Lee Fohl's Brownies gave Robbie's
Brooklyn champions taste of Amer
Jean League high life here Tuesday
afternoon, the Fohld viciously bat-
tering three Dodger hurlers, Galore,
Post and Miljus, for twenty-one hits,
aggregating forty-two bases to win,
pulled up, IL to 3. It was one of
those days which so characterized the
Browns last summer to set them on
the top of the world as the heaviest
hitting aggregation Of, murderous
fence busters.
What undoubtedly is a record was
created by the Fohleys in the fifth
inning when nine runs were scored
prior to the first out on eight hits,
two by Sisler, pass and an error
of Southpaw Sam Post. Six Of the
hits were in succession and all were
clean, decisive wallops, the majority
of them made off the first pitch to
each batter. Four doubles were in
terspersed and one home run, this by
Williams. In the eighth Williams got
his second homer off Miljus imme-
diately after jacobson had combed
one over the right wall. Burwell fol-
lowed with another in the same
round.
Bill Gleason set off the fuse to the
hickory field day in the first when
he slammed his first of two doubles
and three hits to center. He rode
home on George Sisters line drive
over the center fence. Thereafter the
Browns failed to count in only three
innings, Galore turning them back
orderly in the second and Miljus adj
ministering similar medicine In the
sixth and seventh. Every member
of the Browns hit safely, including
Wetzel, who batted for Shocker in
the fifth chapter.
Shocker, pitching the first five in
nings, was treated roughly. Eight
ringing hits were CLEANED off his de-
livery, but bone plays by the Dodgers
and a sterling Brownie defense kept
the Flatbush boys within the two-run
limit. In the second Honey, Lamar
and Neis poled triple, homer and
double in succession, but only one
run, the lump roundabout" WIS
scored. Honey was caught between
third and the plate, trying to stretch
his hit, and Mis- was doubled off sec
onld when, enormously thinking that
two were odt, he ambled off the mid
die bag on Kilduff's high fly to Will
liams.
It was in this frame that Williams
hung up somewhat Of a record with
two put-outs and two assists.
Burwell finished for the Browns
and in four innings held the cham
pions to three bingles and one run.
Umpire KLEIN of the National
League, calling the balls and strikes,
was paired off with Lefty Leifield,
who waved them out and safe on the
bases.
Brooklyn was lucky to. get here,
even two hours late, as a wooden
bridge over Bogue Chitto river, sew
eral miles from Bogalusa, was all but
washed away by the. flood caused by
the recent storm.
Owner Ebbetts, Manager Robinson
and other dignitaries, players and
passengers were forced to hoof it
ACROSS the trestle work, on the other
side of which train was waiting to
carry them to their destination.
All but three players are here with
Uncle Robbie, Grimes, Hi Myers and
Zach Wheat still being on the hold
out list. 1t may be that the results Of
the game today will cause Ebbetts to
give in to the demands of these three
athletes.
