Qox Need but One More Victory toWinWorld Championship
Brooklyn Outfielder’s Foolish Attempt to Score
Pulled Leonard Out of Bad Hole, Says Cobb.
Ty Thinks Ruth ‘Will Oppose Smith Today.
By Ty Cobb.
The World's Greatest Ball Player.
ROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 13.—
B Boston finally broke
through right yesterday,
winning from Brooklyn in a most
decisive manner, completely
humbling the Robins by the score
of & to 2, showing that class will
tell and that a good team can't
be denied.
Carrigan started his strong left
hand pitcher Leonard, and “Hub"
was given a most shocking and
warm introduction. The Robins
at once hopped on his delivery
and before he had gone far Into
the opening spasm they had two
runs over the plate and would
have have had more if Wheat had
not pulled a very bad play by
starting in from third with only
one down, when Cutshaw essayed
to steal second. \
Zach should have known, with
two runs in, and Boston on the
defensive with him on third and
a man going down to second,
they would play it safe, taking
no chances on letting him score
by making a play on Cutshaw.
It was only a bluff, but Zach fell
for it, and this play settled Leon
ard down. He was absolutely in
no danger thereafter, {
Wheat's proper play was only
to protect the runner going to
second by making a bluff, but
he snuffed Brooklyn's chances
when he started in, Janvrin tak
ing a short throw and shooting
the ball into Gardner's hands for
an easy out,
- - .
WITH things going very much
against Leonard and the
Brooklyn supporters wild with
excitement, there i 3 no telling
where the scoring would have
stopped, for Leonard is a very
poor starter. ! predicted in Wed
nesday’s story that, if he got by
the fourth inffing, he would
never be headed. All the hits
the Brooklyna could garner after
this first inning was thrge, one
in the fourth and two in the fifth.
After that Leonard was invincible,
giving mo hits and holding them
at his mercy at all times.
To show how wonderfully ef
fective he was after the first in
ning there were only forr or
five men retired on grouuc balls,
the balance being put outon pop
ups or fly balls to the outfleld.
This is evidence that Leonard
had a nice hop on his fast one
and the National League cham
plons were hitting under the ball.
. - -
'[‘HE Boston club displayed its
real temper in this game,
for, with the opposition holding
& two run lead in the first inning,
most clubs would probably have
lost a little of their confidence
and aggressiveness. But not so
with the Sox. They came in with
that old determination and with
a 2 viciousness of attack that the
National leaguers could not deny.
Going into the second inning they
Immediately hammered out three
runs and went into the lead,
aever to be headed.
Hoblitzel started this rally by
drawing a pass, as he has done
several other times in this series.
Lewis smashed one against the
right fleld fence for two bases,
and with the count three and
one, Marquard served one up low
and outside which Quigley called
a strike. This miscalled decision
aided the Boston club, instead of
injuring them, as it looked to
have done at the time, for Larry
Gardner, with the count three and
two, smashed one far over Myers’
head into deep center for a clean
home run, putting the Sox In
front.
- - -
A PECULIAR thing about
Gardner's stick work in this
geries is the fact that both of his
blows have been for the circuit,
the other coming yesterday.
Larry’s stick work, up to this
time, has been a little disappoint-
Ing, but it must be considered
that he has been up against a lot
of lefthand pitching. If he had
failed to materially aid his team
sn the offensive up to this time,
he has done his whole share with
his home run which wiped up the
Br.oklyn’s lead and really won
the game. This stirling third
sacker also played a great defen
sive game today, making several
. difficult stops and throws.
I would like to say right here
that many will probably criticise
Larry for his play in the first
inning for throwing late to sec
" ond and not making the unassist
ed play at third when Wheat

