DODGERS BAT WAY TO VICTORY,
BROOKLYN DEVELOPS NECES.
SARY PUNCH AT HOME.
Red SOx Give Great Battle-BOth
World Series COntenders Forced to
Use Two Pitchers i'm Third Contest.

trenched within their own grounds
the Brooklyn Nationals turned upon
the Boston Americans today and
wrested victory from the Red Sox by
a score of to in the third game
Of the worlds series.
True to their predictions, the Su-
perbas, playing at Ebbets field, prov
ed far more formidable than when
under the spell of Boston's cold dis
dain. Twice deprived of victories
after thrilling battles It Braves field,
they finally arose in their might this
afternoon and with plaudits of the
home fans ringing in their ears they
batted out a victory with savage Wig
OR, swinging their bludgeons with
such effectiveness that neither the
pitching staff nor the stonewall de-
fense 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
vaders made determined resistance,
they were forced to bow to the supe-
rior playing of the winners.
AS result of Brooklyn's triumph,
their supporters JOY and hopes reach
ed great heights and the victory was
followed by one of the most extra
ordinary celebrations ever seen upon
worlds series battle field. Hardly
had Stengel clutched Lewis lowering
fly for the final out of the game,
than thousands of rooters came troop
ing onto the diamond and outfield
where they appeared to be carried
away with the enthusiasm of con-
quest.
! Men and boys with here and there
feminine companions, capered and
danced about with JOY. while the
bands were assembling for the march
!! around the park. With 6rst notes

gan a parade that grew in imitation
of the college snake dance. while
the more sedate of the spectators
cheered and yelled. Flags and ban
ners were hurled onto the field, fol-
lowed by cane seat cushions, until
the air was filled with flying objects.
Across the field, the Royal Rooters
Of Boston, undaunted by defeat or by
the thousands of their rivals, struck
up the famous ''Tessie" song and
march and soon the park was filled
with parading battalions. After a
number of manoeuvers the adherents
Of the two clubs met in midfield and
after an Interchange Of cheers, good
naturedly bombarded each other
with cushions.
The demonstration made up in part
for the lack of thrilling features which
lifted the first two contests Of the Sc
ries out of the ranks of ordinary base
ball conflicts. There was missing in
the third game the tenseness and SEN
sational individual play which DOM
mated the clashes at Braves field.
Brooklyn jumped into the lead in
today's contest and was never headed,
although the Boston club crept up to
within a run of tying the score in rhe
closing innings. Neither was the
game marked by super excellent base
ball, but Brooklyn won and with the
hope that the team would repeat to-
morrow. that was entirely sufficient
for their supporters. In contrast
with the Boston games, that Of today
was played in cool, crisp weather and
overcoats were necessary for comfort
to the spectators in all but the sunny
left field stands.
Jack Coombs, already veteran of
two worlds series with the Philadel-
phia Athletics, came in for unstinted
praise both for his splendid twirling

later for his self abnegatien in re-
