as they promised and IL their playing to-
| day forecasts what they are going to do
J IN the future II should inspire hope in

though the series count now is two to
nothlng against them.
The DOdger chieftain caused a surprise
when he sent Smith, his southpaw, to the
| firing line, and wise choice it was, be-
cause Smith pitched one Of the prettiest
games ever seen in the blue ribbon events
| OF baseball.
Babe" Ruth worked for the Sox and
hurled just as was expected Of him-a
masterful game. rising TO the greatest
heights in the pinches.
HI Myers was the bright shining star
| for the Dodgers. He scored their only
run Of the game in the first with a ter
| rthc home-pun smash to center. In the
| field he was somewhat OF a nemesis, for
] the Red SoK batters. In the fifth he
made circus catch OF HOoper's liner
back OF second. In the ninth his great
catch and more remarkable throw killed
Janvrin at the plate with what would
have been the winning tally.

! lifting plays which featured the after
noon.
Luck. strange as IT may seem, didn't
figure conspicUously in the game today.
Merit alone counted. Not one OF the er-
rors counted in the run-making.
The game established a record for
modern world series by going fourteen
innings But practically every one Of
those sessions produced some startling
plays; brought the crowds to its feet

In fourteen innings OF baseball they
played today-and II was baseball
