ON PECULIAR FACT

Shore Says Dodgers Were
Simply Outclassed.

An Interview with ChriSty Mathewson
Special Dispatch to The IntclliScncer.
BOSTON. Mass. Oct. 12-"Dn YOU
think the Red Sox outclassed Brook
lyn"? l asked Matty tonight. In con-
fidence, yes" he replied, "but be care
full what you say. You saw a young
fellow Shore in there today who evil
IDENTIFY did not like the idea of being
taken out in q worlds series game as
he was the first day, and he was
around to show them something. He
did. He allowed three hits one of them

You say Shore is young?" l asked
Matty How old is he" Twenty two
or twenty-three | should guess, but he
carries an old head. and he pitched
baseball. He was with the Giants once
when l was along with McGraw, and
we only tried him out in one game. 1t
was in Boston here and McGraw put
him In 10 work the last inning with the
score about II 10 l in favor of the
Giants. Shore couldn't yet the side
out, and NcGraw had TO yank him. He
didn't look very good then. but you
can't tell 80 much about Il twirler by
looking at him once like YOU can about
other ball players. To be- Il good pitch
er or a good anything else Il man
must have the stuff in his head and
his heart as we'll as in his arm. and
Shore showed today he carries it all.
There was another Thing about this
worlds series thai We might put in
the book. Nobody came out Of it

ly has been the case in the past. Dau-
bert didn't hit well in the first two
games, but Re did in the battle that
the Dodgers won. Olson has kicked Il
few. a couple day in fact. but it was
his hitting that was largely RESPONSE
BILE for Brooklyn's only victory. SO
that Olson would not feel lonesome,
Scott. who had not a blemish on his
record up to this afternoon. booted
couple SO We can't roust any one in
particular tonight nor can We crown
any hero.
Just a Ball Game
at was just ball game today with
the Red Sox making the going easy for
themselves and showing they are the
great ball club. The difference shown
between the two clubs in this series
has been one team, the swimmer natur-
ally accepting the hard chances. and
Brooklyn consistently bOotlng in the
pinches. The Dodgers just couldn't
accept the tough chances in the pin
ches. This was rough on the pitchers.
Olson lost a double play today when
it's completion would have nipped the
spurt of the CarriganS crowd.
What turned our 10 be Il slow game
could have been very fast If the
Brooklyn team had accepted the
chances. The brooklyn team did not
fight hard enough for the las two
games. There was not the pep and the
punch in the efforts of the Dodgers.
Of course the sun and wind today
made several chances tough, but they
didn't make them tough for the Red
Sox. That is a great ball club. Pfeffer
was not hit hard. and he could have
pulled out if he hadn't been backed
up by sieve with large meshes.

That's why we were looking at the ball
