MARBERRY RESCUES
DESPITE SORE ARM

BY the Associated Press.
Fred Marberry, whose relief pitch
ing saved the game yesterday Tor
the Nationals, went into the box
with q sore arm, It WAS disclosed
last night by Manager Bucky
Harris.
Marberry's right wing has not
been In the best Of condition for
some time, but he performed
courageousIy.
"IIi throw the o'd arm OF to save
the game" Marberry told Harris
when he was summoned to the
mound.
'Firpo Fred" Immediately struck
out Wright and Grantham and had
two strikes on Smith when the
Pittsburgh catcher hit his disputed
liner to Rice at the b!eacher rail.

other postponement. The judge ought
to take the presidency OF the North
Pole circuit. If this day was fit for
base ball, then Yale and Harvard
ought to meet on the gridiron next
Fourth Of July.
A northwest gale which chilled to
the marrow blew straight across the
field and caused some high and lofty
Juggling with fly balls. Easy catches
became circus chances. Gusts OF dust

The crowd was foot ball gathering.

a snow crown sometimes mistaken for

Stan Harris singled and GosNn batted
next.
Here is where the eminent Goose
sctntillated and still shines. His play
turned the tide toward Washington.
The Pirates were sure that the out
fielder would try again for the fences
and played back against them. But
the Goose stood that team on its top
knot by laying down a bunt between
third and home that a flying Mercury
could not have got, and the bases
were full. Judge hit a sacrifice fly to
center and McNeely scored tho tying
run. Joe Harris cracked the ball on
the nose and Bucky Harris scored
what proved to be the winning run.
Meyer batted the ball down the base
line, but run into it and was out on
his own hit.

drop the ball. The Pirates were dumb

that the ball had been momentarily
held before 1t was dropped. Goslin
won the game by fine strategy, but
Sam Rice saved a tic by a wonderful
play.
The Washingtons were never dan

again maintained its reputation for
having something stored In the giz-

Statements on the play, regarded at
the time as one Of the most remark
able defensive feats In series history,
found Z wide divergence Of opinion.
Rice claimed that the ball never
left his hands; that he caught it with
his gioved hand just before he top
pied over the short barrier In front
Of the bleachers in right center.
"The only time It left my left hand
was when dropped it into the right
to throw It back to the inf1eld," said
Rice. '-The delay in my getting back
on the field was due to extrtcating
myself from the laps OF the fans.
He intimated that several spectators
sought to reach for the bali In his
hands.
Exports pointed out that there was
no precedent for reversing the judg-
ment Of an umpire. deciding a play.
In this case Umpire Rigler, at sec
ond base. had ruled Rice's catch fair
and waved Smith out.
There was, some objection at - the
time by the Pirates, but McKechnie
did not Join in this and made no pro.
test OF any kind at the tune.

McKechnie Has Afadsvits.
The Pirate manager was prepared
to submit to lands tho affldav1ts Of
two bleacher fans and eyewitnesses to
support a contention that Rice did
not make fair catch and that Smith
was entitled to'a home run, but after
his conference with lands he said
he would drop the matter altogether.
Manager Harris OF Washington dis.
missed the charges by declaring that
1t was q marvellous and legal catch.
On the other hand. the two fans
who sat close to, the play declared
that Rice dropped tho ball, then
reached In to pick It up.

down a bunt toward third base. The
base runners were away In nash,
and Goslin streaked to first without
giving Traynor any chance for a play.
Judges sacrifice ny and Moon Harris
single followed to sew up the game.
Only two double plays were made
In the game. After Ferguson had
passed one batter and hit another In
the opening inning, Cuyler loffed to
Goslin. Barnhart then socked a
grounder to short, and the Peck-Har-
ris-Judge combination ended the In
ming. The Pirates turned the tables
on the Nationals after Rice singled
with one gone in the fifth. Bucky
Harris lined directly to Moore, and
the latter's toss to Grantham easily
doubled Rice.
Everybody but tho two teams and
the umpires apparently knew that
Marberry batted out Of turn in the
eighth inning. McNeely, who had run
for Leibold after the latter batted Tor
Ferguson in the seventh. instead OF
the relief pitcher. should have batted.
Marberry's sacrifice advanced Ruel to
the middle station. Had Rice hit to
score Ruel instead Of bounding to
Wright for the last out, the run would
have counted. The rules provide that
a player batting out of turn must be
declared out before pitch is made 70
the succeeding batter, or the out-of.

