Pfeffer Pitches Dodgers
To Victory Over Braves
Lew Malone Makes Debut
Auspicious by Driving
In First Rum of Came
By Charles A. TAYLOR

The rejuvenated Brooklyn Dodgers
brought broad smile to the ruddy
face of Squire Ebbets Of Flatbush yes
terday afternoon when they opened
their home season by scoring shut
out victory over the Boston cx-Braves.
The count was 8 to O.
The smile of the squire would have
been broader if, instead of 1000 fans on
hand to cheer, there had been 1900,
and the score in favor of Flatbush would
have been larger if there had not been
a certain umpire by the name of Moran
calling the turn at first base. Mr.
Moran had good eye for second base,
but somehow or other after the first
half of a prospective double play had
been completed he lost his eyesight.
But the big achievement of winning
the old ball game put far into the dis
card the surprising dearth in attend
ance and the glaring arbitrarial faults
of Mr.. Moran. 1t was a grand day for
Flatbush Just the same, and there is
and eats breakfast there before he gets
on his job IN Manhattan who isn't will
ing to bet a high priced soda on the
Robins to win the old flag once more.
The ceremonies halted by Old In
clement Weather the day before were
performed faithfully yesterday, and it
was, indeed, an imposing array of ball
tossers that spread themselves from
home plate to first and to third as
George Lindequist, the veteran q flag
raiser, hoisted the Star Spangled Ban
ner to the Flatbush breezes.
George boasts that he has never ca
flummixed such an occasion in the
twenty odd years he has been on his
job. The halyards, according to George,
sometimes become twisted with so
much at stake, and a sensational
feature of an opening day programme
is thereby marred just when the band
is ready to blare forth the music to
the idea. George was there yesterday
The spirit of Monsieur Lirdequist
was imbibed in copious drafts by
jeff Pfeffer, who was selected by Uncle
Wilbert from his bursting sack of
pitchers to make the Flatbushers for
get that such a team as the Yankees, re-
cent guests, had ever visited their sub
urb. jeff pitched a beautiful game.
Only four times did the bats of the
Stallings boys connect safely with the
slants Of Big JEFF. And, odd to relate.
it was the club of Dick Rudolph, for
merly of The Bronx, but now a COM
muter from West Nyack, that struck
the only blow of the four that netted
an extra base. Dick got two-bagger
in the third.
But in order to win ball game runs
must be scored, and inasmuch as the
Dodgers did what the other fellows
failed to do, the how and when must
be described. And here we come to a
name hitherto unsung in baseball lore,
one Lew Malone. Three years ago
Uncle Robbie grabbed this boy from
the Minnesota bushes and fed him the
waters at Hot Springs. Lew was prom

Young, who reached first by forcing

Young, who reached first by forcing
Burns. The Giants got two more in
the sixth, when Sticking singled with
one out. Barnes set him on with a
single to right. George Burns drove
them both home with two-bagger to
left
Young started proceedings for the
final Giant run by doubling into right
field. King was sent in to run for him
and got to third on Chases out. He
scored on Bairds sacrifice fly.
Baird, of Philadelphia, scored the
first of the two Phille runs in the
fifth by doubling to left The eager
ness of Benny Kauff was responsible
Tor the run and the only error of the
Giants. Benny was trying to field
clean hit by Whtted bit feverishly
and the ball went by him letting Baird
come home
The other run came in the ninth
after most of the spectators had left
convinced that the Giants chances for
pennant this year were never brighter.
Luderus started it with a single and
Meusel also hit. Baird was passed and
filled the bases. After Raymond had
forced Luderus at the plate Meusel
scored when Smith threw to first in an
attempt to double up Raymond.

