17 Here Is How Camera Saw Disputed World Series Play Braves Down Indians With Malice Toward None BY BILL LEE Sports Editor By 1-0 With Holmes Driving In Lone Run THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT: THURSDAY, OCTORER 7, 1918. (Continued From Page 1.) World Series Boxscore history of the World Series. Not since Art Neht or tne uianis tnus humbled the Yankees 2a years ago has a team won a World Series victory on a single run. Not the greatest of the Coopers-town immortals could have done much to improve upon the superb pitching of Sain and Feller. Sain did not walk anybody and one of the three passes issued by Feller was the intentional one to StanKy.

Oct. 6. The bus carrying tne Cleveland players was poking along through traffic. Everybody looked glum, none more so than Bob Feller, who had pitched a two-hitter and lost. Feller was staring at the crowd walking along Commonwealth Avenue after the first game of the 1948 World Series.

"Nice game. Bob." a fan yelled from the sidewalk. Feller didn't answer. There wasn't a flicker on his expression to show that he had heard. He just stared.

Who could blame the Iowa farm boy for feeling lower than the Infield gras. He had just held the Braves to two singles, one in the fifth the other in the eighth, but the final score had been Boston 1. Cleveland 0. Not many pitchers in World Series history have pitched that well and lost. If you've heard anything at all about George Stallings, the miracle man" manager of the 1914 Braves, you must know about the story they tell of Stalling deathbed remark.

He lay dying and knew it; so did his friends, one of whom sat at his bedside. Well, friend said, "'it's been a tough life you've had." In the last analysis, bain was 2ithe better pitcher, even though he oiave UP four nits to Feller's two. The base on balls that Feller gave with as much vehemence as he a cinch if it wasn't for those "Tough hell." Stallings replied could muster. "It would have been blankety-blank bases on balls."

(UP.) There were tears in the eyes and a catch in the voice of Bullet Bob Feller. He stood in front of his locker, surrounded by the silent sympathy of his Cleveland Indian teammates, with the shattered fragments of a long-visioned dream scattered at his feet. And the Iowa farm boy, who pitched one of the greatest games in World Series history only to lose it, tried gamely to a smile. It was a pathetic sort of a grimace. His lips worked and no sounds came out.

He gritted his teeth and lifted his eyebrows to clear away the tears of a heart breaking defeat.

Curve Fools Indians. Big Johnny, who might have been with the second division Detroit Tigers today had not late Commissioner a Mountain Landis declared him and numerous other Tigers free agents some years ago after discovering, that the Detroit organization was hiding players in the minors, was never better.

His sharp curve ball foojed Gordon, Boudreau. Keltner and Judnich. Six of the Indians were strikeout victims. After Boston had scored in the eighth. Sain had to face Boudreau.

Gordon and Keltner in the ninth, the three most threatening of the Indian batters. After taking one called strike, Boudreau lashed at a pitch and lifted a fly to Mike McCormick in center field. The first two pitches to Joe Gordon were off the plate, but he fouled off the third, took the next for ball three and swung fruitlessly at a curve to bring the count to three and two. Then he got under one and Alvin Dark bounced an easy ground ball down to Bob Elliott at third base. Elliott backed up a step, took the bounding ball, aimed it care-fullv and threw to first for what should have been the final out.

jThe throw took off and zoomed far over Earl Torgeson's head for a wild throw that chilled the hearts of Braves rooters and put the possible tying run on second base. If Sain was upset or angry, th only way he showed it was by bearing down as if to take personal charge of the final out. The batter was Walt Judnich. Strike one called. Strike two Braves stormed from the bench to greet their triumphant pitcher.

Indian Stranded. Keltner singled off Sain in the second but died at first base. Jim Hegan reached on an error by Elliott in the third and stole second, but that was as far as he went. Joe Gordon singled and stole second in the third, but Sain Gordon and Keltner to leave Doby stranded on second base. Nobody else reached any base until Elliott gave Keltner his life in the ninth.

Feller was almost as ovemower-ing in his masery of the Braves as Sain with the Indians. The first eleven men to face rapid Robert went down in order before Torgeson walked in the fourth to become the first Boston base runner. Marv Rickert. the rookie called up from Milwaukee a week ago to fill in for the injured Jefr Heath, led off with a ground single in the fifth for the first hit off Feller. Salkeld sacrificed him to second, but Mike McCormick and Stanky were no problems at all for Feller.

Record Equalled. The Braves went down in order in the sixth and seventh as Feller poured it on, but Bob himself helprd choke them off with a dazzling play in the Rpventh. Torgeson. firnt up. mashd a hard ground ball to Eddie Robinson's right.

The Cleveland first baseman made a great back-handed stab of the ball and Feller, racinr to beat the fleet Torgeson to the bag, just made it. A record as equalled when the Braves outfielders made 15 put-outs and another matched when the Boston infielders had only three assists. This was one of the fastest World Series games of all and. ex- cept for Elliott's two errors, it was flawlessly played. It was only ten minutes past two when the crowd stood for the seventh inning stretch.

The game was over and the crowd on its w-ay at 20 minutes before three. All this strange business was due to the combination of a fast game and the 1p.m. starting time. It will be southpaw Warren Spahn and right-handed Bob Lemon on the mound in the second contest, unless the managers change their minds. Wesleyan Rooters Open Seeason with 8 to 0 Win Midd'etown.

Paul, Oct. 6. (UP.) Rain and cold weather forced postponement of the second game in the Little World Series between St. Paul and Montreal scheduled for tonight. The second game will be played tomorrow night, if the weather is favorable.

St. Paul won the opener last night. 4 to 0, and the extra days rest was figured as a break for the Saint's pitchers. They had worked through last Sunday in winning the American Association playoffs and rested only Monday before the Little World Series started. Montreal of the International League, in contrast, had a three-day layoff after it finished the reeular season.

