Dodgers Rely on Big Right-
Hander to Rally Shattered
National Leaguers.
By FRANK G. MENKE,
BOSTON, Oct. 12.—Unless Jack
Pfeffer, a huge pitching person, can
gain for them a stay of execution, the
Dodgers will go to their world's se
ries death this afternoon on Braves
Field, with a crowd of more than 40,-
000 watching the obsequies.
Backed to the wall by a 3-to-1
count, the Dodgers now are face to
face with oblivion. They are pre
pared to make a final flight for life,
but the odds seem to be against them.
It would seem that only something
like a miracle can save them from
death today and gain for them ulti
mately their ambition—the undisput
ed rulership in the kingdom of base
ball. ‘
The weather today was clear, uun-§
shiny, but rather cold. And the at
tendance for this fifth—perhaps final
—world's series game promised to go
close to the record mark. This is
Columbus Day, and it is celebrated
in Boston by closing up all the stores
and shops, so that the merry vil
lagers will have a chance to rustle
cut to the ball park and contribute
some of their hoardings toward fat
tening the bank rolls of the baseball
magnates.
While it is almost a certainty that
Pfeffer, the huge right-hander, will
pitch for the Brooklynites, the selec
tion of the Sox remains to be made at
game time. It undoubtedly will be
Ernie Shore or “Babe” Ruth, the
southpaw.
Shore's Turn to Work.
It is really Shore's turn to piteh.
But Bill Carrigan may pitch Ruth
in an effort to end the battling right
here today Ruth held the Dodgers
at bay for fourteen inning and vielded
but one run in his start. Shore, on
the other hand, was bumped with
regularity by the Dodgers and gave
them five runs in the opener. The
'Dodgers like righthanded pitchers—
and they don’t like portsiders. The
betting today was around 7 to 5 and
'8 to 5 that the Sox will win today’s
‘game, and 4 to 1 that they will wip
‘ the series.
No Brooklyn money has covered
‘ any of the series offers, put there have
been a number of wagers on the out
come of this afternoon’s game. Pfeffer
either pitches a wonderful game—or
an awful one. And the thinning
Dodger rooters feel that this may
be the day when he will make the
enemy look like bushers.

Keeler Sees Dodgers
Lose; Thinks Only Rain
Could SaveThemToday
BY O. B. KEELER,
Of The Georgian Staff.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—50 far
as the Dodgers are concerned ,the
obsequies will be solemnized this
afternoon in Boston and the re
mains shipped to thelr various
resting places for the winter. The
Dodgers are through for the year.
Yet there may be a ray of hope.
As a prognosticator 1 am an
A-1 fitvver. Look at the sobs
yesterday over Nap Rucker’s not
getting in the series—and there
was Nap “pitehing in the eighth”
as big as life. Bigger, if any
thing, being pretty plump. Looked
good, too. Only Dodger pitcher
operating on Wednesday that got
away without Dbeing nicked.
Nothing mueh on the hall but
the cover, but the wise old noodle
was feeding the Sox things they
didn’t order. Pity it couldn’t
have been saving a game Instead
of being just shoved in at the
end of a losing struggle, because
Robby was running shy of pitch
ers. Yes, we may all be wrong
about it. But the dope all set
tles on Boston to settle it in the
fifth game.
Still, it may rain.
There is one guy living in this
world that is a worse guesser
than I am. At least, he was liv
ing Tuesday afterncon. He sat
with me coming back from the
Brooklyn victory, and this is part
of what he had in his sysetm:
“I have it all doped out Brooklyn
will win the serfes. It will go the
full seven games. Marquard will
win three and Coombs one.”
This last shot was a compara
tive cinch, Coombe just havirg
been credited with the Tuesday
win. But my {informant went
further: “I think Marquard will
win tomorrow and Boston will
beat Smith the next day. Then
Marquard will win again, and
they will shoot him back in the
final. He will start well and the
Dodgers will give him a big lead,
then he will weaken and Coombs
will be sent in to save the
game.”
Being pressed for more specific
information, he said it would be
in the seventh inning that John
Wesley would receive the 8. 0. 8.
He was very precise.
I told him that on advance dope
he had H. Fullerton skinned nine
wag from the jack, and he said
he thought so, too.
1 wonder what he thinks now.
