DODGERS VICTORS I
IN IA INNING GAME
Winners Tie Score in Ninth
and Hit for Run in Last
Frame.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

Not since 1916. when Brooklyn won
one game in the worlds series with Bos-
ton. has there been in Flatbush so tumul-
tuous a scene as that attending the four
teen inning victory by the Dodgers over
the Pirates yesterday afternoon in the
Ebbets Stadium. The final count was
6 to S. and when Jimmy Johnston, who
had played surprisingly like a busher In
the early innings, crossed the plate with
the winning run the frenzied and fam
ished fans cit was long after the dinner
hour) arose and shrieked In gleeful
abandon for several minutes Johnston
had made amends in the ninth inning
when the Dodgers. overcoming a four
run lead. tied the score. and again Ia
the fourteenth frame when he Nopened
with SINGLE raced to second on Grit
fith's sacrifice and home on Wheafs
single.
I 1t looked very much as though Gooch
had applied the ball to Johnston's shln
before the runners cleats hit the rubber,
but Umpire Sentelle declared the runner
safe. The Pirates made little protess,
realizing that the decision would not be
changed and also that they were very
late for the evening meal.
The game as a whole was a mixture
Of brilliancy and blunders. The Dodgers
came within hairs breadth OF making
a triple play in the third inning and
that, in addition to Dazzy Vance's reat
in striking out the first three batters IN
the opening inning, gave the AFFAIR an
auspicious look from the Brooklyn
viewpoint. Incidentally, the Pirates
scored their frst run in the third after
the failure Of the triple play. Grimm
opened with a double and Gooch drew
pass. Glazner then popped a ny tina.
Vance ran over and caught. the pitcnef
shot the ball to Olson at second, getting
Grimm far off the base. Olson made
uufck throw to first to catch Goocn, VINO
had started for second. but the ball wert !,
wide of the mark and Goocn regaNieu
the cushion. Johnston fumpled Maran-
ville's grounder. Gooch getting 10 thi'o
Maranville tried to steal second. but was
oa,,eht between bases. The side would
have been out, but Johnston dropped
toss from Mitchell and all hands were
safe. Gooch getting home on the error.
griffith Makes Good Catch.
Tom Griffith put a stop to the bur-
,ssnue hy making q one handed eaten
Of Carey's hard smash to right. Grirtith
nicked the ball off tho boards wltn MS
left hand.
The Dodgers got their Ilrst run
which tied the score in the fourth. on
Highs double, Wheat's pass ana
Myers's single. Wheat was purposeiy
passed and then Myers hit safely.
With the exception of wonderful
one handed catch by Myers of Rohwer's
line smash in the fifth there was little
of interest till the eighth. when the
Pirates fell upon Vance for three singles
and a sacrifice netting two runs. They
added two more in the ninth. on john
ston's tumble of Barnhart's smash,
Rohwer's single. Gooch's double and a
wild pitch.
1t looked desperately bad for the
Dodgers when they went to bat in the
ninth, but the gloom soon turned to
jubilation when the home team began
to hammer the ball all over the lot
They drove Glazner off the mound and
made 1t interesting for Hamilton. who
succeeded to the dangerous position.
Singles by Mitchell and B. Griffith
and doubles by De Berry. Johnston and
T. Griffith. gave the Dodgers four runs
and tied the score. The remaining in
nings were bitterly fought, but Wheat.
