DODGERS CLEAN UP
WITH THE BRAVES
Win Morning and Afternoon
Games--Vance Fans Ten Men
in Matinee Affair.
by CHARLES f. MArHIsoN.

To the Brooklyn fans 1t seemed i'm
possible that the sun ever shone more
brightly than II did on Ebbets Field
yesterday. The buoyant atmosphere Of
Flatbush was surcharged with uncon-
fined JOY. and the strident shrieks Of
the aleeful Vart!sans of the Dodgers
echoed and reechoed over the wide
stretches OF Kings county.
The reason for the tubilation was
not difficult Of ascertainment The base
ball heroes Of Squire Ebbets's arena
mauled. maltreated and dishgured the
buffeted Braves In two games on one
day by scores OF TO and to 4. BY
this exceptional performance the Dodg-
ers dragged themselves out of the sec
ond division and to-day are perched pre-
cariously in the first section Of National
League society
A total OF 81 900 fans saw the morning
and afternoon combats. $1,000 gathering
at the stadium in the afternoon, and
while the double triumph was very graft
flying to the Squire. yet the turnstile
results were not entirly repugnant 10
him.
Ten Beaneaters Fan.
Perhaps the most conspicuous figure
in the double affray was that OF Mr
Arthur Vance of the Crescent City. who
caused ten Beaneaters to beat the air
brutally within the limits of nine In
nings.
Vance Is familiarly referred to as
Dazzy, this being an abbreviation Of
dazzling. which Is declared to be char
acteristic of his pitching. The youngster
certainly had the Braves dazed for the
greater part of the game. his sharply
breaking delivery completely fooling the
-
three times. Barbara twice. Powell once
Holke once. Ford once, O'Neil once and
Marouard once.
Twice during the game Vance was in
danger The first time was in the fifth
inning when he seemed temporarily to
lose control. Marquard was first up in
this inning and he popped fly to Johns
ton. Barrie padded a single to left,
and then Vance wabbled sufficiently to
walk Christenburg and Cruise. With
the bases loaded with eXpectant Braves,
Tony Boeckel met the spheroid and sent
1t flying to left and not very far from
the foul line
Zack Wheat one of the fleetest out
fielders in.the game. started sprinting
in the general direction of the ball. but
it seemed impossible for him to reach
it. Just when the spectators prepared
to see the ball hit the grass and three
Braves scamper over the home plate
Wheat rose in the air. his hands reached
out and clutched the leather.
1t was not till the sixth that the
Braves averted a shut out. Ford hit
unexpectedly for three bases and scored
on O'Neil's sacrifice fly.
The Braves got some consolation In
the ninth. when they rolled up three
runs and gave the Squire silent chill.
O'Neil beat out an infield hit, and
Gowdy. batting for Marquard singled
cleanly: Powell was smothered at first
on a grounder to High. and Barbara
should have been out. but his pop fly
was. muffed by Schmandt. O'Neil scoring.
Christenbury then doubled to left and
Gowdy and Barbara scored Cruise
walked. and when the situation looked
serious Vance settled down and famed
Boeckel and Holke!
So far as the Braves defense Is con-
cerned it cracked at the outset. the
Dodgers getting six hits and five runs
off Watson in three and one-third in
nings. With one out and one on base
Marquard was called to the rescue and
stopped the rally. The Rube was hit
for a run in the fifth and two in the
sixth. which was the last scoring done
by the Dodgers.
The scores:
