Victory for Robbie's Men Practically Clinches Pen¬nant; Cadore Pitches Fine Ball, While LuqueDoes Well in Rescue Role; Griffith Stars at Bat

By R. J. KellyUncle Robbie's Dodgers continued their mad rush toward the pennant

by again defeating Pat Moran's champion Reds in the second game of.the series at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon by a score of 3 to 2. The'victory practically clinched the championship for the Brooklynites. al¬though it is still mathematically possible for either the Giants or the Redsto finish the season at the head of the pack.Th«? contest starte/1 as a pitching- duel

between Leon Cadore and Hod Eller,but the lutter was forced to retiro inthe seventh when the home playerscame from behind nnd took the lead.Cadore pitched good ball throughoutand limited his opponents to five wellscattered hita The Dodgers' twirlergot himself in several tight holes, buthe tightened up in the pinches andturne«! the visitors back.The Reds' two runs came in the fifth

inning as a result of an error, a baseon balls, an infield hit and two infieldouts. With the exception of KildufT'serro«- in the fifth, Cadore received per¬fect support from his matea and thishelped him considerably on criticalcccasions.

Eller Starts WellDuring the first six innings Eller

allowed only four hits, but the Dodgerstreated him rather harshly in the sev¬enth and forced him to beat a hastyretreat. Señor Adolfo Luque took upthe pitching burden and did not yielda safety for the remainder of the game,but the damage had already been done.Olson's doublo and singles bv Wheat.,Griffith and Myers sent the tieing andwinning runs across before Luquecould be rushed to the rescue.

The Dodgers wasted very little timein getting started and they got awayto a one-run lead in the first inning.Olson, the first batter, reached firstsafely when Kopf made a wide throwto Daubert. Johnston was hit by apitched ball and Griffith came throughwith a two-bagijer to center whichscored Olson. Johnston tried to reachthird on the hit, but he was cut downby Roush's fine throw to Groh. Wheatlifted a fly to Duncan and Griffith wascaught at third on Myers's grounderto Groh.Neither team scored again until the

fifth, when the Reds went into the leadby shoving two runs over. With noneout Kildojf fumbled Duncan's grounderand the runner was safe. Kopf drewa base on balls and N'eale beat out aneat bunt toward tlürd, filling thebases.

Kilduff made a fine stop of Wingo'sroller and nailed him at first, butDuncan scored on the play. Ellerrolled a slow one toward the box andwas thrown out at first, but Kopfcompleted t",ie circuit. Rath thengrounded to Kilduff for the third out.

Dodgers Come With RashThe Brooklyn ites came back with a

rush in the seventh and added twomore tallies, thereby clinching thegame. Olson led off with a two-baggerto right and then took third on John¬ston's sacrifice bunt to Eller. Griffithagain came through with a single toleft which scored Olson.Wheat shot a single to center, put¬

ting Griffith on third, and Myers fol¬lowed with another to the same placescoring Griffith. Luque relieved Elleiat this point and he quickly stemmedthe uprising. Schmandt fanned andKilduff went out on a 'fly to Duncan.The Reds threatened to break

THHE Dodgers now have to winonly six of their remaining ten

games to clinch the pennant pro¬vided Cincinnati loses but one ot itsseventeen games. The Brooklynswould then finish the season withninety-two games won and sixty-two lost, for a percentage of .597.It would then also be impossible forthe Giants to come out on top.

In the event that Brooklyn winssix more games one of these willhave to be from the Giants, as theDodgers are scheduled to play fivecontests with the New Yorkers. Theb-st that the Giants could do thenwould be to win thirteen of theirfourteen remaining games and thiswould give them a final standing ofninety-one won, sixty-three lost,percentage .591. The Reds will haveto win all of their remaining gamesto finish with a percentage of .601.If they lose one game their per¬centage will be .595.By losing to the White Sox yes¬

terday the Yankees are now a fullgame behind the leaders and onlytwo points ahead of the Chicagoteam. Only thirteen points separatethe first three teams in the Ameri¬can League race.

Burns's Fifth Hit Helps DefeatPirates in Tenth Inning, 4 to 3

Toney Victor Over Babe!Adams Before Small-¦est Crowd of Season!The sqia.'icst crowd of the season

at the Polo Grounds saw the Giantspull out a victory over Pittsburgh inthe tenth inning yesterday. The finalscore was 4 to 3. Meanwhile theDodgers were tightening their grip onfirst place by again flattening the Red?,all of which allowed the New Yorkers:to advance to second place wV.ile PatMoran's crew dropped back to third.

