No less than four double plays

each killed a hit that had gone before.
Two of these double killings were
M.-.rted 4\:th none out. The other two
. th* aide. Al! ruined good, lusty
hita.
As is usual in world's series j-amea !
these two team* appeared to play over
cautioualy. Bofltofl worked every per
centage for one run at r\ time. The
.: of thl F.ed Sox wes simply
44-ondrrr%!. Hrooklyn's infteld cracked
where :t was expected to do. Ivy Olson
had two boots, Cutshaw a fumble in
? pincb. With such support as m
furnished Shore the world's champions
could have had no more than two runs
r Marquard ar.d Pfeffer.
The breaks went against Brooklyn. j
Marquard was outlucked rather than j
outpitched. Boitoa'fl second earned
thal of t're fifth. was a direct
gift from Hi Myers. The eentre fielder
dinky little fiy in the sun. He |
couldn't locate thc ball till he heard
it drop. That fluke double opened an
I and the run scored later.
Wheat was doubled at the plate in
fourth inning as the result of a
throw by Hooper. Beflton'l
right fielder fell after catching C ut
shaw'fl lir.er. He popped up like a
ball ar.d made a quirk, accurate
throw to Cady. It did appear that
? wa~ not strietly on the job to
take every advantage. A man of his
speed should have scored. With one
more run Brooklyn's ninth inning rally
would r.ot have been in vain.

Saves a Slow Game
Brooklyn Team Almost Stoges a Melodrama in
Ninth Inning, When Boston Red Sox
Have Lead of Five Big Runs. _
By W. 0. ITGEEHAN.
Hoston, Ort. 7.?The Brooklyn National Leaguo team almost ??agH
a melodrama in thc ninth inning of the first game of the world's senes at
Hraves' Field thi? afternoon. The Boston Red Sox had a 6 to 1 lead at the
start of the inning and were flushed to a vivid crimson with victory. But
they wilted and pa'ed to a pali.d and paipitating salmon pir.k when the
Robins rallied ond came so close to turning the tables that the Royal
Rooters forgot to chant when it was over.
It was a particularly apathetic crowd for a world's series game up
to that ninth inning. The Red Sox were working l.ke a nicely geared
machine, while the Brooklyn organization wabbled badly, and ita rr.ech
anism seemed almost to groan.
Then just as it seemed a!l over andl
the nervous ones began to s'nift toward
the exits the Boston machine collapsod
with a bump. Emie Shore, the tall
Tir Heel Terror, who had been pitching
with absolute ataadlaaae, began to get
wild. With the bases fllled, Janvrin
;utrt'led an easy grounder from Mowrey
and a coup'.e of runs came in.
The apathy disappeared. The few
Erooklyn roo'.ers ceased to emulate the
clam of Long Island. They began to
:-hout encouragement and the neutrai
spectators began for the first time to
take some interest. There seemed to
be reason to believe that the always
popular melodrama, "Tied in the
Ninth," was about to be staged with
all the Belasco trimmings.
Up to that time it was just a common
or garden variety of bail game. The
world's series glamour seemed to be
iacking. The teams were runnig to
the form which the dope indicated. The
crowd was startlingly peaceful and
self-contained. After each inning the
Bostonese chanted "Tessie," but they
did it in a particularly orderly and
perfunctory fashion. It might have
been any old game in the back home
lot schedule as far as excitement went.
There were vacant r.eats in all of the
.-tands, too. An hour before the game
President Lannin's hired men were an
i nouncing to the populace of Boston
that there were still plenty of good
seata to be had at par. Boston haa
become bla?e to this world scnes atuff.
Jacob Daubert made the ttrit
entrance in thc near-rnelodrama in the
ninth inning. Jacob was over iue for
a clean swipe, and Shore seemed to
flfll that he waa ivirdfll Bad Wllll Bfild,
passn? r-m. Then ? a---y Stengel flflBt
itie when- Janvrin flraia't, Buck Wheat
ahot on<> .strai^ht for .-.hire. who thre4V
to third. cu'.ting off Daubert.
Shore I ncrve seemed to ooze out of
his mitt right there and he bea.ied
Cutshaw. Then Mowrey came up, while
a section of the Boston rootmg de?
partment bepan to beat upor. tin cans.
Michael looaed annoyed ar.d ahot one
>traight at Janvrin. It should have
been an easy out, but Janvrin jugglei
it and Stengel and Wheat scored.
At this juncture Ivan Ivory Olaon,
who had a couple of costly errora
chalked againat h.m, made an attempr,
to red-em himseif. He slammed out a
hit. Thu brought up Chief Meyert,

Then up came another ex-Giant,
Fred Merkle, pinch hitting for Jeff
Pflffir. There was still another
chance for a former member of th

world's series days to set off the rir^

would have found a voice to-night to
hhout his name. The oysters, too, in
the Long Island waters would bc leav

Daubert!"
But Jaeob failed to connect. With
fame right there within reach of his
bat he missed it by an inch or so. Of
course. Scott, of the Sox, had a lot to
do with crossing him just as he was
about to mount the pedestal. Mr. Scott
peared Jacob's drive and a swish ot'

Whereupon the crowd rose and t.led
