Southpaw Ruether Holds
Former Teammates to
Six Hits; Score Is 9 to 4

Your Uncle Robbies Dodgers had a
field day against four Cincinntti
pitchers at Ebbets Field yesterday and
evened the present series by smuggling
out 9 to victory. dutch" Ruether
the Brooklyn southpaw, meanwhile
was master of his former teammates.
setting them down with six hits.
1t was quite record for the
Dodgers to pole out eighteen hits in
thirty-nine official times at bat, but,
moreover, every member of the team
contributed at least one hit. Ray
Schmandt, who is at present leading
the team in batting, did the best work
with the stick. Ray banged out four
hits in succession-a double and three
singles. Johnston had a double and
two singles. while Ruether hit two
long doubles.
All this heavy hitting was done at
ers. Eppa Rixey, the tall left-hander,
was presented with three-run lead,
but could not hold it and was knocked
out in the fourth inning. Fred
Coumbe next appeared and lasted just
onethird of an inning. Bob Geary was
the third twirler to step forth, and
managed to retire the side after seven
runs had crossed the plate. Hod Eller
was the Red moundsman in the sew
enth and eighth.
After this demonstration Ruether
had only to put the ball over the plate
but Dutch" was very careful about
pitching. He did not allow hit in
FIVE innings, but in the seventh the
Reds punched double and a single
with base on balls for their fourth
run. Ruether was q trifle unsteady at
times, issuing four passes and uncork-
ing wild pitch. He also struck out
four Reds.
Reds Get Early Lead
Cincinnati got off to two-run lead
in the first inning. Neale walked but
Bohne struck out. Groh singled to
center, Neale reaching third. Roush
scored Neale with sacrifice fly to
Wheat and Groh went to second on
the throw-in. Johnston booted Dau-
bert's grounder, Groh going to third,
whence he scored on Duncan's single.
Ruether's unsteadiness cost another
run in the second. Kopf, first up,
Neale at bat, the pitcher let loose his
wild heave, Kopf going to third. Neale
fouled out, but Bohne singled to right
.
With two out in the third inning,
Schmandt put the Dodgers in line for
their first run with a double to center.
Kilduff duplicated the blow and Ray
scored while Petey perched on second
Miller punched out the third hit, but
Kilduff was nailed at the plate by Dun
cans peg.
Rixey fell with a crash in the fourth.
Myers was retired and Schmandt again
started the trouble. Ray ingled to
center. Kilduff singled to left and
Miller hit to center, all of which re-
suited in the second run. Ruether's
double tailed Kilduff and knocked out
Rixey. Olson's safety off Combe scored
Miller and Ruether.
Combe Chased to Cover
Johnston prolonged. the assault with
single which sent Ivy to third. Neis
hit sacrifice fly, counting Olson and
moving Jimmy, along. Bohne fumbled
Wheat's grounder, allowing Johnston TO
resigned in favor of Geary. Schmandt
thumped his second hit, scoring Wheat,
but Petey flied to Neale. The inning
Melted eight hits and seven runs.
A base on balls started the Reds off
to their final run in the seventh inning.
Duncan walked and Kopf singled to
right, sending Duncan to third. Kopf
was out trying to stretch the blow by
Neis's fine throw. Pinch-hitter Rube
Bressler doubled to right, Duncan
scoring.
Brooklyn's ninth run was also regis
tered in this inning, and again it was
Schmandt who started it. Ray got his
fourth hit and Kilduff sacrificed. Mil
Ter was safe on Cranes error, Schmandt
going to third. Ray scored on Rueth-
er's force-out.
Luque will probably work against
Galore in the third game to-day
There will also be a game tomorrow
with the Reds, being play-of of
postponed game.
The score:
