a, The weeping heavens yesterday post
poned the leaks long enough to allow the
Dodgers to beat the Pirates. 6 to 4. Ivy
Olson to win a hat and Casey Stengel to
lose one, the Braves to beat the Reds
and the Dodgers to move back In their
old apartment next TO the top floor In
the National League. Even the deluge
oftrain last evening couldn't prevent II
being the end of perfect day in the
good old Borough OF Brooklyn.
eS1f Stengel hadn't been so anxious to
Josh his old brooklyn mateys before the
game Casey might not have been out
new straw top piece and there might
have. been a different tale to tell. But
bnbbling Casey insisted on telling the
dodgers what a great player he was apd
how many hits and runs he was going
to- make at their expense.
Whereupon Ivy Olson, who refuses TO
lot anyone walk around with chip on
HE shoulder. snapped: what hav6you
got to say that you make your old bat
talk louder than mine to-day? Betcha
anything from a straw hat to a yellow
hack make more hits than your
x."Ha Ha ! Ha !" roared Stengel ap-
parently. thinking he had tame prey.
you're on, Ivy. You need all the yell
lew backs you've. got I'll let you OF
easy Wen make II a straw hat.
e.6 'sDonei" barlsed back Olson.
Jr"You're done, all rightp' boosted
Stengel. 'T never expected to get a
straw lid so easy in my life"
- Ivy Outbats Casey.
= But If stengel had to depend on Olson
for something to cover his blonde thatch
Casey would have to go bareheaded all
summer. Ivy outbatted Casey 500 to
1888. Olson got roaring double and n
tornado triple to stengel's dinky little
bunt.
1t was owing to Olson's brilliant all
around playing that Brooklyn won. or
the sig Brooklyn markers Ivy scored two
and drove in two. He played a splendid
game on the defence, taking care Of nine
chances faultlessly .. 49,.
Just as in Fridays game It was one
big inning that gave Brooklyn the VIC
tors spoils. On account of the threat
ening rain the Dodgers staged Their
usual eighth or ninth inning rally in
the fourth Before Babe Adams could
be rushed to the rescue of Erskine Mayer
in the fourth the Dodgers had nicked
Erskine for three singles and a triple
overcame Pittsburg's two run lead by
pushing four markers across the plate
and planted even another run on third.
Grimes Gets Poor SUPPORT.
Grimes yielded seven hits, the same
number the Dodgers harvested. Bur-
leigh was shaky at the start but tight
ened up as the game progressed. Bur-
leigh's support was poor and his mates
kept getting him in holes. Ray Sch
mandt. with only two games at second
base under his belt, still lacks steadinese
under fire. He committed three mis-
demeanorS. Two Pittsburg runs were
made responsible through Rays blunders
Ray helped get one Of them back with
timely thump in the fierce fifth inning
Brooklyn bombardment.
As in Fridays game the Dodgers
spotted the Pirates a pair OF runs right
Off the reel in the opening inning. Minor
league baseball by Brooklyn was re-
sponsible for the two Pittsburg tallies
Grimes was shaky. his defense worse
and Kruger let the Corsairs run wild
on the bases
Bigbee pried off the lid with a single
to centre and took second on Terry's in
field out. Bigbee stole third standing
up. Stengel walked. Southworth shot
a pretty one between Konetchy and
Schmandt Into right, registering Bigbee.
As Cutshaw famed, Stengel and South
worth worked a double steal. Casey pill
fering third and Bill second. Grimes
purposely passed Safer to take a chance
on Boeckel, filling the bases Schmandt
gummed the works by fumbling
,Boeckel's easy grounder, STENCIL scor-
ing. Southworth also attempted to reg
lister on the DOODLE, but persisted at the
plate. Schmandt to Olson to Kruger.
Hy Myers's Great Catch.
The Pirates added another run in the
third on Stengels safe bunt, passes to
Eutshaw and Safer and Boeckeps long
s4crifce Gy to Myers. Hy made a re-
markable running catch Of Boeckel't
tifump, which bore all the earmarks OF
u homer. In Brooklyn's half of the third
tho Dodgers got one run back when
Olson doubled past third and came the
rest of the way on the infield outs OF
Magee and Konetchy.
Mayer dropped Saiers toss on Myers's
hunt at the start OF the fifth. giving
Hy life and paving the way for the
fireworks. The powerful hitting Ko-
netchy famed, but Schmandt launched
the Dodgers OF with drive to right
that put Myers on third. Kruger fol-
lowed with a lash to left that registered
Hy. Grimes tied the score with a thumI
10 starboard that pushed Schmandt
homo and put Ernie on third.
Then Olson broke up the old game
with n drive high over Bigbee's head In
left centre for three bases, registered
Ernie and Burleigh. Adams supplanted
Mayer In the box. Aiagee sent sacri-
fee fly to Stengel, scoring Olson Then
Griffith filed to Bigbee.
The Pirates bagged run in the sixth
on cutshaw's infield hit and errors by
Magee and Schmandt. Grimes turned
the Corsairs back scoreless in the last
three frames. The score:
