BOSJOM, Oct 12.
FITCHINa for strtkt-euta arte! poor hsadTfork coat UrooWyn the fourth am of
ft werl4'a txMm. . Bwrton now has a. threogamo odvantsfc-o that the Na
''tMMl LMi champions probably wilt not bo ablo to overcome. Rube Mar.
Jiwrt repealH hta mistake of the first cnrae or tno aeries ana was spun y k
ttiw off too wit. "When Marquard succeeded In tannine two of tho first three bats
Mn to face him ad Brooklyn tallied twice In the opening Innlne on "Dutch1
lassnar. It looked Hko an eaay victory for the Dodcers, and probably would have
fcaan If the lanky Bouthpaw had used his head.
It wu to irfarquard's advantate to roservo his strength and play tho game Mfe
ftoc being given the lead, but ho tried to strike out every batsman who faced
Mm. and aa ft result lianded tho Ited Sox tho victory. It Is barely possible lliat
"Ckwr Meyers wae responsible for tho unusual number of balls Marquard wasted;
feat Judging; by tho way the btr Indian continually walked to tho pitching; mound to
Mafer with Marquard. we are Inclined to believe (hat the pitcher was at fault.
Marquard'a exhibition was friahlful and -Dutch" Leonard was not much better
unlit his confidence returned nlons; about tho middle1 of the trame. Brilliant support
Hy tho American league champions saTed Leonard In three of tho first four
Innings, and then tho southpaw star of Carrigan'e staff got back In his stride and
sM,rsult never was In doubt. Instead of Improvlnaj.and showing something that
rwembled major league pitching after being given tho lead, Marquard went conv
pietoty to pieces. Ills first bad break camo In pitching to Hoblitzell, tho first bats
wan to tho plate In the second Inning. Marquard quickly cot Hobby In the hole
liy breaking two strikes across, but was not satisfied with trying to retire hlm on
am easy chance.
Ho wasted -three balls and then tried to fan tho Ited Sox first baseman, who
usually Is a mark for southpaws, by cutting a curve ball over the outsldo corner.
Tho ball went wldo of the mark and Hoblltsell walked, starting nil tho trouble.
Marquard also got Lewis In tho hole, but wasted too many balls again and Lewis
mashed a drive against tho right-field fenco for a double, Hoblitzell stopping at
tWrd because he rematned between first and second too long, fearing that John
ton might catch the ball.
Marquard Seemed to Forget Art of niching
"tfE would have thought that Marquard'a poor pitching to HobllUell and Lewis
J would have been a warning to him rnd that ho would have changed ma tactics,
but the big southpaw apparently forgot how to pitch. He got two strikes across
on Gardner, wltlf only one ball called, but proceeded to try to fan him also, with
tbo result that he soon waa in a hole. If Marquard had clinched tho two left
handed hitters, who usually are marks fey a southpaw with a good fOHt ball, he
probably would havo won his gamcj but lie laid a straight ball right over the heait
of the plato and Gardner broke up tho gamo and took tho tight out of tho Dodgers
by sondlmr a drive over Myers' head to tho center-field wall for a homo run.
This ono Inning finished tho Dodgers, os tho lied Sox icgalned confidence.
"When tho gatno started the Hod Sox Doted like a team very badly won led, while
Brooklyn's victory In the third game sent the National Leaguers Into yesterda'
battle wlthplenty of ginger and fighting spirit. Itoblnson'n team looked Hko tho
better aggregation when tho play started, but as always Is the case a head
Je and careless pi teller will destroy a team's confidence and In the closing Innings x
tho Todgers looked just as weak as they did against the Fhlllles in the first two
games of the final series of the season,
omo of Brooklyn's errors of judgment wore almost laughable, and were
f tho caliber that ono could hardly Imagine a pennant-winning team being
guilty of, and It leully Is remarkablo that 'llobinson's toam was not beaten by a
'larger score. I'our errors wero credited to tho Dodgers, and all woro Inex
cuoable. Wheat and Merkle muffed easy files. Johnston fumbled a grounder
and Chonoy mado a wild throw. The latter's throw was tho only Brooklyn
error of commission that "figured In the scoring, but two of tho errors of omission
lost chanCes to rotlro the Red Sox, who scored later In the samo inning the
blunders wero made.
In tho fourth inning Mowrey failed to pick Lewis off second when Scott
gtounded ty him, and Carrigan scored the sensational left fielder by lining a
ingle Into center. In tho following Inning Hooper worked Cheney, who had
replaced Marquard, for a pass and started to steal with two striken and two
balls on Janvrln. Tho Red Box right fielder had a long lead and probably1
would havo reached second safely anyway, but Meyers dropped the third strike and
Jet whatever chance ho had to pick off Hooper.
W;
CuUhaw Is Exempted From an Error
ITII Hoblitzell at the bat and two men out, Cheney had Hooper napping oft
second, but Cutshaw muffed the ball and allowed htm to return In safety. For
no reason cutshaw was not charged with an error, although cneneys turow
was perfect and tho Brooklyn second baseman had plenty of time to get mm.
toblltzell then shot a double just Inside the foul line In left and Hoopor scored
'Boston's fifth run. Tho final run was scored by Janvrln, who camo all the way
from second when Cheney made a poor throw on Hoblitzell's Infield single.