Wladek Zbyszko. hailed the champion

feated Ivan Linow, the Russian Cos

catch-can in the armory of the Second
Field Artillery, 166th street and Frank

minutes and ffty-three seconds of
strenuous work on the mat. Just be-
fore the finish the giant Pole picked
Iinow up bodily and threw him over
his head, to pounce on him and ninion
him with a double arm lock.
So heavy was the fall that Iinow
lay motionless after striking the MAJ
and it was fully five minutes before he
could be revived sufficiently TO leaye
the stage. Before the dramatic eod-
ing of the match Linow had obtained
two dangerous toe holds on ZvhsvAo'

De Orc in Danger

That Alfredo De Orc, three cushion
billiard champion Of the world, is in
danger Of losing his title was demon
strated at the Fxiars Club on Thursday
night, in the first session Of the cham
pion's match with Robert Cannefax,
the challenger.
After both had alternated In the
lead, Cannefax started brilliant ses-
sion of scoring and finished out his
string Of so points while the champion
was gathering 4S. AS the challenger,
who formerly held the title, is slow
starter usually, he is figured to be ex-
ceed'ngiy dangerous this time. The
second block Of points was played last
night and the match will be finished
tonight.

Russell, indeed, was entitled to more
He was entitled to shutout. But for
wild throw by Muddy Ruel. who at
tempted to pick 81 base runner oF
third, the minions of Barrow would
have been forced to submit to shut
out Had this game, which WAS strict
ly satisfactory from a scientific stand
point, been perfectly executed by both
sides it still would have favored the
visitors, 2 to 0. In a word. New York
earned two runs; the SoX earned none.
Such form as Russell displayed to
day is bound to assure him a regulal
turn irrespective of the wealth of
numbers Higgins may be able to mus
ter. This young man for the last sev-
eral years had fallen short of real
greatness through one weakness
pinches. He always had the "stufp
in baseball parlance; fine speed, a good
curve, a tantalizing splitter and
battling change of pace.
He had to be at his best to-day for
Jones was good. Unfortunately for
Sammy, he lacked his customary con
troll. Wildness put him in the hole at
the very start and wildness further
complicated his case. Two passes in
succession forced in the opening run
Of the first inning. Russell pitched
the kind Of ball that would have made
the sole tally enough with fautless
support.
Little Sam Wick, who Is fast winning
home for himself in the heart of the
Midget Manager, and old reliable
Home Run Baker, aside from Russell.
Of course, were chiefly instrumental in
the general uplift of the Yanks Sam
my got in two lusty Iicks, one Of which
accounted for runy J. Franklin
smashed out q double that helped to
the clinching tally.
After Wick bunted out in the first
inning Peck and Pipp (who had heard
terdays run in with Umpire Tom Con
nolly), singled in quick order Jones
refused to gamble with Baker This
filled the bases. But Sammy couldnt
get the ball over to Pratt and the re-
sulting pass forced Peckinpaugh home
with the first run of the game. Duffy
Lewis hit into double play Another
followed quickly in the second, due
directly to Jones's wild throw on Ruel
with one out. Russell, an exceptionallv
clever bunter. sacrificed neatly. Wick

throw in
From here to the seventh there was
plenty of action in the line of high
class fielding and superb pitching, bur
little to raise hopes on either side Of
run accumulations. Scott doubled with
only one down in the second half Of
the second. Pratt singled with one out
in the sixth. Neither was advanced
In Boston's seventh the locals broke
through for their only run. With one
out, Scott singled to centre and Wal
ters walked. Jones forced Walters.
Pipp to Peckinpaugh, but on the out
Scott reached third. A moment liter
when Ruel tried to catch the runnes
mapping off the base, his throw hit
Scott in the back. The ball bounded
away from Baker, so that the short
stop was able to save his mates the
ignominy of a shut-out
In New York's eighth Pipp forced
Peckinpaugh, who had walked Walter
reached third OH Bakers double to
right and scored on Pratt1s long fly
to Hooper.
In Boston's half Of the ninth Scott
singled with only one out Schlang

for Jones. Russell struck out both of
these pinch hitters.
