BROOKLYN STRATEGY FAILS OF SUCCESS U1NCY CIGAR Mike McNally Dashes All the Way Home From Second With Winning Run history dates back to 1884, when certain spots in atmosphere began to take on a new and exquisite fragrance.

Every year since then the number of such spots has increased until it is scarcely fair to refer to them as spots at all, the; proportions of a cloud having been! attained long ago. Down on Melcher Street, in a great brick building of, five stories and basement, 42,600 square feet of floor space are devoted to making and distributing the millions of Quincys i annual! contribute to the aforesaid cloud-fragrance.

Continued From First Page With twilight falling fast, and a deadlock between the contenders a certainty in the event of bis failure to make good, Gainer beat the gathering gloom, averted the dreaded tie and put a satisfactory ending to one of the grandest twirling duels that contests of this kind have ever given rise to. And more than 41,000 spectators, the elect of the national game, saw Gainer earn his spurs.

ONE SMALL BARE SPOT SEEN IN BLEACHERS STUMBLE GETS RISE OUT OF SOX Mneli genuine, old-fashioned pepper made the historic battle as ltve- ly an ufYnir ns any bail same eon Id be. The incident of Olson ennniiifi; Thomas to stumble as the latter was rounding second on his extra base drive to left in the fifth aroused the Hod Sox collectively to get their mad up. If limps Dincen hadn't hustled down to get between Olson and Ileinle Wagner, coaching at third, something more than words might have been swapped. that the Ited Sox were on the Dodgers like a swarm of hornets, many hot shots coming from the Iloston dngont while the foe was at bat. BROOKLYN SHIFTS METHOD OF ATTACK Barring one very small bare spot to be noted in the extreme corner of the third base bleachers nearest the right field jury box, not a seat or niche In Braves Field, available for a fan to worm into, was minus its human decoration.

It was a real capacity crowd, the rear of the grandstand having spectators standing three deep, while standing room behind the temporary barrier in centre Held wasn't plentiful, anil fringes of fans adorned the sloping edges of the bleachers. FITTING CLIMAX It was the fitting climax to as thrill- ing a struggle as battles for supreme prize have ever developed. It was but another illustration of the gameness and resourcefulness that feature the makeup of world's championship outfit. And. in the minds of all fandom, it was a blow that just about shatters dreams of snatching the coveted title from the Red Sox grasp.

The details of this eventful round, a session in which the strategy of Corrigan, the speed and enterprise of Mike McNally and the courage of Gainer all played their fitting part will ever stand; out in the memory of those privileged to witness defeat in this most wonderful of combats. For 13 1-2 Innings the two splendid teams, striving with might and main to earn a decision had seen opportunity after opportunity spoiled and game efforts frustrated because of the gallant work of the rival foemen in the pinch. Early In the contest Brooklyn had scored its single tally on iong home run drive to centre field. Shortly afterward young Everett Scott, the big hero of the whole series up to date, had rattled off the three-bagger that put his team back upon even terms. Thereafter, the grim battle had continued with no advantage on either side, till the shades of evening ing for a combined attiok warned striving clans that the mantle was soon to fall upon the scene of battle.

Pass Starts Fourteenth As Boston went to bat in the 14th the spectators had begun to edge toward the exits. It was practically certain that the failure to score would mean the calling ot the game. The Brooklyn players, well aware of tftis fact, were in no hurry to rush proceedings. A lethargy marked their demeanor till Dick Hoblitzell, first, man to bat, had showiv patience enough to wait out Southpaw Smith and begin this final round by drawing his fourth pass of the afternoon. Then the Brooklynites got up on tneir toes, and the spectators resumed their seats.

Lewis, next batsman, and dreaded hitter, dumped the first ball pitched for a sacrifice, and was retired at first, Hobby going to second. Baseball strategists questioned the advisability of this play, as with the gloom surrounding the arena so rapidly and the certainty that play could not be continued after this round, there was a feeling that It would have been better had Lewis hit it out. Subsequent happenings proved that brainy Bill knew what he wras doing, and that Lewis had followed his directions. Though the hard-hitting Gardner was next at bat, Carrigan made the first of fiis two important shifts of the in- ning right here, for he sent in Gainer to bat against the left-handed pitcher, and, a moment later put the speed merchant, Mike McNally, on the bases to run for Hoblitzell. And this wise move was the switch that allowed Boston to win the most thrilling and most bitterly waged of all series battles.

McNally's ability to score the tally. As Mike left third the ball had reached hands and he braced himself for the throw. Straight and true he shot tho sphere for the plate, but like a greyhound the Red Sox pinch runner was eating up the distance, and just as Miller reached out to tag the sprinter he shot past the catcher, crossed the plate and put over the run that finished in most dramatic one nerve-thrilling ball game. Thus in one short inning two Red Sox heroes emerged from obscurity and got their rank with the best that baseball boa.sts. Last year during that eventful series between the Red Sox and the Quakers it was unhappy fortune to warm the bench for the most part, while he watched his mates carve their initials on the wall of the hall of fame.

For the greater part of this season he has haunted the shadow of the dugout, too, but this game gave him his great opportunity.

All union made. The first ball served to Gainer was wide and there arose the belief that Brooklv a had decided to walk him. Then the Dodgers board of trategy eon- vencd, the plan was changed, and the next ball, a fast one.

