New-York tribune., 1922-06-20

There was excitement a-plcnty from
the very first inning. when Da7zy
Vance struck out the first three Pirate
bntsmtn, but this. was a mere incident
TO what followed. There were spec.
tacular catches IN tense moments. and
the Robins barely missed pulling a
triple play in tho third inning.
Each incident in turn was forgotten
and each inning brought more excite
mcnt. until the final climax IN the
fourteenth. and In that frame all the
glory went to Jimmy Johnston. whose
great sprinting made the score posi-
bic. Jimmy was first up in the four
tccrth. and. racing like q Paddock, he
beat out a tap 20 Traynor. Putting on
little more steam, Jimmy dashed 20
second on Decatur's sacrifice. But that
was q mere workout for Jimmy. The
supreme test came when Zach Wheat
ooped a single into short left. John
ston was covering ground like Man o
War. and with a great burst o. speed
he bert BiRbee's throw 70 the plate By
a hundredth % an inch and the game
over.
The anti-climax came in the thrilling
ninth inning, when the Robins poled
out four runs 20 tie the score. Here
again Johnston was the shining light.
He knocked in two runs with long
double TO left and scored the tying
tally on Tommy Griffth's double %
right. That blow made Tommy Griffith
a hero for the time being, but in fact
every one Of the Robins sparkled in
the limelight for some brief period.
Vance Fans the Side
First there was Dazzy Vance. Dazzy
struck out the first three men 20 face
him and allowed only seven hits I'm the
nine innings he worked True. the Pi-
rates got all their runs OF Vance, but
Il was n combination OF errors and bad
breaks that was mainly responsible for
the scoring.
Arthur Decatur. the right-haader
who relieved Vance in the tenth. also
received lot Of applause for the
splendid way he turned the Pirates
back from the tenth to the fourteenth.
Janvrin, another Substitute. earned the
plaudits Of the fans by making a great
pickup with men on the bases in the
eleventh.
OF the regulars Zach Wheat. Hy
Myers and Tommy Griffith made some
remarkably fine catches at trying mo-
meuts Myers made two fine plays and
hard In spearing q ball against the
right field wall. Il was easily the best
game Of the season at Lbbets Field
and was unanimously pronounced as
such by the 5000 fans.
Glszner kept In step with Vance
during the early innings: in fact. Whit
ey was several PAGES ahead Of Dazzy
until the big bust IN the ninth. Glaz-
1off NIT "a a.
and Earl Hamilton, who succeeded him,
was charged with the defeat. Decatur
was credited with the Brooklyn victory.
Several mighty big IFS entered into
the question Of the Pirates early seor-
ing and this was especially true in the
third when they could have been turned
back without a run. Grimm got a
Texas League double 10 center and
Gooch walked. Glazner attempted 20
sacrifice but popped 10 Vance. The
runners were tearing around the bases
and IL was an easy matter for Vance
70 toss 20 Olson AZ second FOR double
play. G0och was likewise of first. but
Olson in trying for the triple play
threw high 10 Johnston and Gooch got
back in safety Gooeh went 20 third
when Johnston fumbled Maranvilles
grounder and scored on double steal.
Robins Tie In the Fourth
Brooklyn tied IL up in the fourth.
High doubled but was thrown out az
third on Johnston's attempted sacri-
fee. Jimmy went 10 second on o wild
pitch and scored on Myers's single
after Wheat had been purposely passed.
There was no more scoring until the
eighth when Pittsburgh tailed twice
on singles By Grimm. Msranville and
Carey and Glazners sacrifice The
Pirates added their last two markers
in the ninth on Johnstons error OF
BarnhGrt's tap and singles by Rohwer

Then came the Brooklyn rally IN the
ninth Mitchell singled. but was
forced by Olson. De Berry doubled of
the right-held wall, sending Ivy 70

popped up. but nobody got under the
