Several things combined to give the [Dodgers a viotory over the Cardinals n the opener of their three-game se- Jries, principally errors by the Huggins an, which were put to admirable use by the Brooklyn team. Four large- zed, full-grown misplays blossomed fforth from the Cardinal defense, and ch error had its share in the final ally. The score: . h.

Some inquisitive per- [son asked John, “Why all this haste among your clan, and what may be ithy destination ” “I can’t tell myself,” answered John. *“But we'rs sgoing there.” The fall triumphal march was stretched out another lap on the Polo Grounds yesterday, as the friendly old Bruins wouldn’t think of being so rude as to snap a perfectly good winning streak. Ferdie Stubblefleld Schupp tamed the Cubs by a score of 4 to 2, and the streak is now fifteen victories long.

The home team won the first game when Cooper weakened in the sixth inning after two men were out and was knocked off the rubber, sev- en runs being scored in this session.

The man in the crowd, because of Alma Richards’ great reputation as an Olym- plc and intercollegiate winner, was prone to overlook the fact that Brun- dage, ‘'a deadly consistent performer right through the list, is more effq tive in the old all round championship test than Richards, who stars in half of the events and ‘“‘flivvers” in others. that wins all round tests, and so it It is the man who can ‘“keep going” | was at Weequahlc park last Saturday.

Neville has twice registered scores against the ’varsity since the squad reported two weeks ago, both by the drop kick route.
