Home and Hard All One

TITS was presented WITH nit and the
bases were full.
1t was a crazy crowd which greeted
this development and the arrival OF
Smith at the plate. And when Smith
did the eminently heroic and hoisted the
ball over the high screen surrounding
the right field fence and gave Cleveland
four runs the park was transformed into
wild place of wilder gesticulation and
the last word in demonstrativeness
After the outburst had Gained. Card
ner popped to Olson, but the roars re-
sounded again when Doc Johnston beat
out hit to Kilduff. Sewell's hitting
into a double play stopped the Indian
orgy.
Brooklyn's second inning was notable
because Ed Konetchy got his first hit of
the series, three base swat which sent
the ball bouncing off the base of the
bleachers in left centre. But the hit did
no good. for Kilduff flied to Jameson.
whose fine throw doubled Konetchy at.
the plate. O'Neill was waiting for the
big Bohemian.
The Dodgers got three on the third.
but double play which came before
the last two safeties were made. killed
off the big chance and Brooklyn failed
to score
Whatever hope remained for Broolyn
was blasted into bits by the dynamite
OF Bagby's great home run in the fourth
round. Doc Johnston started the as
sault which blew Grimes off the mound.
Doc carromed a single off Grimes's
shins. went to second on a passed bail
and reached third while Sheehan was
throwing out Sewell. Grimes. remem-
bering the fateful force of the catch
er's bat in the opening game of the
series. decided to pass O'Neill and take
chance on Bagby.
This decision was not a happy one.
Striking evidence to that effect came
immediately Bagby sent the leather
flying into the huge improvised bleach
ers out in right centre and scored John
ston and ONeill ahead Of him. jamie
sons single sent Grimes out of the game.
Clarence Mitchell, left handler, then
came in and the inning closed without
further trouble. But it left 10000
hoarse voices and~l0.000 sore threats in
it's wake
These voices became hoarser still
when after Kilduff and Miller had hit in
the fifth. Wamby came through with
his great triple play.
The Cleveland battering ram contin-
ued it's hammerng tactics in the fifth
session, two hits figuring in the scoring
of it's eighth run. Sheehan's two base
wild throw on \ Speaker started the
trouble. Smiths third successive hit,
single to centre, put Speaker on third
and when Gardner birched single to
left Speaker scored. Then Mitchell
managed to settle down and for the first
time to-day Cleveland had two hitless
innings
Looks Like Smith.
Tho eightb brouobt the Indians their
twelfth hit but left the score unchanged.
1t was in the ninth that the Dodgers
made final three hit assault on Bagby
and at last got a run. Wheat organized
the little rally with single to right and
then Myers sent one to centre for base.
Konetchy drove a third hit beyond john
ston and sent Wheat home.
The defeat of Grimes took some of the
starch out of the Dodgers, but tonight
they declared that they were not in the
least discouraged.
"Bagby was mighty lucky to get off
the way he did," said Wilbert Robinson.
HE was one of the luckiest pitchers L
ever saw in any game, let alone in
world series He certainly had lot or
horse shoes. On the other hand, Grimes
got the worst OF all the breaks. 1t
surely was tough to see ball game drift
away like that But do not get the inn
preston that we are licked"
"who is going to pitch for you to-
morrow" we queried. Whereat Robbie
spared and parted. Does it look like
Sherrod Smith," we came back again.
well it may look like Smith for to-
morrow. Yes. IT. does look like smith
So that about settles 1t. Smith, who
beat the Clevelands the other day. will
pitch tomorrow, and he will be opposed
very likely by Walter Mails, another
left handler. Mails. 1t will be remem-
bered. pitched against Smith last Thurs
day after Caldwell had been forced to
retire. and the buster did pretty we'll in
deed. SO il looks like another hot bat
tie between southpaws tomorrow. And
we will confess that while Brooklyn ~
rot beaten, it's outlook is far from rosy.
The shift TO the local park has made
a different ball team out of the CleVe-
land outfit. 1t is fielding sensationally
and, what is more important. II Is hit
ting with fury and savagery and never
let's up for q minute. The team Is in
there lighting for every break. no mat
ter how far ahead it may be. The Cleve-
land crowd wants every run II can get,
and the Indians seem determined to pile
IL on as thick as they can, that Is. IL
they can.
With Cleveland in front the odds to-
night again swung against the Dodgers.
the Indians being favorites at TO 3.
but as has been the case all through the
series wagers were scarce. There was
about one hundred times as much loose
talk of betting as there was real action.
Cleveland is not so anxious to bet and
Brooklyn is not supported here by any
appreciable wads of money.
There is great interest here in the case
of Rube Marquard who will come before
o Magistrate tomorrow on the charge of
ticket scalping. Marquard said this
morning that it was all joke that he
had offered the tickets yesterday i'm fun.
IT is likely that the court will accept
Marquard's view of the matter and that
the case will be dropped.
