DODGERS RAISE 1920
PENNANT, THEN WIN
Judge Lands Is Chief Figure
at Gala OccasiOn-PhiIs
Lose, A to 2.
BY DANIEL.

Brooklyn raised its 1920 pennant at
Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon and
then proceeded 20 lower the colors OF
Philadelphia by to .. 1t was one Of
those old fashioned gala occasions OF
the patented Charles Holiday Ebbets
type. Judge Landis high commissioner
of baseball, was there and so were
Mayor Hylan, John A. Heydler Lieut.
Gov Wood and probably every justice
in Kings county. It looked like a con-
vention of bench and bar.
There was a parade TO the flagpola
out in centre field. with Judge Lands
at the head of the procession, and then,
while a band umpahed and blared. Will
bert Robinson and Bill Donovan head
mastod tlfe well known pennant ana
flung Il q the Flatbush breezes. The
crowd OF 5000 pledged is allegiance to
the neat tailor made present from the
National League, made a wish for an
other this season, and then watched the
Dodgers squeeze through in game
which had many interesting features.
II was q battle between Burleigh
Grimes. who really should have pulled
that pennant to the top of the pole,
and Bill Hubbell, both righ: handlers.
Hubbell gave eight hits and Grimes
yielded eleven. but the Phillies wasted
seven OF their safe blows. while the
Dodgers made ell except one OF their
wallops count. And that's what wins
ball games.
Now for a few peculiar twists in this
hilarious season OF home runs. con-
stant changes of pitchers and long
drawn out games. Not only did the two
hurlers who started last the route. but
they limited all the hits to singles
just nineteen one baggers. And what's
more. the game was rushed through in
little more than an hour and q half.
Dashing work in the field. with eln-
phasis on n double which Olson started
In the ninth inning and which killed an
incipient Philadelphia rally, added no lit
tie to the elan of the occasion. Will
iaIns opened the final round with q
single to right Lee smashed q terrific
liner at Olson which the veteran speared
with a leap into the air. He made
great throw to first and caught Williams
Off his base. Brugsy famed TO send
the crowd home.
PhflIies score in First.
The Phillies got run in the first. and
IL gave them the lead for three innings.
With two down Meusel beat out hit to
short. Wrightstone singled to centre,
and when Myers let the ball go through
him Meusel scored.
Brooklyn went to the fore in the
fourth with two runs. Up to that stage
the home crew had got only one hit eff
Hubbell. Grifllth's hit to right inaugu-
rated the rally. Wheat singled to Rawl-
ings and then Schmandt sacrificed.
Myers lashed a long single to centre
ard drove in two runs.
Philadelphia tied in the fifth. Rawl-
ings singled to left, went to second while
Dots Miller was being thrown out by
Olson and scored on Meusel's one timer
to right. In each OF the four innings
thereafter only three Phillies faced
Grimes.
It was in the sixth that Brooklyn got
all It needed to win that particular ball
game. Johnston beat out hit to
Parkinson, whose throw was far too
studied. Jimmy stole second and went
on to third when Bruggy's poor throw
carromed into right field. The run was
registered later when Schmandt singled
to left
Brooklyn got one for good measure in
the eighth. Again it was Johnston who
started things with q single. Again he
stole second. Wheats single to right
sent him home. The score:
