Braves Batter Way
To 6-to-5 Victory
Over Robbie's Men
Error by Johnston Coupled
With Strategy and Pep of
Visitors Decide the Issue

NC OooSeIS crashed 60 earth at
Ebbets Field yesterday at the feet of
the fast-fying Braves in an interesting
see-saw battle. An unfortunate, error
by Jimmy Johnston decided the issue
IN the eighth inning, when the Dodgera
might have squeezed through to VIC
tory. The score was 6 to S.
About $4,000 persons turned out for
the single game and witnesses the splen-
did fighting spirit which has carried
the Boston team close to the ton.
While 1T was the error which put over
strategy Of manager un s vas rsed re1 Mtc5 sh1
which decided the contest Mitchell SO
manipulated his men in the eighth that
victory was made possible.
The Braves suffered a severe blow
when second baseman Horace Ford re-
ceived broken nose from a batted
ball in the first inning. Johnston hit
twisting grounder and the ball took
a q, lively bound right at Ford's nose, so
that he was forced off the field.
Galore started for the Dodgers and
got along fairly we'll until the Braves
started to hit in the fifth. He got into
trouble frequently thereafter and Rob
bic would have done we'll to take him
cut. Galore, however, stayed in too
long and was not removed until he had
put the winning runs on the bases.
Ruether pitched fine ball after reliey-
ing Caddie in the eighth.
Substitute Gets Homer
Joe Oeschger was Cadore's opponent
at the start, but gave way to a pinch
hitter in the sixth and Scott pitched
while. Gowdy batted for Scott in the
big. eighth and McQuillan retired the
Dodgers in order in the eighth and
ninth. Scott was credited with his
second victory in two days, as he
trounced the Pirates on Saturday.
Cadore almost won his own game
when he hit home run into the left
field stands in the sixth inning. Lloyd
II. Christenbury, who substituted for
! Ford at second, also registered a home
run to deep center field.
The Braves were first to score with
single tally in the second. Boeckel
singled through the box and scored on
O'Neil's single to left.
The Dodgers went into the lead in
their half of the second with brace
on Schmandt's long triple to certer.
Ray counted when Kilduff singled 10
right.
Brooklyn added another in the fourth
on Schmandt's single, sacrifice,
Krueger's scratch hit and Barbare's
subsequent wild throw. The Braves,
however, tied the score in the next
frame when they opened a lombard
ment after two were out. Powell
singled to left and Barbara hit to
right. Captain Southworth doubled
and both men tailed.
The locals again tipped the balance
in their favor in their half of the fifth
when Johnston scored on double steal
with Neis. Jimmy walked and reached
third on Wheat's single. Neis forced
Wheat, but with Galore up, Bernie and
Johnston engineered double steal, the
latter counting and making the score
to in Brooklyn's favor.
Galore Gives Up
Christenbury then evened the count
with his homer, but Gadore's circuit
clout again put Brooklyn in front, 5
to A.
Holke and glastonbury singled in
the eighth and O'Neil sacrificed That
was Cadore's cue for an exit. Ruether
went to the mound and Gowdy batted
for Scott. Hank was purposely passed,
filing the bases. Nixon ran for Gowdy.
Nicholson batted for Powell and tapped
to Johnston. Jimmy had an easy force
out at the plate, but his peg was low
and got away from Kruger, while two
Braves denied the plate. If Jimmy had
nailed Holke the Dodgers would have
won, as Barbara flied out. The score:
