The Washington herald., 1916-10-13

what happened on the field, or what
might happen out there. but OF the finan-
cial phase Of the matter. They were COM
planning that something was being held
out on them somewhere.
The size of the worlds series pot"
now seems to be the chief consideration.
where once the championship battles were
purely sporting events.
Right here may not be the place to
speak of these matters, but this Is the
talk that is being heard in the baseball
world tonight.
The losers of the 1916 series get more
money than was ever before received by
the losers in the world series game.
The enthusiasm after the game today
did not last very long, nor was 1t par
ticularly vociferous.
Cutshaw Scores.
Shore passed George Cutshaw on four
pitched balls in the second. MowTey
sacrificed. Hoblitzell to Shore, and Cut
shaw took third on Olson's out. Then
with Myers up, Forest Cady. who was
catching Shore, sustained a passed ball.
A pitch hit Cady on the thumb of his
glove, and the ball bounded back to the
stand, Cutshaw scoring. Scott tossed out
Myers
The Sox tied 1t up in the second after
Hoblitzel had been tossed out by Pfeffer.
Duffy Lewis then smashed a long drive
to left-a dropping fly, which Wheat play
ed very poorly, else he might have held
it to a single He rushed up on the ball,
and 1t hit the ground and bounced away
from him for a three bagger.
Wheat made a hard run and a good
catch on Gardner's fly, but Lewis scored
with the tying tally right after the
Dodger felder's hands closed on the ball.
Wheat tried a throw to the plate but
it was wide. Chief Meyers was not
playing up on the base line for that
throw any too well, although 1t was pat
ent that 1t was flying wide.
Mowrey Drops Foul.
Mowrey dropped scott's foul back Of
third that same inning and drew an er-
ror, but Scott then popped to Meyers.
The blow-on came as soon as the Sox
side Of the third opened. Cady hit a
hot liner at Daubert and Capt. Jake just
managed to knock the ball down as IT
was about to clear his head. 1t was a
single.
Shore popped up to Chief Meyers while
trying to bunt Cady along and Harry
Hooper. probably the greatest all-around
ball player IN a money series that the
game has ever produced. drew a base on
balls. Pfefrer could not put over a sin
gle strike on him.
Harry Janvrin then hit a roller to
Olson. Ivan picked up the ball but Jug
gled it an instant after he got 1t in his
hands.
Cady went to third on that particular
misplay. Then Ivan tossed the ball at
Cutshaw. who had leaped over to sec
ond to make a play on Hooper, but the
toss was hurried and wild.
The ball rolled away from cutshaw, and
Hooper went on to third while Cady
scored.
Olson Gets Two Errors.
Janvrin was safe at first Olson had
the start of an easy double play right in
front of him and the official scorers cred
tied him with two errors on the one Incl
dent. This scoring is perhaps justified by
the rules, but not all the people in the
press stand agreed with the officials on
the point.
Janvrin tried to steal second and was
out, Chief Meyers to Cutshaw. Chick
Shorten singled over second, scoring
Hooper, and then Shorten was tossed out
by Meyers on an attempted steal.
In the fifth, with two out, Hooper sin
gled and scored when Hi Myers staggered
under Janvrin's fly after a long run and
fell down, losing the ball. It went for
two bases Janvrin took third on a wild
pitch, but Shorten famed.
Wheezer Dell was pitching for the
Dodgers at the finish. PfefTer did good
work, but he was overshadowed by the
lanky Southerner who was his opponent
