Slam-Bang Game of Dodgers Gives Sox Much
Trouble—Ty, However, Favors American
Leaguers to Take Series—Pulled for Coombs.
By Ty Cobb.
World's greatest baseball player.
(Copyright, 1916, by Ledger Syndl
cate.)
ROOKLYN, Octfl 10, —Jack
Coombs, the former iron
man and mainstay of the
Athletics, today stemmed the
Carrigan tide by holding the Bos
ton Red Sox at bay for six and
one-third innings, pitching a
splendid game,
With the score 4 to 0 in his
favor, the Sox broke through,
scoring two runs on Henricksen's
pass, Hooper's triple to right
center and Shorten’'s single. Then
in the very next inning, the Red
Sox scared again on Gardner's
cireult eclout over the right field
fence, and it looked as if the boys
were going to get to Jack, so he
retired. Pfeffer took his place.
The latter buckled down and
held the Sox helpless, using
nothing but a cross-fire curve
ball.
. . -
M AYS opposed Coombs in the
box and seemed to bhe jyst
made to order for the Brooklyn
players. They layed on the ball
with plenty of confidence and had
- him in hot water most of the
time hde occupied the box. Mays
seemed to have all his speed and
curves, but the Brooklyn sluggers
were shooting away, getting their
hits at the right time. They were
ahead all of the way, making their
four runs before Boston put over
a tally.
Coombs was hit pretty hard all
during the game, time after time
the Red Sox hitting straight into
the hands of the Brooklyn out
flelders.
Coombs kept the Red Sox gues
eing and worked a very heady
game up until the time he de
parted. He did not have his old
time speed or the wonderful snap
to his curve, and deserved a great
deal of credit for the masterful,
heady game he pitched. Jack
seemed to know Just what to
pitch and served them what they
were not looking for at all times.
1 was sorry to see Jack go out
bhefore the hitting of the boys.
1 kind of wish he had had his old
time strength and form with that
wonderful, sharp-breaking curve
of his, and the fast ball that he
used to pop by just to see what he
would have done to the Sox
~ through the nine innings of play.
Personally, I think the score
would have been about 4 to 0.
Jack would not have had to re
tire in the seventh had he been
the iron man who stpod them on
their heads ..fev: years ago.
P FEFFER'S work was very
high- class, though he scem
ed to take very few chances and
kept continually curving the ball
He does not seem to relv on his
fast ball at all.
In the world’'s serles of 1915
Foster, who almost single-handed
won his games against the Phil
lles by wonderful pitching and
hitting, finished up for Mays,
and had the Brooklyns at his
mercy. Foster looked like his
old-time self and he can be re-
Hed on to pitch a full game If
needed later on.
Olson’'s work at bat was the
star feature of the Dodgers' play,
as he scored one run himself and,
drove in two others by his terri
fic smash over Shorten's head
against the temporary bleachers
for three bases, on which Wheat
and Mowrey easlly scored. Thias
was one of the hardest hit balls
of the entire series, and would
easlly have been a home run if
the bleachers had not stopped the
ball.

Joy to Brooklyn rooters and play
ers was the work of Daubert yes
terday. He looked very good
against right-hand pitching, and
no doubt will have to be figured
on against this style of hurling
for the rest of this series.
To Hoblitzel must go snecial
mention, as he was in the game
up to his eyes. He was right on
the close play at home piate when
Daubert smasghed one down the
less fleld foul line, past Lewls, for
4 near home run. On Duffy's
fast relay to Scott, Jake had the
play beaten at the plate, but was
blocked off with his toe not over
three or four inches away from
the plate. O'Day had declared
the runner safe, but Hobby was
right there himself, pointing to
Daubert’s foot, and the runner
was declared out, This kind of
baseball is the kind that decldes
rames and pennants,
. - *
W HEAT had the honor of
making the first and only
successful steal of the series
when he went to second in the
seventh Inning. It wasn't exactly
a steal, however, as Foster's
pitched ball hit in front of the
plate.
IFor Boston, the bright particu
lar fielding star of the day was
Scott, and his wonderful work
around the short fleld was a rev
elation. He handled chance after
chance, many of them difficult,
but he was there all the time
with great confidence, making all
his plays In fine style.
Scott's play on Mowrey's smash
to left field, with runners on first
and second, saved Mays' bacon
early in the game. Myers, for
Brooklyn, made a dandy running
catch of the Boston shortstop's
long drive to right-center, which
undoubtedly cut off a run. One
very peculiar thing about this
game was that Janvrin, at second
for Boston, did not have a chance
during the entire game, and Cut
shaw only had two. This is some
record for the two men at mid
dlamond.
- - .
THW pitchers for today's game
should be Leonard, for Bos
ton, and Cheney, for Brooklyn.
It, of course, looks to me MHNke
Boston for the series, and they
should come through in the next
two or three games; but I dare
say the Boston players are be
ginning to have quite a bit of re
spect for that smash-bang style
of attack that Brooklyn is using,
never letting the pitcher pave a
minute’'s peace, but hopping on
the balls that come over the plate
with a viciousness that is awful.
1 believe they will have a more
wholesome respect for the Dodg
ers in the remaining games.
- .
I.\' this series, so far, the
strength shown by the Brook
lyn team i surprising, ‘The one
real bad thing about their club is
their fielding, especlally in the
infield. Since the first game,
second and short have had few
chances, consequently they have
looked somewhat better and the
games have bheen closer, We can
not tell what would have hap
pened to Monday's or Tuesday's
games if they had had a few dif
ficult plays such as Scott han
dled yesterday,
Nevertheless, on thelr showing
in thig series, compared with the
showing the Phillles made in
their series of last year, the
Brooklyn team looks far and away
the best club. They have shown
three fine, jam-up, well-pitched
games, all decided by the one tal
ly. It looks as if a wild, slam-
Hang st¥le of play is more ef
fective against Boston than the
tightened-up :nozuo:h.
IF Brooklyn's inflield holds to
gether, with thelr added confi
dence, they should put up a
strong game today. They will
have to have great pitching and
a strong defense, for if Leonard
works and should be right, they
will have one tough time beat
ing him. If the Dutchman comes
through with a winning game, it
will give Boston all the advan
tage for finishing the series early
and winning the title for 1918,

T was big Jeff Pfeffer who is re-
I sponsible for Brooklyn’s being the
champion team of the Natioral
League. It was blg Jeff Pfeffer who
was responsible for Brooklyn's first
victory in the world series.
And mark this prediction: It will
be big Jeff Pfeffer who will be re
sponsible for Brooklyn's being the
world champions—that lis, if the
Dodgers are able to attain the title,
Now, this is no prediction that the
Dodgers are going to win the series,
They have a chance to do so—a far
better chance than most people will
give them credit for.
They are ideally fixed in a psycho
logical way to grab the big end of the
big money, and psychology is the big
gest item in a short serfes. The Rob
|ins went into this series with their
heads down. Hardly one man in a
thousand picked them to win. There
is no doubt in the world that but few
of the Brooklyn athletes really expect
'ed to win.
They had heard so often that the
‘superiority of the Boston pitching
staff would sweep them from the
field, that they undoubtedly believed
it. And it took two heartbreaking
games for them to get this idea out
of their noggins. *
. - R
WH./\'I"S the truth of the situation?
Instead of the Bostonians’
pitchers showing up the Brooklyn
staff, the Dodger hurlers have been,
if anything, more effective than thelr‘
Red Hosed rivals. Marquard lost be
cause his frightened infield blew up
behind him. Sherrod Smith lpst sim
ply because he and his teammates ran
wild on the bases. Both Marquard
and Smith pitched plenty of baseball
to win, .
On the other hand, the series has
proved that Boston must rely on her
southpaw pitchers. Ernie Shore, Car-

pinch game. The oold hero of the Ath
lethics instilled a confldence and fight
ing spirit in his teammates that no
other pitcher coulq have stirred.
That spirit was responsible for the
Dodgers’ early lead. But they held
that lead only because of the pres
ence of big Pfeffer.
.‘ . -
THE Bostons knew exactly what
they were up against. They
played a beautifully planned battle
against Coombs. It was evident from
the ball and strike account of the
affray that Coombs had all his old
stuff to start with and the Sox figured
that he couidn’t keep it until the end.
They hit accordingly. Despite the
fact that Coombs was laying the first
one over every time, the Beaneaters
made no bid for it. KBach time they
tried to work Coombs for a three-two
count before they really tried to hit.
This sort of pitching told on the vet
eran and he was through when Larry
Gardner's home run told him it was
time to ask for relief work.
- - .
IT was there In a large package.
When big Pfeffer went on the hill
with a one-run lead, all chances that
Boston had of winning the game went
glimmering like Wilson’s hope of cap
ital’s vote after he signed the eight
hour bill. During Pfeffer's two in
nings on the mound there were six
men at bat. There were no runs.
There were no hits. All of which goes
to show that he was in fairly good
pitching form.
Boston was stopped cold.
And this wasn’'t any flash in the
pan. Brooklyn's early lead in the
National race was earned on the big
fellow’s pitching.
If Marquard should win today,
Pfeffer will be ready to go back to
morrow when the scerie again shifts to
Boston and then look out for the
Dodgers to have the Bostons dormie,
as Old Bill Keeler would say. One
up and one to go.

Davidson Squad Started Practice
Away Earlier Than the Other
Southern College Elevens.
By J. W. Heisman.
Coach of Tech Eleven.
LAYERS and coaches both out
P at Grant Field are beginning
to worry a bit over what the
future holds in store for them in the
next three games right ahead—Da
vidson, North Carolina and Wash
ington and Lee.
It is well known that the Davidson
squad started practice away earlier
than probably any other Southern
team, and this for the precise reason
that they wanted to be at their very
best in their early season encounters
with such exceptionally strong teams
as Virginia, North Carolina Aggies
and Tech. They knew that t hese
three opponents could not afford to
come to any kind of a height in phys
ical conditioning so early in the sea
son, and by working like Trojans and
shaping up early they would catch all
three of them at a big disadvantage.
The way the Presbyterians held
down Virginia two Saturdays ago and
the manner in which they mauled the
daylights out of the North Carolina
Aggies prove conclusively that they
have succeeded in getting into that
tip-top physical condition so highly
desirable for a hard match. And on
this account, as well as the fact that
Davidson has a veteran team andea
pair of the best coaches in the coun
try, Tech is having some restless
nights.

able to get back into the game. He
will surely be needed. “Froggy” Mor
rison was kept out last Saturday be
cause of a slightly sprained ankle,
but no chances will be taken with
him this week, and it is hoped he will
be able to get into the mill. Captain
Johnston and Albert Hill are also
being worked on with extreme care
and patience in the hope of having
them available for later games, if not
for those near at hand.
Dunwoody,got a slight wrench in
his back d\{rlnx the Mercer game,
and he has also been unfit for scrim
mage work since; but now he seems
to be improving and he may be able
to get into the Davidson game.

‘OUTSIDE of Phillips and Shaver,
| the bunch came through the
Cumberland game in good shape.
Phillips received a nasty kick on the
'shin bone, which gave him lots of
lpain for 48 hours, but which seems
to have worn itself out by now. Sha
ver got a shoulder bruise from tack
ling like a catapult that will proba
bly lay him on the shelf for a week
or more, -~
Some of the old men are not yet
back to their best weight of last year,
but nearly all the men on the training
table are making stéady gains, and
it is hoped that they will all soon be
up to top weight. Carpenter, espe
cially, has been rounding to in fine
'uhape and now weighs more than
|ever before in his life.
TH!S week the coaches are work
ing the squad to a finish in the
hope of getting them into stiffer con
dition for the hard games right
ahead. The scrub team has also been
sticking nobly to its difficult job of
glving the varsity plenty of work
and ’urnishlng an anvil daily for
hammering purposes. Coach Clay is
rapidly welding the scrub team into a
formidable aggregation,
As a reward for their fine game
against Cumberland all the varsgity
squad were permitted to go to the
circus this week, and the rule about
getting into bed by 11 o'clock was
held up for the ope night. This put
the boys back in rare humor. They
all tried to stick Coach Alexander
for tickets to the circus, claiming he
told them when he left on Friady last
to watch Davidson play that if they
would score 200 points agalnst Cum
berland he would take them all to the
circus Monday night; but Alex put
up an alibl by a rejoinder to the ef
fect that he had told them he would
“let” them all go to the circus, not
that he would ';tal:e".lhem. ‘
l'r will be remembered that David-
Son was one of the very few teams
that scored against Tech last year.
Alabama and L. 8. U. both red
touchdowns against the Juk:&o by
means of very long and exceedingly
clever forward passes, while North
Carolina chalked up three points
against the local talent through the
medium of a very meritorious fleld
goal by Tandy,
Davidson, however, secured her
points in an altogether different man
ner; yet their score was not the re
sult of a scrimmage or rushing on
slaught, either. It came about as the
result of a long, high punt that Da
vidson's kicker lifted into a strong
wind, which wind carried it down to
within about 16 yards of Tech's goal.
Here Strupper n&do the mistake of
trying to catch is tricky punt in-
Stead of letting it roll over for a
touchback. Just as it struck his arms
a gust of wind caught it again and
ripped it out of his grasp. In the
meantime Younger, Davidson's
speedy right end, had been racing
down the fleld like a thunderbolt, and
was just on the spot to grab the
spheroid u'n and dash across Tech's
goal line for the first touchdown of
the year against the Yellow Jackets,
Davidson maintained their lead un
til the beginning of the second half,
when Tech came out of their dress
lnfl‘ room a rejuvenated and redeter
mined team, and swept Davidson
practically off their feet,
