Dodgers went down to glorious defeat
yesterday before the doughty Red Sox
in the opening game of the world 5 Sc.
ries in what probably will be remem.
Iered as one of the most remarkable
games ever staged in a world $ contest
When the ninth inning opened il
locked as if the game had been placed
safely on ice, as far as the Red Sox
was concerned. Thousands of the
more than $4,000 spectators left the
field convinced that the home team had
the scalps Of the Dodgers dangling
from their belts. This assumption
proved correct. but that is not the
only reason why they left. The Brook.

Shore Weakens In Ninth
The score then stood six to one in
favor of the BostOns. The work OF
the home team had been like well.
oiled machine. Shore had stood like a
rock. He seemed invincible. But
with the ninth his power began to
wane and in almost twnkling Of an
eye the visitors had rolled IN four
scores. Two men were out and the
bases were filed.
y, BY this. time Shore had been relieved
and Mays had taken bis place on the
mount. Rig Jake Daubert, who had
already failed three times against
Shore, walked to the rubber slab

fans sat in gloomy silence, II seemed
for the moment that the steady work
Of the home team would all count for
nothing
Mays Saves the Day
But young Mays steadied himself in
the face of the impending danger and
put everything he had in the ball. One
little hit meant a tied score and DOS
sibly defeat. To many IL appeared
that tn" entire world was watching the
issue of that ball. After a look over
the bases Mays hurled the leather
sphere towards the plnte with all the
force in his being. 1t went straight
over the plate and Dnubert swung at it
with all his might There was a re.
sounding whack and the ball went
bounding down toward shortstop. Scott

The game was over. The score re

the first of the series. 1t took several
seconds before the vast crowd realized
what had happened. Then they broke
out into wild and prolonged cheers.
