The New Yorks appeared to be suffer-
ing from slight reaction from their
nerve racking trip through the hinter-
land. They did not seem able to do
many things effectively. They were un-
certain at bat errng and often flabber-
gasted in the field--at times altogether
too prone to ruminatc on the uncertainty
of life. There was that bit of nimble
thought and action of Earl's Smiths, for

The New York not only had three
errors charged against them but they
saw many hits bounce from their eager
grasps and complaining shins. Their in
fielders suffered the swift passage of
many a drive which cluded them tan
taIizingly by matter Of just foot or
two. What with this. that and the
other thing-and the failure of John the
JuGgler's hitherto absorbing act--it was

voyageurs from Manhattan who had
plunged recklessly into the enemy's

those who kept bowling their allegiance
to the New Yorks--for every howl came
back in the form of a wild razzberry.
There were a few developments which
might give you the mistaken impress
sion that the game was slightly
cuckoo. For example. there was Ivan
Olson tucking his whiskcrs under his
shirt and getting three singles and a
double. Also, there was the binding
spectacle OF the Dodgers working a
double steal. This epoch making hap
pening hurtled into the third round,
with Schmandt scoring and High going
to secondhand a poor short throw by
Smith aiding and abetting the fusieers.
The Dodgers changed their style and
sacrificed all over the lot. They re-
modelled the old hitting game which
they had used almost exclusively before
their invasion OF the West. Schmandt
used UP three sacrifices all by himself.
Other notable incidents were Smiths
making only base on a rash off the
top of the right field wall. few nifty
plays by Bancroft and Johnston. and
