Boston hammered both Marquard and
Cheney hard, pounding out ten hits for
fifteen bases and six runs, no less than
eleven Red Sox batsmen struck out. 1t
isn't very often that you see eleven
men whitfield upon club that is whal-
ing the eternal padding out of the ball
round after round.
The most interesting angle of the
game in many ways was a triangle-s
Brooklyn triangle composed of Meyers,
Marquard and Merkle. When the big
smear arrived in the second these three
ex-Giants found themselves facing their
fourth world series defeat. They had
lost first back in 1911, when the Mack
men swarmed all over their frames.

Their second voyage into the Port Of
Doom came in 1912, when Boston tri-

in the Giant defeat Of 1913, when the
Mackmen made it four out of five. And
here they were again, in alien harness,

with New York-the soothing solace of

before, so they must have become &C

is, "Ths is the end of perfect field

tional Game.
By BRIGGS

Charles H. Ebbets, president Of the
Brooklyn club of the National League.
admitted yesterday to a number of
newspaper men that he would retire
from the game at once if he were able
to negotiate the sale of his stock in
the Robins. now engaged with the Red
Sox in the series for the championship
of the world.
~ am as enthusiastic as a boy over
the game" declared the Squire Of Flat

terview took place prior to yesterdays
game-"as we still have an excellent
chance, in my opinion. But, win or
lose the big title, | am ready to step
down if the right sort of buyer makes a
reasonable offer"
Mr.. Ebbets declined to state publicly
what price he had set upon his stock.
He controls a majority of the club
holdings. believed to be 81 per cent.
His principal associates are the Nc
Keever brothers. Edward and Stephen.
II Ebbets sells it is believed the Nc
Keevers will withdraw with him.
Ebbets admits that he has had sew
eral offers for his stock. How close he
has come to a sale he would not init
mate. The names of a number of peo-
pie of prominence have been associated
with the prospective deal.
James +. Gaffney, former president
of the Boston National League club, is
enc Of these. Mr.. Gaffney paid his re-
spects to the Brooklyn owners yester-
cay previous to the game.

of the Braves. "but | will say that |

Brooklyn might have been excused
yesterdays disappointment under GER
tain conditions. A losing fight carried
out to the last gasp always commands
respect and reverence. A surrender,
never. Brooklyn surrendered yester-
day. 1t quit the fight. 1t struck its
colors. 1t gave up passively so soon as
Vanguard, its main hope, failed.
As Brooklyn gave up, no censure is
due the crowd for acting likewise. The
pepper and fire and mad enthusiasm
that marked the first home onslaught
died dismally in twenty thousand
throats when the truth sank home. IL
was an apathetic, respondent and in
different throng that sat out the last
half-those who did sit it out-for
before even the Stretch" inning came
many had left.
Play through the last inning or two
was conducted under ground rules. The
field bleacher contingent, the most
loyal of all the fans, were streaming
disgustedly toward the right centre
field exit.
There was a touch of pathos to this
surrender of the Dodgers. The ven
cradle Nap Rucker, king of the south
paws of his day, received his first
worlds series chance. The once won
derful left arm has lost most Of its
cunning. But the heart behind it is as
stout and true as ever. With round
house curve and slow ball that was a
last word of its art Rucker got by for
two innings where youth and strength,
unsupported by purpose, had failed.

BOSTON so far has accepted two hun
drod chances with only four errors;
Rrooklvn in 1856 chances has run up ten
errors. And beyond these figures BoS-
TON has gone out and got drives that
Brooklyn felders would never nave
reached. II
Brooklyn in this fourth game nad
two chances to raise trouble. The first
came in the opening reel, when john
ston tripled, Myers singled and Merkle
walked. Wheat then forced Myers at
second, but on Janvrins error Merkle
scored and Wheat reached third.
BROOKLYN here had two runs over with
runners on first and third, with only
one out. With Leonard Keeling and
Boston bothered, as Cutshaw started TO
steal. Wheat ambled off third and was
promptly nailed ten feet from base.
Brooklyn's last chance came in the
fourth. when Cutshaw doubled and
Mowrey walked. Olson was called
upon TO sacrifice, but, in place of ad-
vancing the two runners on where a
hit would tie the score, lifted weak
pop to Hobby. That was enough TO
convince the audience at large, and
also at heart, that Brooklyn was not
in a winning mood.
The Red Sox soaked Cheney for
four hits and two runs in this three
innings, so, after all. old Nap Rucker
was the sole Robin pitcher able to
apply the brakes.
Brooklyn left for Boston depending
now upon Sherrod Smith. Carrigan
has his choice between Shore and
Ruth. with Shore favored. II Shore
loses the Red Sox will have Ruth and
Leonard left. Admitting the oft-ex-
plotted uncertainty of our national
frenzy, you can figure for yourself
how much you would care to have
wagered on the Brooklyn club.
