Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-21

1t is a matter of indifference to Mr.
Mack He and his players regard the
game tomorrow as a mere formality-
a bit of red tape, with incidental prof
it, of course-necessary to guarantee
the title to the bunting.
REULBACH LASTS TWO
The combat today was a slaughter
Reulbach lasted just two innings dur
ing which he allowed one single and
two doubles, passed two batsmen and
saw three runs cross the home plate
Mcintyre was the next twirler led up
for the slaughter. He pitched third
of an inning, but that was long enough
for the visitors to hammer out two
singles, a home run and to send Da-
Wis to first, rubbing his back where
one of McIntyre's inshoots had hit
him. With the assistance Of a boot
by Schultz four runs were scored un-
der his beneficent reign.
The bright particular stars of the day
were Coombs, Barry and Murphy
Coombs allowed only six hits, passed
four men and contributed a two-bag
ger and a single, which added three
runs to the Philadelphia collection.
Barry hit as If there was another au-
tomobile in sight. Also he figured
in double plays. He made three hits,
each one double, drove in two runs
and himself reached the counting sta
tion three times.
It remained for Murphy, however,
to electrify the crowd. His first note
worthy exploit was to smash the ball
over the heads of the right field crowd
into the regular bleachers for four
sacks driving in two runners ahead
Of him. At the time he did not know
how far the ball had Travelled and stop
affar pOUnrinp the two bases AL
lowed under the ground rules for hits
into the outf1eld. The hit was more
than a run-counter, for it figured in
the expulsion of Chance from the
grounds. Chance, Joined by most of
his men, surrounded O'Day in an en-
deavor to persuade him that the rules
made all hits into the crowd at any
point or distance doubles. The umpire
couldn't see it, and when the Cub
leader sought to prolong the argument
ordered him from the field. Archer,
ordinarily a catcher, replaced him at
first.
PERFORMS CIRCUS STUNT
Murphy's next sensational eXhibi-
tion earned him an ovation. He ran
back after what Zimmerman had
marked for a double, jumped on the
barrier in the right field, grasped the
ball by his finger nails, fell over back
ward into the crowd and presently
emerged with the trophy still safe.
Meanwhile Sheckard, thinking there
were two out or that Murphy could
not possibly have captured the ball,
sped around the bases. He awoke at
third to find he had been doubled at
first
Sheckard faced Coombs four times
and all but once was allowed to walk
He brought two runs across the plate
and fielded his position without flaw
Both of Schulte's hits were doubles.
Tinker made three hits, one of which
was a double His fielding was not
up to his stick work, however two
errors being charged against him. He
negotiated the only stolen base Of the
day.
The brand of weather furnished con-
stituted an argument against long
schedules. Early in the morning it
rained, and while this shower passed,
mistlil1e drops fell during much of the
game. A chilling wind came from the
northwest and the clouds were so
overcast that the spectators had diff
Guilty in keeping track Of the ball.
FOUR THOUSAND IN LINE
There were 1000 persons in line when
the sale of general admission tickets
began and when the turnstile count
was completed it was announced that
26,21O persons paid for their admission
at noon, many Of those present munch-
ing at lunches and drinking coffee
which was hawked about the stands
in little tin buckets
There were interesting eXpedients
resorted to in securing tickets for
persons who did not care to stand in
line themselves. The experience Of a
messenger boy hired by the hour is
typical. He was ordered to secure
twelve tickets regardless of cost. He
and was among the first to secure the
four tickets allowed to a single pur-
chaser when the box office opened. BY
