DODGERS SHUTOUT INDIANS

Grimes and put Olson on third. Bagby purposeIy passed Zack Wheat and relied on a play on Myers to shut off the rally. The entire Cleveland team was on its toes and when Myers slashed a sizzling grounder to Gardner the Indians third baseman shot it back to O'Neill, forcing out Olson. O'Neill endeavored to turn the play into a second out at first, but his throw hit Myers square in the back as the latter raced for the initial sack. Johnston was on the job, however, and rushed up the base line, where he picked up the ball and hurled it back to O'Neill in time to catch Griffith trying to score. O'Neill aided the lay by completely block ing the approach to the plate, for which he was roundly booed by the Brooklyn fans The play was entirely legitimate, however, and Umpire Connolly, who was officiating behind the plate, paid no atten- tion to the protests of the home rooters.
 Brooklyn's other runs were scored without any attendant features.
 Jimmy Johnson gave the Brooklyn fans the first real opportunity to cheer when he beat out single to deep short in the first inning. It proved to be the opening of the first run Johnson added the sec ond quarter of the run when he made clean steal of second and ambled to third, while Griffith was being dis posed of at first. Captain zack Wheat came to the front with a timely to cen ter, which sent J Johnston across the plate, Wheat by fast sprinting making his hit count for a double.
 Griffith added to his record as a timely hitter in the fifth when his single to short sent Olson home with the third and final run of the game. The Brooklyn shortstop got on by connecting with one of Bagbys fast ones for a single. He advanced to the midway while Johnston and Bagby were disposing of the form er's brother and from that point com pleted the circuit on Griffith's hit. The attendance, despite an improve ment in the weather conditions, did not ! quite equal the standard set in the open | ing game. The sky was overcast when | Grimes served up his first pitch, strike on Jamieson, and there was little wind to disconcert the fielders. Although the sun cast only occasional rays on the diamond, | the air was warm and without the nip ping chill which accompanied Cleveland 8 victory yesterday. Still there were scat tered vacant seats, singly and in pairs, in l both the lower and upper stands The l specta tors as whole appeared to view l the struggle with apathy only occasional l ly giving vent to concerted roar of ap-
 provaf or Encouragement.
 l There was an utter lack of team root | ing while the songs and music, which 1 have made other worlds series con spicuous from a vocal standpoint, were as much missing as during the opening I game.