Géorgie Burns and "Pep" Young.were the whole works for the winners.Between them they accounted for allfour New York runs, while for Burnsthe game was a picnic. In five timesup he hit safely on each occasion,getting a single, two doubles, a tripleand a home run.Manager George Gibson sent Babe

Adama to the mound in the hope of cap¬turing another contest, and the "vet"proved puzzling as usual, Adams mayte aging, but his lusty right wing«till carries a lot of smoke and bafflingcurves. Fred Toney, lumbering lobber,opposed the Pirate veteran and dida better job as far as fewness of hitsand paucity of scoring chances wereconcerned.

Gibson used thi3 game to try out a

couple of recruits -Trainor at short andMonty Summa in center neld. Summitshowed splendid possibilities, fielding.his position capably as far as he hadto and gathered throe safe hits. Hetakes a nard, straight cut at the balland is fast in getting down to first.The Giants began swiftly and count¬

ed a run in the first inning. Burnscracked out a long drive to far rightand made third standing up. Bancroftfanned, but Young lined to Southworthand Burns tallied, in the third FredToney drove one on high, the kind Ruthhits, but Its height enabled Summa toget under it. Burns doubled and tookthird on Bancroft's single to Cutshaw.Young singled to left, scoring Burnsand putting Bancroft on second, butFrisch and Kelly hit flies.The Pirates came through in the

fourth. Cutshaw singled and advancedto second ön Sum ma's single. Both ad¬vanced on Southworth'.. sacrifice, andCutahaw tallied on Whitted's out. Inthe sixth a home run by young Bigbeegave the visitors another run, and inthe eighth tiie Pirate outfielder againtallied with the tying run. He openedthe inning with a single past Kelly andscored on Summa'a double.Toney began th« tenth with a single

and made third with great effort onBurns's double to right. Bancroft was

passed and then Young singled, «endingneme Spencer, who was running forTori«7. with the winning run.The eeore:

(Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.)While there were a number of keen-eyed critica some time back who

said that Brooklyn MIGHT win.you could see that they were casting thebulk of their glances in the general direction of New York andCincinnati.

And when New York trimmed Cincinnati three straight games thedope was banked ten feet high around the Giants.

In the meanwhile there was a portly citizen in the Brooklyn campwho kept up his air of serene confidence and who refused to let histeam skid.

His name is Robinson.late of the old Orioles.a great jollier, butalso a great leader, who proved no later than four years ago that Brook¬lyn could win a pennant.

The Prop«er MixtureBrooklyn has carried the proper mixture this season.And that, too, in a season where mixtures were a bit scarce, as you

might say.Youthful and seasoned flesh have been well arranged, but most of

it has been seasoned.Neis and Johnston are young enough, and Kiduff is no gray-haired

regular, but Koney, Wheat, Olson and Marquard have drifted throughmany campaigns, while Pfeffer, Mamaux, Myers and Miller are no longerdébutants.

That September FurorYes, just as the fanatical array.outside of Brooklyn, of course.

were wondering on the first day of September whether it was to be Giantsor Reds, these astonishing Dodgers suddenly tossed aside their windingsheets and began to unfold an article of ball a trifle unexpected in so faras their main rivals were concerned. Day after day, through fine pitch¬ing, hard hitting or fast fielding, they began to open up one length afterunother with the best baseball they had shown all year.

Giants, Cubs, Reds, Cardinals and Pirates had all enjoyed unbrokenl-uns of consecutive victories lasting a joyful spell, but it remained forBrooklyn, under Robby's genial leadership, to suddenly step out at theturn of the stretch with a sprint ready where a sprint meant something.

Another UnexpectedAfter the Chapman tragedy the railbirds of the dope again had it

all sized up in the American League.It was to be al! Chicago.Chicago with four good pitchers comingfast.already in front.with both New York and Cleveland badly broken jup and in somber psychological fix to go much further.But Cleveland, after a sinking spell, came back with a bound, the

Yanks refused to quit, and the Chicago White Sox began to slip just asit was all over, thereby permitting their main rivals to scramble backup again, the greatest three-cornered battle for exactly twelve years.If the dope had worked to a logical conclusion.which it some¬times doesn't.Cleveland and New York would have suffered a depressingslump, as the triumphant Sox were extending their lead to a certainty.But Cleveland and New York, in addition to actual strength, showeda lot of gameness by fighting it out.

The Yankees were expected to subside swiftly when they reachedthe West, but a combination of hard hustling, good pitching and*hardhitting held them up.

Hell hath no fury like a slicing dub.

The NoisiestWhen two-foot putts will not drop inYou hear the duffer squall;But the alibi of the cuppy lieIs the noisiest squawk of all.

Perhaps it will be just as well to see how Mons. Carpentier handleshimself against Battling Levinsky before jumping forward to any Demp-eey-Carpentier discussion. Why not consider each striking historical!epoch in turn before rushing the prophetic hurdle?

dropped the second grame of this highly'vroocial" series here to-day to theWhite Sox and it seems to your corre¬spondent that they simultaneouslydropped all notion of getting into thecoming world series.
