimmie Johnston.
 Hi Myers lost Scott's easy fly, Mays scoring and Scott reaching second on throw in. Strunk was walked by MamauX and McInnis popped to O'Mara. Hob1itzell received a free ticket to first forcing Hooper home. Ruth then leaned on fast one and eased it over the right center field fence for one of the longest drives ever made at Wilmington Park, Scott, Strunk and Hoblitzeu preced- ing Babe across the plate.
 Score Again in Eighth. The Red Sox's other run came fn the eighth inning. Hooper doubled 1 to center off Jack Coombs, and was forced at third by Scott. On the hit
 and run, Scott reached second on Strunk's single to left McInnis was deadheaded, and Scott tailed on ! passed ball The Robins lone counter material
 ized in the sixth round Miller beat l out a hit to McInnis and was forced { by Marquard. Olson fouled out [ to Agnew, O'Mara doubled to center.
 Marquard ambling to third. Scott ] threw high to Hoblitzell, and Daubert reached first in safety, Marquard ' scoring
 Bases on balls figured as usual in
 the scoring of the Dodgers rivals. Brooklyn pitchers cannot overcome 1 this habit. They showed nothing of 1 twirling art which was accounted for { by the fact that none of the three 1 Manager Robinson worked today was i keyed up to concert pitch.
 Marquard was best. He performed i the feat of the afternoon by making ] Ruth fan on three pitched balls. ! Babe was crossed on low ball. l Ruth's arm Is in good shape. He al- 1 lowed three hits in three innings. l Mays underhand delivery was puz- 1 zlng to the Dodgers, who collected only five bingles in as many innings. O'Mara was the hitting star of the
 Brooklyns with two doubles. He
 also fielded his position we'll, al-
 though charged with an error. Hoop CT had three hits in five times up.