Intelligent pitching and fielding would havo assured Brooklyn a victory, as It
U hardly likely that "Dutch" Leonard would have lasted the full nine Innings If
Marquard had got by for two or three innings. Leonard did not have a thing
when the game started and for four Innings was constantly In trouble but his
support and Brooklyn's failure to play up-to-date ball saved the southpaw. After
being given the lead, Leonard was Invlrclble and did not allow a single hit In the
last five Innings.
When Leonard does not have a good fast ball there Is no reason why he should
beat any team, as tho work on his fast ball makes his curve very effective, and bats
men do not relish tho way the Calif ornian cuts his "bean ball" by their heads.
yesterday he did not havo a thing on his fast ball until tho fourth inning, and his
j ' lack "of control mado It necessary for him to groove too many balls; but In the
closing sessions he pitched very few balls, being content to depend upon his auppoit.
Leonard was supported brilliantly and wan saved in the first Inning by a heady
lay engineered by Manager Carrtgon and Janvrln and Zack Wheat's failure to
kMjfi his eyes open. Hod Wheat been swako It Is llkoly that at least one more run
wuld hav boon scored In this session, while Indications pointed to a complete
jn'Mi by Leonard when the play was pulled.
Brooklyn Starts at a Dizzy Clip
OHNSTON opened tho game for Brooklyn by smashing the Tim ball pitched to
tho right centerfleld fence and reached third before Walker returned the ball to
tbs) infield. Johnston probably could have stretched tho drive to a home run, but the
ffct that no ono waa out and It waa too early In the game caused Coacher O'Mara
hold htm at third. It waa well that he was stopped at third, as "HI" Myers
MM through with a scorching single to right, scoring Johnston.
It "was apparent that Leonard was rattled and he passed Merkle, At
this attire Zack Wheat made his first stupid play when he swung at the first ball
pitched and forced Merkle at second, Leonard had pitched four successive balls to
Morkle after getting the first one across and the law' of percentage should have
JMM4 Wheat to look a couple of balls over or to move the runners up with a
Mrtfloe. Tho ball that he struck at was high and on the outside corner of the
lata. ,
Janvrin's everanxlety helped the Dodgers out at this point after Wheat had
takon Moond on a wild pitch, though Myers remained at third, Cutshaw rolled
grounder to Janvrln, but the youngster fought the ball and It bounded
away from Mm, Myers scoring, while Wheat went to third. With Mowrey at the
Outohaw started, to steal second find Wheat pulled a "bone."

OLD MAN EXPERIENCE HANDED .
SEVERE JOLT BY MATHEWSON,
,UACK COOMBS AND BABE ADAMS
Ev
Hy GHANTLAKD RICP:
l.l'i:iUi;NCi: Is supposed to play a
trading part In winning Kport. Tlie
experienced entry alwa Is supposed to
have the Jump. It was nmlnly for tills reu
hoii that ilnrquard and Coombs wero figured
as llrooklyn'n lending world series hopes.
They Imd been oer tho lofty hurdles befoie,
nnd therefore were supposed to know the
proper Way. Ynl the ltal statistics In the
matter fall to carry tills theory on to a
logical conclusion.
Their First Start
Malty pitched Ms first world scries cames
In 1905. Bereft of nil world series experi
ence, he yet canned In three shutouts, getting
u pitching record no one eer has equaled
or approached.
Babe Adams entered hli first world series
experience In 1909. He finished with three
victories out of three starts against one of
the hurdcst-hlttlng clubs the game has ever
known.
Jack Coombs bumped Into hit first world
series experience in 1910. About all that
Jack did as a starter was to peel off three
victories against the Cubs, and In each
game he was facing experienced mounds
men. So here we hae three pitchers with no
experlenco In world series warfare, and
their net hanest was nine lctorles out of
nine starts. This would Indicate that ex
perience In the big post-season scramble
was not such a ltal asset after all.
Despite the utterances of many cynics,
there is more to a world series for the
ballplayer than his share of the kale.
The glamour and the excitement sur
rounding the main championship are not to
be oerlooked.
"VA like to get In another world series
and play for nothing," Charles Lincoln
Ilerzog said, while discussing this phate of
the affair. "I don't know of anything that
Is more fun, and I'd hate to think that 1
had played In my last one. You get a thrill
there beyond anything you get In the sea
eon's play, for you always figure that .every
chance may mean the entire series.
"This Is why some ballplayers do better
than usual and why some others don t do
as well. There are a good many who can
play better when they are tinder no strain.
There are a good many others who might
be Inclined to talco it easy in a lM-game
stretch, but who, with only a seven-game
test, would work at top speed every second."
Some day we hope to bump Into a World
Series where:
1. Both managers were not confident of
winning-.
2. Karh game was not considered the
crucial gamo of the series.
