an indication that the National
Leaguers were outclassed and doomed
to certain defeat. Nevertheless it was
realized that today's battle might
virtually decide the series, as another
setback would force the Robins to the
wall. 1t was likely to be either the
turning point of the series or a con-
tinuation of the Red Sox march to
victory and with no decided super
iority in run-making power demon
strated by the American Leaguers,
the supporters of the Tener champions
were not inclined to eoncede any
thing.
On the other hand, the Red Sox
rooters came primed for the continu-
ance of their favorites triumphal
progress, confident in the superiority
of the Boston machine, supremely re-
liant that "elass would tell" One
game, at most, for the Robins was all
that the great majority of them
would concede. With their starter,
likely to be Leonard, another left
handler who when in shape is one of
the hardest twirlers to hit, few
could see much chance of anything
but a third victory with another fol-
lowing with Shore or Mays on the
morrow.

New York, Oct. 10.-With the bat
tie for the premier honors of baseball
transferred from Boston to Brooklyn
today, the baseball enthusiasts Of
Greater New York flocked by the
thousands to Ebbets field to view the
worlds series from new angle.
Brooklyn has sent many a strong
delegation to the Polo grounds IN
Harlem, home of the Giants, to witt
ness post-season struggles in former
eyars, but today saw a reversal OF
the process with the tide of travel
turned towards Flatbush.
In contrast with the warm haziness
of the past few dasy the morning
broke cool and breezy with the prom
Use of a day more suited to work on
the gridiron than on the diamond.
The ticket holders for the games to
be played on the Flatbush diamond
there were more than 10000 of them
before the rush to the grounds start
ed-were not ver-impatient to get to
the playing field and the Brooklyn
traction lines were easily able to take
care of their forenoon patrons.
The thousands who had not beer
forehanded, however, together with
| other thousands who counted on win
ming out in the struggle for places in
the unreserved section, provided a
steady flow of traffic roundwards
Long before game time there was
every indication that the stadium
at the call of play, would be filled
to the limit of its $4,000 capacity,
The playing field itself had been
smoothed down. Gaily decorated with
an abundance of bunting, it was
thanked on three sides by the accom-
modations for the spectators, add
having been provided in stands
tional seats, to the number of 1000
stretching along the left field fence.
/ The struggle of today, coming after
the two desperate encounters cir
Boston which left the Brooklyns with
out a victory and gave the Red So,
/ a commanding lead in the battle fol
the title, promised to be perhaps tht
crucial" game.
i On familiar ground after the los
of two heart-breaking struggles OF
alien soil, the Dodgers figured in th'
calculations of ardent Brooklynites a
likely to gather sufficient inspiration

practice Pennock worked on the

came when 500 Boston Royal Root

There was plenty of snap in the
fielding practice, notwithstanding the
cold. Both Daubert and Merkle work
ed out at first base. and it looked as
though Robinson intended to use Mer-
kle in case Clutch" Leonard was
named as the Red Sox twriler.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct. 10
To turn the tide that has been carry
ing them away from the baseball
championship, the Brooklyn Nation
ais, staggering from two defeats at
the hands of the Boston Americans,
made back-to-the-wall fight today
in their first contest on the home
field. A defeat for Brooklyn today
would leave their championship hopes
hanging by hair. But the Brooklyns
won, in a score of to 8.
"We have our work cut out for us, .
remarked Jack COMBS, the Brook
lyn pitcher, "but we expected to meet
the situation. Our work will improve
on the home grounds where we have
played our best ball. will agree that
our club does not show to it's best
advantage on foreign fields. | hope
Robinson uses me today"
Bill Carrigan, Boston's manager,
whose fourteen inning strategy
brought victory IN the game yester-
day, was a sphinx on his pitching
selection today. It was recalled that
dutch" Leonard showed remarkable
form in his spring games when the
weather was cold and many believed
that the left handler would be IN
there today showing his curves and
speed.
Brooklyn saw its first worlds series
game in its own borough today. Hun
dreds came out early to the park
and sat for hours shivering in the
Arctic wind that swept the playing
field. Scores of spectators were
muffled in sweaters and newspapers
The sun shone clear and bright, but
it was poor day for a ball game