grounded to him with Myers on
second and Merkle on first, after
Johnston had scored on his three
bagger and Myers' single.
- - .
His play was not to work for
the one man at third, but for an
easy double, but Janvrin was late
in covering the keystone sack.
Hence Gardner's delay in throw
ing got only one man and put a
runner on third, from where he
scored on Janvrin's boot,
Gardner’'s play was made right,
only it did not go through as he
had planned.
- - -
THE Boston c¢lub showed very
strong hitting powers today,
garnering ten hits, eight of them
being made by Hooper, Carrigan,
Hoblitzel and Lewis. Marquard,
who started the game for Brook
lyn, opened up in very flashy
style, setting the first three men
down with very little effort. He
seemed to have a lot of speed and *
a swell curve ball, but no sooner
did the Brooklyn team give him
two runs than he proceeded to
get a bit shaky and was not cut
ting his ball loose with any de
gree of confidence. He seemed to
be holding back and trying to
lay the ball over, afraid that he
would not be able to control his
stuff. Anyway, that is the way
it looked to me. Of course, this
was pie for the Boston batters,
and they did not need to be told
about it.
- . .
CHENEY,. who relieved Mar
quard to let Pfeffer hit for
the Rube in the fourth, pitched fine
ball until he was taken out to
admit another pinch hitter in the
seventh. Larry showed to very
good advantage. He worked his
spit ball low, and with good con
trol. It is pretty late in the se
ries now to find out Cheney's
power, so 1 doubt if he will have
a chance to work unless Brook
lyn should be luck enough to
win today. (heney keeps his spit
ball low and the Sox were both
ered a whole lot trying to fathom
his stuff. To show how very ef
fective Cheney was, he struck out
five men in the three innings
that he occupied the mound,
. . .
FOLLO“V!NG Cheney in the
box was Nap Rucker, the
one-time star southpaw of the
National IL.eague. He held the
Bostons scoreless in the last two
innings. Too bad Nap gets his
chance in a world's series at this
late day, after he has ground out
many years of hard work for
the Brooklyn club, throwing his
arm away to boost the percentage
in the club’s lean years. Now
that his left arm is impaired by
hard work his belated chance
comes, and I dare say Nap will
never work in a full nine inning
game for the big money.
’ - - -
THE one consistent big thing
about this series is the beau
tiful work Scott is doing for his
club, He has made sensational
plays time after time with very
little apparent effort, and has
made them on the hardest kind
of bounds and short hops. Scott
has come through with a perfect
fielding average, saved games for
his club, and T might add right
here that he is the most valuable
defensive player in this serles so
far.
The Boston outfielders have
handled their hard chances with
ease, particularly in yesterday's
game, and have proven their su
periority beyond a doubt In this
series.
. . .
F ROM a baseball standpoint
yvesterday’'s game was not
very good. Very few sensational
plays were made, and it lacked in
interest after the fourth. The
Red Sox's superiority }vus 80
marked that everyone seémed so
realize that there could be but
one result.
Most every Natlonal League
supporter will just about admit
that their world's series repre
sentatives are on the very thres
hold of defeat in this battle for
the title. I look for Boston to
finish it up today, as they wili be
very confldent.
- - -
I BELIEVE Manager Carrigan
will try to end the series by
sending his big left-hander,
Ruth, back at the Robins, but
still there is the matter of right
hand hitters to face a left-hand
er, a® undoubtedly Robbhy wild
pin his faith on Sherrod Smith.
The latter deserves' another
chance after pitching such a
wonderful game on Monday. No
doubt he will be the choice to
oppose the Sox.
Carrigan might come back with
Shore and Cady on account of
their right-hand hitting and hold
Ruth in reserve, but the latter
* has always pitched a far better
game when he was dounbled up in
a serles, as he thrives on hard
work.

MceDermott, third baseman, and Mickey
Kelliher, utility inflelder and outflelder,
for Third Baseman Graff and iiwcner
Allen.
This was made clear when officials of
‘the Richmond club entered denial to
published reports that Eibel was in
volved ir. the deal. It was admitted,
however, that McDermott and Kelliher
are likely to be swapped for Graff and
Allen. Graff would be rarrlculnrly wel
comed here, as he was formerly a mem
ber of the Richmond team when that
club was in the Virginla League.

Red Watson Returns;
l SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.—Red Wat
son, the local sigher who invaded Aus
tralla a year ago a lightweight, returned
on the steamer Blerra yesterday a full
fledged heavyweight. Watson is much
peeved at Snowy Baker, the Sydney pro
moter, whom he accuses of discriminat
ing against him. Red’'s sentiments are
shared by Charles Simpson, a light
weight, who also was a qassenger on the
Sierra,
“l had nine fights and made a good
showing in ail of them,” sald Watson.
“Baker didn't give me a square deal.
He set me down after accusing me of
fouling. The Australian rules are too
strict, and I could not follow them be
cause 1 am a fighter, not a parlor box