Gainer swung at and missed. But when Smith sent the I third one over, another fast one, a re- port like that of a rifle shot echoed through Braves Field, there was an an- swering roar from the crowd, and as the dingy sphere sped out to Left Fielder Wheat on the first bound the fleet-footed McNally, saving all his energy for that mad rush for home, tore about third base and headed for the plate. For one second or so the result was in doubt and there was some question about And thus McNally, one of the strongest weapons used by Bill Carrigan in his strategic moves, was able to come across again with that gr.ind burst of speed which had given the Red Sox the decision in many of the most bitter struggles of the regular season. Just as his speed beat Walter Johnson, Nick Cullop and others in the bitter battles of the summer, so It was that same fleetness of foot that justified wise move and gave Boston a second and most important victory in the series. If Gainer and McNally earned their laurels yesterday, by the same tc Ken the series limelight must widen its scope to illumine a number of others who will earn ranking as the result of this wonderful contest.

First and foremost comes Babe Ruth, the wonderful left-hand pitcher of the champion Red Sox, and one of the gamest pitchers who ever came out victorious from his first venture on the firing line. Then, too, must be added the names of Sherrod Smith, clever pitching opponent HI Myers, who shone by his brilliancy both at bat and in the field, and lastly Everett Scott, to date the biggest sensation in the series of 1916. Fans will remember that last October, when the Sox were fighting lor the big title which they stili possess, Babe Ruth, then rated as one of the cleverest southpaws in the game, was forced to sit in the Boston dugout while Shore, Leonard and Foster shared the pitching burden. Tn vain Ruth pleaded for a ehanco to go in and show what he could do. His youth, inexperience and the fact that Man- ager Carrigan feared to start him be- fore a series crowd, kept the southpaw in the seclusion and deprived him of gaining the laurels wrhich he might even then have attained.

Yesterday the Baltimore Babe proved himself. Starting out rather dubiously, and It was noticeable that the Brooklyn club made some effort to shift their mode of attack along toward the latter of the game. The sacrifice was employed twice, Olson doing the job. He bunted with sueeess in the eighth and liith innings, with a mate on first and none out. hit with a freedom that many thought to be indicative of his early retirement, the burly left-hander improved as the contest aged, till in the closing hours his speed and curves were practicably unhittable.

A single mistake, the delivery of a fast ball to Myers had given the Dodgers a rather lucky home run drive In the first round and put both Ruth and the team strictly on the defensive. After the score had been tied and Ruth was assured that the airtight defence which Boston boasts would not falter, he comported himself in the usual brilliant style, and his pitching and fielding gave the quietus to the critics who said that be could not prevail against the National league champions. Supported by the brilliant fielding of Scott, Gardner and Hoblitzell, and handled in superb style by Thomas, who yesterday caught one of the most brilliant games in series annals, Babe pitched with all the craft of Waddell and the speed of a Johnson in the last half dozen rounds. In the eighth he showed his stamina, when, with men on and second and but one man retired, he averted the dreaded score by refusing to let the Brooklyn batsmen hit the ball out of the infield. Although a marvellous running catch by Duffy Lewis was neoessary to re- deem single fielding in I the 13th and thereby save a sure score, Babe was never in bother, ab n.

Given the same support that Ruth received Smith might have won the verdict in nine innings and by a 1 to 0 score, for it was the fatal fumble by Cutshaw that let Scott come across with the tying run in the ihird. In the first eight innings but three safe hits were made off the Brooklyn pitcher.

A scratch two-bagger and a bad field- error after he himself had made a splendid play that would have averted danger put him in a critical position in the ninth, where questionable base running lost the Sox a fine opportunity to get the big run across. Here be twirled himself out of danger beautifully and kept his opponents at bay till that costly base on balls, the clever shift of runners and hitters by Manager Carrigan and the timely blow that Gainer delivered blasted his dreams of triumph. This thrilling battle was fairly replete with scintillating plays, and those who have watched the long series of struggles for title, are agreed that never before has there been one like it. That blow that saw Brooklyn score in tho opening round was accomplished only after Hooper and Walker had made tho most desperate attempts to corral the drive from bat. In the second inning a fast play by Olson had robbed Gardner of a hit, and foiled hopes of scoring.

These were only samples of the long string of brilliant feats that kept enthusiasm at fever heat all the way. Great Catch In the sixth inning Myers, shining star, made a circus catch of a hard line drive from bat, taking the ball at his shoe strings while on the dead run, and turning a complete somersault after the catch. Had the ball gone by him it would have rolled to the fence for a home run. From the bat of the same player, the Brooklyn right fielder two Innings later pulled down a wallop that looked good for two or three bases. Gardner contributed one of a series Walker, whose lightning relay cut Smith down in his attempt to make third.

Young Everett Scott was everywhere. His throws were accurate and fast and two of his one-handed stops set the crowd wild. It was his long three- bagger in the third that made first big run possible. It was his splendid throw home that helped Ruth and shut off a threatened run in the eighth. It was his headwork in covering bases and playing for batsmen that cut off many a hit.

He did the best hitting of the day for Boston. 1 a Janvrin Comes Through Janvrin covered second in magnificent style and his eJever blocking of the base prevented the Dodgers from steal- ing every time they went down, i Chester Thomas cut a decided figure in this. His pegging was magnificent. He never failed to get lie ball away in time to head off the runner. The work of the Brooklyn infield was I again disappointing and the showing by this quartet savored little of the championship outfit.

Mowrey faltered at a critical time and Cutshaw con- trihuted a costly fumble which helped tu lose Smith a possible victory. Olson i played in much better form, and twice his headwork in covering the sack. third as well as Second, retrieved his mistakes. Daubert fielded sharply, but again fell down badly at the bat. The breaks were about even.

It was a lucky break that helped the Dodgers to their one run. ft was a lucky break likewise that let the Sox tie the score in the third. The bad breaks that featured the ninth for Brooklyn were evened up by the bad coaching that let Janvrin try to score on a fly to very short centre.
