In the first game of the Brookt; St. Louis series Meadows sent ‘ent over for the visitors and up to th eighth stanza, just as tho crisis was about to be reached, Lee's pair of eyes took a turn for the worse and the remnants of what looked like an absolutely good ball game were scattered to the winds, Final score: Dodgers 5, Cardinals 2. From the manner in which the St. Louls aggregation played it looked very much as if they had received news from home that all their rents had been raised. One thing is cer- tain, they did not handle the pill as ail good major league players should. There seemed to be dissension in their ranks, and perhaps there ts. ‘Tho. team argued with the umpires on various occasions, and when not en- gaged in this they argued with them- selves. If there is a family feeling on Branch Rickey'’s team is sure did take a furlough yesterday. If medals were to bo handed to the hero of the contest Zack Wheat would make Sergt. York look like a piker. In the eighth stanza, with the score even ail around, the Dodger outfielder sent the pill on a journey over the rightfield wall for the cir cuit, This turned out to be the win- ning run, but in order to be certain Zack's team mates came across with three more wallops, one double and two singles, and two more home players breezed across the platter. Uncle Robby, who shoots ducks In the winter and shoots advice into the Dodger players during the summer, in a hard day's work. In ad dition to taking his place in th third base coacher’s box during thi entire game, he ran (this can verified) TEN yards after a foul ball.’ The Dodger manager showed he |i some pumpkins when it comes to coaching. In the eighth inning, Sehmandt rested on first base as the result of a wingle to center, Mack Wheat, the next man at bat, hit a Texas leaguer just in back of second, Smith, the Cardinal's center fielder, made a hard try for the catch, bu the ball got away from him an Heathcote, who was playing right, picked the pill up. The latter evi dently forgot Schmandt was on and started a conversation with th pellet. When one of the Cardinal informed Heathcote that the ball w: still a ball and not a souvent Schmandt, through Robbi wie coaching, was on his way home and scored easily. | Scampering across home plate from first on a Texa leaguer is not bad baseball at all on Brooklyn's part. as far as the exigency demanded, lost the pastime in due time and—well, that’s all there is to it. No distard- ance whatever. These one time swashbuckling Pi- | rates act as if they were either dead | or mighty sick, It may be a trick by which they hope to catch us napping at some later date, but they certainly did toss some gloom over that lot yes- terday, Uncle Hughey McGuire sat right next to me and his morale got so low that I thought he'd burst out! crying: “If they'd only say something—talk to each other, to the umpire, or any- thing. ‘This is awful.” And that’s the way the comments ran all afternoon. But for Wilbur Cooper miscalculating the range and pitching the game away in the third inning there would have been noth- ing to relieve the deadlines of the gathering. That was pretty good, though. After having walked Burns and Young, Chase was safe on an error of Mr, Cooper himself. The Pittsburgh tosser then walked Baird and forced in Burns, A long fly by Heinie Zim- merman got another one around, which was exactly enough. From then on the Giants lay back and got little sad themselves, 1t was catch- ing. Perhaps it would be best to explain, however, that prior to this eventful inning Lew McCarthy, back in the game after a Sunday rest, came up to the plate and saw Arthur Fletcher perched on second, The proper action was apparent to most everybody. Mc- Carthy grasped it and promptly whaled the pill into the right field stand, nicking a sleeping sailor on the bean, and both he and Fletcher | rode home on the wallop, The numerous matchmakers of clubs in Pittsburgh are wrangling be- tween themselves over dates for open air boxing shows, and unless they come to some agreement the police authorities there threaten to close down the sport. Battling Levinsky and Harry Greb were to have fought at Forbes Field on Saturday night under the auspices of the Keystone A, C., but as one of the other clubs claimed they also had the date, the police refused to allow the bout to take place, Dan Morgan, manager of Levinsky, received word last night from Promoter Routley that the bout will most likely be staged on June 5, Levinsky will get into shape for the contest at a gymnasium at Pittsburgh, Jimmy Dunn, manager of Johnny Kilbane, who called off two bouta for Kilbane in Phila on account of the eericus illness of Johnny's daughter, will probably Kilbane go through with Bis six-round bout with Jocy Fox, the Eng- Aish featherweight, at one of the baseball parks in Philadelphia on June 16, as ho figures that Kilbane’s child will be well enough by that time to allow bim to box.
