Hits; Homer for Neis
By Charles A. Taylor

George Lefty" Tyler put an end to the
winning streak of the Dodgers yester-
day afternoon by twirling just about
as perfect a game as any pitcher could
desire. Only three hits did the PEN
nant chasers make off Lefty" and the
final count of runs showed margin of
10 to in favor of the visitors. 1t
was the first time in many q day that
lose, for the record of Robbie's men
until fateful yesterday yas ten straigh
victories.
There is lot of consolation for the
followers of the team across the
bridge, however, in the fact that their
nearest rivals, the Cincinnati Reds,
were overwhe lined for the second day
IN succession by the despised and low
ly Phillies, while their most hated and
feared rivals, the Giants, also fell by
the wayslde. The Dodgers still look
like sure pennant winners even after
their reverse of yesterday.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson was not
bit chagrined over the downfall of his
men. ~ have piloted eight pennant
winners" said Robbie after the game,
and know what the strain on a team
that's up there and fighting down the
homestretch is. That double header
we won yesterday from the Cubs fol-
lowing a string of eight triumphs was
enough to cause the boys to wilt
bit. But they will be in there fighting
again tomorrow and every day until
the old flag is securely within our
grasp.
F., Robbie Not Over-confident
II am not claiming the pennant. I
have had too much experience to be so

known such things to happen with the
best of teams, but am not much wor-
rled over the outlook when | sec the
spirit in which the boys have taken
to-day's upset. You can hear them
vowlng vengeance now under the show

shouting the refrain to the accompani-
ment of pattering water. "Wait and
see what We'll do to that bunch to-

The outcome of yesterdays game was
fairly well settled when the Cubs had
accumulated a lead of five runs in the
first two innings. But yet the way the
Dodgers have been going led the faith
J ful to hope against hope that some
thing would happen to put them in the
running again. The something did not
happep but on the contrary the situa-

| as the contest went on to its close.
The only bright spot was the blow
little Bernie Ncis struck for his cause
in the sixth when he drove the ball
over the right field fence. 1t should
also be noted here that Bernie made
another nit, single. thus accounting
for two of the the three safeties al
lowed by the stingy Tyler.
From the Cubs standpoint it was a
| TY,1 dow co. L.
the aged Dodc Paskert. Davey collected
five hits including a triple, two doubles
and two singles in five trips to the
plate. The venerable Dode made three
hits in five times at bat, one of his
| smacks going to deepest center for a
home run. The agility of Dode in the
| field was also of the sensational order,
particularly his long running. one
handed catch of Meyerss fly in the
ninth.
Three Runs for Starter
The first three runs Of the Cubs came
in the opening inning, Flack leading off
/ with base on balls. Terry fouled out
to Schmandt, but Robertson beat out IN
| infield tap. Merkle singled to right,
Neis holding Flack on third with fine
throw. Old Paskert then came through
with single to center, on which Flack
and Robertson scored, Merkle stopping
at second. O'Farrell flied to Neis, but
Deal sinrled to left, tallying Merkle.
The Cubs continued their attack on
Leon Cadore. the Brooklyn pitcher, in
the second. After Taylor had been tossed
out by killduff Flack doubled to c2n-
ter Terry popped out to Kruc ser,
bringing up the busy Robertson. who
bounced the ball Off rhe RIGHT field wall
for two bases, scoring Flack. Fred
Merkle also got the double habit, driv-
ing the ball for two bases to center and
tallying Robertson.
The Dodgers got their first run in
the fourth on SINGLES by Neis and
Wheat, walk to Myers and an infield
out. Mitchell relieved Cadore for
Brooklyn in the fifth. and in the sew
cnth he, too. fell victim to the Cubs
batting rampage. Singles by Robert
son, Merkle and Paskert accounted for
two runs. Miljus finished the game as
the Dodeer moundsman. The same
teams will meet this afternoon in their
Gn"l contest of the season.
