This striking difference was mani
tested from beginning to end IN 'he
1915 blue ribbon event. Boston played
every shade of percentage to its ad-
vantage. It's stars lived the part OIL
forsivelv and defensively. Brooklyn

give up. Dodger stars Of reputs'io"
were the very ones that proved 'he
most faint hearted and indifferent.
Boston played as if it realized there
was more at stake than winners emo
Of the prize money. 1t played as if the
reputation of the American League, as
we'll as its own, was involved. Brook

here last Saturday, was not IN a gen

bits But as early as the second inn
inc his battery mate, Cady, kicked q

would have been enough If the hearts
of the Dodgers had been as stout as
those of the Red Sox.
At the opening of the series 1t was
doped that Brooklyn's Wanted offence

pitching. Well, Brooklyn pitching
throughout surpassed that of the
worlds champions. Brooklyn's often
sive proved a paper one. Inc team,

singles to score man from second

team of we'll balanced power. And
Brooklyn's defence-well, the least SAID

the closing game, was not quite up 70
the form of his rival, but with the
lucky break that Brooklyn got against
Shore in the second inning he might

part of Boston's defence all through
this series was the wonderful way II
rose to meet every emergency. Here
and there it might bend bit, but 1t
never broke.
Shore, after his Saturday ascension
pitched the best game Of the series
The Carolina Canister allowed but
three hits, and one of these was rank
scratch, an infield tap that bounded
off his glove to safety.
There were two out in the seventh
frame before Shore gave up his first
clean hit, line drive by Mike Mowrey,
while Stengel added Brooklyn's clos
ing wallop in the ninth. Shore had
the Brooklyn batters so utterly at his
mercy that all interest in the battle
soon died out. 1t was only the men,
DRY of his Saturday upheaval that
held any suspense at all. But this
time he failed to weaken, for after
Stengel had singled in the ninth the
next three men were shot to death
without mercy.
Third Victory for SoI
So the Red Sox gathered in their
third world championship within five
years, collecting this time about $4,000
to the man through their ability to
play all angles of the game. And so
Brooklyn, after waiting sixteen years
TO win flag, had the unkempt fortune
to meet a club that had her beaten
every way. Outside of pitching and an
attack that was hard, but blind and
dumb, the Robins had nothing to show
in the way of competition. Their de-
fence was miserable, their base run
ming worse and their aggressive quail
ties were at a still lower ebb.
Brooklyn has this solace left, $4,000
apiece, and $500, even when you get
the trimming Of your checkered life,
is still $4,000.
"You may remember" said Christy
Mathewson in an interview, what !
said Of these Red Sox last fall. said
then they outclasscd any competition.
Since that date they lost Speaker and
Barry, with Foster Of little use. But
the great strength OF the club was
shown in the power they had minus
three leading stars. How many ball
clubs do you recall who could lose
three stars and still be about as strong
as ever?"
After thinking il over we lit cigar
and started for the train.

asn't even the pretence Of ball game

wasn't even the pretence Of ball game
left.
When Shore broke up Brooklyn's
attack, moving on through inning after
inning without allowing a hit, the
Robins had nothing left except their
uniforms and the losers end. Find
ing they could not break through
Shores greatly improved repertory,
their defence broke apart with a series
of resounding blasts. They were dis
beartened, disgruntled, discouraged
and dismantled, and they had no
thought of concealing their feelings
under any pretence of battle.
JEFF Pfeffer pitched fairly. tidy
game until Weezer Dell relieved him
in the eighth, but no pitcher in the
world could have beaten Shore with
Pfeffer's ingrowing support.
Here are one or two samples:
In the second inning, after Brooklyn
had scored her run on passed ball,
Duffy Lewis poked a drive to eft. IL
should have been nothing beyond SIN
gle. but Zach Wheat played 1t INTO a
triple by overrunning the bound. Oard,
ner then lifted short fly TO left, and
wben Lewis started home Wheat's
throw yanked Meyers at least hfteen
feet away from the plate.
In the third inning Cady singled and
cbnre manned out. Hooper walked.
Janvrin then tapped bounder to Olson
for simple double play. The snort
stop first juggled the ball and then,
10 complete the painful scene, threw
wild TO Cutshaw, the double error net
ting a brace Of runs before the side
was out.
Three Runs Undeserved
Here were three runs scored by Dos,
.on that should never have resulted
from even a fair defence. Lewis should
have never scored in the second, and
tba side should have been retired run
less in the third. Considering. these
details. no blame can be attached TO
Pfefer for tho sombre results. ~
Rrooklvn's defence had been Class b.
instead Of Class X, the pitching OF
Smith, Pfefer and Marquard IN thaS
first battle might have easily net'eo
three victories. - mr.,
~ baseball as attack, Brooklyn's spot,
~ defence cost exactly what IL Shouiu

Roston's defence had but one gap in
.bis anal game--and this gap happened
70 DIG at HCI thiOHb lN'
stop. Last season, against the fhll-
lies, Everett Scott accepted twenty
chances without an error. In this
melee the young Boston star had
picked up twenty-nine chances without
a misplay. making forty-nine worlds
series chances in all.
But when Casey Stcngel hit 70 him
in the first inning for the hftieth
chance, Scott pegged over Hobby's
head for his first championship slip,
adding another error in the seventh
of Olson.

then. was the impulse OF his announce
ment?
There are those in New York. and In
other eastern states. who think any
native son can handle a western state
in a presidential campaign on the IA
vorite son" issue. Also, there are those
in New York, and in other eastern
states, who are anxious to keep inc
primary states Of the middle west from
centralizing on a progressive repuoii-
can candidate-such as Cummins, Tor
instance.
AS Mr. Estabrook was not greatly
needed in the east the suggestion PROB
ably was made to him to revive has
Nebraska citizenship and secure the
delegation OF that state as a favorite
SON." thus making the delegation avaii-
able for some talented individuals sho
would know what to do with 1t at the
proper time.
Therefore. Mr. Estabrook. "of New
York and Nebraska is an avowed can
didate for the presidency, with par
ticular aspirations TO secure the back
ing of his home" state
With Mr.. Estabrook actively in the
field for several weeks 1t Is possible 10
estimate the reception OF his candidacy
by citizens of Nebraska. So far as The
Tribune has observed his announce
ment is not taken seriously In any
quarter and the prediction seems war
ranted that Mr.. Estabrook has no pros
pect, whatever of securing the Ne
braska delegation.
Attempts were made to keep the
Cummins hackers out of the Nebraska
campaign on the claim that Mr.. Esta-
brook was entitled to the courtesy OF
an uncontested home delegation. Find
ing that Nebraska had no notion o.
backing Estabrook the Cummins forces
made a filing in that state and now
have strong assurances that the Cum
Minis delegation will land victory.
The Estabrook candidacy, under
analysis, shows up as part of the gen
erai system 10 impose complications In
the progressive states. 1t is in line
with the attempt to bring out ia
vorite son" in Minnesota and with the
Burke activities for an uninstructed
delegation from South Dakota.
