bOSlON, April 10 nc braves peal
the Dodgers to-day in the tenth inning,
to s, when John Miljus, the third
Brooklyn pitcher to be called upon to
stop the Boston sluggers, issued pass
to Horace Ford with the bases full.
Miljus was not much to blame, as
heavy fall of rain seriously handi-
capped his work
Jack Scott went the Whole distance
for the Braves and allowed the Dodgers
eleven hits, four of which were doubles
and two triples. His victory gave tho
Braves the edge in the opening series
of the season by two games to one.
Sherrod Smith started for Brooklyn
and was failure. He had little of the
stuff he showed last Sunday in Brook
lyn against the Yankees. Four hits for
three runs in the fifth, when the Dodg-
ers had gone into the inning with a
lead of two runs. and run off Smith
in the first put the Braves one to the
good.
Smith started the sixth, but retired
IN favor of Mamaux when the first bat
ter singled. Ford scored while Mamaux
pitched the sixth, but the run was
charged to Smith. Neis batted for
Mamaux, and Miljus finished the game.
Nicholson Makes Three Hits
Fred Nicholson made four hits in
four times up for Boston on Wednes-
day, and made three in his first three
times up to-day, giving him seven con-
secutive safe blows, including two
doubles and a triple. Miljus stopped
him in the seventh on g grounder to
Johnston.
The slugging and the n-getting
began in the first inning when each
side scored on extra base hits. John
stan doubled to center for Brooklyn
with one out. and after Griffith had
struck out Wheat tripled to right,
scoring Johnson. Myers died on
strikes
Powell opened the first for Boston
with tbs first of his two three baggers,
popped u Johnston. but Southworth's
long fly to Myers scored Powell.
Powell doubled and took third when
Griffith's throw to second went
through Olson, but Olson redeemed
himself by throwing out Boeckel on a
hard chance.
The Dodgers went ahead when
Konetchy tripled off the score board
in center to start the second inning
He held third while Barbara threw
out Kilduf and Kruger walked but
rode home on Smiths single to center
that moved Kruger to third. Olson
grounded to Scott and Kruger was
trapped between third and home on
SCOTS toss to O'Neil. O'Neil ran
sprinted to third and tagged Smith,
who was trying to reach that bag on
the fielder's choice.
The Dodgers made it to ! in their
favor when they scored in the fourth
with two out. Kilduff walked and rode
home on Kruegers double to the left
field fence.
Boston Takes the Lead
Boston made UP lost ground and
went ahead by scoring three runs
from four hits in the fifth. Ford
walked and O'Neil famed. Scott
forced Ford for the second out. Xii
hit over second, but failed to force
Scott at second by close decision.
Barbara tripled to right center, scor-
ing Scott and Powell and evened up
the count.
Southworth's s single to left sent home
Barbara and gave the Braves a lead
of one run. Nicholson got his seventh
consecutive single, and Boeckel walked,
silling the bases, but Myers made one
of his famous running catches off
Holke's line fly, leaving the bases full:
Uncle Robbie stuck to Smith and
sent him back for the sixth, but when
Ford sir gled to lett off tho first ball
pitched Smith was derrlcked and
Mamaux went to the rescue. O'Neil
sacrificed and Scott was out on strikes,
but Powell cracked his second triple,
which was to right, scoring Ford. Kill
duff threw out Barbara.
Uncle Robbie's men staged one Of
their famous rallies in the seventh,
when they put over two runs on three
hits and made the count five all. Bernie
Neis batted for Mamaux. He scratched
hit in front Of the plate, which
O'Neil threw wildly to first. Neiss
extreme speed enabled him to reach
third on the hit and error, and he got
home when Ford threw out Olson
Johnston doubled to right and went
home on Griffith's double to right cen
ter with the tying run.
The winning run for Boston in the
tenth was tragedy. Southworth sin
gled off Miljus to left. Nicholson
popped foul to Honey Rain begar
falling heavily and it affected Miljus's
control. He issued his first pass t(
Boeckel. Holke's hot liner over ohm
ston's head was knocked down, bu
went as hit, filling the bases. Miljus
got count of three and two on Ford
and then threw ball entirely too high
and Ford walked, forcing home South
worth.
