Only Five Visitors Reach
First Base ON Fine Pitch
ing of Sherrod Smith

Sherrod Smith gladdencd the hearts
of 10000 Brooklyn rooters when he
shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates in the
final game of the series at Ebbets
Field yesterday. The score was to O..
1t was Sherry's first performance since
his return from a years duty in
France, and his exhibition of allowing
the Pirates only three scattered hits
gives Wilbert Robinson another worthy
pitcher.
Only five of Hugo Bezdek's men
reached first base and one managed to
get as far as third through the aid of
an error Bigbee collected the first
safety from Smith in the third, and
Cutshaw gathered the other two, one
being single to centre in the fourth
and the other hit to right in the
seventh. Pittsburgh had only one
chance to score, when Bigbee reached
third with two down in the third, but
Olsen killed the Pirates hopes by toss
ing out Terry.
The Dodgers had one big inning, the
third, and they made it rather warm
for Earl Hamilton, the Pittsburgh
twirler, during this frame Hy Myers
was a big aid in the rally with a pow
erful triple to the right field fence
that cleared the bases of three Brook
lyn batters. Brooklyn collected seven
hits from Hamilton and Konetchy made
the total eight when he pounded out
double in the eighth off Evans, who
had succeeded Hamilton at the begin
ming of the inning.
Smith did not open the third any too
auspicously by popping to Boeckel.
Olsen then got a life when Bigbee
dropped his fly in centre field, and
Magee followed with rap to right
that chased Olsen to third. Griffith
then hit bounder back of the pitchers
box, and as Cutshaw juggled the ball
the runner was safe. Olsen scored and
Magee reached third. Wheat was
passed, filling the bases. Myers tripled
to right, chasing his three mates home
Konetchy then drove a long sacrifice
fly to centre, on which Myers scored
and the inning ended when Schmandt
was out at first

Ritola Victor
In Five Mile
Handicap Race
Bohland Wins Fast Time
Prize From Field of l25
Starters i'm BROOKLYN

William Ritola, of the Finnish
American Athletic Club, led a hopeless
chase for 125 other rivals in easilv
winning the individual honors in the
annual handicap five-mle road run
of the Kings County Athletic AS
sociation held through the streets of
the Bushwick section of BROOKLYN YES
terday. The victor had a winning
margin Of almost rs yards at the
finish. Harry Prim, clubmate, was
second. Jimmy Brooks, Mohawk Ath-
letlc Club, from the :45 mark finished
third.
Ritola blazed the trail from the
start, and at no time was in danger
of being passed. For the first two
miles he had close. companionship in
Joe Sherman, Kings County A. A., and
Hughie Carroll, Brooklyn A. A., but
these boys could not stand the test
when the crucial point arrived. Both
thereafter and finished in the ruck.
The fight for the fast time prize
and team honors was keen throughout
and the struggle was decided by
close margin. Max Bohland, Paulst
Athletic Club, was the fast time win
ner, finishing in twenty posi-
tion from scratch in 25:54. Andy
Craw and Louis Kaufman, both of the
Brooklyn A. A., were next in order.
The team honors went to the Mohawk
Athletic Club with SO points, three
points more than the total of the
nish-American A. G. and the Brook
yn A. A., which were deadlocked for
second place. But first position went
to the Finnish organization, as it was
represented by the first runner over
the finish line.

Despite the fact that the Giants
we're playing the Cardinals, and not
ball club, $4,000 of the merbidly cu-
rous came to the Polo Grounds to
witness the perpetration of various
cruelties upon the visitors. Don
Miguel Gonzales. the new Giant
catcher. worked behind the bat, making
his debut as Giant. The Cuban did
not get himself a hit. but he gave evil
.dence that he has the range oh seeend
! Laughing Larry Doyle, who Is nurs-
sing bump on his scence, which Was
placed there by Oscar Tuero. the feeefi-
structed reconcentrado who won the
ball game for the Cards yesterday, did
not perform. Larry, who has more of
the wherewithal to sustain headache
than the average ball player, still had
headache In the. place where Tuere
beaned him. He cavorted about In
practice. but was relieved by AL Baird
when the Cards began to bare their
swanlke necks for the axes.
Errors Produce Run
Cecil Algernon Causey started his
sixth straight victory by making mo-
..tions that resembled one of these me-
hit games. But Smith and Bteeh
Spoiled his chances of getting that rib
shon. The lone run that the Cardinals
hung an was due to base on balls
and errors on the part of Causey him
+ self and of Heinie Zimmerman.
Goodwin, who started for the Calam-
4 'tous Cardinals, got his mostly In the
sixth inning. Ross Young started the
dash by bouncing hit through Stock.
hal Chase followed this up with hit
TO left. Baird substituting fer Laugh
d. ing Larry, shot single to right and
Young scoI ed.
At this juncture Bashful Benjamin
. kauff stepped up with ene bat and
> cluster of horseshees. Benjamin put
one where Stock could not reach 1t,
and ii went for two bases, scoring
Chase. Zimmerman bounced one over
Goodwn's head and scored Baird.
( kauif came homo on Fletcher's fly to
centre field. After this the Giant
Tank was backed right inte the stable
sor the afternoon.
Up to that ninth inning the score
was tied. To the great delight of
representative gathering from The
Bronx. IIeinie Zimmerman hit the
first bali offered to him by Goodwin In
. the second inning right into the right
field stands. 1t wasnt lebbed Into
this place either. 1t was driven inte
> the stand as though 1t had been pre-
PEELED By charge Of TINT.
Cardinals Tie seere
81 The Cardinals tied 1t UP In the third,
swhen Clemons got his base on balls
&hnd came all the way around OH the
Terrora Of Causey and Zimmerman.
S@.until the sixth inning it began to look
Ike a regularly scheduled baseball
game, but McGraw ran cut the
Giant Tank with the resulting eruelties
mentioned above.
Bashful Benjamin Kauff sustained
painful injury at the hands IF Jake
May, who relieved Goodwin In the
eighth. The injury, however, will net
keep Mr.. Kauff out of the game for
he was stuck in that portion of his
typography where 1t would be impes-
ssnible to keep him sitting on the bench
The fact that Cecil Aigernen Causey
disposed of the Cardinals does net
mean much. but the additional fact that
@ss was his sixth straight victory ought
go relieve slightly the dependency
Which has prevailed ever the pitching
staff of the Giants, The Pittsburgh
Pirates, who arrive to-day, ought te
rive the Giants mere serious work
