NEW YORK, Oct. 10 Special TO lie
Peti. Jou. n, aris).-D.recteur Nc
Graw aujourd'hui gamb,td ct won. II
took un chance on Fermier Benton, who
IS either tres bon or tres awful. lie
fermier was certainly there ayec SON
nettes on this temps, ct les Bias Blanes
didn't have a show in the monde. Je
sat right behind le plate and could
voir exactly what ". Benton was pitch
ing.
Son fast ball jumped like IN grass
hopper, his courbe broke un kilometre
ct il used an occasional lent ball ayec
terrific effect. AussI il had coatrole
grandiose. No club in any league could
of beat VI. Benton to-day, parce que
no club could Of scored off'n lui.
Dams reau Claude
Opposed 70 le fermier was VI. Ed
Guard Cicotte, Ct he was no slouche
Mais il was in peau chaude much Of
the temps, and got out Of it more
through bon teamwork than quoique
ce soft else. In the quart inning only
did les Geants get 20 lui consecutively
assez to score, mails the deux runs they
got in that round were un plus than a
plenty, the chemin VI. Benton was
going.
Eddie evidently left son shine ball
on le banc when il went out TO pitch
that quart Anyway, ". Dave Robert
son greeted hin. avec un triple vicieux
over Jackson's haricot. Herr Holke
Immediately scored lui avec IN double
to gauche N. Jacques Collins got
nearly but not quite close enough 70
this ball 10 hottie IT, ". Jacques was
in un batting mood all aprcs-midi.
Avec un run in, nobody hors et IN
homme on deuXieme. II. Rariden
naturellement sacrificed. VI. Cicotte
alors famed VI. Benton. not beaucoup
of une ruse, mais u. Georges Burns,
who had been made 70 ressembler un
poisson son first deuX temps up,
scratched IN puny petit single toward
trolsieme ct brought IN lie superfuous
run.
In les other pnches, " Edousrd
pitched tres splendidly. Some OF them
were not of son making. NJ Jacques
Collins. in the premier. strolled over
into concentrer champs, sat SOUS un fly
ball that belonged 20 Herr Felsch, et
muifed it tout-a-fait. In the troisieme
il mutfed un autre, mais this temps II
done il in his own ctat.
Herr Benny kauff was le beneficiary
on both occasions, e. there was d rumor
among les Deans that VI. Jacques et
Herr Benny were beauX-freres or some
thing, also a rumor that u. jacques
was pro-German. In lie eighth, VI.
Jacques caught 4 Ay from ". Fletcher
et spoiled un perfec. day.
NJ Cicot,e struck hors huit Geants,
un per inning II aussi allowed huit
hits. Les SoX were held 70 einq hits,
no deuX OF which came IN Ia meme
inning.
Henri Gowdy Actlf
Avant le jeu, ". Henri Gowdy, who
is going 20 la guerrc, was presented
ayec une wrist watch that must OF cost
vingt francs. Aussi. IN cane was pre-
scnted TO Herr kauf because il was le
only New Yorker who didn't have un.
Nobody made un speech. mais lots OF
hommes looked like as il they wanted
70. Je was not presented ayec any
thing.
Les penaises were surprised 10 voir
Directeur McGraw start VI. Benton,
mais les SoX were not. They knew II
would choose un gauche-nander be-
cause its become une hab.tUde ayec
lui.
lie feature Of le jeu was the fact that
Herr Zimmerman got IN base hit. II
didn't intend 70, either. II tried son
best 20 get out as per custom, pitcher
20 first, mails u got .e ball slightly 10
". Cicotte's Cauche e. il bounded
badly. so il beat it out Son regular
big series habit is 20 hit what u. Dean
Dryden calls hump-backed liners 70 the
pitcher. VI. Dryden est tres droll.
Parmi those present were deuX we'll
known Cub maggots. ". &. Neeghmau
ct u. Albert Las<er. lie latter brought
me back from le park in somebody
else's Rolls-Royce. IL wanted 20 know
my opinion du guerre et ie told him.
Les memes teams will play to-mor-
row. ct il is said that ". Walsh will
pitch against II. Joe McGinnity. Sox
et Geants et Deans et o. Henrys will
pack up right after lie ieu et beat IL
vers Chicago, OIL un jeu is scheduled
pour Samedi.
