BOSTON POST, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1916 13 Champions Win Out in Record-Breaking Game of Baseball POKJS. is Dill ('arrifjan this morning and grea; aro the Red Sox players; but above all else out the wonderful baseball genius of Hill in the of world series games yesterday. Taking two in a row from the hard-righting Dodgers just about settles where the world's championship bunting of is going to perch. bunch might come back in the Brooklyn series that is to begin today in Brooklyn, but from what the Dodgers have shown in both games played here In Boston there does not appear much chance of such a thing happening. Connie Mack of the Athletics, Johnny JIcGraw of the Giants and other baseball generals who have figured in past world series have shown unusual ability tvhen it came to the maneuvring of their play.s and players in big world series contest, but none ever displayed such wonderful foresight as the Red Box general did in the great game of yesterday.

Both Sherrod Smith and Babe Ruth pitched masterly ball. Robbie kind of crossed the, wires in sending Smith to the mound in place of Jack Coombs, but Rolibie figured that fa.st low ball, which has won most of his games among the National leaguers, woTild be enough to stop the Carrigans. Smith lost out at that, it is true, but from his exhibition of It be surprising if he was sent back against the Sox before the series comes to a close. Ily Myers played a whale of a game for Brooklyn In the centre garden, and his playing was to be compared with that of Duffy Lewis or Harry Hooper. Hy started the ball rolling by his home run in the first frame, which certainly put Brooklyn in a wdnning mood, while his wonderful catch of Harry Hooper in the ninth, coupDd with throwing Janvrin out at the plate, was one of the real features of the game.

Olson did not make a groat hit with the Boston fans in his interference with Thomas in tho fifth when he appeared to deliberately foul the Sox catcher as he was making third. Tommy got a bad fall, but It partly relieved his feelings Quigley gave him the extra base. Gardner, Janvrin and Scott played their usual bang-up game in the in- CARRIGAN ROARS ON ALLEGED BALKS sontlipnvr pitchers still have the Red Sox nanny with a motion toward first to holil the hotter that resembles a ha Ik.

field. The way Scott and Gardner speared them and spoiled sure hits, will make the fans remember for many a day to come. Brooklyn had a fine chance to sew up the giime in the eighth, with Mike IMowrey on second and Miller on first and one down, but Smith and Johnston could not come through with the necessary blngle meant a fortune for the Dodgers. This was one of the crucial points of the game, but bunch was not there, all there was to it. Jake Daubert might be the runner-up in the National league batting championship, but no one w'ould ever guess such a thing from what Big Jake has shown in the series to date.

He failed to show anything like a hit in the game yesterday, and just w'hen he cculd have spilled the beans for the Sox. Duffy Ivewls saved the game in the 13th for the Sox when he caught Sherrod short left field hit. Had Duffy allowed hit to get away from him, it w'as dollars to doughnuts that Mike Mowrey would have got home with perhaps a winning tally for the Dodgers.

Fven though he may have been a bit nervous at the start he came through with flying colors. Those National league critics who Insisted that he did not class with Rixey and other left-handers in that organization can get their alibis ready now. THRILUNO GAME Babe got the decision in a grand battle. It was a thrilling duel, and while the Boston twlrler won I would not say that Ruth had anything on this young Smith, who gave an equally grand exhibition.

It was the first start in a series for both men, and each southpaw acquitted himself grandly. Ruth had the better of his antagonist, inasmuch as he had far better backing up that was really superb. At the beginning of the game fomitn looked to he far the better. He had everything apparently, and the lynites were hitting Babe in a fashion that looked strange to those who believed a southpaw could stop men. Ruth oftentimes has his hardest session at the beginning.

We iill were sure that as the game went along Babe would get better. The outcome showed this to he so. ICor the first five rounds the Babe kept his fielders rather on the anxious seat. He was serving them up too good. That hall that Myers hit for a home run was a high, fast one.

Babe gave him that one hy mistake. He kept them low on Myers thereafter and Myers never again reached first base. Tightens in Eighth Babe showed his best pitching, to my mind, in the eighth, when he had men on third and second and only one out. Any kind of a break would have given the National league battlers the big tallv there, hut Ruth tightened tip and ITIT.ACA, N. Oct.

He twirled one of the greatest games that a left-hander has shown against us this season.

He waa far more effective than Marquard w'as. He pitched Vieautifully in the ninth, when he pulled his team out of a frightful hole, and the members of the Red Sox team in con.sequence have the highest respect for his ability. I think that score and the details wMll show that we outplayed Brooklyn again. No one can say that we got all the breaks in this instance. The 2 to 1 di.sposes of -such a claim very clearly.

We offer no excuse or apology for the one tally that Brooklyn got in the first inning. It was made by a rattling hard drive that went to the fence for a home run, and while It might have been held to a triple had not both Hooper and Walker fallen down In fielding it, that is iieither here nor there. The Dodgers were entitled to that score, and that ends the tale of their offensive for the day. Our first run came as the result of rather costly slip-up in fielding part, hut we passed up a fine chance in the ninth that would have given us a run had the Red Sox cared to play it really safe. Might Have Scored What I refer to is when the Red Sox had a man on third and with none down in the ninth.

