5 to 2.
By GEORGE n. UNDERWOOD.

Uncle wilbert Robinson went TO Bal
timore yesterday to attend the wedding
of his son and thereby was. saved from
much laceration OF feelings. IL Robbie
had been present in the fourth inning at
Ebbets Field he would have suffered
brainstorm.
Plttsburg 5, Brooklyn Q, was the score
and the Pirates total of Ave runs all
were born In the fourth inning frenzy
of the Dodgers The Pirates nicked
Smith for four hits in the fatal fourth
but only one run would have resulted
except for the wild and woody play OF
Sherrod's teammates. The Dodgers
chucked the game away on Smith Just
as they did on Galore on Sunday. II
they don't watch out II will get TO be
habit with them.
Carey launched the Pirates of In
the fourth with n lash to lef. South
worth popped to Johnston. Carey pull
ed up at second when Cutshaw singled
to right. Johnston made a good try
for Berbare's smoking grounder back
Of second but the bah carommed on
Jimmy's init into centre. Carey scoring,
and Cutshaw taking third. So far II
was up to Smith, but
Nicholson, who went to first base

inning, bounded to Smith who turned
for a throw to second that should have
launched an easy double play and ended
the inning.
But there was no one there to cover
the bag. Olson hoped over and stood
four feet from the hassock. When
Johnston saw that Ivy didn't appear as
II he was going to take the peg Jimmy
stationed himself four feet the other
side of the base.
Through the gap. directly over Sec
ond and two feet above the ground,
just where the throw should have been,
Smith threw the ball 1t bounded into
centre field. Cutshaw bounded home,
son bounded to first
That 4 was Oison's brain lapse that
was to blame was indicated a moment
later when another fatal delay by Ivy
again put Smith in jeopardy. With Bar
bare on second and Nicholson on first
Terry forced Nicholson, Konetchy to
Olson, Barbara taking third. When Oh
son stood like an iron man, holding
desperately on to the ball, Barbara made
a dash for home He was half way
down the base path when Ivy woke up.
The. Pirate easily beat the throw home.
More trouble came upon Smith when
Lee got n life on a throw by Ward that
pulled Konetchy off the bag. Miller
heaped insult upon injury by booming a
double to right that registered Terry and
Lee and fattened Pittsburgs total TO
five. Myers ended the agony by coming
in and corralling Bigbee's ny back OF
second.
Smith pitched splendid ball and re-
ceved good support in all the other
innings. The Dodgers punched hits on
Frank Bullet Miller for a run in the
fifth, and bagged another in the seventh
on Zach Wheat's double, a tumble by
Terry and a double play on which Wheat
scored. Zach's managerial duties did
not effect his individual play. for he
made two hits and scored both Brooklyn
runs.
Zach singled to left in the first, went
to third on Myers's timely thump TO
centre. When Southworth dropped Ko-
netchy's fly Zach scored. Southworth
recovered in time to throw the ball to
Cutshaw for forceout OF Myers at
second. The score:
