Smith Saves Day for Leaders
After Pfeffer Is Batted Out
Pittsburgh Battery Pre-
SCENTS Robbie With Four
Runs; Score, 6 to 4,

Your Uncle Robbie and his Dodgers
were in receptive mood at Ebbets
Field yesterday, and accepted, with
thanks, the game presented to them by
the Pirates. Several formalities were
overlooked in the presentation, such as
speeches, flowers, etc, but the National
League ieaders and some xix thousand
Brooklyn fans were willing to forget
conventionalites as long az they fin
lsned on the long end of = 6 ~ 4 score.
In truth, only two of the Pirates did
al of the presenting, and it CHANGED
that the two constituted the Pittsburgh
prtS.ry In the first inning Catcher
Haetfner opened wide the road to three
Brooklyn runs, while in the second
Pitcher Carlson handed the Dodgers
their fourth. The two other Brooklyn
tallles, were earned, as were all four
made by the Corsairs.
.Chlef credit for the victory, however,
is due to the rotund manager of the
Brooklyns. 1t was his uncanny ability
to gauge the end of pitchers effec-
tlveness for the afternoon that saved
his team from disaster.
Pfeffer Is Batted Out
JEFF Pfetfer was in there pitching The
little white pill at the Pirates from. the
start, and he was going along in becom-
ing fashion until he reached the fourth
inning. At this stage the Dodgers had
propped him up with lead of five runs.
but jeff apparently thought this was
too much of an advantage against
George Gibson's weaklings, and he pro
ceeded to give back four of these runs.
1t all happened so quickly those
four Pittsburgh runs, that Robbie did
not have chance to warm up pitcher
before the round concluded. When Max
Carey opened the fifth with double to
left Robbie decided that JEFF had done
ms share and called in Sherrod Smith,
the gangling left handler.
With Carey perched on second, and
