DODGERS BEAT REDS
IN FOURTH INNING
Three Pitchers Fail to Stop
Brooklyn From Making
Z Runs-Score, 81.

The fourth inning at Ebbets Field yes
terday afternoon was the biggest the
Dodgers have enjoyed so far this season.
Pat Moran used three pitchers in the
single chapter, but the Dodgers treated
them all alike and the seven Flatbush
athletes who paraded over the plate en-
abled the Dodgers TO even the series by
beating the Reds, Q to 4. The Dodgers
hammered out eighteen bingles and
eight OF them were crowded into the
fourth session. Ray Echmandt. with
two Dagger and three singles. was the
chief slugger Of the day. Schmandt made
two singles in the fourth, and off diff
ferent pitchers.
Eppa Rixey started the contest for
the Reds and in the first three innings
he was found for six hits. but two bag
gers by Schmandt and Kilduff in the
second round resulted In the only run
made off his left handed slants during
that time. His finish came in the fourth
and Fred Coumbe replaced him. The re-
lief hurler pitched to five batters and
then turned the burden over TO Bob
Geary. who during the winter time is
member Of the Cincinnati police force.
The Dodgers had more respect for the
cop than they displayed for his prede-
cessors and only three hits in two and
one-third rounds were made off him.
The big Fourth Inning.
Myers was first IN In the big fourth
and was tossed out by Rixey. Schmandt
cracked single to centre and the fun
was on. Kilduff and Miller singled and
Schmandt counted on Otto's wallop.
Ruether followed with a long drive that
hit the Bedford avenue exit gate for
double and Kilduff scored. That blow
ended Rixeys career and Coumbe was
called from the bull pen. Olson greeted
him with single TO left that scored
Miller and Ruether. Ivan went to third
on Johnston's single and Neis lifted
sacrifice fly to Duncan that scored OIL
son and sent Johnston TO second on the
throw In. Wheat was safe when Sammy
Bohne juggled his grounder and John
ston scored on the error. Myers, up for
the second time in the inning, shot a
single TO left that sent Wheat to second.
That was enough for Coumbe and Geary
the cop went to his rescue. Schmandt
then made his second single OF the round
and Wheat scored with the seventh run.
Kilduff ended the agony with short
fly to Neale
Geary gave way TO q pinch hitter In
the seventh and Hod Eller finished the
game. The former shine ball king was
found for tally in the seventh. 1t
was the result of Schmandts fourth hit,
a single Kilduff's sacrifice. an error by
Crane and force play at second, on
which Schmandt scored.
Ruether Goes the Route.
Dutch Ruether went the entire dis
tance for the Dodgers and got revenge
on his former teammates for the beating
they gave him recently in Porbville.
Dutch was unsteady at. the start OF the
game and the Reds piled up an early
lead. They scored two runs In The
first round Neale walked. and after
Bohne famed Groh singled to centre.
sending Neale to third, from where he
scored on Roushs sacrifice fly. Daubert
was safe on Johnston's tumble. and

Kopf walked and Rixey sacrificed
Ruether sent kopt to third with n wild
pitch and Bohne's single sent him
across the plate. In the seventh inning
Dutch issued another pass, and 1t was
turned into what proved TO be the Reds
final tally. Duncan walked, and after
Hargrave was retired on a fly to Neis
Kopf singled to right. sending Duncan
to third. Kopf tried to stretch the nit.
but Neis threw him out at second.
Brossler. batting for Geary, hit safely
and Duncan scored.
One OF the features OF the game was
Kilduff's fielding around second. The
midget made several great stops during
the battle.
