On Our Nine
Dodgcr Hurler Foils Belated
Rally and Leads I'll i s
Team TO 80 Victory
By Ray Mccarthy


Yesterdays game between the Giants
and the Dodgers threatened to become
a repetition of Thursdays struggle,
but the eighth inning rally of the
Harlemites fell short and the Ebbets
crew went out and bagged the game
in the final period by 3 to 9. They
shouldn't have gotten the verdict at
least in the ninth had it not been that
Ross Young played Kiduff's drive
poorly. allowing the Brooklynie to
get three bases when he should have
a sacriiic fly by Griffith and the Gnme.
There wasn't the speed or the excite
ment or the merrymaking in yestor-
days battle that held sway on Thurs.
day, but for all that the contest was
rapidly played and played methodically,
quite as we'll as mechanically. The
Giants did little with the willow ex-
cept to wave it. And SIMPLY waving
the wand is fruitless, so far as runs
are concerned.
Or, perhaps, rather. it was Mitchell's
effective and elusive hurting that was
more responsible for the victory of
his team than the inability of the viii
layers to produce the necessary wal
lops. Clarence-that's Mtchell's first
name-threw mean portside curve
and, what is more, he kept this throw
ing up most of the afternoon.
In one inning only were these curves
fattened to any extent. That was in
the eighth, the frame in which the
locals tied the score and brought the
spectators, who were rapidly falling
into a doze, back to life. The occu-
pants of the press box had no diff
Guilty in keeping awake. The new an
nouncer took care Of that with his
vociferous rootin' all over the box.
The boy whooped things up as though
he were at a worlds series.
We haven't spoken about Jess Barnes.
He did the pitching for the McGraw
employees, but he didn't do it in his
usual manner Jess wasn't exactly
himself out there on the slab ycster-
day, and the Robins detected the all
ment of newly-wed twrler as quickly
as anybody. They pasted his offerings
hard in the very first stanza. Never
theless they probably wouldn't have
tailed had it not been for an error
By the usually errorless Gawge Burns
George shocked the entire assemblagc
by allowing a roller to tricklc through
him, giving the visitors their first run
Olson was on first when Iii Myers
smashed q curving liner into left.
Burns came in and set himself to han
die the ball in his usual graceful man
ner. The ball, however, struck and
shot past the astonished George, who
turned and scampered after it, His
return was too late to get Olson who
scored from first.
Nobody gave much heed to this lone
run, remembering what had happened
on the previous days. and of how the
Giants can trim the Dodgers whenever
they feel that way. But when the
nth inning came and departed with
its cipher for the residents of Coogan
Bluffs and another tally for the crowd
from over the river. the folks grew
apprehensve that all was not as it
should be. Otto Krueger gave Brook
lyn its second run with a smack on the
cheek that sent it reeling into the left
field blcachers.
Everybody stretched for a Giant vic
tory IN the seventh, but nothing devcl-
oped. Many yaWned in the next period
and a rally blared forth. Long George

while Kelly made second. McCarty,

the first pitch and whalcd it aver third
for d two -baggcr, Kelly scoring. King
scored whom Burns produced another
slam to left. Young flied out, but
Fletcher got a hit; then Zim ended it
all with pop to Kruger.
This rally produced nothing but tenn
porary glec and excitement, for the
Dodgers put over a runner in the next
inning, and as the Giants couldn't thov
