Yesterday was the second time this
season that the wild Flatbushmen have
run roughshod over the keystone hire
lings of the Squire. Recently when
the Yankees performed in Brookland
the crowd swarmed onto the field in
the ninth to get closeup of Babe
Ruth.
Snappy Ball Game
The spectators saw a snappy game
the edge off early in the fray by OBJ
tanning commanding lead. But said
lead din't prevent the populace from
getting plenty of lung exercise and
fresh air from start to finish. During
the festivities yesterday many argu-
ments were precipitated as to whether
Brooklynites or Cincinnatians were
the champion rooters of the present
day. Had the Dodgers showed any
signs of winning we are inclined to
think Brooklyn would have gone over
the top yesterday, grandstand and all.
That the Robins didn't threaten at
any time was due to the superb pitch
ing of Jess Barnes. This young man
was in tip-top form and pitching as he
Is rated to twirl for the coming season.
He had everything a winner needs.
Speed, fine control, splendid change
of pace, all of which he made good
use of. He was master at all times,
and because he was the crowd was
unusually silent
In addition Barnes received nifty
support from his teammates. Also the
Manhattanites are beginning to emerge
from their batting lethargy. And

Giants are hard nine to. beat. 1t is
our opinion they are just starting to
come into their own.
Manager Robinson selected Leon
Cadore to do the hurting for the Flat
bush crew. Cadore us a good pitcher
He has been going we'll SO far this
season and his selection was approved
by most of those present, as they ex-
bected that "Caddy' was Just the per-
son who could tame the visitors.
But while Cadore looked to be in
good form he was found at opportune
moments by his opponents who pressed
him so hard he was forced to give way
him for two innings and Mamaux
finished the game.
Off to Early Start
1t didn't take the men Of McGraw
long to wheel their batteries into ac
ton. In the first inning Burns, Young
and Fletcher went out in order, but
Doyle began the second by drawing
pass. Kauf struck out, much to the
delight of the crowd. Sticking, who
substituted for Frank Frisch, the Flash
of Fordham, that young man being on
the sick-list with ptomaine poisoning,
started to swing at pitch, changed

with the ball and the missive began

Cadore started chasing it, but fell
behind and veered to the bag. Konetchy

first. 1t was poor chuck, low and

during the confusion, while Sticking

with hoist to Wheat.
The Giants were idle or inactive for
the next two innings. They crowded
to the front again in the fifth, and, al
though they failed to score, they had
splendid opportunities. Poor base run
