The Poison Oaks, Incorporating I'M
der the name OF the st. Louis Cardinals
at Ebbets Field yesterday. were mauled'
manhandled and massacred, 10 to !,
to make a Brooklyn holiday.
Brooklyn base hits were thicker than
the fallen leaves in vallombrosa.
Twenty-one--count 'em, twenty-one--
husky and full grown bingles bounced
of the Brooklyn bats. The Dodgers
committed assault on both Doak
and Tuero. Tho Poison Oaks, alias
the Cardinals. Clipped In with hocks
OF errors OF omission and commits
sion and $4,000 Brooklyn fans were
treated to tho widest and wooliest ex-
hibition Of the national frolic that ever
was staged In the Flatbush ball yard.
But bless those dear old Poison Oaks,
anyway. II has been a long time since
the old fans were treated to such pure
and unadulterated back home. down on
the farm exhibition. Under the spell of
the brand OF baseball furnished by the
visitors many an old fan, as II waited
on the magic carpet OF Haroun-al-Ras-
child, was carried away from Ebbets
Field, the noisy city and the stress of
business. back TO blue hills, rolling green
meadows and happy, care free boyhood
days.

It was Just such a game" as they
used to play down behind the old red
barn. Tho crack of hickory on horse
hide, the whistle and roar Of base hits,
the clatter of flying feet on the base
paths filled the air. NUNS and frenzied
fiips kept treading on each others heels.
One never knew Just what was going
to happen.
But as regards baseball. real bona
fide big league baseball, the embroglio
resembled II about as much az piece
of broken glass does the Kohinoor.

Dots stuck II out at first base till the
seventh inning. when he turned the bag
over to Roy Leslie and sneaked under
the shadow Of the bench to condole
with himself.
After Willie Doak's pet splitter had
been located for fifteen hits and six
runs in six innings Dots" Miller sent
Shotton in to bat for Willie in the sew

peak. The euphonius Cuban squeezed

bombardment in the eighth that netted
four more runs.
Smith in Form.
Sherry Smith was on the mound for
the Dodgers and would have scored q
shutout except for two base wild throw

demented peg put Schultz on second.
Joe came the rest OF the way on an
infield out and a single by Hornsby.
Singles by Konetchy and o. Miller

tied things up Johnston's double and
following singles by Griffith. Wheat and
Myers bagged a brace OF runs in the
third. Otto Miller's single, an infeld out

Singles by Myers and Konetchy coupled
with an attack OF the blind staggers by
the st. Louis infield gave Brooklyn an
other run in the fifth and Olson's single.

catching the two batterymen asleep
and coming all the way in from second.
Every Dodger got a hit. Johnston

O. Miller three each. Ward gummed up
three Brooklyn batting rallies. but final
ly broke into the hit column on his last
chance in the eighth. Grifflth's running

the fielding feature. The score:
