BROOKLYN TWICE
HUMBLED BY REDS
Ring Blanks Dodgers in First,
]. to 0; Eller Wins Second
by 6 to 1 Score.
BY CHARLES r. MATH1soN.

Any hopes that may have been nursed
by the Giants that Uncle Robbie and his
Robins would be able to check the mad
rush Of Pat Moran and his ruthless Reds
we're blasted yesterday afternoon, when
the Cincinnati juggernaut crushed the
Brooklyn contingent in both sections of
two-headed performance by to and
6 to I.
Aside from resultant disappointment
suffered by the Giants, the double de-
feat, in which the Robins scored but one
run in eighteen innings. was particu-
larly CALLING to the Ebbets Field ath-
letes for several reasons.
To begin with, Leon Galore, Brook
lyn's favorite hurler not only was hit
freely and beaten in the opening game
by to O, but the victorious finger was
none other than Jimmy Ring. a product
OF Brooklyn. who. once Brooklyn
rookie. could be of great service TO the
Robins just at this period of the game.
Ring had the Robins eating out OF his
hand from first to last. and very few
crumbs they got Three widely scattered
singles and not a sign of a run we're
what the mathematician had to report
at the end of the ninth session.
SO far as Galore is concerned. while
he was banged hard and frequently, the
Reds getting four doubles from his
slants, yet he pitched heady ball and got
out of many tight places through cool,
ness and excellent control. He held the
Reds scoreless until the seventh inning
when they got together the hits that gave
the only run OF the game.
wingo's Double Decides.
Kopf opened the session with single
t. centre and Sherwood Magee sacri-
feed with neatness and accuracy. Then
came Wingo with a double and drove
Kept to the plate with the winning run.
Additional annoyance was caused by
one ]. Daubert, formerly the guardian
of Brooklyn's initial sack. Jake was
enthusiastically greeted by the 10000
persons who saw the games. In the
eighth frame he rammed a hit to right
centre on which he got two bases easily.
In trying for an extra base on the
drive Daubert was nipped at the third
sack. Had Jake remained on second he
would have scored, as Groh followed
with a two baser.
The second defeat of the Robins was
even more mortifylng than the first
Hold Eller made himself unspeakably
obnoxious and came close 10 repeating
the dose of whitewash that Ring had
administered. Eller held the Robins
runless for eight innings. but permitted
them to get a run. possibly by way of
consolation, in the ninth frame.
AS this was notable event OF the
days performance the manner in which
the run was acquired Is herewith given
in detail.
Griffith was the first Robin to hop TO
the plate, but the best he could do was
a foul fly for Heinie Groh. Then came
Zach Wheat, determined to hold his
place among the Ave batting leaders of
the league and hammered a double TO
centre. Myers pounded the ball about
seven feet in front of the plate and was
thrown, out at first by Bill Rariden.
Konetchy was the man of the hour. He
smashed a single to right and Wheat
came dancing home with a run. II was
only one run, but 1t baked the Reds in
the brutal attempt to twice shut out the
Robins on one sunny afternoon.
Mitchell Hard Hit.
Perhaps the less said of the Reds
treatment of Mitchell, the Robins
pitcher. the better for all. concerned
There was so distressing a continuity of
assorted hits that contemplation OF the
subject becomes painful to a resident of
Flatbush or vicinity. The two runs in
the third resulted from singles by Ma

some fleet work on the paths.
Singles by Roush and Mage and
Roush's steal gave one in the fourth,
and Roush's single, Neale's sacrifice and
Magees single gave one In the sixth
G-ohs double and Kopfs single yielded
one in the eighth, and Magee's single,
