Red sox yesterday; and all Fla,bu.h |,
wondering why such things can B.
The score yesterday. as taken BY u.
300 persons present was six ,or y.
champs and zero FOR the would.be,
The work Of one man stood An.
against the tempest which sven, IL,
Brooklyn nine and the mists VIII.
lowered over the diamond. Thi, ma,
name was Carl Mays. The bani,,
curves he served to such men a, z.,,
Wheat and Casey Stengel certainly IA
amaze. ~
Two puny hits was the toll or "a,
second string pitcher Of Carrigs,,
squad. One fan made the timely can.
mont that Mays was working nj, hos,

facetious person was trying 10 sprrs
an April fool joke. As a matter Of tse,
Mays was born in June.
The deciding blow OF the game IA,
struck In the first inning, though /,
was not recognized as such By the loe.l
fans. who naturally maintained ,ha,
one run at such stage didn't amour,
10 much. But u so happened tia, hi,
one tally was al that was needed.
Here's how the telling blow wu
delivered:
Mr. Hooper. Of worlds serie. fan,
singled 10 centre, much 20 the surpr,
Of Big JEFF Pfeiter, who threw the bal
az narry's bat. Scott sacrificed. .rS
Getz tossed out the great Iris Speske,
but Hoblitzel- came through vith
single, which sent Hooper 70 third
4 double steal followed and carried
Hooper home when NcCar,y aimed h,
heaye at Umpire Klein instead Of Cut.
shaw. az second.
The Red Sox were just as gnors-.
as Robbie and Robbie's men Of he
fact that this one count would b
enough 20 win. So Carrigan's cohor.
got busy again In the second inning,
the Robins going out IN one-iwo-ihne
order in the meantime.
The second spasm, which nailed n.
lid on the coffin. vas staged thusly:
Getz threw out Gardner Barr
drove an easy iy 20 0Nars. TT'
cut, and Robbie nudged COMBS az!
said: "Old JEFF is all right now
He was all right then, but in iifT
he was all wrong Cady singled
through short, and Mays, the Amazing
sent a sizzling liner 20 right for base
Harry Hooper did the cleanup stsr'
by driving out a triple, on which Zsca
Wheat vainiy tried 10 get his hands
The far famed Speaker followed III,
fan silencer with a double TO rig.i
which, OF course, tailed Hooper. Her
risen. who makes his hits In the pnc.l
realized that there was no pinch, 80
obligingly dribbled TO Prefer for 8,
easy out.
The Flatbush fans. who had BEE,
