By GRANTLAND RICE
At o'clock yesterday, shivering in
the biting October gale that roistered
gross the Brooklyn field, Professor
siu Carrigan was softly humming a
we'll known requiem Of nursery days
20. the North tci,,d doth blou,
And re shall hare sro1C,
And what 1ciU the Robins do then
poor boobs,
With their leans and Jdkes
And their other mistakes,
With their Sherrods and Ldrrys ana
port-sided Rubes?"
Almost precisely at this moment the
y,npebunk Express crushed headlons
into the Red Sox Special, and when the
scattered debris had been removed the
yenuebunk Express was trife dented
5ut still on top. Score, to 3, and
Boston didn't win.
The Kennebunk Express was none
cher than John Wesley Coombs, Old
lronsides from the ancient days when
Connie Mack was Akhoond of Swat and
rrlsr Of an empire greater than that
once patrolled by Cyrus in the NJ. & P
League, meaning Medes and Persians.
John Wesley failed TO last out the
4
siternoon's assignment but before he
had retired in the seventh his mates
vsre leading, to 8, so he gets credit
With Pfeifer's aid, for his fifth world
uries victory and for the game that put
The reeling Robins back in the fight at
imoment when defeat meant utter an
initiation.
Daubert and Olson Lead Attack.
Brooklyn, cheered on by the friendly
euawk Of the home town fan and by
tie veteran presence of Coombs, who
has yet 20 lose his first world series
game, drove Carl Mays and his under
hand delivery from the field within
FIVE rounds. This fierce assault was led
BY Jake Daubert and Ivan Olson, VINO
between them ran up three singles anc
brace OF triples. But the decisive
Esllop Of the chilly combat was olson
triple in the fifth. a sonorous smasn
TIA. came with two on and two out, tna'
gave Brooklyn the exact margin sne
needed for q winning drive.
Daubert's triple came within less
than an inch Of being a home run
Jake struck this blow from the pitch'
ing arm Of George Foster, who sup
planted Mays in the sixth. The drive
uiled far into left field, and as Dau
bert turned third, with his legs WORK
Ing Ike the piston rods of an engine
home run looked as sure and certain
~ death and the grave. Fifteen Zee
from the plate, with Scot. relayine
ne throw, Jake slid for the rubber
With Thomas on guard.
But Jake, instead Of shooting alonf
certain safety, pulled up with {
esekspin as he hit the ground WITT
most Of the impetus lost. AS II was

Men reversed the decision whei
Isomss claimed that Jake's quiverini
De was still an inch outside Of port
!his decision-reversal stirred up
storm, as Daubert claimed that Thomas
haa pushed his foot away, but HAM
refused 70 switch for the second tim'

,Ins two big mistakes made on thii
pay, that might have been a wrecker
