Slam-Bang Game of Dodgers Gives Sox Much
Trouble—Ty, However, Favors American
Leaguers to Take Series—FPulled for Coombs.

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
gplendid game,
With the score 4 to 0 In his
favor, the Sox broke through,
scoring two runs on Henricksen’'s
pass, Hooper's triple t right
center and Shorten’s sing.e. Then
in the very next inning, the Red
{ Box scored again on Gardner's
eircuit clout 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 be 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
4 Seemed to have all nis speed and
curves, but the Brooklyn sluggers
~ were shooting away, getting their
" bits at the right time. They were
3 ahead all of the way, making thelir
four runs before Boston put over
a tally.
4 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
‘ med. He did not have his old
; speed or the wonderful anap
~ 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
'%hg not looking for at all times.
3 was sorry to see Jack go out
. before the hitting of the boys.
1 kind of wish he had had his old
~ time strength and form with that
~ swwonderful, sharp-breaking curve
.~ of his, and the fast ball that he
~ -used to pop by just to sce 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 ould not have had to re
_ tire in the seventh had he been
" the iron man who stpod them on
'; their heads a few years ago.
45- . -
*P FEFFER'S work was very
- high class, though he seem
.ed to take very few chances and
~ kept continually curving the ball.
;%J!c does. not seem to rely on his
~ fast ball at all.
.~ In the world's series of 1915
?;,hctet, who almost single-handed
~ won his games against the Phil
- lies by wonderful pitching and
~ hitting, finished up for Mays,
" and had the Brooklvns at his
_mercy. Foster looked like his
- old-time self and he can be re
~lied on to pitch a full game if
@md ed 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
_ sic smash over Shorten's head
%‘:uflmg the temporary bleachers
gt three bases, on which Wheat
. d Mowrey easily scored. This
~ was one of the hardest hit balls
of the entire series, and would
3 easily have been a home run if
~_the bleachers had not stopped the
~ ball.

PRS. GROOVER & REGISTER, 325° austen idg., Atiant,
joy to Brooklyn rooters and play
ers was the work of Daubert yes
terday., He looked very good
against right-hand pitehing, and
no doubt will have to be figured
on against thig style of hurling
for the rest of this series,
To Hoblitzel must go speclal
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 dewn 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 Hobby was
right there himself, pointing to
Daubert’'s foot, and the runner
was declared out. This kind of
baseball is the kind that decides
games and pennants,
» . . .
W HEAT had the honor of
making the first and only
successful steal of the seriés
when he went to second in the
seventh inning. It wasn't exactly
a steal, however, as Foster's
pitched baill hit in front of the
plate.
For Boston, the bright particu
lar flelding star of the day was
Scott, and his wonderful work
around the short fleld was a rev
elation. He handled chance after
chance, meny 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
eurly in the game. Myers, for
Brooklyn, made a dandy running
catch of the Boston shortstap'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 pitechers for today's game
should be Leonard, for Bos
ton, and Cheney, for Brooklyn.
It, of course, looks to me like
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 Brooxklyn is using,
never letting the pitcher have a
minute's peace, but hopping on
the balls that come over the plate
with a vielousness that is awful.
I believe they will have a more
wholesome respect for the Dodg
ers in the remaining games.
- - -
IN this serles, so far, the
strength shown by the Brook
-Iyn teum is surprising. The one
real bad thing about their club is
their flelding, especlally in the
infield. Since the first game,
second and short have had few
chances, consequently they have
lJooked 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 their showing
in this series, compared with the
ghowing 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
bang style of play Is more ef
fective against Roston than the
tightened-up methods.
. - -
IP‘ Brooklyn's infleld holds to
gether, with their 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
wlll?\:ive Boston all the advan
tage for finishing the series early
and winning the title for 1918,

Fleffer Saved Day for Dodgers
Robinson Wise to Yank Coombs
l‘lron Man’ Had Pitched Himself
Out Early in Game—Sox Used
Smart Tactics.
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
T was big Jeff Pfeffer who is re-
I gponsible 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 lis, If the
Dodgers are able to attaln 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
big 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 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
fleld, that they undoubtedly believed
it. And it took two heartbreaking
games for them to get this idea out
of their noggins.
. - -
WHAT'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 their
Red Hosed rivals, Marquard lost be
cause his frightened infield 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-
Albany High Plays
Tifton Hi Friday
ALBANY, GA,, Oct, 11.—Albany High
School's football team will play its sec
ond game of the season when it meets
Tifton High School at Tifton Friday.
A. H. 8. played Shellman here last week,
winning an easy victory by the score of
3l to 0,
The local team is expecting a hard
fight at Tifton. T. H. 8. put out a team
last year that was scored on only once
by a high school team, and seven of the
old players are back this year. Tifton
hasn’'t played a game this season, so it
{s impossible to tell just what the 1916
team is capable of doing. ‘

'night. Both are light heavyweights.
_THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN—
'
With Mays and Shore Routed,
.
Carrigan Must Now Rely on
Leonard and Ruth,
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 responsitle 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 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 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.
N . .
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
{tal'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. |
It 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. .

Ilavdson 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 and a
pair of the best coaches in the coun
try, Tech is having some restless
nights.

