i i
r Mit'nv RMflholl Wmrta TliecrnaffH With Knfh Plnv
and Management Boston Won Through Steadi-
nes of Pitch ers Dodgers Weak on Defense
TMK world's aerie Is a thlrnr of the pant, nnd tnany persons nto Inclined to
bttteve that this annual classic will not b played In 1917 unless different con
tftfcmx exist, eksplto the fact that the receipts of tho series between the Hed 8ox
JM Brooklyn wera larger than those of any previous series of llvo games.
.There were Vnany unpleasant features connected with tho series and tho
alitor of ball played by the two teams was below tho usual standard. As a
tut world's series games are nothing out of the ordinary and not near, what
the fans expect, but this was the jvoorest played of all world's series. The lied
Sox deserved their victory, because they were steadiest on tlefonso, were favored
by superior pitching-, particularly so far as heartwork was concerned, and showed
unfunny ability to tako hdtnntnjtc of the Dodgers' mistakes.
There have, been several series lt which a contending team was credited
whh more errors than was charged against Hrooklyn; but we do notrknow of
any where the errors of Judgment were so numerous. "Whenever n p'ay came
Hf wherein nulci thinking was necessary and the guess cither hod to be right
,er disastrously wrong, Hrooklyn's demoralized team could be counted upon to
make tho wrong play.
The Dodgers were outclassed in the last two games, mainly became of miser
able Judgment, but during tho first three contests there was llttlo to choose
between the two champion teams. Tho Ited Sox got so many breaks that
apparently were lucky !a the first thrco contests that the critic, magnates and
players who saw the gomes were- of the opinion that the American league
champions were the victims of good fortune, but after watching the Inst two
battles It was easy to seo that Hoston was the stronger nnd better balanced team.
If Brooklyn had received the breaks In tho llrst two games In Boston or had
sot gone to pieces In the final gamo In rttooMyu thero would probably bo a
different story to tell, as tho fled Box did not look like the same tenm that
defeated the Phillies last ear. Some critics nre Inclined to compaie the Ited
Sox with the famous Mack machine of a few jeaia ago, but to our way of
' thinking the Athletics were so much stronger that- one could- hardly place Car
rigan's team In tho same class.
Boston's Pitchers Were Consistent
BOSTON wot. because of the consistency of Its bitching, a superb defenso In
plijcheand the ability to take advantage of Hrooklyn's mlsplays. Another
thing that hutt the Dodgers was tho failure of Its two mainstays, Jake Daubert
and Zack Wheat, to play up to the form displayed during the National League
season. '
i The work of this pair of Brooklyn stars was the poorest shown by players
f" their supposed character In any world's series. Back In J003 Honus Wagner
failed dismally as a world's series performer,' wlilln again In 1901 tho peerless
Ty Cobb, was a'Joke against tho Cubs; but there are few other Instances where
the work of Individual stars of either league so handicapped their team by poor
playing.
After watching tho efforts of loth players to hit the lied Sox pitching, ono
wonders Just how they got their great batting averages In the National League,
and some of tho fielding errors of judgment were uuch that ono questions the
nerve and fighting spirit of bothjBMnjSwhent started Boston on Its way to the
final victory and failed even to,andp" to tho plate against Shore's blinding
peed. Brooklyn played the samo'aU'le '.of qffenslve ball followed throughout
the season. There was no attcrhit,'lhslda ball, but s'o long as Robinson's
'team was hitting hard It was dangWTOs, but the moment the Bed Sox pitchers
started to show form tho National league champions wore helpless. There
was no attempt At Inside ball by Brooklyn, and the Itoblns failed even to try
to bunt against Shore and Ruth, two slow.-flcldlng pitchers, when It was apparent
that they -could not beat cither man by swinging their heads off. Some critics
are Inclined to bellove that It Is njmost Impossible to bunt the pitching of Ruth
and 8hore, because of the great speed used by both hurlers, but this claim, Is
aslnlnc, as great speed pitchers like rtu'je Waddell And narl Moore lost game
after gamo In Philadelphia because they could not field bunts. Waddell was a
speedier pitcher than cither Shore or Huth, while Moore was just as fast.
Brooklyn simply lacked tho thoroughncrr of attack and was not schooled properly
la the fine points of the game.
Dodgers' Defense Not a Thing of Joy
4 TJROOKI.YN still would hao hud o chance If It hid showed a defense worthy
J?-D 0f ft major leaguo toam yesterday, but tho Dodgors went to pieces and pre
sented Boston with Its four runs. Pfeffer was batted harder than Shore, who gave
one of the best world's series pitching performances In years, but the first break
, Robinson's men got during tho series gave them tho lead, nnd any kind of do
,, fenslye play would have enabled tho Dodgers to hold that lead.