legal. -
Smith was charged with an error

flrst Inning. The Goose made second
base when Smith failed to chase the
sphere, but after Judge had wstched
a strike speed past. the umpires con-
ferred. ordered Goslin to return TO nrst
and gave Judge a clean slate at bat.
The ruling on the Goose was in con-
fornity with q ground rule for the
games here that limits a batter who
swings for a third strike that Is miss
ed by the catcher to one base only.

ming that became a home run when
the ball bounded into the temporary
center field bleachers would have been
a sound triple on the clear field here.
It was terrific drive that neither
Carey nor Cuyler could get near.
For the first time in the series hits
neither singles nor homers were made.
Carey, Cuyler and Judge registered
| two-basers, while Traynor socked a
threebagger.
In the Pirates fourth, with two on
and two out, Smith was purposely
passed. He stood at the plate in his
customary portside position to watch
the first three wide ones 90 by. then
stepped to the other side Of the platter
to look over the fourth one.
Twelve players were used by the
Nationals in the fray, while the
Pirates used but 10. The extra Pitts

Bigbee. who batted for Kremer in the

CUBS TAKE SECOND
STRAIGHT FROM SOX
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 10.-The Cubs
made 1t two straight from their
White Sox rivals today by winning
the third game Of the series. to Q,
the first game having resulted in a
2-to-2 draw after 19 innings. The
National Leaguers punched their hits
of the veteran Urban Faber. while
the support behind him was cratic,
his teammates making four erors,
which aided the Cubs materially in
their run making. In the very first
inning Kane dropped a throw from
FHaber with an easy double play in
front Of him. This paved the way
for cluster of four runs in the first
inning. In the fifth inning Mostil
and Barrett contributed three more
errors, Barrett being responsible for
two, and the Cubs scored two more
runs. They added two more runs in
the eighth by punching four hits of
Thurston. Crouse's mum of a foul
iy while Thurston was on the hill
was not costly.
Sheriff Blake pitched one of the
best games of his career. although he
walked nine men and hit another.
The White Sox were able to touch
him for only five hits and were un-
able to bunch these. The White Sox
had seVeraI opportunities 10 score. Dut
Blake bore down in the pinches.
Twice the bases were loaded, but the
Sox were unable to score. The Sox's S
first run came in the sixth on a sim
gle, walk and two 1nfield outs A
base on balls. a stolen base and a
single gave them their other run in
the ninth. The Cubs collected Total
Of 13 hits Off Faber. and Thurston,
Adams having a perfect day with
four hits, one a double. and a sacri-

Cuyler had opened with q double
and scored on Barnhart's single. Tray
nor walked, and both runners moved
up on Wright's infield demise. A hit
by Grantham at that time would have
knocked Ferguson out. but the Jersey
boy got rid Of Grantham on a pop
fly. and after Earl Smith was inten-
tionally passed he struck out kremer.
Ferguson gave one Of the gamest
exhibitions of world series pitching
seen in years. Yesterday we called at
tention to this boys nerve, and he
certainly showed it.
Nationals Have Big Edge.
Ray Kremer. the defeated Pirate
pitcher, did we'll considering the poor
weather, which was especially severe
on a pitcher who uses a sharp-break-
ing drop ball. However, Kremer was
reached fairly freely in the sixth and
seventh innings. and would have been
hit still harder had Bluege been in
the game. Young Myer rather checked
Washington rallies In both the sixth
and seventh. and 1 was surprised that
"Bucky" Harris did not use Veach or

when they had Kremer gasping in the
seventh.

Catch Is Doubted.
Judge knocked in Washington's first
run with a double. and the tying run
in the seventh with a sacrifice fly.
Goslin's homer in the sixth started
the decline Of Ray Kremer. That
was the "Goose's" fourth world series
homer, which enables him to tie
Ruth's record for most world series
home runs. I look for the Goose"
to break that record in this series.
1t always will be a question of
doubt as to whether Sam Rice caught
that line fly by Earl Smith in the
eighth inning. Rice certainly delayed
bringing back the ball for some time,
if he did catch it. though Rigler. the
National League umpire, apparently
was satisfied that Sam caught the
sphere. He ruled that Rice held the
ball long enough to constitute a legal
catch.
The play in some respects was a
duplicate Of the great catch which
Harry Hooper, former Red SoX right
fielder, made at F'enway Park on
Larry Doyle, the erstwhile Giant cap
tain. in the eighth and deciding game
Of the 1912 world series.
Grantham Failed in Pinch.
Hooper made this catch bending
back over a low railing, and some
National League partisans always con-
tended that as Hooper had his feet

II one play was the turning point of
