recognized as the best in minor
leagues by far. Johnny Dobbs thinks
a lot of his infield, and he is anxious
to show it beside the Indianapolis
combination. Besides that, Dobbs
wants to get another game under the
Pelicans' belts before they set sail for
Shreveport where they play Shreve-
port Saturday and Sunday for the
championship of Louisiana.
Yesterdays uninteresting game
was a surprise and disappointment.
The final score was 9 to 2. When
the Browns warmed up, they looked
so good one had to pick them to win.
But the running of the race proved
differently. The Browns do not play
like they warm up. They probably
will win the warm-nY championship
of the American League without OPP
position, as they are easily the best
warming-up major leaguers seen here
this spring.
Even after the opening bell rang,
though, the game promised excite
ment. Because ShortstOp Gerber
of the Browns ushered it in by pol
ing a three-bagger to deep center off
Clutch" Reuther. Reuther buckled
to his task then, however, struck out
Gleason, himself threw out Sisler and
retired Jacobson on grounder to
Konetchy.
And for the rest of his stay on the
mound he was a stingy cuss with base
hits, barring his pitching to Gerber,
who either has his number or is re-
lated to him. The Browns went out
in order in their second, but Reuth-
er spoiled Gerber's grounder in. the
! third and Gerber not only was safe,
but obtained hit for it.
Then in the Browns fourth, Reu-
theirs own. error paved the way for
their only run off him. He threw
wild on Sisters grounder and George
went all the way to second. Reuther
walked jacobson, heaving the last
ball wild, and Sisler went to third,
from where he scored on Tobin's
clean single-t to left. A single, with a
base on balls in the fifth, but no runs,
was the worst the Browns could do to
Reuther in the fifth.
After that Galore took the hill for
Brooklyn and showing a world of
stuff, he held the Browns to two hits
through the sixth, seventh and eighth
and even didn't appear to be weak
ening in the ninth when three hits
gave the Browns their second and
last run. SEVERED led off with a
two-bagger, his second double Of the
game. Galore famed Dudley, who
was pinch-hitter Gerber went out,
Kilduff to Konetchy. Gleason sin
gled to left, scoring SEVERED. Sisler
dropped a Texas Lacquer back Of
shortstop, but the rally ended when
Galore threw out jacobson.
