for shutout iaurels in the National
League last year, painted the Reds
white at Tbbets Field yesterday II was
Grimess FIRST kalsomine stunt Of the
1913 season. While the etocky Brook
lyn right handler was making Pat
Moran's crew hunger for runs even as

cinnati's strongest hitters - Roush,
Neale. Sherwood Magee and Daubert

the trail indicated pitchers battle be-
tween Grimes and Rube Bressler. To be
sure, Hy Myers caught the first ball
Bressler pitched in the second inning on
the seam and sent It screaming over
Roush's head TO the centre field fence
for one OF the longest homers ever made
at Ebbets Field. But when Bressler

the resulting run might win the game.
