= The humble and lowly Phillies are
beginning to play big league baseball
Whatever the reason for this sudden
change. the fact remains that those
pItied Quaker lads who work for Mr.
Baker are going to prove no soft thing
for any team They showed quite
little class yesterday at Ebbets Field
in trimming the Dodgers by 4-to-2
score.
With the return of Dave Bancroft TO
the game and with peppery Lena Black
burne on third; with Whitted again IN
the outfield and Cy Williams on the job
once more, the Phillies now present
formidable appearance. The pitching
staff is Cravath's biggest problem. and
if he is able to fnd . solution for this
;hc team should climb.
Leon Cadorc, who has been getting
victories regularly Of late for the Dodg.
crs, did the hurting for the Flatbusn
clan yesterday and was rather roughly
treated by the Phillies. The visitors
hit his delivery for eight safe blows
in as many innings; not such a great
number, but they Were we'll punched

Every hit counted in the production of

Dodgers First to Score
Old Cy Williams doubled in the first
inning, but nothing came of it, Brook
/ lyn was the first to score, turning the
trick at the very outset. Olson SINGLED
for starter. Johnston lined to Sick
ing, who threw quickly to double Olson
at first. The throw was wild and Olson
made second on the play.
Tommy Griffith found one to his
liking and leaned on it, sending the
ball far over Whttcds head BY the
time the ball was recovered and re
turned, Griffith and Olson were in with
runs. Zach Wheat flied out and Myers
famed.
Luderus, who made two doubles and
a triple during the fray, contributed
ms first two-bagger in the second in
ming. Whitfield was thrown out bv Kill
duff. Sticking hit for a base and Tragres-
ser walked, filling the bases Smith
took his three swings and sat down,
and then Bancroft tocd the plate
Davy crashed through the infed to
right, scoring Ludcrus and Sticking, but
/ Iragresser was nailed at third on per
feet throw by Griffith.
Jams singled and stole second. A wild
pitch put him on third, whence he tai
lied on Luderus's long drive into centre
field for three bases. Meusel had
popped up to konetchy, and Whitted
afterward lifted to Olson.
The Phlllies' fourth and last run was
made in the sixth frame Meusel sin
gled to right and by fast base running
came home on Luderus's double to left.
Sherrod Smith pitched the last two
innings for Brooklyn.
Konetchy Fails in Pinch
The Dodgers had chance to make
run in the third. Olson singled,
after which Johnston and Griffith were
retired. Smith had trouble pitching to
Zach Wheat and passed him. Myers
also was passed, filing the bases. This
put the issue squarcly up to Konetchy,
but he grounded to Bancroft forcing
Myers at second.
In the seventh the Dodgers had a
better opportunity Malone doubled,
but was thrown out at third by Ban
croft on Mack Wheat's hit to short.
Mitchell batted for Cadorc and hoisted
to Sticking. Olson singled to right,
sending Wheat to third, and then stole
second. Smith was plainly worried
and walked Johnston. Cravath here
issued call for Packard. Gene quickly
ended the inning by tanning Hickman,
who had replaced Griffith when Rob
bic saw a southpaw pitcher taking the
mound.
