Bender Driven Out

Bender Driven Out
The sixth inning opened auspicioussly
for Bender but before it was over he was
in the dressing room, driven from the
pitchers box for the first time in his
worlds series career. Moran flied TO
Barry, who made the greatest fielding
play of the game in scoring the out. He
ran at top speed almost to the left field
stand and by extending himself caught
the ball In his bare hand. 1t was great
catch and was loudly cheered by friend
and foe. Evers singled to center efild,
the ball almost striking Bender as IT shot
past him. Connolly received a base on
balls and both Evers and he came home
on Whitteds great three-base drive to the
right field wall. The Indian seemed to
weaken, as he pitched rather unsteadily
to Schmidt, who finally pushed a single
into left field, scoring Whitfield. Wyck-
off, who had been warming up for two
innings, was then called into the game
and the big Indian slowly walked off the
field. The young pitcher gave Gowdy a
base on balls. Meanwhile hit sharply to
Wyckoff. who threw to Baker to head
off Schmidt. but the heave was too late
and all the runners were safe. With the
bases full, Deal tried hard to clear them,
but the best he could do was to hit into
another double play. Baker scooped up
his grounder and after touching third,
forcing Gowdy. he threw Deal. out at first.

the run-making.
1t was one-two-three for the American
Leaguers despite the urgings of the
crowd Rudolph seemed to be pitching
just as strongly and steadily as he did
in the opening innings. Murphy went out,
Evers to Schmidt. Oldring was an easy
victim, Deal to Schmidt, and Collins
quickly ended the inning by rolling slow
grounder that Rudolph shot to first ahead
of the speedy second baseman.

in the seventh inning. Rudolph won APP
base, but was forced at the middle bag
when Baker threw Moran's grounder to
