ATLANTA, Ca. April 5.-Another OF
those cushion fight finishes ended the
Yankee-Brooklyn game abruptly to-day.
The Dodgers won, to 4, and have taken
four games of the series to seven Tor
The Yankees. Mays was Just what the

The Yankees gave Dutch Ruether a
handsome grilling in turn. but were done
scoring when Cadore, with his 1umpy
speed, took the throne.
Strings OF Yankees were left on the
bases, thirteen men. to be exact There
was some frail club swinging with men
on bases. and moreover there were
startling plays by Lamar and Kilduff
to rob New Workers Of hits and help
Ruether out of difficulties.
The game was pretty bunglingly
played by the Yankees all around. Ward
and Hoffman, made plays which showed
poor headwork, hits were wasted, Mays
pitched poorly and Meusel stood gaping
while a ball struck In front of him.
There will have to be considerable re-
duction OF ri gged and headess ball OF
this type for the Yanks to be pennant

like prospective psnnant winner.
