New York, Oct. 10 - Firmly
entrenched within their own
grounds, the Brooklyn Nationals
turned upon the Boston Ameri-
cans today and wrested victory
from the Red Sox by a score of
d to 8 in the third game of the
worlds series.
True to their predictions, the Super
has. playing at Ebbets field. proved far
more formidable than when the spell
of Boston's cold disdain. Twice de-
prved of victory after thrilling battles
at Braves field, they finally rose in
their might this afternoon and with
the plaudits of the home fans ringing
in their ears they batted out victory
with savage vigor, swinging their
bludgeons with such effectiveness that
neither the pitching staff nor the stone
wall defense of the Red Sox could hold
them in check. Hits rang off their
} bats with the snap and deadliness of
exploding shrapnel, and while the in
yaders made a determined resistance,
they were forced to bow to the supe-
rior playing of the winners.
AS a result of Brooklyn's triumph
their supporters JOY and hopes reach
ed great heights and the victory was
followed by one of the most extraordi-
nary celebrations seen upon Worlds
Series battle field. Hardly had Steneel
clutched Lewis towering fly for the
final out of the game than thousands
of rooters came pouring onto the dla-
mond and outfields where they appear
ed to be carried away with the en- ,hu-
siasm of conquest.
Men and boys with here and 'ncre
feminine companion capered and
danced about with JOY while the bands
were gathering for the march around
the park. With the first notes OF march
music the fans formed in long lines
and once underway began parade
that gathered in enthusiasm ard f':!n-
bers as it progressed. 1t wound In ard

spectators cneered and Yelled. 80.
Flags and banners were hurled INTO

cushions until the air was filled with
flying objects. Across the field the Pc,

struck up the famous "TeSsie song
and march and soon the park was fiji"
with parading hattalions, After num-
Der of maneuvers the adherents of the
two clubs met in mid field and. follow

The demonstration made up in par
for the lack of the thrilling features
which lifted the first two contests out
of the rank of ordinary baseball CON
ficts There was missing in the third
game the tenseness and sensational in
divdual play which dominated the pre-
ceding clashes at Braves field. Brook
lyn jumped into the lead early in tn"
contest and was never headed. although
the Boston Club crept up to within a
run of tying the score in the closing
innings Neither was the game mark

BROOKLYN won and with the hope that
the team would repeat tomorrow, that
was entirely enough for their support
ers. In contrast with the Boston games, !

for comfort to the spectators in all but
in the sunny field stands.
Praise for Coombs
Jack Coombs, already a veteran OF
the Wolds Series with the Philadelphia I
Americans, came in for unstinted praise j
both for his splendid twirling in the
carly innings of the game and later /
for his self-abnegation in requesting to |
he relieved when he felt himself slip |
ping and realized to remain in the box
would endanger defeat for his team
mates
Until the seventh inning Coombs held |
the Red Sox to six hits and two runs !
out when Larry Gardner lifted the ball |
over the right field wall for home run
