Start Assault Early
The Brooklyn assault in the first
game was started even before young
Lyons could assume his stance in the
box, Olson, Johnston and Lamar
singled in order, Ivan the Terrible scor-
ing. Johnston came home on Wheat's
fly to Heathcote; Lyons managed to
throw out Myers, but McHenry permit

Kircher came along to take his medi-
cine. The Robins were lenient with
the newcomer until the third, when
they fell upon his offerings for three
more runs, Cadore again figuring prom
inently in their production, as his
double scored Kilduff, whose single
had previously sent over Myers, who
opened with double. Olson scored Ca

ing when the fourth started, and they
put another run across on Neis's
double, Wheat's out and fielder's
choice on Myers, Clemons dropping
Hornsby's throw to the plate.

wiched around Johnston's triple, netted
two more in the sixth, and after Hickey
had sent in flock of substitutes in the
seventh the Dodgers piled up four addi-

errors. Cadore also had finger in
this pie.
Two singles and pair of outs gave
the visitors q marker in the seventh

game.
After the regulation period OF rest
the Dodgers went after their prey
again, but with less ferocity than in
the opener Rickey's allegation that the
Brooklyn players had offered the Car
dinals big sum if they defeated the

Robbie's men at the start, but after tr

enough runs to win the second.

side in order to begin matters. but in
the second they tapped him for two
singles, but nothing came of them, as

fully engineered double play.

"Pickles" Dilhoefer, still brooding
over the trouncing his team had suf-
fered earlier in the afternoon, got
into a heated argument with Umpire
Billy Klein and was sent to the show
ers to cool his parched tongue.
The Dodgers really won this game in
.her first run. Miller started by foul
ing to Clemons, who had replaced Dill
hoefer. Smith doubled to center, but
Olson fouled to Janvrin. Here john
ston inserted his second triple of the
day, and Smith galloped home. La
mar was thrown out by North.
