Uncle Robbie
Has oChance
To Win Series
Schneider and Shawkey
Nov Down Flatbushers for
Fourth Straight Victory

CoLDsBoRo, N. G.. April 49,
There will be no rubber game IN the
snrins series Of the Yankees and the
nodcers. Before crowd Of 1000
tans here this afternoon the American
1earuers won the game that puts them
hsvond the reach CT Uncle Robbie's
athletes, regardless OF what may hap
men in the remaining games. 1t was
the fourth in row for the Higgins
bovs and their seventh decision over
the National Leaguers in ten games.
The score was to l. a repetition Of
Yesterdays figures at Orangeburg.
The native of Goldsboro who goes
% the Polo Grounds this summer and
sees the Yanks consume two hours
NJ more with some American League
rival probably will marvel at the way
the team has slowed up. In to-day's
affair the pastimers performed as if
they had train to catch for home.
The game went nine complete innings,
as the Dodgers had to take their turn
in the ninth, but only ffty-fve min
utes were consumed. While the game
was going on horse race was being
decided on q half-mile track which
rircled the baseball field
The Dodgers could do no more with
the offerings Of Schneider and Shawkey
than they have been doing with other
Yankee pitchers in recent games
Schneider has been out of the series
with a lame shoulder since the first
yame but he showed no evidence of any
silment to-day. He allowed two singles
and no runs in his five innings, and then
gave way to Bob Shawkey. The latter
allowed four hits and run which was
scored in the last inning.
Not Fault of Rube
Rubs Marquard had to do all the
pitching for the Dodgers, as Uncle Rob
bic is shy Of pitching talent and has
double-header with the Boston Braves
only three days away. Rube is the first
OF the touring pitchers of either club
70 so nine innings, and such pitching
IS he displayed to-day will win many a
game for his club. Some sieve-like sup
port cropped out at various times, and
made The New York scoring less difi-
cult than Natcuards pitching deserved
The veteran southpaw had retired
nine Yankees In order before a bats
man reached first. Wick opened the
fourth with single to left and when
Malone dropped O'Maras throw on
Pecks grounder Vick was safe at sec
ond. Pipp sent him home with a double
to centre, Peck reaching third Lewis
nit to O'Mara, who got Peck at the plate,
Plpp going 70 third and scoring a min
ute later when Lamar's grounder got
away from Malone.
Huggins's men chalked up another
marker in the sixth inning. Pipp
opened with a double to left and a
Wild pitch put him on third. Lewis
followed with clean single to centre
and Pipp scored O'Mara's mur of
Peck's pop fly in the eighth started
another New York run. Peck stole
second, got another base on Pipp's
lnfeld OUT and Pratt brought him in
with squeeze play In the ninth
Lamar's single, Ward's infeld out, an
error on Ruel and the squeeze plav
BY Shswkey manufactured New York S
last run.
The Dodgers were BANKED for eight
innings, but got run in the ninth.
Griiitn opened with double to cen
ire. No play was made on him when
ne stole third, and he scored on Zack
"hears single to centre.
The batting Of Pipp and Griffith and
me neldlng Of @ Mara were the fea-
lures OF the game. The teams left
fefe ;o-nlgnt Tor Newport News, Va.
where they Will play tomorrow.
