Worlds Series IN 1919.
There were several strange faces
among thls band of Reds. In fact the
entire infeld of Pat Moran was of a
new vintage, with the sole exception
Of Jake Daubert at first; and, judging
from their showing of yesterday, this
revised line-up cannot compare with
the old, which contained Heinie Groh
at third, Larry kopf at short and a
steady, Industrious second sacker by
name of Morris Rath.
But still. as limited at above, the com
hinstion OF FordhRm Frisch and Dixie
Benton as it worked yesterday would
have upset the best-laid plans of any
team of ball tossers in any league: Pat
Moran, ever "well-red" man, waxed
redder and redder as he exhorted his
men to furnish little opposition to
the Frisch- Benton coalition.
Frisch Triples in First
1t was in the first inning that Ford
ham began his dastardly work; that is,
from the viewpoint of the visitors only.
George Burns opened this introductory
chapter with single to center. Dave
Bancroft followed with smash over
third that put, Burns on second, and
then Frisch produced q terrific clout to
center which sent his mates on their
way homeward rejoicing and landed
frankie on third. San Antoine Young
promptly banged safety to left and
Fordham crossed the plate.
As it turned out these runs were
enough, as the Reds found it impos-
sible to do thing with the wide,
sweeping drops of Benton. but Ford
q 4
seemed, regarding the ability of Rube
70 keep up mis- fast pace, so the very
next time he went to the plate he
committed another tremendous wallop,
which old Dode Paskert barely man
aged TO nab in front of the bleachers
in right center. Old Paskert com
pleted a wonderful play by throwing
to second in time to catch Burns. who
had attempted to advance peg from
first on Frisch's mighty crash.
But still Fordham was not off the
map for upon his next appearance
as batsman Frisch lined single to
right. and on his final summons in
the eighth inning, with one man out,
this slugging kid drove the ball to the
exit gate In deepest right center for
bis second triple of the afternoon.
Young once more helped Frank over
the platter, sacrifice fly to Roush
RelHg responsible.
The ether run tailed by the Giants
came into the fifth inning, when Frisch
had no chance to help, inasmuch as he
did not happen to come to bat in this
particular frame. Goldie Rapp was the
sponsor for the scoring here as he
onened the stanza with 8 double over
Duncan's head in right. Earl Smith
beyed orders most implicitly, with a
h'@urj ful sacrifice bunt. Eben Benton,
h'm sc +. surprised with a long hy to
center, Rapp easily counting after the
catch
Reds Weak at Bat
As for the efforts of the Reds to
break through they we're most feeble
and futile. In only one inning did the
visitors get more than one hit and in
three they got none. The first hit off
kGbe came from the bat of Daubert in
the first, che next was double by the
aged Paskert in the second, the third
was a single by Fonseca in the fourth.
The one inning when the Reds
punched" two safeties was the sew
enth and here a great play by Rapp
and Frisch removed the last worry OF
Rube. Crane started matters in this
seventh with a single to center. Har-
grave, the hard-hitting catcher of the
OIHCieS, DhliSSQ ASiCc gIVuuue1 az
Rapp, who made most marvellous stop,
threw to Frisch, forcing Crane and
frankie hurled the ball to Kelly, ahead
Of Hargrave, for ripping double-play.
The last gun was fred at Benton in
the ninth, when with one out Crane
shot double along the left field foul
line. But the next batter was easy
and all was over.
1t is worthy of note that Long
George Kelly not only failed to rap out
any home runs, but, worse than that, he
didn't collect even single from the
loops of Luke Luque, of Cuba. In the
eighth Long George tried his hardest
to oblige the'fans. He swung with all
his might and connected fairly, but the
ball sailed out of the park in left,
some two or three feet foul.
George Burns, next to Frisch, was
the leading Giant batter. George got
two singles in four times up. The
other hits that fell to the lot of the
New Workers were single by Ban
croft, a single by Young, double by
Rapp and a single by Benton.
