WINS FOR DODGERS.
Olson's Poor Peg Robs Twirler
Of Shutout Over Braves
Score 5 to 2.


BOSTON. April 25.--Dutch Ruethers
left handed slants proved too much for
the Braves here this afternoon. and the
Dodgers scored a to 2victory over the
Beaneaters. Ruether pitched shutout
ball, and would have went through the
Afternoon without being scored on but
for a wild peg by Ivan Olson over Ray
Schmandt's head in the third round,
which resulted in the Braves scoring
their pair of tallies. There were two
cut when Ivan made his poor throw. II
was Ruethcr's third victory OF the sea-
SON, and In addition to pitching great
ball the southpaw poled out one of the
longest home runs ever made here when
in the fourth frame he lifted one OF
Dick Rudolph's shoots into the right
field bleachers. There were two out ana
the bases were empty when the Babe
Ruth OF the Dodgers delivered his long
blow. 1t was the third time that ball
has been hit into the bleachers on
fly since he park was opened seven
years ago. Cruise when he was with
the ST. Louis Cards performed the stunt
and repeated when he became member
Of the Braves.
Dick Rudolph. the veteran right
handler, pitched the first seven sessions
Dodgers made all their runs off him.
In the second round the visitors piled
ND an early lead when they found Dick
for four bits and three runs. One or the
tallies wa sthe result OF an error at the
plate by Hank Gowdy. Myers started
the batting rally with q one baggcr. ana
after Schmandt was robbed OF triple
By a running catch by Nicholson in deep

In the fourth session after Olson and
Miller were disposed Of the Dodger
pitcher leaned on one of Dicks slants
and the ball sailed high and far over
Southworth's head. It cleared the wire
screen in front OF the right field bleach
ers by several feet and landed among
some fans. In the sixth round Dutch
protected his batting average when he
worked Rudolph for a pass. but his
mates failed to push him around the
bases. In the seventh the final Brook
lyn run was made Johnston led Off
with angle and Tom Griffith sacri-
feed. Johnston moved to third on
wheat's infield out and crossed the plate
when Myers bounced single into left
field.
The Braves gathered their pair OF un-
earned runs in the third chapter. Powell
grounded out to Schmandt and Kopf
drew q pass. He took second on South
worth's> single and both runners adj
vanced nearer the plate when High
tossed out Nicholson. Boeckel then sent
q grounder at Olson, who ran in and
picked UP the ball. Ivan then hurled
it over Schmandt's head and before Ray
recovered 1t near the Dodgers dugout
Kopf and Southworth had scored and
Boeckel was resting on second. Bar
bare then batted for Holke and Ruether
struck him out.
In the fourth inning Umpire Hart got
himself in dutch with the fans when he
called Gowdy out at second. After Ford
had flied to Griffith iGowdy hit one
Dagger. Rudolph then raised u pop, fly
in short center, which Olson muffed.
Myers picked up the ball and hurled 1t
to Johnston in time to force Gowdy.
Johnston dropped the ball, however, but
the umpire evidently did not see the
muff and ruled Gowdy out. The Braves,
led by Manager Mitchell, kicked strenu-
ously on the decision and Hart chased
the Boston manager off the bench. The
fans were on Hart for the rest OF the
day.
The Braves had a chance to score In
the ninth when they filled the bases on
passes to Kopf and Boeckel and Bar
bare's infield hit. Three runners were
left when Ford sent a ny to Myers.
