When Grogan went up in the blast
and Pat Murphy was sent to break the
news gently TO the widow, Pat did so
with much eclat. "Oh, Mrs. Grogan,"
chirped Pat, you know your Mike? A
grand man he was! Well" he con-
! tinued, holding up tattered bit Of cloth,
here's all there is left of him r.
Breaking the news just as gently to
the Brooklyn fans, the dear old Dodgers
In their farewell appearance at Ebbets
Field yesterday, after four times tieing
the score on the Phillies, finally lost out
In the eighteenth inning The score was
Philadelphia 10, Brooklyn g. The loss OF
the baseball marathon cost Brooklyn
second place.
Almost every time the Dodgers and
Phillies have met this season there have
been strange doings. A month ago In
Philadelphia the teams fought n twenty
inning draw. When the teams met in
the play Off at Ebbets Field a week later
the Phillies scored six runs in the first
frame and another in the second, only
to have the Dodgers bag half dozen
tallies in the third, tie the score in the
fourth and win out, IL to .. Yesterday
they hammered the ball and spilled err
ror5 all over Flatbush. each team ap-
parently winning and losing half a
dozen times
The game furnished a bacchanalia of
base hits and an orgy of errors. The
contest was both Homeric and Falstaff-
ian. The Phllies jumped on JEFF Pfef-
fer for twenty-three ringing bingles, in
GLIDING loft over the garden wall by Cy
Williams, with Adams on base in the
seventh. and doubles by Adams and Lu-
derus. The Dodgers combed the COM
bned deliveries of Columbia George
Smith and Mule Watson for nineteen
clouts, including doubles by Konetchy
and lack Wheat who hammered out a
total of five hits, and triple by Lee
Magee.
Luderus's Double Decides.
It was Luderus's double that settled
Brooklyn's hash with two down in the
eighteenth. With Williams on second
by virtue of single and an infleld out.
Luderus larruped the ball to right centre
for two hassocks and pushed Cy across
the platter with the triumphant tally.
As the Dodgers had tied the score on
the Phillles IN the first after the Quakers
had jumped away TO a two run lead
evened things up again with four run
squirt in the eighth. made Il a neck and
neck race again after the Phillies had
scored a run in the eleventh. and once
more had matched Philadelphia marker
with one OF their own in the sixteenth.
the Brooklyn fans were hopeful the
Dodgers would get still another tying
rally out of their systems in their Ihalf
of the eighteenth. They were partic-
ularly hopeful as Wheat, Myers and ko-
ntchy We're up.
But fate and Mule Watson decreed
otherwise. Watson made Zach pop to
Whitfield and then struck out both Hy
and Ed. ending the agony right pronto.
One of the reasons why Uncle Wilbert
made Pfeffer go the route Is because
the Dodgers have six games with the
Braves in the next three days and the
Brooklyn hurting corps will be worked
to the utmost. Yesterdays game was
the fifth successive one in which the OPP
position got to Pfeffer for a two run
lead in the opening innings. Each of
the two defeats Prefer has suffered this
season has been in an extra inning con-
test He was beaten by the Cardinals in
the thirteenth and yesterday by the
Phillies in the eighteenth.
PhilIies Take an Early Lead.
