Olson fouled out to Agnew, O'Mara doubled to center, Marquard ambling to third. Scott threw high to Hoblitzell, and Daubert rcached first in safety, Marquard ! scoring. Bases on balls figured as usual in the scoring of the Dodgers’ rivals. Brooklyn pitchers cannot overcome this habit. They showed nothing of twirling art which was accounted foy by the fact that none of the three Manager Robinson worked today was keyed up to concert pitch. | Marquard was best.
