Count that day lost in which the
brooklyn Dodgers do not commit some
astounding feat! Yesterday on the Polo
Grounds the Flatbush evaders Of electric
propelled vehicles won their first RanA
OF the year from the Giants. the Robins
hitting TO victory through q sensational
ninth inning rally. The score was 8 to q.
reuben de MarQuard, once a leading
light In the Manhattan cast, not oniy
twlrled superb ball for Brooklyn but he
also Knocked out double In the ninth
frame. which sent home the winning
logger run. Was the Rube happy?
Just ask him!
But this is not the outstanding feat
we originally referred to. The Brook
iyn viatory over Manhattan was a bit
unusual. even surprising. being that the
Giants had cuffed the Dodgers f,ye
straight this spring. but 1t was not
necessarily astounding.
However. here 1t goes. Remember
that knotty old chestnut the bug from
Cohoes. y. Y. or Brattleboro, Vt. used
to send In to perplex those smart New
York reporters: First four men I'D
single to the outfeld, pitcher doesn't re-
tire a man but lasts the inning and
no runs scored. How is 1t done?"
DouBeEb eOIVe FuHHIos
We never could figure It, but the
Dodgers yesterday demonstrated the
problem to the full satisfaction Of all
VINO saw 1t. Strange as 1t may sound
1t can be done, but poor Wilbert Robin
son nearly melted down five pounds
while the Brooklyns. were proving it
Joe Oeschger. the pitcher recently i'm
ported by the Giants from the Phillies,
Is the In the equation. Joseph
fired up the projectiles which the Dodg-
ers fired back for four singles ne
pitched the full inning. but didn't retire
batsman. yet he wasn't scored upon.
Ivy Olson, first man up in the game,
lined single over Zlmm's head and
went to second when Lee Magee whizzed
a hot single through Heinie. The
Bronx boy got his bare nand on IT,.
and got 1t scorched too. Tommy Grf-
fifth. third man up, also lined a solid
single to left, and Burns. making a
grand peg to the plate. nipped Olson
as he tried to score. 1t left Magee on
second and Griffith on first. sMagee be-
gan dancing around second base, and
before he knew 1t Oeschger caught him
nat rooted of the bag with a true throw
to Fletcher. That was the second out.
lack Wheat. fourth man up. followed
With long line single to centre and
Griffith got around to third. While
Mysss was up, Griffith and Wheat tried
double steal, and McCarty made IL
fine pickup of Doyle's low return home,
and got Tom at the plate for tho
third out. Easy. II you know how II
is done; isn't II"
The Dodgers had another one nearly
as good in the third, when there were
three singles registered off Toney and
he walked Olson in the bargain, vet no
scoring resulted. But one Of the hits
was technical blow. scored when Ma
gees bounder hit Kruger on the base
lines
For quite a spell yesterday afternoon
II looked as though Brooklyn was
doomed for another lacing. but there Is
no denying that the Dodgers deserved
to win. Any time team outfits its
rivals fourteen bingles to six It has a
victory coming.
Marquard pitched one of the best
games any visiting hurer has shown
against this Giants this year. In.
Giants got to him for pair of hits in
both the hrst and second innings, but
after that only two more hits were
made OF him, both going to Young.
How Pep can hit those "leftes" nowi
He battcd 1000 against Marquard, get
ting three singles and a pass In four
times up.
After Oeschger assisted the Dodgers
ia the demonstration of that first inning
problem. McGraw removed him from the
go through one OF those innings. but 1t
wouldn't do to tempt fate again.
Toney Makes 1910 Debut.
Fred Toney. who had been spending a
busy week in the bull pen, came on In
the second inning for his first 1919 APP
pearance. The Tennessee mountaineer
did pretty we'll until tho NINTH when he
suddenly went to pieces Lieutenant Jesse
did a fancy job OK locking the
sta BILE. door after the horse was stolen.
A crowd of $4,000 followed up tho
big Decoration Day turnouts of the day
before. However. following the unfor-
tunate experiences OF the Dodgers in
Harlem In the last few days, most of the
remained on their side OF
the bridge. The fan chorus yesterday
was made UP almost wholly OF Manhat-
tan voices Though the Dodgers dropped
three games out OF four, it was a pretty
good series for Squire Ebbets. He got
a divyy on close TO 10000 paid adnis-
sions for the four games Helps pay OF
the mortgages, what?
After Brooklyns interesting first in
ming the Giants went out and got a run
IN their hah, Young opened his busy
day with single to right and took Sec
ond on a wild pitch that nearly hit a
fan in an upstairs box. Chase scored
the Texan lad with a clean single to
centre.
The Giants got another run in the
second. Fletcher got fiuke triple when
his ordinary single hit Fabian shell
hole in centre field and failed to bounce.
HI Myers was set for a bound, and when
II didn't. tho ball skidded away from him
to the fence. "Fletch" came homo on
a passed ball. He would have scored
anyway. as McCarty tore single
Malone a moment later.
Dodgers Score I'm Fourth.
Robby's warriors picked up a stray
run in tho fourth. Myers hit high fly
To deep centre. Kauff backed almost 10
the bleachers for it and got his Eloved
hand on IL, but couldn't squeeze it. Il
was scored as a triple for Myers Ko-
netchy. Brooklyn's big gun. lifted IN
home with a sacrifice fly
Brooklyn waited until the ninth in
ming OF the fourth game before il had
a real fareup. Such DOdger fans na
