Grimes Driven
From the Box
In lst Inning
Mamaux Sent to the Rescue
by Uncle Wilbert, but
Too Late to Save Game

One big inning, the first, proved
enough for the Boston Braves to de-
feat the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn, yesterday. The score
was to 4 In this opening frame,
the Hub batters collected all their six
runs on as many hits, one error and
two passes from Burleigh Grimes.
Thereafter. until the ninth, however,
not one of the Boston men who sue
ceeded in reaching first was able to
advance to second
Burleigh Grimes opened on the
treatment he received showed that he
had not yet recovered from his recent
operation for tonsillitis. 1t was
Grimes's first start in month and he
lacked both effectiveness and control.
AL Mamaux relieved Grimes with two
down and six runs over the plate to end
the Dodgers nightmare by striking out
Rawlings. Mamaux held sway for six
more innings, allowing two infeld hits
and one. outfeld blow, to be relieved
by Sherrod Smith in the eighth. In
all the Braves were credited with ten
hits
Demaree Under Strain
Steamer AL Demaree, the artist
ings, but then the hard strain began to
tell on him. For the remainder of the
game he was in hot water often, and
1T was his superb support at critical
moments that saved his scalp. In both
the seventh and the eighth Brooklyn
managed to stage rallies, but both fell
short. Hy Myers and Jimmy John
ston made three each of the Dodgers
ten safeties, while Ivy Olson hit to
the centre field exit for home rum
Grimes had little difficulty in dis
posing Of Riggert in the opening inning
by, forcing him to hit an easy fly to
lowed in rapid sequence. Rawlings
and Powell both hit safely to right and
scampered home on long two-base
drive by Cruise to centre. Grimes
failed to handle Hy Myers's return
cleanly, with the result that Cruise
reached third base. Holke followed
with a hard drive through Konetchy,
scoring Cruise.
The agony then stopped momentarily
when Boeckel hit a bounder to Grimes
to be tossed out at first. Maranville
worried Grimes for pass and scored
soon after when Hank Gowdy hit to
surprised all hands by singing to right
field, scoring Gowdy. Grimes then
passed Riggert, whereupon Manager
Robinson called him off the mound.
Johnston pulled down Boston's lead
by run when he tripled in Brook
lyn's half of the first to tally on Crit
fith's sacrifice fly to centre Myers
began the second with hit to centre
and Konetchy knocked fly to, Powell
in right field. The latter dropped the
ball, but managed to recover it in
fO
Demaree then worked along smoothly,
as did Mamaux, who had the Braves
breaking their backs to connect with
his speedy offerings.
Fans Clamor for Rally
The fans ran rampant in the sixth
when they yelled for a batting rally
after Olson had hit for q homer. John
ston aided matters by walking to first,
but Griffith flied out to centre Wheat
hit the first ball into right field for
single, chasing Johnston to third.
Myers and Konetchy also followed with
singles, scoring Johnston and Wheat.
Pete Ki6uff, who had succeeded Chuck
Ward at third, ended matters with a
foul fly to Boeckel. In the seventh
and eighth four Dodger hits went to
waste, as a timely blow was not forth
coming to turn them into runs
Boeckel reached second in the ninth
on an error by Johnston and Smiths
pass to Maranville. Both runners ad-
vanced base on Gowdy's sacrifice. but
Johnston redeemed himself by tossing
out Boeckel at home, while Rigcert
ended the inning with a high fly to
Wheat.
Charlie Ebbets jr.. the Brooklyn
clubs secretary, announced that Ar
thur f. Ford who had tossed base
ball around in the grandstand ct last

suspended sentence on Ford, but placed
him en- probation for one year.
