BASEBALL
SUPERBAS OVERCOME STAGE
FRIGHT TO WIN.
Play Unbeatable Ball in First Series
Triumph.

Brooklyn, Oct. 1O.-Bil Carrlgan
tried a dangerous experiment this al
ternoon and that cost his Red Sox the
third game of the wolrd series. Bill
sent Mays to the mound in the hope
that his subway delivery would baf-
file the Dodgers, and the B~rooklynites
promptly maced it for four runs and
seven hits, which gave them the battle
by a count of 4 to 8.
Living up to their "never say die"
reputation, the red-hosed warriors
from Boston tried garhely and des-
perately to overcome the handicap,
but they fell one run short. It was a
ball game featured by plenty Of clean
hitting and devoid Of any really glar-
ing errcrs; a contest that was won by
the Dodgers because they outbatted
their rivals and outplayed them.
And now the series count is Red
Sox 2, Dodgers l, with the Dodgers
thoroughly recovered from their ini-
| tial nervousness, with the clansmen Of
C. Hercules Ebbetts back on earth
again and playing the kind of base
bail that lifted them to the crest of
the National League. It looked like
the Red Sox to win in four out of
five at the most after that first mis-
cradle exhibition in Boston, with the
| qualification, IF the Dodgers don't
get hold of themselves immediately"
But they have mare that clutch,
those Dodgers; they r playing now
like world series veterans. They have
| come to realize that a titular combat
is not one whit different than any 9TH
err, and they are playing it that way.
Best of all, from the Brooklyn view
point, is the fact that Jacobus Dau-
bert, premier swatsman of the outfit,
recovered his batting vision this af-
I, ternoon, which augurs well for the
Dodgers in future games.
But the defeat must not reflect upon
the Sox. They have not lost their
wallop, their fighting spirit or their
superb ability. They went down to
defeat BECAUSE their leader put in q
pitcher who began to wobble immedi-
ately, and who, for some strange rea-
son, was permitted to remain long
after it was to be seer that the bod
O., us had him measured for a severe
wa looping.
If Sny one individual was at fault
in the .sox squad it was Carrigan for
allowing Mays to linger-and still
linger.
Ivan Olsen, shortstopping party for
the home gang, was the real hero
Of the day, from the Brooklyn view
point and all Others. By his brilliant
work on the defense he stopped sew
eral assaults Of the red hose gentry,
and with his war club he hammered
his associates through to victory. 1t
was Olson who cinched the game in
the fifth inning with a tremendous
three-base hit to left, which scored
two runs-the brace that enabled the
Dodgers to win. Minus that one clout
of Olson's, a different story would be
chanted tonight in baseballdom-a
story that would tell of three straight
triumphs for the Sox.
The Dodgers annexed their first tai
ly in the third, when Daubert singled.
Stengel followed with a short single
and Cutshaw delivered a blow down
the right field foul line, which was
hefty enough to permit Jacobus to
slip across the plate. The second
Dodger score was made in the fourth.
Olson started off with a bunt single
and promptly was sacrificed to Sec
ond by Miller. Then came Jack
Coombs with a single to right center
that scored Olson.
When the Red Sox came to the bat
in the sixth they were confronted with
q 4 to y score Undaunted, they bat
{ ed on and they gave the Dodger

the inal out was made.
