Game at Last

Long Contest Within 8
Days, Downs the Phillies
By r. ]. Kelly

The Dodgers finally won an extra
inning game yesterday afternoon, when
they beat out Cactus Cravath's Phero-
cious Phillies at Squire Ebbets ball
park in the tenth frame. The score was
to d. Uncle Robbie's crew had previ-
ously played four long distance con-
tests in a span of eight days, but had
dropped them all with the exception Of
the famous twenty-six inning tie with
the Boston Braves on May l.
Leon Galore, who was one of the
heroes of the record breaking contest
started on the mound for the Robins
yesterday. but he came far from going
the whole route. The Philies fell on
him for total Of four bingles in the
ffth round and Robbie gave him the
rest Of the afternoon off Sherrod
Smith took up the twirling at this
point and held the visitors runless for
the remainder of the game, although
he got IN several tight holes.
Meadows Pitches Well
The bespectacled Lee Meadows was
Cravath's pitching nominee With the
exception of the fourth stanza, in which
the Dodgers combed him for four hits,
he gave very creditable exhibition,
and would probably have finished the
game without much difficulty had not
Cactus decided to inject himself into
the fray in the ninth frame in his
we'll known role Of pinch hitter. George
Smith, formerly of Columbia Univer-
sity, pitched the last two innings.
Bases on balls came thick and fast
during the course of the afternoon and
no less than five batters were purposely
passed on various occasions lack
" Wheat received two Of these free
Both teams filled the bases in the
ninth round, but alright fielding pre-
vented either from scoring. The
Quaker clan again had the paths
crowded in the tenth, but to no avail.
konetchy started the Dodgers half of
the final frame by flying out to Ban
croft, who ran out to center field to
make the catch. Neis slammed clean
single to right field. The young out
helder then stole second.
The play was close at the keystone
sack, and when Umpire Mccormick
called Nels safe, the Phillies swarmed
ABOUT the arblter and registered vehe-
ment protests. Mccormick settled the
argument by chasing them all back to
their various positions and the game
was resumed However, it didn't last,
much longer, as Kruger shot a single
past r. Miller and Neis scored with The
winning run.
me Dodgers assumed a commanding
lead IN the fourth by tallying three
runs. With one out Myers singled TO
right field, and Konetchy followed with
olngle to center. Neis then doubled
70 70 LETT, scoring Myers and sending
Money to third. Kruger, the next
oa1ler, shot single to center, which
scored both Honey and Neis.
