n COLO game and hot finish-a frappe

rhat was the dish they handed out at
Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon.
-Four thousand OF the faithful and
hardy shivered through eight innings
ana fevered through half Of the ninth
OF contest which all In all was as
lrigid as the heart OF a profiteering land
iord ana. IN at least one glaring partcu-
ar. as lopsided as a cubist portrait OF
an elephant. 1t was game wherein
club getting six hits, two of which were
nuky, triumphed over another which
hammered out thirteen safe drives, two
or them triples and three doubles Sher-
rod Smith, who lsfthandad for the
Brooklyns. certainly was fortunate to
squeeze through with a decision over
the combined southpaw crorts OF Rube
Marquard and Fred Coumbe.
II the Reds had not sprung a ninth
inning rally. which gave them run, and
died with the tying tally on third base,
there surely would have been numerous
casualties from the unreasonable wea-
ther. But that final acted like a shot
or hootch on hundreds of frozen fans
VINO from time 10 time felt in forget
fulness for the glass symbol Of bygone
era.

Bohne. who made a rathes' erratic throw
which Daubert let go through him, so

the midway. Miller's single to centre
left only himself on the paths. Smith
drove a hard ball at Bohne. who inter-

sult that the pitcher got a double and
Miller reached third. Johnston's sacri-
fee fly to Paskert scored Miller. Smith

Marquard was taken out following the
sixth. but only after he had yielded the
fifth Brooklyn run. 1t did not take long
to gather in that score Wheat walked
and came home when Honey lashed a
two bagger to left. Coumbe retired the
side In order In the next two innings
