Former Mackman Best Bet in Big

pitched game, which may happen in the
best pitching families at any time, ana

and Leonard come through at top
speed?
If Boston can suppress Brooklyn
with one of her pitchers IN highly
rickety mood, how is Brooklyn gong TO
achieve any net result with Boston
pitcher at his normal effectiveness
This is the spicy rebuttal that Boston
fans offer, and it is hard one to meet.
There is also this segment OF the dope
that is not to be overiv oked. The led
Sox have had the habit, built up
through many campaigns, OF rising to
meet the festive or feverish occasion.
Their break on Saturday was not team
break, but a slip confined to one ath-
lete. meaning Colonel Shore, the Tar
Heel terror.
Take up the two vital spots in Sat
urday's game, the fourth and ninth
innings. In the fourth canto Buck
Wheat drove home the tieing run with
a triple. nobody being out. II Wheat
scored Brooklyn moved out ahead, re-
plete with Pep and Confidence and a
far harder club to crush. Cutshaw's
fly to right would have scored the
Brooklyn slugger nineteen times out Of
twenty. Only the finest sort of play
would dismantlc the rally.
To turn the trick Hooper first had
to make a remarkable catch, jumping
for the ball, and then he had to follow
this by first recovering his balance and
pegging perfectly to the plate. Yet at
TIE main moment the Red Sox star

Coombs not only carries most OF the
ammunition of former campaigns, but
with Brooklyn's uncertain and erratic
defensive play, he looks 10 be the best
bet Just at this stage. Jack knows the
highway by long travelling and many
journeys and all the errors in the game
will not be enough to shatter his nerve
or break his spirit. And nothing but
great pitching will ever stop Babe Ruth
in this second carnival, for the Babe is
loaded to the gunwale with the stuff
that very few can hit. All through
Saturday night and Sunday the grand
old dope was on parade up and down
the fan avenues of Boston, with Sat-
urday's battle forming the foundation
for most of the peppery chit-chat
tossed back and forth.
There were those who saw in the Red
Sox ninth inning smear anew Brooklyn
hope and greater confidence Tor the
games 70 come. These believe that
Shores big cave-in will convince the
Robins that Boston's pitching staff is
far from invincible, and that if Shore
can weaken, so can Leonard and Ruth.
Shores work was certainly far below
the standard he set against Philadel-
phia last fall. and this break was taken
as an outside tip that the great
staff may not be as great as it has
been outlined TO be.
But there is still another angle
Boston's main strength was supposed
10 rest with unbeatable pitching. Bos-
ton was supposed to have the edge
mainly through the known proves OF
her moundsmen. Now, the argument
turns, If Boston can draw a poorly

The batting Of Meyers, Stengel and

The same situation arose in the ninth.
With the bases full and Daubert up,
with the tieing run on third, any slip
meant disaster. Daubert's rap was Just
beyond Gardner's reach-a base hit for
a left-hander nine times out CT ten.
The one play that would save the game
needed a spectacular setting, but az the
vital second young Scott came bound
ing through without slip.
Not only in her world series cam
paigns but in her pennant races against
White Sox and Tigers this Bosto- out
IL has built up the knack Of meeting
each turn with some brilliant effort
that cracked the opposing attack;
not only in these vital spectacular
moments. but in the average drive Of
the game. There is no questioning the
stanchness of Boston's defence. She
has no hard-hitting array, but she mas
an inheld and an outfeld that can be
relied upon 70 stand up unGer the
charge. And this is where Brooklyn
must improve to have even the gray
ghost Of a chance.
Brooklyn's punch will compare with
Bostons. but Brooklyn's defence Is an
other affair. The four misplays that
Brooklyn made on Saturday cost ex-
the infeld and one by the outfcld and
they all came when the pressure was at
its height.
A ball club can win a world series
through fine pitching and good field
ing without any powerful attack, but
no club vet has ever won a ieries with
Keeling, rickety defence. IL Brook
