Mitchell Steadies After Poor
Start and Gains Easy Victory
Robbie's. Men Pile Up 1o
Hits Off the Pitching
of Hubbell and Belts

The Dodgers had little difficulty in
winning the first contest of four
game series from the lowly Phillies
at Ebbets Field yesterday. They
pounded tho offerings of Hubbell- and
Belts for nineteen hits, while Clarence
Mitchell subdued the Philly batters.
The final score was 10 to 4. 1t was
Brooklyns fourteenth victory Of the
season over the cellar champions.
The visitors gave. poor exhibition
in the field before the small Sunday
crowd. The pitchers were ineffective
and HuDbell blew two-run lead which
his mates piled up in the first inning.
After the first inning MITCHELL set
tied down to a fine exhibition, but Jet
up in the eighth, when his team was
leading, 10 to 2. The Phillies, scored
their final runs in this inning on five
hits.
The nineteen hits, which included
two triples and q trio of doubles,
equaled the Dodgers season record
for safeties. Every member of the
team registered at least one hit with
the exception of Neis, who played only
half game. Myers collected triple
and two singles, while Kilduff had
three singles.
LIE Bourveau Stars in Field
1t was slow and unnteresting
game, the only play out Of th& or
dinary being a fine running catch by
Dewitt lie Bourveau, the Philly right
fielder, of a short fly by Olson. The
Dodgers completed two double plays,
but apart from these plays the fielding
was ragged.
Ed Konetchy, who made his first ap-
pearance at Ehbets Field in Philadel-
phia uniform, received q hearty well
come from the fans when he walked to
the plate. He forced over the first
Philly run by drawing pass.
