ny GEORGE n. UNDERWOOD.


The Dodgers reverted TO spring base
ball at Ebbets Field yesterday and al
most won a game. During the spring
drive the Dodgers had a habit of acting
as tame as Tabby cats for few innings
, only to cut loose and hammer across a
whole flock of runs After Bradley Hogg
had made them jump through and roll
| over for seven innings yesterday the
Dodgers suddenly clouded up In the
eighth and rained hits all over Flat
bush.
! Before the Dodgers could be subdued
i five singles had bounced of the Brook
Ign bludgeons and three runners had
crossed the platter. The trio of tallies,
however, fell one run shy Of tying the
, score. In the ninth the Phillies bagged
another run with the aid of boot by
| Olson and emerged victorious, 6 to 4.
The Phillies gained the victory ut the
, expense OF JEFF Pfeffer, the Brooklyn
pitching ace. The right handler had an
Off day and the Phillies pounded him of
the peak In the fifth after they had
landed on him for nine hits and Ave
earned runs.
! Lieut.. Leon Galore was rushed to the
rescue and spiked the rally He yielded
| only one hit till he was taken out to let
schmandt hit for him in the eighth.
Mitchell twirled the ninth and Black
burne's life on Olson's error. two sacri-
fces. and Bancroft's single gave the
Phillies an unearned marker OF Clar-
ence.
Bancroft Heads Attack.
Bancroft was a thorn in the side of
the Dodgers. Davy launched two rallies
on Pfefer. scored two runs and drove in
another. He Clipped in with some nifty

Bancroft and williams in the lineup
Philadelphia presents a much more
menacing front than the Quakers did
when Dave and Cy were on the hospital
| list. 1t Is easy to see what a big handi-
cap 1t was to Jack Coombs, when he
piloted the Phillies, to stumble along
| without the services Of the two stars.
Yesterday, however, Williamss arm
was none too supple. That, coupled
| with the fact that Meusel in right field
scarcely could get the ball into the in
| field, was Of big assistance to the Dodgers.
This was especially noticeable in the
eighth, when the slow footed Konet-
chy went all the way from first to third
on Kiiduffs dihky little single TO right
Meusel was well in when he played the
hit, but his arm is 50 bad that he only
| was able to make weak toss to second.
A right fielder with any kind OF an arm
would have nailed Konetchy standing Up
at third.
z. Wheat's Absence Felt.
Just as on Sunday. Zach wheat's alb
sence from the Brooklyn lineup was
felt keenly. Zack again reported
sick and that necessitated send
ing Hickman into left and shaking up
the batting order. Jimmy played a
corkfng game. and though he didn't
make n hit he was responsible for two
OF Brooklyn's runs.

Williams robbed Hickman OF an appar-
ent homer, racing far into deep left TO
pull down the drive and turn an extra
base blow that would have scored two
runs and possibly three into sacrifice
fly that registered one.
Klein again was on his dignity. He
lost no time in displaying il, chasing
Otto Miller to the clubhouse while cal