The Red Box earned an Amerfrnn League reputation as a "riding" team.
Carr?gan'a men do not resort to some of the tactics followed by the Braves rind
other teams that became famous as rowdy aggregations, but the Sox follow u
plan that Is Just as effective, when they have the opposing team on the run,' nnd
the' "riding" of certain Brooklyn players from start to finish was, In a large
measure responsible for the blow-up of tho defense.
3 The National League champions never havo been a defensive team of the

f they had not been "ridden." Zack Wheat started al the trouble for Pfeffer
wiien he tried to make a fancy stop of Duffy Lewis's ordinary single, The ball
bounded away from him nnd counted for a triple. Wheat then lost a Chance to
cut down Lewis at tho plate on Gardner's short fly, for he mndo a miserable
throw to the plate, I.cwla scoring, wlillo Gardner got credit for a ijacrfflco.
This run tied up the score and tho Dodgers proceeded to go to'pleces with tho
Red Box "riding" them hard. Cady opened tho third Inning with n single, but
Shore fouled to Mo) ers. Hooper walked and placed Pfeffer In a hplo, but when
Janvrln -ent an easy bounder to Olson the pitcher's troubles should have been
over for the Inning at least. Olson, liowovcr, fumbled the ball long enough to
lose a chance to get any runner, nnd then threw Into right fled when ho had no
chanco to get Hooper at second. Cady scored on this mlsplny and Hooper went
to third. Shorten scored tho latter with a single to center, but If Olson had
handled the ball cleanly u double play would havo been completed and the sldo
retired before a run had been tallied. j
All of the Ited Sox Runs Tainted
MYERS'S rank mlsjudgment of Janvrln's fly gave the latter a dcuble In the
fifth, and Hooper, who had singled, scored from first. Thus It is easy to see
that while tho Red Box o.rv credited with two earned runs, In reality all of the
tallies' were tainted. Brooklyn's run also was n gift, Shore's only pass, a sacrifice
and Infield out and Cody's passed ball permitting the little second baseman to tally,
Thero Is no telling Just how strong Shore would have finished If tho Dodgers
(tad held the one-run lead for a few Innings; but tho fact remains that after he
twd been given the lead,' the lanky Southerner gave a remarkable exhibition of
Mtehlng, UntlJ the seventh Inning the Dodgers made only one Infield hit, by
("0hlr' Meyers In the fifth, and but three safeties were mado n the entire game.
On the merit of his performance, Shore should have registered the first world's
aerie shut-out since Bill James blanked the Athletics In the famous 1 to 0 cloven
hwing duel with Eddla Plank In 1314.
An odd feature of the game that was overlooked entirely by the fans was
that Boston almost forfeited the game because, through An oversight, there was
only one ball left when the game ended. According to the rules, the home team ,
must supply the balls, aftid when this supply runs out H must forfeit the game or
produce balls, One of the umpires declared after the game that there was only
ball In the park when the game erded aside from the one In play,

FINE EXAMPLE SET WHEN
ARDNIMINK AND SPRINGHAVEN
MEET IN "WORLD'S SERIOUS"
By SANDY McNIIIMCK
TWO live golf clubs got right after each
other In a fall team match, and, today
the dispute Is still unsettled, on one aide
at least.
Twenty-eight enthusiastic Unksmen from
Sprlnghaien went over to Aronlmlnk forJ
tho fourth gamo of what was termed on all
sides as a "world's serious" match- Before
the tee-off tho count stood two to ono
matches In favor of Aronlmlnk. according
to one of the eteran members of the team.
Sprlwrhavert Is claimed to have won the
first match in the spring of 1015 on Its own
grounds, while Aronlmlnk cleaned up by
the narrow margin of two points In the
return matclj. This jear Aronlmlnk Is said
to hae barely nosed out In the spring tour
ney.
The large teams were the features of
the match yesterday. Not many clujis In
this district would be able to march out
nearly thirty cf Its best players on a
Thursday afternoon to do battle with an
other team Aronlmlnk stood ready to. sup
ply an opponent for every player that the
Sprlnghavcp golfers produced, and many
of the former team's golfers were disap
pointed in not being able to play.
Tournament Stars -There
Matches such as that of yesterday are a
great boost to golf Interest hereabouts, and
the spirit of rivalry as well as loyalty to
the home club Is a great Incentive for
golfers' to hae In back of them when en
tered In match play. Many clubs Tiere
nbouts are paired up with reference to
location, and there- la no reason why more
Interclub matches are not framed up.
The teams yesterday were led off by many
of the warhorses of many seasons' tourna
ment testings,
Walter Reynolds, hero of the Pennsylva-
nla Lesley" Cup team; George Lindsay, P.
W. KnlghtJPr.. George Jtlauder. O. W.
Statzell. Harjrlson Townsendt J. W. Conn,
R. W. MlBhler. C. II. Williams. 1U J, Levis
nnd a score of others, went to bat for the
Aronlmlnk Club, while. Sprlnghaven pre
sented plenty nf opposition, with talent such
as C. G. Dixon. Warren Tyson, J. M
Thompson, S. It. Corkran and others of
the same speed who came over from
Walllngford.
The big match was that between tl)e
leaders of tho .teams. The matches went
off In four-balj affairs. Walter Reynolds
opposed C. O," Dixon and P. W. Knight
stacked up against Warren Tyson.
The Aronlmtnkers started off with a rush
and gave their opponents no ook-ln on the
first few holes. It would have taken "birds"
to have won most of the holes, and the
Sprlnghavcnltes did not hnvp any "blrdy"
shots In their bags. When the opposition
tried to hit up' 'the pace at the third hole,
had
Reynold walked up to a pitch he
laid on the green and sank a two.
The question of making a bid for the
women's national golf rhamp'onshlp next
year by Aronlmlnk was bandied about
somewhat.
Georgo Klauder, chairman of the greens
committee, asserted tlmt tho trapping of
tho course would all be set In by that
tlmo and that the eont could be handled
without serious difficulty. He favored the
proposition nnd thought It likely that a
bid would bo made
Tho ciar nnd president of the club, "Pop"
Statzell, on the other hnnd, pulled down his
cap and said "Nnw." Tho veteran golfer
thought tho course would be too "new"
nnd thnt the club could not handle a na
tional cent for two seasons at least.
Donald Ross, the links landscapo exnert,
has expressed It asls opinion that Aronl
mlnk, when trapped nnd revised ns planned,
will rank as one of tho best -twenty-five
courses In the country.
According to a messngo from the front.
Mrs. Milton Harold, wandering far nfleld,
won the women's championship of tho
Whltetnarsh Vnllcy Country Club yesterday
from Mrs. J. 11 Tattersfleld. The latter car
ried Mrs. Heruld, who usually plays from
the Phllmont Club, to tho last hole before
yielding her claim to tho club bunting.
Mrs. Ilcrold has been playing n fins gamo
this year, but Mrs. Tattersfleld has been
equally reliable.
The semifinals and finals for the cham
pionship of tho United States Professional
Golfers' Association today nnd tomorrow
are sure to bring out some nf the finest
matches seen along tho coast thlsscason.

HAS Trls Speaker a rival as an outfielder,

Most people would say "No" without any
further thought.
Perhaps he hasn't. Hut we ran Into three
American League ball players a day o -so
ago who believed that as a 5fn,v". ""V
fielder Harry Hooper should, be classea
with even the Immortsl Trls.
"Hooper." one of these remsrked. Is a
far greater outfielder than he has been
given credit for being He can go In any
direction, he has a wonderful arm, and not
even Speaker has finer Judgment. If Tris
has any outfield defensive rival In the game.
Hooper is undoubtedly the man."
As for Coincidences
Dear Sir A bit of coincidence. The
t standing of the clubs In the .National
League gives the list of pennant win
ners In recent years In correct order.
The theme might be elaborated, but you
will see the point at a glance. The first
division gies you the winners of the
last four years. The last team to win
before the, Qlants was Chicago, now M
fifth place, and before Chicago came
Pittsburgh, now In sixth place. These
six, In fsct. Include all the teams that
have won the pennant In the present
circuit. Tied at the foot of the league
come Cincinnati and St Louis, the two
teams that never have won a pennant.
Matty might take a hunch from this
apparent game of rotation and consider
this an omen that Cincinnati will rise
to the top next year and crowd the rest
of the league down one notch.
W. W. D.
Only three pitchers In baseball history
have won five world series games. They are
Mathewson, Mender and Coombs. Coombs
has tho beat record, with live 'wins against
no defeats. Matty has five victories and five
dereats. while Sender has Ave victories and
threo defeats. Matty's greatest setbsck
came In 1(12 against the lied Sox, when he
failed to win a gamo out of three starts, and
yet allowed but one earned run.
Which Is True Enough
The plajrr lies out through the park;
The pfaj It over for the year;
And summer's glow now knows the dark
