BROOKLYN TWICE
HUMBLED BY REDS
Ring Blanks Dodgers in First,
/ to O; Eller Wins Second
by 6 to 1 Score.
~ CHARLES r.. MATHIsoN.

Any hopes that may have been nursed
by the Giants that Uncle Robbie and hts
Robins would be able TO check the mad
rush of Pat Moran and his ruthless Rede
were blasted yesterday afternoon. when
the Cincinnati juggernaut crushed the
brooklyn contingent In both sections of
a two-hesded performance by to 0 and
| Q to /.
| Aside from resultant disappointment
suffered by the Giants, the double de-
feat in which the Robins scored but one
run In eighteen innings. was particu-
| larly calling to the Ebbets Field ath-
letes for several reasons.
To begin with, Leon Galore, Brook
lyn's favorite hurler, not only was hit
freely and beaten In the opening game
| by to 0. but the victorious finger was
none other than Jimmy Ring, product
OF Brooklyn, who, once a Brooklyn
rookie, could be of great service to the
| Robins just at this period OF the game.
| Ring had the Robins eating out Of his
| hand from first to last, and very few
| crumbs they got. Three widely scattered
| singles and not a sign of a run were
what the mathematician had to report
| at the end OF the ninth session.
So far as Galore is concerned. while
he was banged hard and frequently. the
Reds getting four doubles from his
slants, yet he pitched hesdy ball and got
out OF many tight places through cool.
ness and excellent control. He held the
Reds scoreless until the seventh inning,
when they got together the hits that gave
the only run of the game
wingo's Double Decides.
Kopf opened the session with a single
t. centre and Sherwood Magee sacri-
feed with neatness and accuracy. Then
| came Wingo with a double and drove
Kept to the plate with the winning run.
Additional annoyance was caused by
one J. Daubert formerly the guardian
of Brooklyns initial sack. Jake was
enthusiastically greeted by the 10000
persons who saw the games. In the
eighth frame he rammed a hit to right
centre on which he got two bases easily.
In trying for an extra base on the
drive Daubert was nipped at the third
sack. Had Jake remained on second he
would have scored, as Groh followed
with a two baser.
The second defeat Of the Robins was
even more notifying than the first
Hold Eller made himself unspeakably
obnoxious and came close to repeating
the dose of whitewash that Ring had
administered. Eller held the Robins
hitless for eight innings. but permitted
them to get a run, possibly by way OF
consolation, in the ninth frame.
As this was a notable event Of the
days performance the manner in which
the run was acquired Is herewith given
in detail
Griffith was the first Robin TO hop TO
the plate. but the best he could do was
foul fly for Heinie Groh. Then came
Zach Wheat determined to hold his
place among the five batting leaders OF
the league. and hammered a double to
centre. Myers pounded the ball about
seven feet In front of the plate and was
thrown out at first by Bill Rariden-
Konetchy was the man OF the hour. He
smashed a single to right and Wheat
came dancing home with a run. 1t was
only one run, but It baked the Reds in
tho brutal attempt TO twice shut out the
Robins on one sunny afternoon.
Mitchell Hard HIT.
Perhaps the less said Of the Reds
treatment of Mitchell, the Robins
pitcher, the better for all. concerned
There was so distressing continuity of
assorted hits that contemplation of the
subject becomes painful to a resident OF
Flatbush or vicinity The two runs in
the third resulted from singles by Nh
gee. Eller and Rath, a force out and
some feet work on the paths.
Singles by Roush and Magee and
Eoush's steal gave one in the fourth,
and Roush's single, Neale's sacrifice and
Magee's single gave one In the sixth
GEoh's double and Kopfs single yielded
