Mack Wheat's Error Gives
Brooklyn TWeIve-Inning VIC
tory at EbbetS Field.

Mack wheats eagerness to double
Hy Myers infield hit in the twelfth
inning, resulting in a wild throw over
Paulette's head allowing Brooklyn to
send two runs across, robbed the
lowly Phillies OF a golden opportunity
to defeat Brooklyn in a game which
terminated in the Dodgers favor by
a score of 6 to 5. The victory put the
Dodgers in first place again.
In the early stages of the game IT
appeared that the issue would be de-
cided by the winner OF a pitching
duel between Smith, the Philadelphia
moundsman, and Jeff big" Pfeffer
This did not materialize, however, for
the big Brooklyn twirler succumbed
to the heavy hitting of Paulette and
Stengel in the sixth bringing about
his retirement in favore of Galore.
The passing or Rowdy Elliott and
a double and Single by Ivy Olson
and Griffith enable the Dodgers TO
collect two runs in the seventh inning,
tieing the score.
The Phlllies ND to this point were
lighting like a team well up in the
first division, threatening to start
troublesome batting rallies. In every
Inning they were on the offensive. As
precaution against losing, Robby
yanked Galore out of the box In the
seventh inning and sent in Mamaux,
who has pulled many games out 81
the FIRE Of late for the Dodgers. Nam
aux did not last an inning, for in the
eighth he walked Paulette and Rawl-
ings and was called to the bench
Burleigh Grimes replacing him. This
proved to be Robby's most sensible
selection of the afternoon, for the
Phillies we're held well in check after
the Brooklyn manager had called
upon all his first string pitchers.
Artie Fletcher broke the deadlock
in the twelfth inning when he scored
after singing between second anc
short. Wrightstone doubled to left
Fletcher going to third. Grimes re-
tired Wheat. Cravath, batting fol
Smith, was passed, Paulette hit (
McCabe, who tried to cut Fletcher of
at the plate, but his throw TO Ellio
was low and the eX-Giant shortstoI

phia team in the twelfth, was hit 10
singles by both Olson and Johnston

Paulette, the opposing first 8acker,
had a busy day in the field and played

Uncle Robby during the past sea-
