MaTQuard gave ABOUT MS pest eXnl-
bition of the present campaign. He
was. in top notch form and he had to
pitch almost shut-out ball to gain the
decision. The Rube yielded only four
hits and three Of these came in the
second inning, when the Braves scored
their lone run. After that inning the
visitors were virtually helpless before
the deceptive Offering Of the Flatbush
twirler.
Rube Gets Fine Support
The Dodgers inAelders as we'll as the
outfelders accorded Marquard brill
liant support. Whenever danger threat
ened the RUDE was invariably rescued
by splendid playing on the part Of his
mates. lack Wheat helped him CON
siderably on several critical occasions
with fine catches Of long flies.
McQuillan, who halls from Astoria,
L. l., was not far behind the home
twirler in skill and effectiveness. He
allowed only five safeties, two Of
which,, singles by Griffith and Wheat,
fourth inning. McQuillan issued only
one base on balls, but the Rube did
not hand out single free pass to first
The visitors also gave their box
man fine support and they were guilty
of only one error, which, incidentally,
was a factor in the home players first
run. Sullivan furnished the star field
ing stunt Of the afternoon when he
robbed Marquard of an almost certain
livan started with the crack of the bat
and sprinted toward deep center field.
He leaped several feet off the ground
just as the ball was passing over his
head and pulled it down.
The Dodgers jumped off to an early
start and showed one run across in the
very first inning. After Olson had
grounded out to Boeckel, Johnson shot
single to center and took second on
powell's tumble. McQuillan then un-
corked wild pitch and Johnston
to Powell and Johnston raced over the
plate after the catch. Wheat flied to
Mann for the third out.
The Braves came back strong in the
second and nicked Marquard for three
hits, which Melted them one run and
thereby enabled them to tie the count.
Sullivan led off with double to right
and took third on Holke's sacrifice
bunt to Vanguard, Meanwhile hoisted
fly to Griffith and Sullivan completed
the circuit after the catch.
Gowdy Continues Onslaught
Gowdy slammed single to center
and Ford followed with another to
right, sending Gowdy to third. Ford
stole second, but Miller made a great
catch of McQuillan's foul and ended
the uprising.
Neither team scored in the third, but
the home players tailed what proved
to be the deciding run in the fourth.
Griffith, the first batter, beat out slow
roller to Ford and took second on a
passed ball. Wheat promptly came
through with single to center, which
chased Griffith across. Myers advanced
Wheat to second on sacrifice to the
box. McQuillan then pulled himself
together and retired the next two
batters.
Both pitchers settled down afte, the
fourth inning and neither side could
break through for the remainder of the
contest. Despite the B. R. T. strike
about $4,000 rabid rooters turned out
for the battle. The game was COM
pleted in one hour and fifteen minutes.
The Dodgers left for Philadelphia
last night, where they will meet the
cellar champions in five games IN three
days. After that they will return to
the home lot to open theis final stand
against the Western teams.
