NEW YORK, Dec. Pit is but
natural that old memories returned
for the slim form was that of Jake
Schaefer, the son, who employed
the marvellous style of his father tc
triumph over Welker Cochran Tues
day night in the third block of theil
1872 balkline match for the worlds
title, now held by Cochran.
Schaefer, who has won the first
three blocks of this 1,50o-point
struggle, now leads by 900 to soc
points. Cochran's last chance tc
atone and keep safe his crown was
to come this afternoon and evening
when the final two blocks we're to
be played. The champion faced a
man-sized job.
Schaefer annexed the Tuesday
afternoon block, 300 to 205, in five
innings. His best run was 155
Cochran's best was 1913.
Difficult Shots
The game Tuesday night was
thickly Sprinkled with difficult shots
by both men. In the twenty first
inning Cochran thrilled the spec
tators by swapping into his stroke
and displaying the technique fol
which he is famed.
"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, nine
ty-nine," droned Referee Cutler. A
click of cue and ball, half audible
groan. Cochran had missed. With
a wry grimace Of disappointment he
resumed his seat. HIS best run fol
the night was over.
Chip. OF Old Block
At last the matchleSs skill Of old
Jake's son imbued the old timers
with thrill after thrill. The twenty
second inning for the challenger.
Back-line nursing, which many
billiard neophytes would give year
of their livesto learn; masse shots
which drew bursts of applause-all
reminiscent of Old Jake.
On and on drove Young Jake, his
features fixed in a grim mask of
concentration. Four more points
and the block is his. An easy carom
proved his undoing, but only after
he had made the high run of the
evening, a string of 1877 points.
Another chance for the nervous
champion, another opportunity to
come through and climax an eve
ming which had seen all styles of
play.
Cochran tried determinedly, but
it was useless. Seven points, mole
hill in this mountain of $500, and
he was back in his chair while the
challenger reeled off four fast points
TO end the block, leaving an I'M
finished run of four. Schaefer's aver
age for the night was 81 4-8 tc

won for himself the title of Home

in that seasons classic. Unless I
am mistaken he led the American
League in home runs that year with
nine. Nowadays, Babe Ruth makes
that many in couple of weeks
Tt will be remembered Baker
made home runs in the 1911 series
off both Marquard and. Mathewson
at critical spots, turning what
seemed defeats into victories for the
Athletics.
1t is, therefore, all the more in
teresting that Baker, noted for his
feats of smuggling, should be one
Of the victims in the most thrill
ing fielding featS ever have seen.
THE 1921 world series was the
Il first meeting between the two
New York clubs in baseball's classic.
That year the terms were playing
best five in nine games.
The Yanks had gotten away to a
two-game lead, but when the eighth
game of the series rolled around. the
Giants were in front four games to
three. Unless the Yanks could win
the eighth the affair was ended for
another year.
An error enabled the Giants to
score a run in the first inning. That
one run, as it later turned out, de-
cided the ball game and the series.
There was no more scoring. How
ever, in the ninth, the Yanks staged
a rally that promised great things,
but proved a "dud." 1t did set the
stage, however, for the great fielding
play.
The Yanks made their bid to even
the count or win the game by send
ing Ruth to the bat as pinch hitter.
He had been out of the game be-
cause of an injured arm.
n 4
The Yankee fans went wild
when Babe took his place at the
bat. They had visions of home
run that might even the count.
The Babe failed 'em, merely
grounding out to first.
Il y u
WIZARD, the next batsman, was
wv passed. His reaching first base
set the stage for the thriller that
was to follow. Frank Baker, Home
Run King" of other days, was sent
in to pinch hit. A circuit drive
would win the game.
Rawlings, a substitute, was play
ing second base for the Giants. He
, had played sensational ball through
out the series. When Baker stepped
to the plate, Rawlings moved sew
eral steps toward first base, Baker
being a dead right-field hitter.
Getting a pitch to his liking Baker
drove a sizzler to right that it
seemed neither Rawlings nor Kelly,
playing first base for New York,
would be able to handle.
TT q
Rawlings made a dive for the
ball and, in some way, came up
with it, a miraculous play. Badly
out of position, he somehow got
the ball to first ahead of Baker.
Il =
WIZARD, running with the hit
w and certain the ball had
gone through the infield, dashed for
third. Kelly made a great throw
to Frisch at third. BY diving at
Ward who went into third with the
most approved hook slide, Frisch
won the decision, ending the game
and winning the series for the
Giants.
Three great plays, a wonder stop
by Rawlings, a remarkable throw
by Kelly and a diving finish by
Frisch in putting the ball on the
runner, comprised the most SEN
sational play I ever have seen a
field.
