Down East among the horsemen there
, is an old adage, THE hotter the day the
hotter the racing" Paraphraslng the
old turf axiom and giving It baseball
! twist. "The hotter the day the hotter
the hitting holds Just as true. Leon
Galore. erstwhie Lieutenant in Col. Bill
Hayward's regiment and Jess Barnes
win attest TO the truth of It. So will The
| $4,000 fans In whose ears the roar OF
base hits rang at Ebbets Field yesterday.
In six innings of the first game of the
| double header the Giants fell upon Ca
dore for ten solid swats. including n
triple by Chase and double by
| Heinie Zimmerman. The barrage the
former officer in New Yorks BLACK
Watch" was submitted to netted tho
Giants four runs and sewed UP the
| game, 1 to 2.
The failing the Giant sluggers gave
Galore in the first game was as nothing
compared to the brutal beating the
Dodgers handed to Jess Barnes In the
second contest Led by Tommy Griffith
who went stark mad with the heat and
blazed out five hits, including a double
and a homer with the bases full, the
Dodgers punched and pummelled eigh-
teen healthy bingles off the New York
newly wed. Included in the Brooklyn
hit harvest was a whole flock of extra
base clouts. The terrific bombardment
, of Barnes gave tho Dodgers a Q to 3
victory and even break on the day.
Toney Is Effective.
While Galore was being kept under a
merciless fire in the first game big Fred
Toney was bowling over the Brooklyns,
| setting the Dodgers down with five seal t
| tered hits. Clarence Mitchell dispelled
4 Toney's shutout dreams by batting for
| Galore in the sixth and landing on the
first ball Fred pitched to him for home
run drive over the right field wall John
ston forced Olson, who had singled in the
| eighth, and Jimmy came home with
| Brooklyns other run on a two base nun
| by Baird. who went to second for the
| Giants after Larry Doyle had kicked
| himself out OF the fray for the day in the
! seventh.
Mitchell opposed Barnes in the second
| game and turned the Giants back with
seven hits. several of them scratches
Chases single and steal. a pass to Con
zales, scratch hit by Barnes and a
/ pass to Burns forced Chase in with a
run in the third frame. Gonzales scored
n minute later on Fletchers sacrifice fly
to Grlffith. Chase's double and Con
zales's timely thump gave tho Giants
their other run in the seventh.
Big Day for Hal Chase.
Chase had a gala day at the bat. He
got a single, double and triple in three
times up in the first game and added n
single and 4 double in three times UP in
the second. Malone spoiled a perfect day
for Hal by throwing him out in the
ninth canto OF the second game.
| Each team was without the services
of its regular second baseman in the
second game and the Dodgers for both
games. Schmandt was called TO ST.
Louis yesterday on account OF the death
OF his grandfather. Jimmy Johnston,
who filled in at second for Ray, played
u sclntillating game. His sensational
afternoon.
Pep Young patrolled his regular beat
in the first game. but still feels the ef-
fects Of his recent collision with Kauf
and McGraw gave him a rest in the Sec
ond game, filling in with King. Lee
started the game in right field, but
changed places with Burns in the third
inning, George going to the sun field.
Chase tripled to left in the second in
ming OF the first game and McCarty
singled him home. Zimmerman's double.
Chase's sacrifice and Miller's dropped
throw on Zimmerman's attempted steal
home gave the Giants another run in the
fourth. Fetcher's safe hunt. fielder s
choice and Kauff's single manufactured
a tally in the fifth and Chase's single,
Wheat's boot, an infield out and Toney' s
sacrifice fly added another run in the
sixth.

the middle gave the Dodgers three runs

in the sixth on Konetchys triple and
krueger's single. Griffith doubled in the
seventh and was singled home by Wheat.