Entire Outfit Cost Brooklyn Mag
nate Less Thans2o,ooo—Will
Net Owner $200,000 Profit.
By Frank G. Menke,
T cost C. Hercules Ebbets less
I than $20,000 to gather together a
ball team which will net him a
profit of more than $200,000 before
the last act of 1916 baseball Is staged.
The Dodgers size up as the cheap
est collection of ball players In ex
istence; a team made up of cast-offs
and men called ‘“never-wuzzers” by
other managers. Yet Wilbert Rob
inson welded this material into such
a powerful, compact mass, that It
swept, of its own momentum, to the
very crest of the Natlonal League.
And so, the name of Robinson must
be added to the list of “miracle man
agers."”
The highest priced ball player In
the Dodger roster is George Cutshaw,
the second baseman. He cost Ebbets
$2,300, The average price pald for
the 22 players taking part in the
world series duty was less than SI,OOO.
Several of the Dodgers came to Eb
bets as gifts. Others cost only a few
hundred Next to Cutshaw, the most
costly men were those secured via the
$1,500 walver route. .
Here is how HKEbbets recruited his
team
- . .
D.\l'li!-f!(']' first base; secured from
" Memphis, No cash transaction
was involved, according to the rec
ords Ebbets had turned over sev
eral youngsters to the Memphis club,
and as payment, was to get his cholce
of the Memphis stars. He took Dau
hert, 80, In a sense Daubert didn’t cost
Ebbets a sou
Cutshaw, second base; purchased
for $2,300 from Oakland, Cal.
O'Mara, shortstop; purchased from
Fort Wayne, Ind., for reported price
f SBOO,
Olson, shtortstop; secured from
‘(Meveland; price said to have been
$1,500,
Mowrey, third base; didn't cost Eb
bets a dollar Mowrey was jobless
after the Feds “blew,” and was glad
to hook on with the Dodgers
Getz, utility infielder; purchased
from ¥imira, N. Y., for geported price
of $750
Merkle, secured from Giants in
trade for Lew Mce('arty. Ehbets
signed up McCarty when he was job
less, and, therefore, didn't have to pay
a cent for him So It can be sald
that Ebbets actually got Merkle free,
gratis, for nothing.
Wheat, outfielder; purchased for
$1,200 from Mobhile
Myvers, outfielder; purchased for
S3OO from Connellsville, Pa
Stengel, outfielder; drafted from a
minor; price said to have been SSOO.
- . -
J OHNSON, outflelder; was under
contract with Feds; when league
died, Johnson was turned over to Eb
hets It was reportéd that Ebbets
paid $5,000 for Johnston. This re
port later was authoritatively dented

Robinson Says Marquard Stuck
Ball Just Where Lewis Wanted
It—Manager Praises Scott.
By Wilbert Robinson.
Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
ROOKLYN, Oct. 12 —~There {a
no need for regrats, All we ean
make up our minds to do is to
fight harder and hope to win the se
ries. In some of the games we have
been outplayel, and In some the
“luck” broke against us
The breaks were not ours in the
first two In Boston., Yesterday we
were outplayed. It wasn't a ball game
after the fourth inning.
Leonard started badly, and when
we tipped over two runs in the first
round I felt as If we would win the
series. “Dutch” acted nervous at
first, but he tightened up after the
Sox gave him that bracer of three
runs, and he pitched a grand game.
. - -
M ARQUARD had the stuff when
he warmed up. I never saw
him show more, but he was forcing
himself and wasn't natural,
It is common knowledge that Duffy
Lewis can murder a high ball, yet
Rube stuck one just where he wanted
It in the second inning, and Lewis
busted it to the fence,
I will take the blame for a mistake
that I made, and which cost my club
one run: buyt, as it turned out, it
wonld not have helped us to win,
anyway. In the fourth Inning, with
L.ewis on second base-—-he is one
troublemaker in a world's series—
Carrigan came to bat with two out.
1t would have been haseball to pass
Carrigan and take a chance on Leon
ard, but I will admit 1 was so busy
watching Rube and worrying about
him and figuring on putting Cheney
in that it slipped my mind. Carri
gan made a hit which scored Lewls,
. - -
\THE Boston e¢lub has certainly
| fielded grandly in this serfes, and
T can't emphasize too strongly the
value of Scott, who looks to me like
the best shortstop in the country to
day. Tt helps a pitcher to get support
such as the Red Sox furnish their
boxmen, and I don't wonder Carri
gan's staff Is rated great,
We are not discouraged, and will
give the Red Sox a fight In Boston
today. T expect to work either Pfeffer
or Smith, and either one will furnish
a grand account of himself.
