The Washington herald., 1906-10-12


base hit by Rohe proved the undoins
OF the Cubs to-day, and gave the White
Sox the third game Of the series for the
worlds championship. Score, TO o.
Walsh pitched the greatest game of his
life. and after tho first inning held the
Cubs hitless. His speed was terrific and
his control marvellous. His spit ball
never worked better, breaking with a
sharpness that kept the Cubs saving
the air.
Outside Of the first inning, the game
was a pitchers battle Of wonderful quail
fly. Walsh struck out twelve men, and
Pfeister nine. The Cubs made two hits
of Walsh in the first inning, before he
had got his bearings. After that he was
master OF the game, and the Nationals
could DO absolutely nothing with him.
They never even seriously threatened to
score, and the crowd was kept busy
cheering the slant pitcher. Pfeister's S
work was also correct outside Of that
inning. Both teams ielded cleverly as
some atonement for their lack Of batting.
The Sox might never have scored, so ef-
fective was Jack Pfeister, the Cubs
southpaw, had It not been for Rohe's
bANaN Nl4fD lLltb ti4C ACLL ltlQ DlCdCucIS
in the sixth inning. The cottOn-top third
baseman, who did bench-warming duty
throughout the greater part Of the cham
pionship season. won the game for the
American Leaguers with an exact dupli-
cate Of the hit with which he clinched
the first game.
Blanks for Five Innings.
Neither side had scored in the first five
Frzrf tr-y-
strong bid in the opening session. Pfeis-
ter had held the Sox to three hits, two
OF them the rankest kind Of scratches
and the SOx rOOters despaired OF q score
of the southDaw's delivery.
He became wild at the opening Of the
sixth, however. Tannehiu made one OF
his senai-OccasionaI hits, a single past
third. Pfeister made rapid balloon as
cension, Immediately passing Walsh and
hitting Eddie Hahn in the face with a
hard pitched ball filing the bases. Hahn
was badly injured and compelled TO retire
from the game, Tip O'NeiIl going to right
field
Pfeister pulled himself together with
SOX runner on each base, straining TO tear
for the plate. Manager Jones was unable
70 solve his delivery, and. after swinging
King. Isbeu, the hardest hitter Of the
Sox, was easy for the Cub twirler fan
ming for the third successive time.
Robes Terrific Smash.
Robe came up with every Sox rooter
calling for him to win the game. as he
had the first. Pfeister shot fast straight
one along Robes shoulders, and the Sox
third baseman met it squarely with
smash which spelled defeat for the Ma
Jional League Champions. The bail went
straight into the left field seats. while
Tannehill, Walsh and O'NefI scampered
homo ROhe. under the ground rules, was
given three bases on the smash.
The Cubs had but two chances to score.
Hoffman started things going with a sin
gle. Sheckard tried TO sacrifice. but fan
ned. Hoffman was nipped trying to steal
second. Schultz followed with q two
base hit 10 left, but died on second when
Isbell threw Chance out.
Again, in the ninth, the National
Le2gUers threatened 10 send q man 20 the
registering place. Gessler was sent to
hat for Pfeister He was safe on a fun
bic by Isbell, took second on HOnman's
out, Isbell to Donohuer and slipped up 70
third on a wild pitch. y run for the
Cubs seemed certain, but Walsh pulled
Z
and Shuttle IN succession, and the third
same Of the series was chalked up on
the winning side Of the SoX ledger.
The largest crowd Of the series saw
the game, % So persons paying TO see the
battle.
Great Fielding by Evers and Tinker.
Evers and Tinker pulled off three of
the greatest fielding stunts ever witnessed
Ey a Chicago crowd. In the second In
ming Tinker picked Up Rohes terrific
smash back Of third base and threw his
man out at first, In the fourth, Evers
ran TO right foul line and caught Hahn's
short line fly, which looked like a sure
single. Again, In the fifth, he brought
down the crowd by making a marvellous
pickup and throw Of Rohes bounder
straight over second base, which had
all the marks OF a single.
Pfeister pulled himself out Of a bad
hole IN the same inning. wnen Dono-
hue. with one out, hit into the right field
crowd for three bases. Pfeister caused
Dougherty TO raise q foul to King and
famed Sullivan.
