The mirror., 1916-11-16
The fourth game, on October llth,
brought about the appearance of Leonard

| >econd time, essayed to win for Brooklva.
Brooklyn gained the advantage almost i'm
mediatey by some hard hitting that pro-
duced two runs, but Leonard frightened up
thereafter and was never in much danger
the rest of the way. Marquard's delivery
was solved by Boston in the second inning
when base on balls, a double by Lewis,
and cracking home run scored three runs
ind put Boston in the lead. This was the
second home run made by Gardner in the
series. Manager Robinson sent Cheney
nto the box in the fifth but he could no,
old the Red Sox runless. Then in the
Eighth appeared that grand old war-horse
md veteran pitcher. MAP" Rucker, who
Ior many years did valiant service for
brooklyn and was the pee: Of all left-hand-
srs. 1t was fitting climax to long and
honorable career as an athelete tha, he
should be called upon to stem the tide
'gainst Brooklyn. The greatest honor that

'ut runs. Manager Carrgan was one of
hose who fell a victim to his delivery and i,
5 said that when he was asked afterwards
which was the most deceptive, Rucker's
low one or fast one, Carrigan replied 81
couldn't tell them apart but he fooled me
,nyway."
The last game of the series was easily
von by Boston. The Rel Sox players ap-
1eaTed certain of victory and played with a
ym and dash while the Brooklyn players
wore worried, dispirited and Dropping air.
,hore, for Boston pitched fine game and
let his opponents down with three hits.
Pfeffer pitched creditably, but Boston pro.
:eeded to get hits when they were needed.
There was nice point of scoring involved
n this game when in the thlrd inning
Olson, the Brooklyn short-stop made le-
:ord Of being charged with two errors on
one play. Boston's half of this irning
opened when Cady singled. Shore touled
1ut- Hooper was given base on balls
JAnvrin hit to Olson aid Cily scored when
'scn juggIed the ball. Olson then threw
wild to Cu,shaw, trying to get Hooper,
who went to third. The above description
Of the play was written by Mr.. n G.
Hamilton, United Press Correspondent,
who goes on to say: "The play on which
Olson was given rwo errors was one of the
nj thA
irst permitted to advance base on Olson's
Juggling ami Cady then scored when Olson
threw wild, making TWO mispIays. 'But
IN his account, as read above, he says:
"Cady scored when Olson jugged the
oalI." Note the difference. To my way
Of thinking, we could omit Cady and leave
third base unoccupied, and Olson would
nave got his two errors just the same be-
cause his Juggling would have permitted
the batter to reach first and the wild throw
TO second would also have taken place
sporting News says Of this play: "The
next number on the program was a COM
pound, double distilled. complex enor by
Ivan Olson, who fumbled Janvrn's ground
er long enough TO lose chance on both
Hooper at second and on Janvrin at first,
Olson threw wild when he did toss to Cut
shaw. Cady fitted in on the second bobble."
AS long as Cady is bound to be in on the
play, it would be interesting to know why
ne didn't run home while Olson was fight
ing the ball.
Now l will direct your attention to some
thing similar which happened in the seventh
inning, because think I have unearthed a
scandal and may need your assistance to
determine. Brooklyn opened thi, inning
when Whea, flied to Hooper. Shore threw
out Cutshaw. Mowrey singled. Olson
safe at first and Mowrey on second, when
Scott fumbled. Mowrey took third and
Olson second when Scott threw wild over
Hobltzel's head. Scott was given one error.
There is the same identical play, the tumble
and wild throw. Two miscues each of
which advanced and prolonged the life of
runner. The point is, why give Olson two
errors and Scott only onei 1 know the
point is nice one because l have been
having a real nice time trying to unravel it.
So now | pass it on to you.
Some day | hope thar the officials who
have charge of the Worlds series will see
ft to have the seven games played, if seven
there be, in tina, many different cities across
the continent, allowing but one game each
TO those cities which the winning team re-
present. 1t is a certainty that Chicago
would not be overlooked, in which case
those of us not stranded here might find the
wherewithal and a convenient vacation
about the time Chicago was to stage
game. Or better yet, why not play one of
the games 10 our own fxin Citiesi
When started to write this paper it was
my intention to mention by name and 20
into the records of those players who had
most firmlv established themselves in the
hearts of the fans. Naturally | thought
