HAS STOOD TEST
Has Distinction of Having
Pitched Best Game in
Worlds Series
HELD WHITE SOX TO
ONE HIT IN 1906


One record that has not yet been es-
tablished in a Worlds Series is to dis
pose of his opponents without safety. |
/ Edward Marvin Reulbach of the Su-
perbas has the distinction Of having
pitched the best game in a Worlds
Series. In 1906, while wearing the uni
form of the Cubs, Beulbach let the
White SoN down with one safe smash,
made by "Jiggs" Dononue, who died
about year ago, IN the sixth inning
The Hitless Wonders scored a run IN
this controversy, but Donohue's safety
had nothing to do with the tally.
Men who have twirled two-hit games
in Worlds Series are Mordecai Brown,
Ed Walsh Eddie Plank and Bill James.
The Three Fingered Marvel accomplish
cd his feat against the White SoN'
Comisky's one time man of steel Sc
lected the Cubs as his victims, and the
veteran southpaw picked the Giants.
Brown and Walsh whitewashed their
lepponents while they were limiting
them to brace OF hits, while Plank
missed shut-out because of an error
bv Frank Baker and a piece OF bone
headed baserunning by Arthur shater,
who, according to sarcastic member oil
the Baseball Writers Association ot
America, ought to be awarded Chal-
Gners car because he has done more for
the Braves than any other player. James
feat against the Athletics is only recent
history.
