NATIONAL COMMISSION TO PROBE
THE BIG BASEBALL SCANDAL
Ceatlnue.1 freM rue Oa
guilty of yettenlay. and lie announced that
he - was through, with the team for the
season. ,
Any on who knows McOraw and his
methods and the way be has ruled his tism
with an Iron hand realises that this dis
obedience of Instructions and Indifferent
work never occurred during the middle of
tn season when the tesm waa in a slump,
and cannot account for It happening now.
FOSTER'S STATEMENT
Secretary Jchn I). Foster, of the Qlsnts,
who could not be located by the writer
after tho game. Is quoted tn today's North
American as fellows I
"McOraw left In the fifth Inning dis
gusted with the way his players conducted
themselves on tho field. The men did not
play baseball! they simply filled the posi
tions, t waa not with McQrsw when he
made the supposed arraignment of the team,
but I have no doubt that he raid alt that
he Is credited with saying. He was mad
clear through and felt that his team had
thrown htm down. And If McOraw waa
sore, lie was not the only one who was
score. Anybody would be sore If a team
like the Giants went out and refused to
play baseball."
Friends of the New Tork team. Includ
ing many baseball writers, made the claim
that tho team had broken training, but a
careful Inquiry at every cafe and bar any
of the Olanta have been known to frequent
failed to revoal that a rlngle player had
done anything other than the routine fol
lowed throughout the season.
With few exceptions ball players drink
beer during the aummtr, and the practice
Is favored by managers, who believe that
this prevents a ball player from going stale,
and nono of the Glint", as far as could
be learned, overstepped the bounds.
There were rumors of a big party In the
vicinity of mth street and Hlghth avenue
on Baturday. during the course of which
some of the alant players were raid to have
remarked that the season was at nn end
for them after the Draves had broken their
winning streak in the afternoon, but they
proved groundless.
Jt la an Injustice to the players to se
cure them of being out of condition, ex
cepting that they might have been affected
by tho strain, as they apparently Were as
fir" physically as at any time during the
record run of victories. They simply Iscked
the fight and acted as If they did not care
about winning.
Manager Robinson, of the II rook yn team,
aaaerts that tho insinuations and charges
that the Olanta "laid down" have been
made by prejudiced scribes, who desire to
take away much of the glory of the great
triumph of the Dodgers; but personally we
feel aa we felt when Bancroft waa Injured
that Brooklyn would win the pennant, even
If the Olanta fought them to the finish.
Tho facta of the case follow as wo saw
the game! Ilrooklyn was credited with
fourteen hits becauae the ofllclal scorer or
some one etee would call out, "What do you
think about It: a hit or an error?"
Svery one familiar wtth the scoring In
Brooklyn admits that on everything of a
doubtful nature the home player Is given
the benefit of the doubt, and the natural
result waa a chorus. "Hit. Otve him a hit.
The ball bounded bad."
WHAT MKIlCCrt BELIF.VES
Tho balls bounded poorly simply because
they wore played poorly and in a manner
which major league players eeldom play
them, particularly If they play In their regu
lar positions. On this same scoring nues
lion Kid Mercer, the veteran scribe of the
New Tork Globe, In his comment on the
first game of the series, which was a pitch
ers' battle throughout, stated:
It hi no wonder that Jake Daubert and
Each "Wheat are doing such terrlfio batting
stunts. If the official scoring In Brooklyn
yesterday Is a fair sample of what It has
been all season.
tn ths fourth Inning yesterday Daubert
nit a grounder down to Fletcher, who set
himself tn front of the ball and then
fumbled It Ths ball struck Fletcher's
hand and then his shoe, rolling away three
or four feet Tills play was offlclslly
scored as a hit for Daubert
Captain Jake started to steal aa Myers
was striking out In the ssme Inning. Bart
den made a good throw and the ball ar
rived ahead of Daubert llersog. however,
made a rank muff. This play wss scored
a stolen base for Daubert, Instead of sn
error for Hersog,
In ths seventh Inning Cutshsw hit a
simple little grounder that Rehupp reached
ror. 11 was an easy chance. Bchupp
knocked down the ball and wss clutching
at It before Cutshaw was twenty feet from
the plate. The pitcher made two grabs for
the pill, and when he came up with It on
tne third try ho did not attempt to throw.
This mess wss scored ss a base hit for
Cutshaw.
While other scorers accepted the official
verdicts there were few who agreed with
the Judge. It Is not fslr to players when
such rank favoritism Is shown to star per
formers on certain teams."
HANDED nnOOKI-YN HITS
At least six of the Brooklyn hits were
credited on balls that tho fielders had a
chance to handle, and, If we must asy so.
would have been handled If the Giants had
6een playing the Thlllles, because they
would have been up on their toes fighting
to win; wniie at least two others were due
to the fact that the Inflelders were sta
tioned entirely out of position, snd have
played against the Dodgers long enough
to know It
Only three errors of commission were
made, according to the scoring, and one of
the most careless and bungling errors wss
overlooked. This play was the real turn
ing point of tho game and started the
trouble In the ranks of the Giants. Johnston
had opened the third Inning (with the
score 4 to 1 In favor of the Olsnts) by
beating out a slow grounder that Fletcher
played like nn amateur, and Daubert fol
lowed by bouncing a single off Zimmerman's
glove. Heinle making a one-handed stab at
the ball.
Myers then bounded to Fletcher, who
picked up the ball and. Instead of tossing
to Hersog, who covered Vecond, the aiants'
shortstop elected to complete the double
play himself. He had plenty of time to
complete the job, but made a weak and wide
throw to first This placed runners on first
and third wth one out. Instead of having
two men down and only the runner at
third.
BENTON GETS SORK
At this stage Pitcher Benton hurled a
temark at Fletcher snd the pair almost
came to blows. When It was apparent that
there might be trouble. Manager McOraw
dashed out on the field and ordered Fletcher
back to his position. In this morning's
Issue of the New Tork American Damon
Huynon says that he talked with Benton
over the telephone last night and the south
paw told him that what he said to Fletcher
was, "Hey, why In the hell don't you throw
the ball rlgh'tT"
A remark ot this sort often Is made
during a game, hut we were told, and by a
person sitting close enough to the field tn
hear the start of the argument and Its
conclusion as the men reached the bench,
that what llenton really said was. "Iley.
what in the hell are you trying to do. hand
It to themt" Perhaps after his anger had
subsided, Benton decided that It was best
to allow the storm to blow over.
This argument ruined Benton and
spoiled the ball' game. He allowed a slow

