BIG SERIES GAME
GRIMES HOLDS
TRIBE AT BAY
WITH SPLITTER
BY HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.

6--Cleyeland's Indians succumbed today
to the same poison that laid out the
Dodgers yesterday.
Spitbau pitching par excellence, which
Coveleskie got into the potion Of the Ma
tional League champions in the opening
game, wss served back to them today and
Brooklyn evened the count by winning
the second game of the big series. 8 to o.
Grimes scored shutout for Brooklyn,
holding the American Leaguers TO seven
hits. In only one inning were the Cleve-
lsnders able TO drive out more than ons
safety.
just as Coveleskie made the Brooklyn
bats almost useless yesterday, Grimes
used the same spitball slants TO baffle
the Indians today. He was invincible
and breezed through the entire. game
without facing danger except in the
eighth inning. when streak of wildness
seized him. He walked three batsmen-
bat pitched himself out of the hole cour-
ageously with the dangerous Doc
Johnston at bat. He was backed bril-
hantiy by the entire Dodger team.
While Cleveland was making a vain
effort to solve Grimes, Brooklyn was
having no trouble with Big Jim Bagby.
The Cleveland right handler was de
cidedly of the form that won him
thirty one games this year. He was not
only Ineffective in the box, but made the
only error of the game, a wild throw to
second base that made possible the sec
ond run of the game.
Bagby was relieved in the seventh in
ming in favor of a pinch hitter, Jack
Graney. who famed
George Uhie then took up the burden
Sand performed most acceptably. striking
out three of the six men who faced him.
Brooklyns first run came in the open
ing frame After Olson had flied out
Jimmy Johnston singled and went tc
second on Grifith's infeld out be
romped home when Zach Wheat raped
viciously to center and by good base
running, stretched his single into a
double.
Grimes himself started the machinery
that turned in Brooklyn's second run
IN the third inning. He singled and took
second on Bagby's wild throw. Tommy
Griffith came through with timely dou-
BILE and scored him. Bagby was in a
tight place. He purposely passed Wheat
and filed the bases. Further scoring
was prevented however. when W. John
ston forced Olson and Griffith was cut
down at the plate
Griffith jumped into the limelight again
in the fifth inning when he singled and
scored Olson. who had previously raped
TO center
Cleveland had only two real chances 70
score. In the second inning Gardner led
of with double. but Grimes. by quick
thinking. caught him off second when he
felded Doc Tohnston's roller
The eighth was a panicky inning for
the Brooklyn fans But Grimes, after
walking three batsmen, recovered his
poise and the danger was over With
the exception of the eighth inning not
Cleveland player reached third base.
Ebbets field was filed to capacity again
today. though the fans were slow in
finding their places The attendance was
anuounced officially as ., ,s94. With the
game count even, both managers prob.
