The Lineup.


Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct. IL
Manager Carrigan's Boston Red Hose
reversed the tables on the battling
Brooklyn Dodgers again today, taking
the fourth game of the series for the
worlds diamond title and advancing
TO within one game of final triumph.
The score was to 2.
The Dodgers got away at rip
snorting pace in the first inning and
opened the scoreboard with two runs.
Johnston hit the first ball pitched to
him for three bases and scored on
Myers's drive thru Janvrin. Myers
scored a few seconds later when jan
vrin fumbled Cutshaw's grounder.
Leonard was not going good and the
Dodgers had the bases full, but two
runs were all they could accumulate.
The Sox appeared to be merely
aroused by the sting of their oppon-
enUs' squirt, and in the first of the sec
ond they stepped TO the lead when,
with Hoblitzel and Lewis on the
paths, Larry Gardner poled a 4-ply
clout to center field, thereby making
himself the hero of the day. Mar
guard appeared to be having trouble
with his control in the second frame.
In the first of the fourth the Sox
added another when Lewis singled,
went to second on a sacrifice and
counted on Carrigan's base blow to
center.
Marquard Relieved.
In the fourth inning Marquard was
sent to the bath house, Pfeffer bat
ting for him and Cheney taking the
mound at the beginning of the fifth
round. Cheney was given a round of
applause when he went to the firing
line, but with his spit ball not working
its best. he walked Hooper and the
latter scored on HoblitzeTs double to
left.
The Sox made it to in the first
of the seventh when Janvrin scored on
Cheney's wild throw to first of Hoblit-
zeIs grounder. Cheney passed out of
the equasion in the last of the seventh
when O'Mara batted for him Rucker
took up Brooklyn's mound burden in
the first of the eighth.
The games now stand:
Boston has won 8.
Brooklyn has won l.
Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct IL
Spurred on by Tuesdays victory, the
Brooklyn Nationals resumed their
counter charge against the Boston
Americans today in the fourth game
of the world series in an attempt to
break down the lead that the cham
pion American leaguers now hold by
one game.
Our boys are batting at last" said
Manager Wilbert Robinson of the
Brooklyns. this afternoon just before a
war council with his men. 1--WE are
batting team. We have looked over
all the Red SoX pitchers except Leon
ard and we know now what to expect.
I'll agree Boston has some fine hurlers,
but my men feel that they can beat
them"
The Bostons regard Tuesdays de-
1eat as nothing more than what might
be expected to happen somewhere
along the course of a seven game
series
SOX Best in Pinch.
The Red Sox play best In a pinch, "
remarked Jack Barry, the disabled
second baseman of the Boston team,
we have the edge and will hold if.
Every one knows what the club has
done when it faced a critical series or
a single game"
Brooklyn did not mind the cold
weather today. Elated by Tuesday,
defeat of the Red Sox. the enthusia st;c
crowd that came early to the field
would have felt comfortable on an
iceberg.
The Brooklyns took about an hours
batting practice before the game
using three pitchers, Appleton and
Dell, right-handers and the south
nav, Mails Pitchers Cheney, Pfeffer
