this afternoon, to 5, in the first game
Of the worlds series, but marred its
victory by skidding badly in the final
inning. For fully eight innings the
thirty odd thousand loyal Boston sup"
porters sat back with a complacent
air of satisfaction, while the Junior
League champions romped thru their
National League rivals for lead OF

Dodgers Start Rally.
With the game apparently packed
away in their bat bag, the Carrigan
clan began to wabble, led by Pitcher
Ernest Shore, and before the last
Brooklyn batter had been retired
Brooklyn had amassed four tallies and
appeared upon the verge of wrestling
the initial game from the American
Leaguers. ~ T
This surprising break, of which the
invading team from Greater New York
was quick to take advantage, was the
feature OF an Otherwise ordinary
baseball game. Before the threaten
ing rush Of the visitors developed the
contest appeared to indicate that the
Boston players would swing thru to
easy conquest "
Daubert Starts spurt.

there were cries Of encouragement for
the National League champions, but
the cheers died away as Wheat forced
Daubert at third.
Shore Hits Slump.
Shore, however, could not control
the ball as he had done earlier in the
game and hit Cutshaw. Mowrey
arose to the occasion with a bounder,
which Janvrin could not handle and
Stengel and Wheat crossed the plate,
while the Boston fans began to move
uneasily in their seats. Their fears
grew when Olson beat out an infleld
hit and they we're scarcely relieved
when Chief Meyers fouled out. Mer'

Shore and walked, forcing in Cut

the thousands when Manager Carri'

substituted Mays. Meyers, Brooklyn

hit, scoring Mowrey, and the Nation
ais were within one run Of tieing the
score with the bases still loaded
Daubert came to the plate for the
second, time in the inning. The cap

stop, which the latter speared, and
without pausing to look whipped il

the bag head first, appeared to ar
rive with the flashing ball, but there
was a great cheer when Umpire
O'Day, who fairly overhung the base
signaled the third out and the ending
of the game.
Hooper Is Individual Star.
1t was a climax that showed the
resources and strength of Boston
when under pressure, but it was not
