These Dodger twirlers were so far ahead of the three Boston stars. Shore, Ruth and Mays, in their work that they only allowed the world's champions to score two runs while they were making seven, five of which came in the eighth inning. Up to the eighth it was as good as a world’s series contest. In this frame the Dodgers squeezed three hits off Mays, the only pitcher they Sacceeded in beating last fall in the big series. Moreover Mays appeared tu have lost all sense of direction by hitting three batsmen and passing an- other. Fabrique, the Dodgers’ shortstop, ' carried off both the batting and field- ing honors of the day. Out of five trips to the plate he hit safely four times and received a base on balls. Ir the short fleld he handled seven :| chances. The outfield work of Hickman, Johnston and Myers was far ahead of th: Sox trio of flelders.

For a'time in the opening half, the locals gave their friends some heart by fighting the opposition and managed to keep within a few points of the lcad, but in the second half, there was little to it but Hartford. Captain Hibbard was the only local player to perform in a manner deserving special mention.