AFTER getting an arm in bad con
dition as a result of blood poi
soning from a scratch received in the
Mercer game, Hugh Mauck is again
out in harness, and will probably be
‘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 during the Mercer game,
and he has also been unfit for scrim
mage work since; but now he seemsi
to be improving and he may be able
to get into the Davidson game.

OUTS!DE 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
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 training
table are making steady gains, and
it is hoped that they will all soon be
up to top weight. Carpenter, espe
cially, has been rounding to lin 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
disfon 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 wvarsity
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 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 alibi 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.

IT will be remembered that David
son was one of the very few teams
that scored against Tech last year.
Alabama and L. S. U. both scored
touchdowns against the Jackets 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 field
gonal 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 pun’ that Da
vidson's kicker lifted into a strong
wind, which wind carried it down to
within about 15 yards of Tech's goal.
FHere 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
speedy right end, had been racing
down the field 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
the vear against the Yellow Jackets.
Davidson maintained their lead un
til the beginning of the second half,
when Tech came out of their dress- |
ing room a rejuvenated and redeter
mined team, and swent Davidson
practically off their feet.

What They
- Said After
OLLOWING are the st(l!P-
F ments issued by the rival
managers and pitchers of
the opposing teams after yester
day’s struggle between the Red
Sox and Dodgers:
By WILBERT ROBINSON
Manager of the Dodgers.
My boys are started now, so
watch out. We will be out there
fighting Wednesday afternoon in
an effort to even the score.
By BILL CARRIGAN
Manager of the Red Soox.
The switch from Coombs to
Pfeffer saved the Dodgers. The
boys had all warmed up to
Ccombs, and would surely have
beaten him, but we were unable
to get acquainted with Pfeffer’s
style during his short stay on the
mound.
By JOHN COOMBS
Pitcher Who Started the Game for
the Dodgers.
We won the game and that'.%
what counts. | hated to leave the
§ mound, but Robinson is my man- §
ager, and | guess his move proved
g a “wise” one.
By CARL MAYS,
Who Started Game for Red Sozx.
| wasn’t right, and the Dodgers
simply got to my offerings. | would
like to get another crack at them.
By JEFF PFEFFER.
Pitcher Who Stopped the Red Sozx.
Give the boys all the credit.
They pounded out enough runs to
win, and | would have pitched my
arm off if | thought it necessary
to win.
By GEORGE FOSTER,
Who Finished for Red Sox.
Boston will win today and to
morrow. | am prepared to go back g
at them today if Carrigan sees fit
to use me. ¢

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Johnny Ertle,
suposed champion bantam of the world,
will remember last night as long as he
lives. A lanky West Side youth, Joe
Lynch by name, gave him a fight for ten
rounds at the Pioneer Sporting Club
last night that had a lot of our best
citizens doing a sand jig on the chairs.
Ertle’s aggressiveness earned him a
draw and no more.
BROOKLYN.
THIRD INNlNG—Daubert singled to right. .Jde took second on
Stengel's one-timer to left and scored when Cutshaw smashed a single
down the right field foul line. One run.
FOURTH INNING-—Olson reached second when Gardner threw over
first after fielding his bunt. He went to third on Miller's sacrifice and
scored on Coomb’s single to right. One run.
FIFTH INNING—Wheat and Mowrey walked. Both scored on Ol
son's triple. Two runs.
BOSTON.
SIXTH INNlNG—Henrieksen walked and scored on Hooper's triple.
The latter registered on a single by Shorten. Two runs.
SEVENTH INNlNG—Gardner hit a home run. One run.

‘lron Man’ Gave Sox All He Had,
and Then Left Mound After
Homer, Says Brooklyn Leader.
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 the
sixth inning. I came within an ace
of taking him out then. I saw Chris
ty Mathewson after the game.
“John 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 ail 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 game today we will
win the series.
There is another point I want to
take up and put my carpet slipper
down on hard. It was the rotten um
piring. Nobody can say the National
L.eague 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 off the
plate and said he had blocked him.
. - -
HOWEVER. what's the use of com
plaining when we win? My club
looked like a real team yesterday. We
tried everything 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 the se
ries. and I told the boys that when
we had our talk yesterday morning.
Let us go back and look at the
game from the start. John Coombs
' has not heen In good shape since the
series opened, and he has been trying
to cure a bad cold. He was crazy
to work against the Red Sox, because
‘he thought he could beat them, and
'sc did I. I didn’t tell him he was
going to pitch, but I asked him to
warm up before the game. Finally I
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 I
carry, Robbie,” he replied, “but I've
got a cold and a fever.,”
- . -
J()Hl\' was working with his head.
He was tired when he started,
and he looked all in in the sixth in
ning, but his knowledge of the Red
Sox batters carried us along until we
were in a position to win.
The boys all played great ball—the
best they have shoewn 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
expect it crossed them up.
- * =
P AT MORAN has been in the club
house before every game, telling
us what he knows ahout the Red Sox,
and he believes we can beat them
yet.
“It isn’t such a great ball club, Rob
bie.” he told me after the game.
“The old Cubs would have made
an awful wreck of it. Go to it and
win out.”
You can be sure that we all be
lieve we will, and any pitcher I start
will show me a fresh arm when he
warms up. The pitching problem is
up to Carrigan today—not me.
