ny DANIEL.
It wasn't a very tasty or recherche
affair from the standpoint of technique.
nor did It fizz with deeds OF derring do
in the field. 1t dragged through the
best part OF the week end and became
cloyed with the worst kind OF pitching.
aimless throwing OF the ball and an
overdose OF scoring. But with all that
there was nary fan among the 27.000
who jammed Ebbets Field TO overflow
Ing yesterday afternoon. who did not
become wildly enthusiastic over part
ing triumph for the Dodgers over the
Braves by 12 to 8.
Wild hitting, which at some stages
became as free as some OF that Green
wich Village verse. a tumble of scoring
and coming up from the ruck-by all
the Brooklyn club-made the contest
one OF those "hallelujah and glory be-
events for the homo fans. And above
all. let US not forget that 1t was Brook
lyn which won. and stretched It's streak
OF triumph 10 four games-a most salu-
tary upbuidlng OF confidence prepara-
tory TO taking on the Giants In a four
game series which will be started this
afternoon.
Boston used three pitchers-one at a
time OF course-and the less said a.aout
these fingers the better. They worked
on that hill like lot OF right felders
all thumbs. The first was Dana Fill
lingim. and when he wasn't filling 'em
with passes he was filing 'em by the
old reliable hitting route. Dana acted
as II he were back pitching again for
Connie Mack. and had to be taken out in

third. But Boston stlll was leading az
that stage by 4 to 2.
An outfeIder Finishes.
Al Pierrott took F7llingim's place and
let in another run In that session. But
Pierrotti at his worst was only one
inning away. for in the fourth the Dodg-
ers put over six runs and took the lead.
In the midst OF that jamboree Pierrotti
was taken out too and Lefty Eayrs, who
Is listed as an outfielder and proved the
listing TO be accurate, went the rest Of
the route. 1t was a rocky. hilly road.
Brooklyn opened with Leon Cadore on
the mound. but three run start by the
Braves convinced Wilbert Robinson that
he had erred IN his selection. AL Ma
maux went to the hill in the second
and pitched seven fairly neat innings.
ors Of the day. for in six trips TO the
plate the third sacker isot four hits and
a pass. Two OF Jimmy's hits were re-
sounding doubles, and he came home
with three runs. Let us add that he
also stole a base-making II a fairly ac-
tive afternoon FOR one ball player.
The attack on Cadore In the opener
was quite lusty Barbara singled and
so did Southworth. Nicholson forced
purpose, filling the bags. Boeckel sin
gled 10 centre and sent two home, and
when Neis made wild throw 70 third,
Cruise scored. too. Oison's single and
Johnston's double gave the Dodgers one
in their half In the third they got
two on a pass TO Johnston. a single
BY Griffith, a double by Wheat and a
fielders choice 70 Konetchy.
With Plerrottl on the mound Miller
opened the big fourth with double TO
right centre. Mamaux tried to sacrifice.
but Pierrotti made a two base wild
throw to first and Miller scored the run
that tied Olson dribbled one to Pier
rotti, who for some unknown reason
thought ne had a play at second, and
there we're two on.
Johnston then beat out a hit TO
Boeckel. Tho third baseman threw
wildly to Holke. letting Mamaux score
and putting Olson on third and Johnston
on second. Brooklyn now was one to
the good. Griffith popped to Nichol-
son. Pierrotti then left and Eayrs en-
tered the game.
Neis Hits In Time.
Wheat forced Olson at the plate and
Konetchy walked. Myers walked too.

single to right scoring Wheat and
Honey. Neis and Myers started double

EaJrs forced IN another run in the
fifth. in which he Issued three passes
with a single thrown In. Three hits,
including triple BY Hood and a double
by Johnston, gave Brooklyn two more
in the seventh.
Fred Mitchell benched Ford and sent
Nicholson to second 10 add power to his
batting order. And before we forget

feat came In the seventh and marked
the end OF a long series OF Intellectual
attempts by the outfielder. He has
