SHINE FOR DODGERS
Hy Hits Homer; Drives In All
Runs to Beat Phillies
by 4 to 0.
by DANIEL.


Quoth the sage, Squire Ebbets yes.
terday afternoon in beaming contem-
plation of heart warming picture
while baseball still is comparatively
in its well known infancy business is
good 1t certainly is VIXEN near
capacity crowd will turn out in partial
honor of the Phillies. Some $4,000
Z, strangely wrought up patrons slipped
the nectar of spring which oozed out
of the Flatbush ambient and filled
Ebbets Field with their desires to see
the Dodgers win another game. The
Dodgers did-by 4 to 0.
With Dazzy Vance making good on
his front name and Hy Myers maulins
the leather for a home run. a double
and a single which accounted for every
one of those tallies. twas not exactly
feat for the sevea other workers in
the Brooklyn lineup to accomplish the
desired result Jimmy Ring, who
spends his winters in Ridgewood,
obliged some of his neighbors with
three innings of hitless and runless
pitching. But Jimmy stumbled in the
fourth on Hy's double and took a
header down TIE chute to his first de-
feat of the year in the sixth on four
hits and pass which meant couple
of runs. Lulu Belts was the bird who
was good for the homer.
Vance dazzled with his great curve
ball and his sparkling speed He
dazzled and he dazed. In the fifth
inning he struck out the side--and faced
only those three Willies. What did he
do in the ninth round, after Beeville
Walker had singled and Cy Williams
had walked and danger loomed but turn
in a duplicate of that tanning trick at
the expense of a more potent trio. Park
.nson,- Smith and Leslie strained and
strickland struck at the air. Dazzy
was there-and maybe he didn't drink in
those cheers! In all he famed eight
Futiles.
Six Safeties for PhiIIies.
Vance gave only six hits-and only in
the first inning did the Phillies manage
to hit safely twice. With two gone
Walker and Williams sent singles into
the Wheat sector. But Parkinson flied
to Zachariah, and the boys from Browns
vile out in the bleachers gave Dazzy
one substantial cheer. Smith--Jimmy
the Tourist-playing short because
Fletcher's ankle still was weak--got a
when Post let Vance's throw drill
through him. But the next three were
helpless.
Smith got another hit in the fourth
and went out stealing. A single by
Parkinson IN the seventh and that
Walker blow In the nintf---these COM
pleted the attack of-tlle boys from Bill
penn's bailiwick.
With Vance pitching that way II
hardly was necessary for the Dodgers
to come through with any deeds of der
ring do in the field. The star move was
Wheat'S catch off Walker in the sixth
and il was only foul. Sam Post, try
ing to look like Jake Daubcrt on first,
made some success with his left handed
ways, He needs more training with his
feet around that sack.
A slightly tainted hit started Ring
toward his downfall-like the first drink
In Ten Nights in Barroom." Ring
had faced only ten Dodgers in three in
nings, one having got on through a
pass He had lot OF stuff and knew
what TO do with II. But that first n
upset him. Johnston opened the four,h
with a slow one to deep short. Smith
made great throw, but Jimmy beat il
by cats whisker-and Ring was ub-
done.
Then Myers Doubles.
Tommy Griffith lifted TO Williams,
Wheat flied to Walker; then Ring got
two strikes on Myers-two strikes and
only one ball. The Phillie decided to
try for the third and sent one just right
Myers met II just right, and 1t was a
double to right center, which drove i'm
Johnston. Ring tossed out Post and
went to the dugout shaking his head.
A hit by Vance with two down went
TO waste in the fifth because High pro-
vided the third out. But the sixth saw
"A lot OF action and heard a lot OF cheer
ing. Again 1t was Johnston who set the
stage for Rings discontinue. Johnston
hit to left for base. Griffith walked
and Wheat hunted toward third. Ring
came up with the ball too late and
Zachariah got a hit. which clogged the
bases.
Then the Phlllies displayed strange
defense. They moved in for another
bunt--and let us say they were outta
luck Two strikes again on Myers. and
still the PhIllies were sucked In for
squeeze. Funny The signal came for
the hit and run. all Dodgers started and
Myers lined to short. Had Smith been
where he should have been, the chances
for double and even a triple play
would have been excellent But with
Smith on the grass. the blow Just eluded
