League Leaders Get 3-Run
Lead i'm Second Inning,
but Robbie's Men Rally


batting slump with vengeance Mt Eb-
bets Field yesterday and took the third
game of the series from the Pirates
by score of to 3. Burleigh Grimes.
Robbie's leading twirler, allowed only
five scattered hits, and only one of
these was of the extra~base variety.
The series now stands two for the
league leaders and enc for Brooklyn,
with the final game to-day.
Burleigh, of the moist ball, was
credited with several other little ac-
complshments besides the five-hit
game. For, in the first place, it was
his eighth consecutive victory and made
his record for the season twelve won
Carson Bigbee, the visiting left fielder,
without hit after the latter had hit
safely in twentythr consecutive
games. Thirdly, Burleigh went hitless
himself and struck out three times,
which is rather unusual for the heavy
hitting Highlander.
The Brooklyn spit-baller had only
one bad inning, the second, but he
wavered long enough to let three
enemy runs cross the plate as the
result of Walter Schmidt's base-clean-
ing triple. Consequently, it was nee
essary for Burleigh's supporting cast
to wipe out the three-run lead. And
this they did to the satisfaction OF
$4,000 anxious rooters.
Dodgers Are Relentless
Once the Brooklyn bats got busy
there was no let up until young
Johnny Morrison, one of Manager Glib
sens rockies, had been knocked off the
hill. And the bombardment was con-
|, tinued when Jimmy Linn, another
fifth. The Dodgers amasscd fourteen
solid blows at the, expense of the
youngsters and Tommy Griffith led in
the attack
The right fielder got himself
single, double, triple and a base
on balls in four trips to the plate
Every member of the Dodger cast col
lected at least one safety with the
exception of Grimes and Kilduff, and
Little Petey was robbed in the fourth
when Bigbee made leapng grab OF
his hard liner.
George Cutshaw, ex-Dodger, was the
only Pirate to hit Grimes with any
frequency. The second bascman col
lected three of the five enemy hits in
four times at bat.
Bigbec's catch was the fore runner of
a brilliant grab by Grimes in the
fifth inning on Schmidt's hard liner.
Burleigh was not even set for the
catch but he stuck out his gloved hand
and Speared the blow. The faithf u ,
who braved the threatening weather,
were also rewarded with another fast
game, as it took only one hour and
thirty minutes to settle the contest.
The league-leaders were rather for
tunate to gather three runs in the
second, and for q time it looked as
if the story of the first games of the
series was about to repeat itself. Cut
shaw singled to center as an opener
and moved UP when Barnhart walked.
Raw Rohwer hunted to Grimes but the
latter's throw to Johnston arrived too
late and all hands were safe. With
the bases filled Grimm flied to Wheat
in short left, but Schmidt inserted his
triple to left-center and cleared the
bases.
Pirate Pitcher Cracks
Morrison was very effective for the
first three innings, but he cracked wide
open in the fourth and the Dodgers
won the game with. four tallies in this
frame. Griffith Clipped the right field
wall with a double and advanced on
Wheat's single. Myers singled to CEN
ter and Tommy scored. Schmandt also
singled, " neat scoring All LHe way
from second. Morrison then uncorked
wild heave which got away from
Schmidt and rolled into the Dodger
dugout, and Myers scored with the
tying run. Scmandt meanwhile reached
third and scored on Kilduff's fly to
Bigbee. Miller followed with the fifth
hit of the inning, but Grimes famed
and Olson flied to left.
Johnston continued where the others
left off in the fifth by cracking out
triple to center field. That was the end
of Morrison and linn relieved him.
| Griffith greeted the rookie with triple
to the corner of the left field, Jimmy
scoring Wheat's double past Robert
son Tailed Griffith. Myers sacrificed
and Zach scored on Schmandt's single
through the box.
The score:
