A
SECOND WORLD'S SERIES GAME IN BOSTON A RECORD BREAKER, VIEWED FROM ANY ANGL
r-
GEEAT PITCHING OF TWO YOUNG
LEFT-HANDERS IS THE FEATURE
OF THE SECOND SERIES CONTEST
Bab Ruth and Sherrod Smith Give Remarkable
Exhibition in Fourteen-Inning Game Re
plete With Sensational Fielding Plays
" ' ' a-ssaa- aaa-aaaaaa-aa
NEW YOIIK, Oct 10.
TKB fMtttro of the beiseball offering nX Ilravss' Field yesterday was not the :act
that It st a new record for duration for world's scries Ramos: It was not In the
half seers of sensational defensive playn that went to make up ttio greatest con
test In the history of world's title contests, nor was It In the magnificent strategy of
William Carrigan that brought his team out In front after fourteen Innings of
the most stubbornly fought baseball on record. The thing which stood out
above all else was the remarkable exhibition of two young left-handed pitchers,
each starting his first world's scries gome. In this we are supported by every
big baseball man attending the current classic, Alexander, Griffith, Moran,
Stalling, Mathcwson, Maranvllle, Ilertog and others too numerous to mention
with whom we discussed yesterday's game.
Saturday's game was between Marquard and Shore, veterans. Yet jester
day's nlp-and-tuck affair contrasted so strangely "with that first gamo of the series
that the difference can be expressed only In that time-worn simile, that they were
two games as much alike as black an white. Sherrod Smith todny had more
stuff thah any pitcher has shown since Matty's best day. Ite easily outshone
Uabo Ituth, and should have won 2-0 In regulation Innings, yet he went down to n
defeat scarcely less glorloGs than would have been victory, the victory he so
richly deserved.
Red Sox Demonstrate Reserve Strength
CAnniOAN'B reserve strength became more than apparent yesterday and at a
fitting time. Premature darkness, a black, low-hanging cloud bank, was fast
descending upon the park. More than 40,000 fans were suffering from over
wrought nerves and it was doubtful It the Issue would be decided. With tho end
of the fourteenth Inning It was virtually certain the game would bo called, so fast
was It growing dark and so black and lasting was the onrushlng darkness.
J fob! It sell had drawn his fourth base on balls. Smith Issued but six, the one to
Lewis In the ninth was Intentional, Lewis, the free-hitting hero of 1916
post-season doings, with his second sacrifice had advanced Hobby. Gardner
had been very easy for Smith all day and Del Gainer was summoned to swing
for the great third baseman of the universal champions. Ivan Olson, shortfleldcr
, of the Dodgers, once a member of tho Cleveland team, had played against Gnlncr
when he was In his prime. Olson and Smith conferred and the Swedo gave the
northwestern marvel a tip on the veteran. Olson told Smith what to pitch.
Gainer took a ball. Carrlgan sent In the fleet McKally to run for Hoblltzell,
convinced 'that the game would not got another Inning. Gainer took a swing at
a wide curve breaking Inside. So far Olson was right. Smith attempted to throw
one past Gainer in the gathering gloom. Gainer slapped It on a line to left whore
Wheat took It on the first hop. His throw was nearly perfect, but McNally had
good lead and he crossed just ahead of the ball. No other Red Sox player
could have beaten that throw home. Carrlgan would have substituted neither
Gainer nor McNally for regulars except that It was certain the gamo would not
so pest that point,
Mlko Mowrey was tnoro prominent than either pitcher Smith or III Myers.
He was the day's hitting and fielding sonsatlon. Mowrey figured In no fewer than
five vital plays, and although hfs wns a dual role embracing parts of both horo
and villain, he acquitted himself most creditably.
With one out and Lewis on first, by virtue of a single In the second, Mike
grabbed a bullot shot from Gardner and got Duffy by Inches at second. In a
similar situation, after Hoblltzell walked in the fourth, Mowrey took Lewis's bid
for a hit near the third-base line and started a double play. He grabbed Scott's
twisting grounder In tho seventh and turning sharply tagged Hobby as ho raced
behind Mike to third.
Takes a More Important Role
ALL three of these wore good plays, but the cx-Cardlnat took a still more lm
. portant part In the ceremonlos. In tho ninth, after Janvrln, the first man up.
got two bases when Wheat got his hands on but could not hold tho Toxas leaguer.
Walsh bunted for Walker straight at Smith. The young pitcher snapped the ball
to Mowrey as Janvrln slid In, spikes up. When the pair disentangled themselves
the ball waa discovered behind the base and Umpire Quisle? reversed his decision.
Since none was out at the time and Walsh took second on the mix-up It appeared
that the veteran, through on excusable error, had destroyed the last vestige of the
Dodgers' hopes. But Myers, sun-bewildered, awoke from lethargy In answer to
the shouts of his teammates barely in time to get Hoblttzell's short high fly and
threw the ball to tho plate, whither Coach Heinle Wagner had sent Janvrln.
Miller was waiting with tho ball when Barry's substitute slid in and the curtain of
Brooklyn's abandoned hope was lifted. That double killing probably add6d years
to Md'wrey's life. For Mowrey is nothing if not conscientious and his heart Is in
the game for Wilbert Robinson.
Mowroy's capital play followed In the tenth. Olson was his valuable assist
ant. Scott lod off with a roller past Cutshaw. Thomas sacrificed and Ruth fanned,
but Hooper beat out a slow bounder toward third. Mowrey came in and bluffed
a throw to first. Olson trailed Scott to third and he fell for Mike's feint toward
the Initial station, overrunning the base Wheeling about, Mowrey tossed to Olson,
who tagged out Scott sliding back. It was the smartest play of the day, If not the
most spectacular.
A Chance to Win the Game
MOWKEY might have scored the winning run for Brooklyn In the eighth on His
single to left, Olson's sacrlfico and Milter's blow to tenter. As there was only
one out. Mike elected to play It safe. Coombs, coaching at third, appeared to leave
the matter up to Mowrey, Smith then forced out Mowrey, Scott to Thomas to
Gardner,
Jat Moran said last night that Robinson orred In not sending a pinch hitter,
Merklo, for Instance, to swing for Smith In the eighth. Coombs had been warming
up for two innings in the bull pen. Moran was second guessing, of course, but
few managers at that stage would allow so good a chance to slip by. It wag a
heartbreaking game for Smith to lose. He so plainly deserved to win that even
some Boston rooters were pulling for him. The youngster got a generous hand
on every appearance at-the plate after the. game had passed the usual limit.
Alexander the Great declared after the game that he never hod seen'a young
pitcher put so much on every ball for so long a period of box duty as did Smith.
"He had them hopping every which way," said Alox. "Just rolling fouls off
- their bats when the Boston butters found them at all. He looked so much better
than Ruth that there can he no real comparison. He didn't get the breaks and
Brooklyn didn't use much gray matter on offense. He should have won, 1-0."
The glaring lock of mental stability on tho part of the Brooklyn club was
evfdent again -yesterday in the fourth Inning, when Cutshaw became so nervous
that he failed to moke a play for Scott at the plate after he had Juggled Ruth's
grounder. That allowed the score to be tied, HI Myers having given Brooklyn tho
lead in the first Inning with a home run drive.
The failure of Babe Ruth to come through wjth a hit in the pinches was a
very surprising and disappointing feature to the Boston fans. Ruth has been
used aa a pinch hitter by Carrlgan throughout the season. Yesterday he had
three chances to win the game before the nine Innings were over, but ho failed
on every occasion.
Critics are Inclined to differ on tho matter of Robinson's selection of Sherrod
Smith to oppose Ruth yesterday, Some assert that the selection and its result
was blind luck, while others credit Bobby with sufficient baseball acumen to
admit that he should and did know the ability of his young hurler better than
any one ease.

STATISTICS PROVE
WORLD SERIES ARE
PLAYED W) LEVEL
During Last Eleven Ytars
Contests Have Averaged
Only 5 1-2 Games
BRAVES VICTORS IN FOUR
By GRANTLAND RICE
If any further defenso of tho Innate In
tegrity or transparent honeaty of baseball
were needed, the simplest answer we know
would come from mihmlltlriK certain world
scries figures and statistics, datln'g from
1D05, when the seven game agreement was
first put Into efTect
Since that date eleven world series have
been played If there had been any hippo
draining or dealing from tho bottom, these
eleven scries could hao uaed tip exactly
seventy-seven games But the figures show
that only sixty-one contests liuvo been
needed, displaying a loss of sixteen games,
that might havo returned a revenue of at
least $800,000.
Over the Quick Route
Nearly all world scries contests have
been billed over the quick route. In only
one Instance have the seven games been
needed first by the Tigers and Pirates In
10, but the Red Sex and Giants (n 1912
required eight. On six of the eleven occa
sions only five games have been used up;
six games have been needed but twice,
while In 1914 the llraves needed but four.
So in soven of the eleven years only five,
kmiiicb or icnn iinve ueeu required 10 De
termine the winning array. And for the
eleven years the average has beon only
five and one-half games between two clubs
supposed to be pretty well matched. ,"
These figures are euCTlelent to thow that
each ball club la out to win as soon as
possible, wasting no false motions and tak
ing no chay.ee of the game's vast uncer
tainty. Greatest W. S. Combination
The greatest world series combination
that ever took the field were the Mackmen,
previous to their 1914 smear.
In 1910, 1911 and 1913, against the Cubs
and Glahts -ngnlnst such pitchers as
Drown, Overall, Mathewaon, Tesrcau and
Marquard they won twelve out of sixteen
games, n margin more declsho than any
other club ever has known.
The old Cubs beat the Timers eight times
out of nine, but they lost four out of six to
the White Kox and four out of five to the
Athletics.
In their four world series jears the Mack
men won twclvo games and-lost eight, the
Cubs. oer tho same distance, won eleven
and lost nine.
The battle between tho Tlpcr and Giants
for the tinslde-donn champion was equally
close. Tho Tigers In three world series
ears won four games and dropped twelve;
the Giants, In their three starts, won six
and lost tvtelve, beating out the Tycobblan
clan by two games.
Although world series work hardly could
bo considered "child's play," two have taken
leading parts llabe Adams in 1909 and
Babe Ituth In 1916.
"Why doesn't some one charge," writes U
J. II., "that Hrookln tried to throw the pen
nant to Philadelphia? Didn't she lose soven
of her last eight games with this clubT"
Charging a ball club with trying to throw
away 160,000 Is beyond any human capabil
ity yet devised.
LOCAL GOLF TOURNAMENT FOR
PROFESSIONALS HAS BEEN SET
FOR OCT. 19-20 BY F. B. WARNFJ
By SANDY McNIBLICK
TI1K Philadelphia open golf championship
will bs held October 1 and :0. These
Mates, set tentatively once before, will stand,
sccordlnr to the official announcement of
Francis B. Worner, secretary of the dolt
Association' of Philadelphia, today
The tourney as set for next week will be
the last qn the locsl xmclsl schedule. It
will be seventytwb holes of medal pisy
oter the Phllmont course The tourney was
originally postponed In Auguat, but was
postponed for unaoldable reasons ana
breasted the schedule for many weeks
without being abl to crowd n anywhere,
due to a succession of profeaslonsl events
which all seemed to be packed Into one
month.
The local tourney has been set over from
week to week, but the above dates will
stand, come what may.
The tourney Is open to all golfers con
nected with clubs which ars members of
the United States Golf Association, and this
year It Is expected to attract the best field
of Iti hlatory because of Its proximity to
the championship of the I'nlted States Pro
fessional Golfers' Association, which Is be
ing fought out this week at New York. The
very "richest cream" of the professional
talent of the country Is In New York and
most of the contestants are expected to
drop off at tho Quaker City to contend for
the local title next Thursday and Friday,
Kat prim money la offered, and It Is ex
pected that the whole gathering at New
York will wend Its way to Philadelphia to
try Its hand at medal play. In contrast to
the match play which rules the tourney
In New York.
In case the conteatants at New York do
enter the Philadelphia open, the latter event
will take on almost the speed of the I'nlted
States open, which was held this year eo
far west that few of the stars on either
coast had the time or the Inclination to
make the long trip.
Philadelphia's famous trio of pro's, Jim
names. Jim Thomson and Charlie Hoffner.
on paper look to be an almost Impregnable
team In defense of the title for this city.
The local open title la held at the present
time by Tom McNamara, who won It last
ear at the Country Club from Barnes and
Hoffner, tied for second place.
The first day's golf yesterday for the
professional title, which was match play,
was extremely popular with all the con
testants, particularly with the winners,
though the loser also got a certain amount
of pleasure out It, 150 worth tl be exact
It Is the first time professionals have con
tested tot the honors at match play In any
big event In this country since 1911, when
the western open was match, Instead of
Tomorrow's Tournament'
and Today's Ttt '.

it. Surely, these men would quickly pay a far