There was a rather bigger mob
out in the Wednesday game, due
to the Robins’ victory the day be
fore. By the same token there
will be an even bigger mob out in
Boston-town today, but I ain’t
going to be there. The ceremo
nies will have to proceed as best
they can. 1 am going back to
Dixie. 1
Two forkhanders started yes
terday, and two of them finished,
only it was a different cockeye
for the Dodgers. It gets me wild,
watching southpaws. I don’t see
how they expect to get it over,
throwing left-handed. It's bad
enough with one on the siab.
With three in the same game it
ig awful. The other operator was
Larry Cheney, who fanned three
Sox in the sixth and was side
tracked after the next frame.
During the domestic portion of
the opering round, I got to won
dering where Dutch Leonard got
his reputation. In this second he
was excessively in dutch. He
suffered a triple, a single and
a base on balls before he decided
which was the right way around
the track. The crowd Wwas
breathless by that ime and when
a scrateh hit pushed over anoth
er run, Dutch began tying his
shoes. The Sox sparred for time,
and finally got the Dodgers out by
some sharp fielding on Wheat
and Merkle, after which Leonard
mobilized and fanned Mowrey.
From then on I discovered by
easy stages why Dutch is well
regarded In Boston. He pitched
so extra well that it looked as if
the Dodgers had quit. At that,
I think they did curl up after the
second inning. The Box came
back with three runs and there
after it seemed I could hear the
~tails“of the Nationals hitting the
ground with dull thuds at fre
quent intervals,
Rube Marguard breezed through
the first round like a million dol
lars in gold. He tossed out Hoop
er und fanned Janvrin and Walk
er. The old zip-along was zip
ping and the Sox looked entirely
futile.
They looked different in the
next and it was Rube’s own little
fault. He passed Hobby and then
Duffy Lewis laid one to the right
field wall. Johnston reached the
ball and the wall at the same
time and failed to stick to either.
This placed crimson hoslery on
second and third, with nobody out
and all you could hear in the
stands was a hoarss wheezing
sound.
It wouldn’t be a world series if
somebody didn’t bust a four
bagger off Rube Marquard, and
this time it was Larry Gardner.
The hit sailed high over Hi
Myers' dome in center and Larry
slid In to the plate with three
runs and a couple of seconds to
spare.
The game proceeded, but it was
over, just the same. The Rube
never looked the same after that.
The Sox kept pecking away, col
lecting a run here and there.
But they didn’t really need them.
Manager Carrigan was back of
the wood, acting as chauffeur for
Leonard, and the boss stmply
made him be good. Carrigan ls
pretty fat, but it is all south of
his necktle and he can still
bust 'em, too.
It looks to be all over with the
fifth game, gentlemen, therefore
I think there will be two or three
more games played. You see,
when I think a thing is going to
happen, I always know it ain't.
If I could only arrange to copper
my own bets I would never look
another typewriter in the face.
But win, lose, draw, rain or
snow, the big series will have to
struggle along minus my dis
tinguished patronage.
I am going back to Atlanta, Ga.

The four railroad brotherhoods
Thursday were investigating a report
made public Wednesday afternoon
that two children had been expelled
from the city schools of Atlanta for
expressions of sympathy for the strik
ing street car men.
The report was made before the
mass meeting in Red Men's Wigwam
on Central avenue Wednesday after,
when hundreds of strikers and other
union men and friends met to plan
a settlemet of the walkout. John H
Welch, division chairman of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
was speaking and saild he had it from
a truthful source that he children
were expelled because they wore “I
will-walk” cards.
A man siting on the front row at
the meeting shouted that he was
present when the children were made
to abandon their studies, and would
be a witness in the Investigation.
“The statement is so absolutely
false,” =aid Buperintendent Landrum,
of the eity schocls, Thursday, “that
there is no reply to be made to the re
port. We have had nothing to do with
the strike, one way or the other.”
At the meeting Wednesday a mo
tion was adopied asking that each of
the labor unions in this district ap
point one representative to work with
the brotharhood representatives in
seeking out the truth in the strike
situation. It is planned to have them
publish the true status of the contro
versy, after which the public will be
asked to decide whether the company
or the men are in the right.
A large mass meeting at the Audi
’torium for Friday night was being
planned by the leaders Thursday.
The Wigwam had an overflow crowd
Wednesday afternoon, and could not
accommodate the large attendance,
}All unions and many other organiza
tions were represented.
Thomas B. Felder made a few re
marks of encouragement to the strik
ers. Tull C. Waters, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, told
the meeting that one of the parties in
the controversy was wrong, and sug
gested a committee to learn who it
was. George Evans, of the Order of
