came close to it in yesterdays

BENTON AND DAVEY
RECEIVE PRAISES
FROM THEIR BOSS
By JOHN J. MeGRAw,


NEW YORK. Oct live are still
very much in the series!
have a good ball team. and our
poor game in Chicago Sunday did not
cause me to lose faith in my players.
They came back on their own grounds
and before q friendly crowd, as 1 pre-
dicted they would.
My confidence in Rube Benton was
not misplaced. 1 said he was my ACE
in the hole" and he came across with
a splendidly pitched game. His con-
troll was perfect, and he was in trou-
BILE several times, but he always pull
ed through without damage.
AS said in a previous article,
would have pitched him in the first
game had he not been out of form
in the last game he pitched in the
National League race.
Benton was at his best yesterday.
He used good judgment in his deliv-
cry to the White Sox batters. showing
that he has been a close student OF
the games played in Chicago.
Rube came up to my expectations
in everything but hitting, for he can
wallop the ball In the pinches. He
did punch out q fly that would have
been a sacrif1ce under ordinary condi-
tions, but there was a mix-up OF signs
for the second, between Holke, who
was on third base, and Lobert, who
was coaching there at the time.
The Washington times., 1917-10-11

There were two out when Felsch
caught Benton's fly and, considering
the stage Of the game, Holke might
succeeded in beating out Felsch's
throw had he taken the chance But
he was not coached home. Fortunate
ly we did not need the run.
1 cannot give Dave Robertson too
much praise for his splendid hitting,
fielding, and base running yesterday.
and in the series So far. I see now
that Dave must have some incentive
to be at his best
He surely has arisen to the impor-
tance of this series and has come to
the front with a burst OF grand play
ing that stamps him as the Ty Cobb
OF the National League. All he lacks
is confidence 81 his great natural
ability. He surely was one OF the big
heroes of yesterdays game, and has
been remarkably good in his all
around playing throughout the series.
But for Benton's pitching and Rob-
ertson's hitting we would now be
completely routed.
McGraw Has Praise For HoIke,
Then there is Walter Holke, who
went along through the season in his
quiet, easy-going way, always re-
liable, but hardly holding his head up
as high as Iwould like. Now / see
something of Importance is required
10 arouse him to his best form.
Bill Rariden, that good old stand
by, came through, as we thought he
would. Bill does not say much, but
he performs 4 whole lot He is al
ways there in the emergencies. He
had many confronting him yesterday
and he made good in every instance.
Another OF my old reliables pushed
himself into prominence, and that was
Heinis Zimmerman. His fielding yes
terday was up to the standard that
made him the star third baseman of
the country, and-weIl. just watch
that Bronx boy during the rest OF the
series. He will show and show big.
Benny kaufI Hits Ball Hard.
Benny Kauff hit the bail hard, but
lifted" II; still he got on base twice,
and whenever a player does that he
makes himself a valuable asset to his
team. Benny is due with his bat, and
l look for him to come through big in
the remaining games. Then there is
and Fletcher, who have not
shown what they are capable of-but
they will, never fear.
