hits and issued only one pass,
1t was the farewell appearance OF the
Dodgers, who open a road series In
Philadelphia to-day, and the ignominy of
being held scoreless for twenty innings
was the only thing Robbie's boys left
the Fiatbush fans to remember them by.
The twin kalsomining left Brooklyn with
a record of six defeats Out OF ten games
on the home grounds.
The twiriing OF Al Mamaux In the
opening game was the lone patch of

Mamaux in the duel for the three runs
the Cubs bagged in the eleventh inning
were usered In on an error by Myers.
Mamaux held the Cubs to six hits and
did not allow an earned run.
