IT'S BOSTON AGAIN
Red SOX Take Four Out of Five
From the Dodgers.
Ernie Shore Pitches Great Ball
Cinching Title for Beanville.

Boston Mass, Oct. 13.-Betore
the greatest crowd that ever wit
messed a professional ball game, the
Boston Red SoX annexed their fourth
worlds championship Thursday;
A vast throng. numbering 42'62o wiz
eyed fans, saw the Sox down the
Brooklyn Dodgers, to l in the fifth
game of the 1916 title tussle-
1t registered the Sox fourth VIC
tory. and clinched the title for them.
To Ernie Shore, elongated righthand-
er of the Sox, went the ho1ors OF
slowing away the championship. He
is the only pitcher to be credited with
two victories in the series.
Notable Series.
The title clash, in addition to fur
nishing the longest worlds champion
ship game on record in the fourteen
inning tussle here Monday, was also
one of the richest in history. The re-
ceipts for Thursdays game alone were
$S3.s73 and the total receipts for the
five games were $685., $1,000. OF this
amount each club received $50, 052-O2
as its share. The national commission
reaped a total of 3S,559.05. The play
ers' share was S162, 927.45. Sixty per
cent of this goes to Boston and 40 per
cent to Brooklyn, to be divided among
the players eligible for the series in
such manner as the players themselves
see fit
Thursdays ball game didn't measure
ordinary. and in some places it was
weird. The great crowd really did
not turn itself loose until the game
was over. Thousands then flooded
down on the diamond in the wake of
a band which loudly played ''Tessie,"
and after marching around the field,
massed in front of the players bench
to shout itself out
The Park Packed
Every available inch of ground in
TfA1I rod
Even in the runways leading to the
bleachers hundreds stood. There was
not a vacant seat in the immense
grandstand. in the paviliOnS or bleach
ers Under the bright sun a chill that
was in the air passed somewhat during
the afternoon but overcoats were in
order.
To win his game, Shore turned in
one of the best games he has pitched
this year. The total of the Dodger
hits was only three, and one of these
was an infield single, that perfectly
played. would have been putout. 1t
was credited to Chief Meyers, as one
of the best plays in the baseball.
Larry Gardner, slugger of the Sc
ries. got his hand into the making of
the first Red Sox run. After Lewis
had tripled in the second Gardner
lifted a fly to Wheat and Lewis
scored after the catch. Olson, who
has been cursed all thru the series
ments, did some of his booting in the
third and was mainly responsible for
two more runs. Cady had singled
and taken second when Hooper was
passed. Janvrin hit to Olson, who
after juggling the ball and allowing
Hooper to reach second, threw past
Cutshaw into centerfeId and Hooper
counted. Cady reached third. 1t was
scored as two errors against Olson
When Shorten singled, Hooper
scored.
The Final Run.
The final Boston run was the result
of a single by Hooper and a double
by JanVrin in the fifth. The only
Dodger run came in the second and
not a hit helped it across. Cutsha0
started with a walk, went to second
on Mowreys sacrifice. took third or
Olson's out and scored when Cady al
lowed one of Shores shoots to pass
him.
Pfeffer's pitching was not bad II
was good enough to win an avera &c
game but the Dodgers miscues were
too much for him to overcome. Ever
EFT Scott, the youthful Boston short
stop. made his only two errors of the
series in this final game Each Of
them allowed a. man to reach first but
resulted in no further damage.
Sparkling Catches.
Wheat and Lewis. the rival left