Johnston scoring and" Myers taking second,
nhlle Wheat reached first Cutshaw then
made a real single to right. Myers scoring,
while Wheat took third and Cutshaw sec
ond on the throw, no error being charged
against Robertson,
Benton then threw up his hands In dis
gust snd left the mound, rerrltt being
ranen upon to replace him. "At this stage

thing like that and Mnwreya single

There was no further scoring for the
Dodgers until ths fifth when, sfter the
Glints hsd evened Up the count Perrllt
obliged with n psss to Mowrey after two
men wers out ahd thefT heaved a wild
pitch to the stand, on which Mowrey
reached third. Olson then singled cleanly
to left after rerrltt had him two and
nothing, and Mowrey scored.
The following Inning marked the psralng
ot McOraw from the field In disgust when
Robertson allowed Stengel's high fly to fall
ate, nener oniy reaching third after hav
ing doubled, as It looked like an easy
chance for the second Cobb. Itobertson
atoned for his excusable mtsjudgment by
doubling Pfeffer at the plate on Daubert'a
fly, but Myers singled through Fletcher,
scoring Stengel. McGraw's last glimpse of
the hall game came when he watched Per
rllt stsnd In the center of the diamond and
wind up while Myers stole second.
RECRUIT SENT INTO GAME
Thereafter the game was even more of a
farce, somebody wishing young Smith, sn
Inexperltncrd collegian. Into tho gamo as
pitcher for tho Giants, despite the fact
that New York was only two runs behind,
with an excellent chance for victory If the
Dodgers Iiad been held at bay, as Tfeffer
was not very steady.
One thing Mie Olanta did .try to do was
hit the ball--at least several of them did
ana they batted well enough to have won
any game; but Invariably something would
spoil a rally. Robertson ran Heriog off
third with no one out and cost his team
one run. while Pitcher Perrltt's attempt
to go from first to third on Hume's single,
which Johnston hsd fielded before he round
ed second, deprived McGraw's team of at
least two more tallied.
There were a few of tho Giants who
hustled and fought from start to finish, and
we are glad lo say that Charley Herxog,
who predicted that the Giants would trim
the Dodgers, wss one of them. Hersog was
the only New York plsyer with any fighting
spirit and he made It look like a ball game
at times by "riding" Manager Robinson and
his players.
Members of the National Commission
were asked If they would take any action on
the' sttfcjeot, tat tfcey M net betters that
anytMttg had haaaenea that Deeded their
attewtlon. With his charactertstlo seam and
salve, President Tener said that h hardly
believed McOraw had msds ths remarks
credited to htm, snd If he did they were
misconstrued.
Being close at hand after the noonday
session to make world's series arrange
ments, one would hats thought that the
National Commlaalon would have attended
tho game, as did others who wers at the
meeting, when one considers ths unfavor
able comment on the gams ot the previous
day; but they had mors Important bualness
that needed their attention. What It wss
no one knows, and thousands of New Tork
fans care less.
