SCHUPP FANS NINE,
BUT PHILLIES WIN
Triples by King, Miller and
Williams Feature Defeat Of
Dodgers, 5 to 2.

Those ambitious Phillles, sittin' and
whittlin' and wishin for the season to
stagger to it's demise. fiared up like a
real ball club at Ebbets Field yesterday
and saved game from the wreckage
Of the series. As for the Dodgers, life
these days Is just lying in ambush for
the Giants. Anxious to face the New
forks here on Friday nice and fresh
the Brooklyns did not let themselves
perspire too freely in the dank and
cheerless atmosphere of Flatbush. They
accepted trouncing by 5 to Q with as
mach grace as possible
II the Phillies possess nothing else be-
yond that handy right field wall over
in their sardine can ball park they
possess a regular pitcher-regular In
spite of a pair OF horn trimmed spec
tacles. 1t fell to the lot Of the Dodgers
to face this finger. Lee Meadows. yes
terday. and Lee was a little too good
for them. Meadows had all the better
of Ferdie Schupp. who went six innings.
and of Sherry Smith. too.
II 1t had not been for couple Of
errors In the sixth. Meadows might have
scored shotout. As 1t was. the victory
was quite an accomplishment, for the
Phillies won only six out Of twenty-five
games with the Brooklyns this year.
Their relations for the season closed
with the game.
Ferdic Fans Mine.
Schupp's principal claim to some
small measure OF credit came OF his
tanning nine of the Phillies. Two moro
of the ambitious ones fell before Smiths
left handlers via the strikeout route.
Monroe was a victim thrice. Meadows
did nothing in particular In the tanning
line, but he was mighty stfngya with
his hits OF which only seven went to
the home crew.
II was in the sixth that the Dodgers
got their runs and reused the pass hold
ers out Of their reveries. To open the
round Johnston was safe on Parkinsons $
boot Griffith hit to right. and when
Wheat forced Griffith Johnson ad-
vanced to third. Myers singled to left
and sent in the run. King handled fhe
ball as If it were. hot coal. SO that
Wheat ran all the way to third.
Zack scored while Monr De was throw
ing out Schmandt.
The Phillies did some staunch slugg-
ing. trio Of triples. by King, Williams
and old man Miller. playing big role
in the accumulation of the five runs.
Miller had a field day with the bat,
hitting triple. double and single. The
Phillies began their scoring In the
fourth. Lee singled stole second. took
third on wild pitch and home on
hit by Konetchy. Honey scored when
King delivered his three bagger.
Miller Is Destructive.
In the fifth the visitors got run
when Henline singled. was sacrif1ced
to second by Meadows and was prodded
over the pan by double by Methusaleh
Miller.
The sixth saw another Philadelphia
tally. Williams sent the score on Its
way with a triple to right. He fingered
while Honey went out and King was
passed, but he carried the run In on a
hit by Parkinson
The fifth run for the last placers came
off Smith In the ninth. Meadows
singled. and was forced by Monroe. who
was useless citizen with the bat all
afternoon. Then Monroe was caught on
first. Miller sent triple to right. and
when Lee followed with double to
left Dots darted over the goal
The Dodgers do not play either to-day
or tomorrow, but on Friday-that en-
gagement over at the Polo Grounds.
The score:
