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 Sy¢ndl

’ ROOKLYN, Octfi 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 mscore 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 scored again on Gardner's
circult clout over the right flei
fence, and it looked as If the boys
were golng 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 he just
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 he 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
ging 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
1o 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
before the hitting of the boys.
I 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 tWe Sox
through the nine innings of play.
Personally, 1 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 a.tov.v y:ara ago.
P FEFFER'S work was very
high class, though he seem
ed to take very few chances and
kept continually curving the ball.
He does not seem to rely on his
fast ball at all.
In the world's series of 1915
Foster, who almost single-handed
won his games against the Phil
lies 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-
Hled 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 bhleachers
for three bases, on which Wheat
and Mowrey easily scored. This
was one of the hardest hit balls
of the entlre series, and would
easily have been a home run if
the bleachers had not stopped the
= bhall.

Joy to Brooklyn rooters and play
ers was the work of Daubert yes
terday. He looked very good
against right-band pitching, and
no doubt will have to be figured
on against this style of hurling
for the rest of this series.
To Hoblltzel must go special
mention, as he was in the game
up to his eyes. He was right on
the close play at home plate when
Daubert smashed one down the
left field foul line, past Lewis, for
a 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 obby was
right there himself, ting to
Daubert's foot, and th&runner
was declared out. This kind of
baseball is the kind that decides
#ames 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.
For Boston, the bright particu
lar flelding star of the gay 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.
-.- /
THE pitchers for today's game
should be Leonard, for Bos
ton, and Cheney, for Brooklyn.
It, of course, looks to me ke
Boston for the serles, 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 have a
« minute's peace, but hopping on
the balls that come over the plate
with a viclousness that is awful,
I believe they will have a more
wholesome respect for the Dodg
ers in the remaining games.
0 .
IN this series, so far, the
strength shown by the Brook
lyn seam is surprising. The one
reak bad thing about their club is
their flelding, especially in the
infleld. Since the first game,
second and short have had few
chances, consequéntly they have
looked somewhat better and the
games have been 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 this series, compared with the
showing the Phillles made in
their serles 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
lv. It looks as if a wild, slam
bang style of play is more ef
fectlve against Boston than the
tightened-up :ne:ho:h.
lF‘ Brooklyn's Infleld holds te
gether, with their added confi
dence, they should put up a
strong game today. They will
have to have great pitehing and
a strong defense, for if Leonard
works and should be right, they
will have one tough time beat
ing him. If the Dutehman comes
through with a winning game, it
will give Boston all the advan
tage for finishing the series early
and winning the title for 1916,

‘lron Man’ Had Pitched Himself

Smart Tactics.
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
T was big Jeff Pfeffer who is re-
I sponsible for Brooklyn’'s being the
champion team of the National
League. It was big 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 s, 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
glve them credit for.
They are“ideally fixed in a psycho
logical way to grab the big end of the
blg money, and psychology is the big
gest item in a short series. The Rob
ins went into this series with their
heads down. Hardly one man in a
thousand plcked 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 pltth&%s
staff would sweep them from the
fleld, that they undoubtedly believed
it. And it took two heartbreaking
games for them to get this idea out
of their noggins,
. - -
WHAT'H 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 their
Red Hosed rivals. Marquard lost be
cause his frightened infleld blew up
behind him. Sherrod Smith lost 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-

NEW YORK, Oct. 11—Charles L.
Feltman, proprietor of Feltman's res
taurant in Coney Island, and prominent
business man of Brooklyn, may soon
become the owner of the club which is
now battling the Boston Red Sox for
,the championship of the world.
“I had a long talk with Mr. Ebbets
about the sale of th Brooklyn eclub in
Boston,” sald Mr, Fgc-ltman. “I have
nothing definite to say on the matter. I
believe that the owners of the Brook
lyn club will take the matter under con
slderation.”
According to one of the officials of
the club its franchise is worth $500,-
m and the plant at Ebbets Field $050,-
r‘res!drnt Ebbets controls 51 per cent
of the common stock and Steve and Fd
McKeever the remainder. There is $lO,-
000 in preferred stock outstanding.

pinch game. The old hero of the Ath
lethics instilled a confidence and fight
ing spirit in his teammates that no
other pitcher could 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 exaectly 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 couldn’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. Each time they
tried to work Coombs for a three-two
count before they really tried to hit.
This sort of pitching tosls:l on the vet
eran and he was through when Larry
Gardner’'s home run told him it was
time to ask Tor relief work.
- - .
IT was there In a large packgge.
‘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 scene 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.
i 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 };\'o Saturdays ago and
the manner in which they mauled the
daylights out of the North Carolina
Aggles prove conelusively that they
have succeeded in. getting into that
tip-top physical condition se highly
desirable for a hard match. And on
this account, as well as the fact that
Davidson has a veteran team and a
pair of the best coaches in the coun
try, Tech is having some restléss
nights.

Mercer game, Hugh ‘Mauck is again
out in harness, and will probably be
able to get back into the game. He
will surely be ne&ded. “Froggy” Mor
rison was kept out last Saturday be
cause of a slightly, sprained ankle,
but no chances wi&{l 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 avallable for later games, if not
for those near at hand.
Dunwoody got a slight wrench in
his back during 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.
OU‘I‘SIDE of Phillips anda 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
pain 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 trainin
table are making steady gains, ang
it is hoped that they will all soon be
up to top weight.. Carpenter, espe
cially, has been rounding to in fine
shape and now weighs more than
ever before in his life. .
. - .
THIS' 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
giving the varsity plenty of work
and furnishing 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 varsity
squad were permitted to go to the
circus this week, and the rule mbout
getting into bed by 11 o'clock was
heid up for the one 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 against 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 “take” them.

l'l‘ 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 scored
touchdowns against the Jackets 3y
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 15 yards of Tech's goal,
}Hero Strupper made the mistake of
trying to catch this 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
ap‘xdy right end, had been racing
down the fleld like a thunderbolt, and
was just on the spot to grab the
spheroid up and dash across Tech's
goal line for the first touchdown of

Davidson maintained thelr lead un

‘lron Man’ Gave Sox All He Had,*
and Then Left Mound After
Homer, Says Brooklyn Leader,
RRAE . ;
By Wilbert Robinson. ,
Manager of the Champion Dodgers,
EW ~ YORK, Oct. 11.—John
N Coombs gave the Red Sox all
he had, and he won the game
for us. He went into the box with a
bad cold, and he was tiring in tha
sixth innjng. I came within an aca
of taking him out then. I saw Chris
ty Mathewson after the gamae.
“Joh#r"took/himself out today,” said
Matty, “and that takes nerve on the
part of a big leaguer.”
That is just what John Coombs
did. He pitched all he had, and then
he walked out of the box after Gard
ner hit the ball over the right-field
fence\ for a home run. Pfeffer was ‘
just right to finish, and he held the’
Red Sox safe, but the big piece of
credit is coming to John Coombs. He
was really sick when he took to the
box.
If we win the ga{'ne today we will
win the series.
There is another point I want ta
take up and put my carpet slipper
down on hard. It was the rotten um
piring. Nobody can say the National
League umpires gave us any the best
of it. Daubert had a home run if
there ever was one, but Thomas, a
smart catcher, pushed his foot eff the
plate and said he had blocked him,
- - R
HOW’EVER, what's the use of com
plaining when we win? My club
looked like a real team yvesterday. We
tried evervthing there is in the book.
We used the hit-and-run and went
after them red-hot. It was up to us
to win that game or concede these- A
ries, and I told the boys that when
we had our talk vesterday morning.
Let us go back and look at the
- from the start. John Coombs
has not been in good shape since the
series opened, and he has been trylng\q
to cure a bad cold. He was crazy ¥
to work against the Red Sox, because
he thought he cow#d beat them, and
so did 1. I didn’t tell him he was
going to pitch, but I asked him to
iw:};m up before the game. Finally 1
said: .
“John, you'll have to work today. I
haven’'t got anybody else to start.”
“T'll go in there and give you all T
carry, Robbie,” he replied, “but I've
got a cold and a fever.”
. - -
J OHN was working with his head.
He was tired when he started,
’:md he looked all in in the sixth in
ring, but his knowledge of the Red
lSnx batters carried us along until we
were in a position to win.
The boys all played great ball—the
lhnsr they have shown in the series.
| We waited out Mays, as we-had heen
|tipped to do, and this beat him. Also,
that bunting when the Red Sox didn’t 4
l: xpect It crossed them up.
- - - .
| P AT MORAN has been in the club
l house before every game, telling
us what he knows ahout the Red Sox,
l:nwl he believes we can beat them
vet.
“It isn’t such a great bhall chib, Rob
bie.” he told me after the game,
“The old “™nbs would have made
an awful wreck of it. Go to it and
win out.”
You can be sure that we all de
lieve we will, and any pltcher I start
will show me a fresh arm when he
warms up. The pitching problem is
up to Carrigan today—not me.