And as they strode quickly in from the field, each member of the Boston team that had drawn first blood from Cleveland in the opening World Series game glanced at the chalk message, then headed quickly and businesslike for their lockers. Oh, there were a few yips: "Yeah boy, Johnny." This for Sam four-hit performance on the mound against the favored Indians. Or, "That's the way to kiss 'em Tommy," for Holmes, whose stinging eighth inning single to left brought home pinch-runner Phil Masi with the game's only score. But for the rest these "Boston Darlings" might have been a bunch of high school kids just in irom a gooa aiternoons practice. Someone remarked on this to Manager Billy Southworth as he hung up a telephone after receiving a congratulatory call from Scout Marty Purtell in Louisville, Ky.

"We don't ever talk about a game," he replied in a cold whisper. "Win or lose, we take 'em as they come." The cigarette between his shaking fingers glowed and as he inhaled the worry lines were etched more deeply at the corners of his month. "A well-played game," he said, smoke drifting from his nostrils, perspiration trickling at the neckband of his still tightly-buttoned uniform. "Great pitcher, that Feller. Never before had a chance to see him go a full nine innings.

Wonderful the way he caught that liner of Elliott's right at the end of his throw. Then the way he'd turn so easy like and throw to first." "But what about Sain nnd Marv Rickert?" someone in the rear row of the jam-packed ante room asked. "Rickert played wonderfully well." said, grinning a (little now. "His defensive play in the outfield was plenty adequate and he gofc himself a base hit. Good for him." "But about Sain?" someone asked again.

"What more can you say about him," asked Southworth. "He's just the greatest kind of a boy. He's there when the chips are down. He's everything anyone could ask, he's Here the boss voice trailed off in a puff of smoke. Braves President Lou Perini thought Sain was "wonderful too." Among the first in the dressing room, Perini patted a dozen backs as he pushed his way to where Sain stood silent, almost embarrassed.

"Great game boy, great game Johnny," said Perini. Sain just grinned. "Nice guy. Feller," said Sain. "Pitched a fine game.

(AP.) Rapid Robert Feller today made only 85 pitches 10 less than Boston's Johnny Sain yet lost the eighth 1-0 game in World Series history.

It was the first 1-0 series game in 25 years or since 1923 when Art Nehf of the New York Giants turned in his second 1-0 series victory by blanking the New York Yankees. Nine times during the brilliant pitching battle. Feller retired Braves hitters with one pitched ball. Two of these outs were sacrifices. Sain matched the Indian fast-baller almost pitch for pitch.

Boston's 21-game winner got five men out with first pitches. In the seventh and eighth innings, Sain retired the Indians on a total of 12 pitches. An error by Bob Elliott in the ninth prevented Sain from retiring in order the last 12 American League champions. During the first five innings Sain made 61 pitches while Feller set down his rivals with 48 tosses. In the fifth inning after Marvin Rickert singled to right on the third pitch for the first of two Brave hits.

Feller retired the next throe batters on three pitched balls. Sain's control was a bit better 1han Feller's in that he issued no walks and fanned six. He struck out Joe Gordon in the second and Walt Judnich in the ninth on three straight pitches. Feller walked three one intentional and fanned only two, getting Earl Torgeson on three pitches in the first inning and Bill Salkeld on three tosses in the second. For most of the 40,135 fans present the game was an unusual thrill.

Rumors persisted in this baseball-mad city tonight that Harris, ousted New York Yankee man ager, would replace Barney Shot- ton as pilot of the Brooklyn Dodgers next season. There also was talk that possibly Harris might succeed Branch Rickey as president of the Brooklyn Club.

But the principal rumor was that Bucky, one of the game's best liked managers, would replace Shotton, who lede the Dodgers to the pennant in 1917 after Leo Durocher was suspended and then took over the managerial reins when "the lip" went to the Giants in mid-season this year.

Bill Veeck. president of the Cleveland Indians, when shown the Associated Press picture sequence of the disputed play at second base in the eighth inning of the World Series opener, said tonight: "They are very interesting pictures, but the game is over." The sequence shows Manager Lou Boudreau of the Indians tagging Phil Masi of the Braves as he slid back into second after a fast peg from Pitcher Bob Feller. Boudreau at the time argued with Umpire Bill Stewart's decision calling Masi safe.

Masi went on to score the single run by wnicn me craves Deat tne Indians, 1-0. Will Harridge, president of the American League, when shown the pictures, only smiled and said: "Officially he's out." Hank Grccnberg, Cleveland vice-president, said: 'These pictures certainly prove a point, there'll he a lot of con troversy about them." No baseball game ever has been it plain no protest is either planned or possible under baseball rules. "He, was out," Manager Boudreau said flatly after the game "I tagged him on the shoulder."

and you can't win without runs." Feller's teammates undressed quietly and walked slowly to the showers. Manager Lou Boudreau, smiling through his disappointment, credited Boston's johnny Sain with a "masterful" pitching performance for his four-hit triumph. "We don't have a man in the American League who can come in there with a curve ball like Sain does when he is behind," Boudreau said. "He has a lot of confidence in it nnd deserves lot of credit. "But that boy," Boudreau pointed to Feller, "deserves just as much credit.

He was magnificent and we feel pretty badly about not getting him any runs. I guess everybody knows now why I say he is the best pitcher in the game." Feller, across the room, had regained almost complete composure by now as he headed for the showers. "I had my stuff and my arm felt fine," the fellow said. "I've lost tough ones before and I've won my share, too. I had to come in with that fast ball because it had worked for me a lot of times before you know." Everybody in baseball knows that.
