With two out in the ninth inning and
the Yankees leading by l to 0, the
Brooldyns tied the score. Then. in
the tenth, they fell on Lefty O'Doul
for four singles in row, put over
three runs and very deservedly won
by 4 TO l.
1t was the second straight success
lead in the series. 3 to 2. We say
Brooklyn deserved TO win. for the
Yankees collected only three hits
against a round dozen. One of the
bright, delectable features was the
pitching of Dutch Ruether, who in
the first five innings gave only one
hit-a double by Devormer-and faced
only eighteen men.
About 5000 fans turned out for the
game and spilled over into the field.
