of the season, to 2.
There never was any doubt as to
outcome of the game after Captain
Ferdie Harkins had shot the red pill
into the Bridgeport cage during the
first three minutes of play. The ball
was constantly in the visiting teams
territory and the brilliant passing of
Evans, Harkins and Lewis had the
red and black bedecked athletes at

Score in Third.
Not until nearly three minutes of
the third period had been played was
Bridgeport enabled to slip, the pill in

made through a long drive by Quig-
ley, the Bridgeport center, that
eluded the watchful Hueffner.

spect he enjoys distinct advantage
over which ever American League
team wins the pennant
Great Pitching Staff.
Granting that pitching will have
much to do with deciding the issue
in the coming series, it is apparent
that the Dodgers enjoy an edge at
the stake, for R7ook1yn's pitching
staff is stronger as a whole than the
staffs of either the Indians or White
Sox-
The victory Of the Dodgers IN this
years campaign was honestly earned
and well deserved. Wilbert Robin
son got the last ounce of baseball out
of every member of the team and
the fac. that the newly crowned
champions won a majority of games
| throughout the season from every
other team but the Cincinnati Reds
proves that they played consistently.
A resume of the games played shows
that the Dodgers won e majority OF
games in every month of the race
with the exception Of June, when
they got into a slump.
The fact that the Dodgers must in
wade an American League city for the
first three worlds series games is
not looked upon as a handicap, for
Brooklyn has been a good road club
all year.
