The world series has now resolved it
self into this burning date-viz., will
the ultimate agony end in Boston
Thursday afternoon, or will the final
autopsy be postponed until Friday in
Brooklyn?
This is about all the prophets and
the soothsayers, the scribes and the
Pharisees have to worry about now.
For when Larry Gardner touched of
a home run under RUDE Marquard's
quivering system in the second inning
yesterday with two on base, Brooklyn's
dream Of empire started downward
after the manner Of a steel girder
tossed from the top of the Woolworth
tower
That one blow, delivered deep into
the barren lands Of centre field, broke
Marquard's heart, shattered Brooklyn's
wayering defence and practically closed
out the series.
At it was, Boston romped home TO
2. with Dutch Leonard facing Vanguard,
Cheney and Rucker in turn, as Roboy
rushed in his relief corps in vain at
tempt TO beat back the depressing
hordes. But for Brooklyn it was case
OF the Huns being at the gate and the
runs being over the plate before the
amazed Robins knew there was war.
Sox Need Only One More.
As a result of this third victory the
Carrigan machine now needs only one
n clnca the
tacle and collect the winners end.
Brooklyn can still win by taking
three straight games just as John D.
Rockefeller can make US comfortably
fixed by slipping US half his bank &C
count
Brooklyn's cave-in yesterday came at
the moment when she had reached her
height. The thud was all the more
sickening because il followed a lofty
fall. Having gotten back one game on
Tuesday, the National League cham
pions took the jump on Wednesday
with Marquard apparently in rare form
and Dutch Leonard Keeling at the can
yon's rocky edge, ready TO topple over
with a push.
In that first assault on Leonard
Brooklyn had two runs over with two
more in sight when Buck Wheat
gummed up the rally by wandering
away from third base for an easy out.
This play scrambled up the Robins's
last assault and when Hobby walked
in the second, Lewis doubled and Gard
ner interpolated a four-bagger, there
was nothing to it beyond the detail of
the closing date.
From the moment that Gardeners
long blow showed his mates out into
the lead. Brooklyn's offence and de-
fence went into mourning with crepe
pinned in clusters upon the Door of
Vanished Hope.
Carrigan Sings a Song.
As Gardner battered over the plate
back of Hobby and Lewis, Manager Bill
Csrrigan, Mother Goosing after his
quaint manner of Tuesday, hummed
softly 70 himself:
Sing song Of 60 per cent,
Pockets f1tU Of dough-;
-Four and t1centy Robins
Strung up in ro1O;
When the battle opened
/ heard their rooters sq,tuUk;
But tChGt sho1C has Robin
When 1t comes upon Hank?
This hsrassing smash of Gardner's,
who moved up with John Franklin
Baker by collecting two home runs on
two successive days, did something
more than upset Brooklyn. In add-
ton, it Immediately steadied Dutch
Leonard, who in that first round came
within one punch Of blowing the entire
works.
II would be hard TO say who steadied
Leonard the more-Wheat or Gardner
Wheat's poor base running gave the
southpaw his first breathing spell, and
Gardeners drive did the rest Before
Wheat faltered you might say that
Leonard was Dutch and behaved as
SUCH" after the manner Of the late Nr.
Csrryl. But from that one spot on
through the rest Of the game the big
left-hander held Brooklyn runless. with
only three hits TO show for the last
eight cantos. Leonard failed to yield
hit after the fifth inning, showing the
waning power Of the Robin assault.
Rube Lasts -Four Innings.
Marquard, who started with fine
show Of working stuff, lasted but four
innings. When Lewis singled and Car
rigan drove the Duffy boy home in the
fourth the Rube was cast adrift for
Larry Cheney. Larry lasted three inn
ings until Nap Rucker, after ten-year

The Marietta Marvel, who in his
prime was known as the King OF tho
