Third baseman Al Smith had 5 hits and 3 RBI as the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated
the Kansas City Athletics by a score of 19 to 11 at Ebbets Field.

Smith made sure the Brooklyn fans enjoyed themselves.  He lofted a three-run
bomb in the 1st inning, tripled in the 3rd inning, lined a one-base hit in
the 4th inning, laced a base-knock in the 5th inning and banged out a single
in the 7th inning.  Brooklyn provided plenty of action in the 1st inning with
4 runs on 4 hits and the 8th inning which saw them score 5 runs on 4 hits.
The Brooklyn offense man-handled the Kansas City pitching staff as they
scored in 7 of the 9 innings.  

The victory went to Curt Simmons(9-5) who went 7 and 2/3 innings, allowing 9
runs. Frank Lary(8-8) was hit with the loss.  He was knocked around by
Brooklyn, allowing 11 hits and 5 walks in 4 innings.
