Mitchell Pitches Well Until

Smith Goes to His Rescue
From a Spccinl Correspondent


BOSTON, July 6.-The Dodgers
avenged the string of five straight
setbacks sustained at the hands of the
Braves recently by again trouncing
George Stallings's clan this afternoon
and thereby making a clean sweep of
the series. The Brooklynites, who are
just half game behind the league
leading Reds, have now won nine out
of their last ten contests. The final
score was to 2.
Clarence Mitchell, who was on the
mound for the visitors, went along
pretty we'll until the seventh inning,
when his opponents showed run
across on a single and a triple. He
was finally removed in the ninth, when
the home players scored another run
with only one out. Sherrod Smith
was sent to the rescue and he retired
the side without further scoring. Nit
the early innings and several fast dou-
Bile plays helped him considerably on
critical occasions.
Dana Fillingim, who was Stallings's
pitching nominee, limited the Flatbush
crew to seven hits, two less than
Mitchell allowed. but his team mates
were guilty of two very costly errors.
These misplays enabled the Dodgers
to get an early lead, and they man
aged to maintain the advantage
throughout the contest. Fillingim was
removed in the eighth to allow O'Neill
to bat for him, and Hugh MdQulllan,
the final inning.
