DODGERS DEFEAT
QUAKERS BY 5 TO2
victors Require Eleven In
nings in Which to Subdue
Their Opponents.
BY CHARLES #. MATHIsoN.

1t will be the cause of general regret
to the friends of the Brooklyn ball
team, which defeated the Phillies yes
terday afternoon by to 2. to learn
that the Dodgers have contracted the
reprehensible habit of tantalizing Sec
ond division teams with hopes of win
ming a game and then snatching the
victory away from them.
For ten successive innings at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of 10000 amiably disposed fans
the Dodgers flattered the Quakers with
visions of being able to send word to
the folks at home that a glorious vic
tory had been achieved at the expense
of the Flatbush athletes. When the
Importance of a winning game to
team in last place is considered it can
readily be understood that the action
of the Dodgers in putting the winning
run over the rubber in the eleventh
frame was nothing short of jocose
cruelty.
Encouraged by their success in the
early innings, the Quakers performed
with great energy and considerable
skill, and they acted like men who,
realizing that they played for Phila-
delphia, which has two teams in last
place. still had hopes of doing some
thing to improve the baseball situation
in the town of incurable somnolence.
But the eleventh inning proved to
them that they were the victims Of the
t'latbush idea of humor. This was
proven by the easy manner in which
the Dodgers gathered in the winning
run in the last part of the eleventh
session. After Williams Walker and
Lee had been snuffed out in the
eleventh on easy flies, the Dodgers got
busy with the stick. Myers hit hard
one TO short and was out on a close
play. Schmandt then hammered a clean
single to center. after which Arthur
Fletcher, formerly the esteemed short
stop of the Giants. fumbled juggled
and otherwise disported himself with
Olson's grounder till such time as Ivy
was safe on first and Schmandt was
anchored on second.
Then came Battling De Berry with a
screeching single to left and Schmandt
galloped home at a Whiskaway gait
with the run that ended the affair.
Cy Williams Gets a Homer.
The Quakers were In the lead by
/ to 0 for the first six innings, due to
u tremendous hit over the centre field
fence in the first inning by big Cy
Williams for leisurely trot about the
base lines Williams. by the way, ap-
pears to be making a serious attempt
to get into the home run spotlight
He has made three within a few days
Harry Shriver, who had the hurting
assignment Tor the Dodgers then settled
down and held the Ouakers runless till
the seventh, when Peters's single, Wein-
erts sacrifice and Rapp's double gave
the astonished visitors another run. In
order not to let the Quakers get too
far ahead, the Dodgers collected a run
in the seventh. Zadk Wheat reversed
the usual procedure and was hit by
the ball After Myers had flied to
Walker, Janvrin, batting for Mitchell,
singled and Wheat cantered to third.
Olson forced Janvrn at second and
Wheat scored on the play.
Cadore was called to the mound at
the beginning of the eighth, and he dis
posed OF the Quakers in quick order.
Then the Dodgers proceeded to make
another run and tie the score at two
all. Johnston was safe on Fletclfer's
tumble, and 3. Griffith sacrificed the
runner to second. Just at this point
Zack Wheat drove a sizzling liner to
left for three sacks and Johnston
ambled home. Myers was out at first
and Wheat was unable to stir fott
from third. Schmandt was passed, and
then Olson ended the inning with a
weak pop to Fletcher.
The ninth and tenth frames found
each team going out in one two three
order. Then came the eleventh and
curtains for the Quakers
Andy High made n play in the fourth
inning that cnt off runs. with Walker
on third and Fletcher on first, the re-
suit of singles, Peters smashed hard
one down the third base line. High

across to Mitchell in advance of Peters