Janvrin, a fast runner, was on third aiid Hoblitzell at bat. Hobby lifted a fly to short centre and was doubled In trying to score on the catch. This tlie game Into extra Innings and was regarded by many people as a mistake on the coaching lines; hut this was really not so. All needed was that one run, and Janvrin is very fast. In game the Brooklyn outfielders did not show us anything remarkable in the way of throwing, and wc figured it would take a sharp and remarkably accurate peg to get Jannie.

Tnat was just what happened. Myers, star on both offence and defence for Brooklyn, made a remarkable throw homo, and the double play waa effected. Manager Bill's wise old showed to advantage in the 14fh. had to win the game there or else iuive the game called at the end of the round. This would have meant another struggle on Braves Field that neither side was anxious for.

So Bill showed some of his inside baseball when he pulled Hoblitzell out, sent McNally in to run for Dick from second and then let Gainer, a right-hand hitter, take place at bat. Del made a beautiful hit, but it took a man of wonderful speed to ttar all the way in from second and score. It was his fleetness that made victory possible right there. AVhen Gainer drove that Idt out, and tlius brought in the winning run, he delivered a punch that makes ultimate victory practically certain to ray mind. He has given Boston the big edge, and while the series may go for five or six games, I anything but the championship for us now.

Tliis second defeat of a left-hander the Red Sox an awfully wide margin, and practically makes it necessary for Smith to sit on the bench for the rest of the series. Had Brooklyn won, and thus cvei.ed it up, we would h.ave gone to start the game in Brooklyn today under a decided disadvantage. a defeat for Ruth, really our best pitcher in tliis series, would mean that the Dodger.s could open with Jack Coombs, their star twirler, this afternoon on their home grounds. This give tr the edge instead. Now we cun start Msys and and have Ruth and Shore to fall hack on.

The lOodgers must do the worrying from this time on. BY GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER Copyright by Grover Cleveland Alexander Brooklyn yesterday tossed away a chance to pick up an easy victory in nine innings and to he on even terms with the Red Sox. The second battle was the greatest series game I ever have seer, but it would not have gone more than the regulation number of innings if the Dodgers had been awake. A DIFFERENT TEAM Brooklyn looked like a different team today. They played with more confidence and were up on their toes from start to finish, while exhibition presages trouble for Boston later on in the series.

I am rather surprised that Manager Robin.son is sending his lefthanders against the Red Sox at every available opportunity. But his judgment appears to be justified. In the two games played there really should have been hut one run scored off Slarquard and Smith. Smith today pitched a splendid game of ball and it unfortunate that he was opposed to one of the best handers 1 have seen in a long time. ball game should have gone only nine innings, as I have said, and with him the winner hy the score of 1 to 0.

Coach YVhelan gave the players talk, and then sent the squad through signal work, also giving them some elementary drill on falling on the ball and tackling. real prepartion for the ton contest will begin this afternoon. A nuinhor of new shift plays will ba given the squad as well as long drill on the forward pass.

No scrimmaging Is scheduled until as varsity needs limbering up. An X-ray taken of Ollie ribs shows that there is no fracture, although three are badly bruised. Tuft.s’ victory over Harvard In last week illustrates the strengtli of the shift formation.s with file centre reversed. The Brown and has been an exponent of this style of attack for a number of years. This ivKtiin that Coach Whelan has taught the Tufts team 1s founded on the famous Minnesota shift, and what can classed as the Tufts being the first college to use it.

Fven after Scott had tripled I feU confident that Smith would pull out of the hole, and I think he would have, if Cutshaw had not handled tap loosely at second. There was only one play for Cut.shaw to make, and that was at the plate. AVhila he got his man at first, and was not I with an error, his momentary fumble was responsible for Scott crossing the tivi I plate. Like game, I believe that every one of the breaks went to Red Sox from the start. While It look.s bad for Rrooklyn.

now with tho count 3 to 0 against tliem, I still figure that emwd has a splendid chance. Boston lias shown absolutely nothing so far as I can see that makes them a great ball elub. In fact, I think it is the same hall club I pitched against last fall. Disappointed in Sox If Brooklyn had the same old spirit that we had when we went into the series of I know there would not be much to the series. Brooklyn is not up on its toe.s as it was the last time we met them; and must say that I am dl.sappointed in the Boston club as well.

The Red Sox are a tough crowd to beat any time at all, for the reason that they have that indescribable balance and reserve strength, as was apparent yesterday. When Del Gainer came through as a hitter and won one of the most stublmrnly contested hall games 1 have ever witnessed it showed hoiv well they are fortified. Any time a hall club has three or four fellnus whom they can send In there in a pinch, and who can make it is a hard hall club to lick; and that is the position of the Red Sox today. Boston not onlj' has a powerful defensive ball club, but that it also has an offence built upon the one-run idea is very deceiving. It was one of the most deceiving games of all I have seen in recent years.

Both clubs had numerous chances to win; and when I said that the Dodgers should have been victorious in tho regulation number of innings, I hope you will not all think that I am a National leaguer through and through. aw -VV alker STEEL letter FILE nuts. No rivets. No rods. No bolts.
