1t was a Dig day Tor Brooklyn and q
big day for Richard de Marquis, alias
Rube Vanguard, the southpaw dean of
Uncle Robbie's pitching staff. Every
body who resides in, near, around or
the Giants in the light of a golden
jubilee. And nobody, whose home ad-
dress is Brooklyn, gets a bigger
chuckle out of the discomfort of Nc
Graw and his minions than this same
RUDE, who helped McGraw to three
setting a record for consecutive vic
tories in the doing of it.
Marquard pitched a beautiful game
yesterday. Especially so after the
first inning. The venerable s%outhpaw
yielded only one hit in the last eight
innings. The Rube was bumped a bit
in the opener. New York scored both
its runs then and hit - viciously
toward their manufacture that the
most faithful figured Robbie might
have to lift him in the interests Of
public safety.
Winters Appears Too Late
But if Marquard could be figured as
maltreated in that opener, one should
have had a peep at Artie Nehf, his
southpaw rival. Nehf was simply
dubbed to death. He was hammered
out of the box in the first inning be-
fore New York could register an out
and before Jess Winters, who sue
ceeded, could find himself the Dodgers
had four runs over. There was no
scoring after the first inning.
There was some little luck to George
Burns's triple that put the game in
motion. Neis was swung over toward
center when George poked a terrific
liner to dead right that fell fairly
inches inside the chalk mark. Mr.
Marquard was a bit fustered. He
walked Pep Young. Burns tailed
whale Klldcff was tossing out
putting Young on third, whence he
scored on Statz's deep fly to Myers.
Sticking hit to Olson, who tossed to
kilduff, forcing Doyle for the third
out.
The Dodgers greeted Nehf like
money from home. Olson climbed the
s~outhpaw's first offering for a pretty
lin single t. center field. Neis
walked. Johnston hammered one over
been good for the circuit on a clear
field. The ball rolled under a tenn
porary bleacher in left center, and
Under ground rules Johnston was
tagged down at third. His triple scored
Olson and Neis, of course, and tied
the tally.
Ever Reliable Burns Errs
Then along came Wheat. lack

1t shot out a white streak through
Slcking's legs before he could make
a move. The usually reliable George
burns was a bit too careless in try
ing to hold this blow to a single. The
ball got through his legs, too, and
rolled to the fence. Johnston scored
o. the hit and Wheat reached third
on the error.
That was the last Of Nehf. Winters,
a rlght-hander, was rushed to the
rescue. 1T looked for a while as if the
Dodgers meant to send him along to the
shower after the southpaw. Myers

run; konetchy hammered safely to left
field on a hit-and-run play, putting
Myers on third base. Four runs in,
men on third and first and none out,
1t sure did appear like a prospective
massacre, and the rabid Flatbush root
crs raised the roof.
1t might have been a massacre if such
success had not gone to the heads of
the Dodgers. But Myers ruined him-
