RASTERN LEAGUR Neal Ball's Timely Hit and Fast Field- ' ing Atds Murilins n Downing Plant- ers—Dawrence Bests Worcester. New London, June 2.—New Haven gained sweet revenge on the Planters at Plant fleld here yesterday by emerging triumphant by a score of 4 to 1. The Murlins got away t0 a splendid start by scoring three times in the first inning. The Planters saved themselves from a shut-out by | c&#° pushing over a tally in the third round. Another run by the Murlins in the sixth, wound up the scoring for the day- Neal Ball, t.h. triple play king, was the bright star of the contest. When he strolled to bat in the first round he found the bases crowded and two men out. Ball looked the first one over and on the next ball' pitched, hit it to deep center for two bases. Three runners scored on the clout and it gave New Haven a commanding lead which the Planters could not over- come. Ball also played a phenomen- al game afleld, knocking down sev- eral hard hit balls. New Haven’s oth- er run came in the sixth when Whalen scored Flaherty from third base with a sacrifice fly to Trout.

Fifty-five Minutes Required for Ome Frame at Binghampton. Binghamton, N. Y., June 2.—Nine- teen runs were scored in the first in ning of a New York State Leagu game here yesterday between Bing- hamton and Utica, but the efforts ef the runmakers wefit for naught, as the game was called at the end of the fourth inning because of darkness Utica opened the attack with ted runs acquired mestly through the wildness of Binghamten's pitoher. Then three Utica pitchers were ham- mercer for nine runs. All told seven pitchers worked in four innings. It took 56 minutes to play the first in- ning. WHAT DID You GET ON THE SIXTH GEORGE. FORGOT Te CHAMPIONS RALLY AND DEFEAT CUBS o | Robins Overcome Four Run Lead and Win in Final Inning Chicago, Juné 2.—The Dodgers ‘|'opened thejr first Western trip with a & to 4 victory over the Cubs here yesterday afternoon. The champions showed all that the name implies in coming through with a ninth inning rally for two runs and the game. It was not the most scientific battle Chicago has seen this year, but for real excitement few contests have been better. It was rather a sad battle for the home team and its sup. porters. Until the very last inning there was every indication that the rooters for the Cubs would be sent home happy. Even after Brooklyn had fought courageously,against a se- vere handicap out into the lead Chi- in ‘turn came back with a wal- lop in its half of the ninth and was cheated of victory only because of al- most superhuman defensive play. Not. once but twice Brooklyn fielders came’ to the rescue of Jack Coombs and blocked the tying run. Before the day was done the con- test took on the aspect of a parade. No less than twenty-six players took an active part, fifteen for Brooklyn and eleven for the locals. Uncle Robble ‘was forced to use four pitch- ers; three twirlers got into action for chlesm one, however, as a pinch bitter. Vaughn, the big Cub south- paw, was handed four runs advantage in the very first inning, but finally had to be taken out with one gone in the ninth after the winning run had been put over. Casey Stengel made the redeeming single off Phil Dotglas. ‘The score: Brooklyn Chicago . 400000000—4 7 2 Batteries: Marquard, Dell, Cheney, Coombs and Meyers; Vaughn, Douglas and Wilson. Good-bye Jinx. St. Louis, June 2.—The Giants in- augurated their first Western tour by hopping on Miller Huggins’ cripples for & 2 to 1 victory. There wouldn’t be 80 much credit to the accomplish- ment but for the fact that it entailed the smashing of varied jinxes. First of all this is one town where McGraw's men usually bump into a heap of trouble. Next, Tesreau beats the Cardinals about as often as there is & total eclipse of the sun—and not much oftener. Besides, Tesreau was £0] to tear off Lee Meadows, the bmulod twirler of the Mound City, who is usually just about as tough for the Glants as pitchers can come, The score: . 011000000—2 6 1 . 010000000—1 4 1 Batteries: Tesreau ahd McCarty; Meadows, Packard and Snyder — Phwtes Pitchers Poor.

Cincinnati, June 3.—Harry H. (Hank) Gowdy, the Boston Braves' catcher, set the pace for the mafor league players when he enlisted in the army yesterday afterncan.
