BOSTON, October 10.-Both the games
that the Red Sox have won have been
lost by Brooklyn because it's fielding
has not been of the class of that Of the
Carriean forces The first game of the
series last Saturday would have been
won easily enough by the Dodgers but
for their poor defense. Olson and CUT
shaw were the offenders that day, oue
yesterday Cutshaw turned the Trick
single-handed. giving the Red Sox the
tying run in the third when he fumbled
Ruth's easy grounder. The misplay al
lowed Scott to score from third and hao

the score and in the fourteenth inning
Smith walked Hoblitzell to start. Lewis
sacrificed him to second and then Car

baseman, who is not any too fast. rms

Gamers hit the game would have been
called at the end of the fourteenth
inning, for it was rapidly growing
dark and the umpires found it hard to

~ III. s.r,es of 1919 the Red Sox
and the Giants played a twelve-inning
game to 6-to-6 tie. That was rec
-ord for the world series. but this was
beaten yesterday when the game went
fourteen innings. Lewis. who sacri-
feed Hoblitzel to second, from Where
McNally scored. was the only man re-
tired in Boston's half Of the finai round
The superior fielding of the Red sox
has shown in the two games played.
This fact eventually should give the
CarriEan team to victory. Scott JanVrin
and Gardner have played ns renlarikaDie !. ne
ball in both games, and there Is no
reason why they should not continue
to do so.
sherrod Smith. who halls from Rome.
Ga. and pitched for Jersey City last
season, deserved to win his game yes
terday Had he had the Red Sox be-
hind him instead of the Dodgers ne
would have won in nine innings, 1or
the first inning Of the game after two
were out. would have been enough to
defeat the Carrigans had Cutshaw not
fumbled Ruth's grounder in the third
lining.
Smith pitched a well balanced game
of ball. got himself out of numerous
tight places and held the Sox scoreless
for ten consecutive innings--quite a
more hits than did Ruth. each being hit
safely six times. but suffered by errors.
while Ruth had perfect support.
Myers home-run drive was the only
hit the centerfelder got during the
would have made Myers the hero of a
Brooklyn victory. 1t was a terrific
drive. which both Hooper and Walker
chased. and neither could reach in time
to get the ball to the inheld and halt
Myers from making the circuit.
There was again no fault to find with
the umpiring. Dineen did not have
he called. and while Brooklyn protest
ed once on decision at first by Quig-
l&y. 1t was accepted that the umpire
was correct
O'Day viii be behind the plate and Con-
molly on the bases. Quigley will UNI
pire the Wednesday game and Dineen
win be on the bases.
Larry Gardner played a remarkable
Rame Of ball at third base yesterday.
He handled himself mighty well In the
Arst game Saturday. but he had nothing
but difficult chances yesterday. He
covered much ground and gave a per-
feet exhibition in the field. his throw
ing being exceptionally accurate,
though he made a wild heave. which
gave Mowrey a life. in the thirteenth
inning. This cost nothing, though, for
Lewis pulled down Smiths drive to
left center: the outfelder grabbed the
ball of his ankles while on a dead run
When that ball left the bat 1t looked
for all the world like a hit and Now
rey seemed destined to score: but Just
as the crowd was ready to let out a
warhoop up popped Lewis with for
ward lunge and caught the ball.
Myers robbed Hooper of what seemed
to be a clean hit in center in the sixth
inning. The ball seemed to be going
