KELLER'S MISTAKE
| FATAL TO NEWARK
Defeat by Columbus Proves
Base Running Still Is

X YEWARK, N. j., September 30
mi -Base-runnins, say the old
" timers, Isn't what 1t used to
L be when Ty Cobb was ghost
ing around the paths. But it's still q
fine art that can mean the difference
between winning and losing q ball
game.
Ask the Newark Bears about it and
they'll agree they learned something
about it in the first game of the little
world series yesterday as they lost to
Columbus.
The professor OF how not to do 1t,
1t happened, was Charley Keller, the
Maryland lad who won the Interna-
tional League batting crown this year,
his first season in organized base ball
On base three times, he was picked
of twice-losing one run for sure and
removing himself ~ scoring threat
the second time.

in the afterpiece, which was called in
seven innings.
The Pirates seventh-inning five-run
splurge whipped the st. Louis Cardi-
mails, rs. The Dodgers and Bees were
rained out.
Boston's Red Sox, hoping for a
f1rst-division cut of the world series
pot, socked the Griffmen twice, 81,
behind Lefty Grove. and IA, behind
Johnny Marcums effective relief ell
bowing. The Browns came from be-
hind to squeeze out . rs Lewiston

the White Sox, taking the opener, 5-4,
In 10 innings on Frankie Pytlak's

the abbreviated four -and-one-half-

Mistake Proves Costly.

THE error In Judgment that really
counted came in the fourth In
ming. Keller was on first through q
single. Streaking for second on q
pitch to Bob Seeds. he was At the bag
when Jimmy Jordan bobbled Seeds
hard grounder. Keller saw the mis-
cue and sped toward third, only to be
caught.
Had he stopped at second he would
have been driven home by Catcher
Willard Hershberger's single or been
forced across the plate on the walk tc
Nolen Richardson. Newark led, 10
at the time and 1t didn't seem to mat
ter. But Newark eventually lost BY
q one-run margin, 5 to 4.
Keller couldn't be held responsible
the second time. On first through Z
walk, he set out for second when
Seeds smashed = pitch to short center
for what looked to be . sure hit. Lynn
King made . great catch, however
and threw to First Baseman Dick
Seibert before Keller could get back
to the bag. Again Hershbergel

George Washington Prepared Surprise From, Wake Forest
, ALL ITS CONTESTS

Pixlee Still Undecided on
Lineup to Start Game
Tomorrow Niqht.

"EARING a revival of the spirit
u that on three occasions has
whipped Wake Forest into a
\ fighting, effective grid machine
for games with George Washington,
Coach Jim Pixlee will take no chances
with the Deacons tomorrow night,
though they will enter the game the
, underdogs. The doughty North Caro-
lima band always manages to play its
best foot ball of the season against
G. w.
Generally distinct favorite over
the Deacons, George Washington has
received the bitterest kind of compe-
tition from them the last three years,
judging from the scores, 60, TO and
1912. The Colonials won the first and
third games. and the Deacons tri-
umphed on their own field in 1885.
Pixlee received one report from the
Tennessee-Wake Forest game which
disturbed him, but did not surprise
him. Wake Forest is strong again de-
fensively. Don't let that score against
Tennessee catch you by SURPRISE" the
report said.

Hewitt being the exceptions. Hewitt
was . near-letter reserve In 1885.

Disdains Winter Rules,

DlS0AluS WlntCT nUle4s
n EFUSING to play Winter rules
where many Of the lies at this
time Of the year were bad, he was out
in 80 and back In 80. Here Is his
score:
fnN 1at- 4s344 : EEsSLe.
The feature Of this round was that
with any break of luck, he nigh,
easily have had a 81 or a 81. He had
four puts that either trimmed the cur
or hung on the lip. He holed only one
putt over 10 feet. His last three puts
trimmed the cup for brides, hanging
on the lip.
When you consider the fact that he
had played almost no golf since last
February, his round at North Hemp
stead was a spectacular performance
In the presence OF rd-boiled critics
he played every type OF shot that be-
longs to golf.
Alex Morrison turned In a 10, play
ing fine golf. Montague should have
had at least 81 with any break OF
luck" he said.
This answers the question as to what
brand Of golf Montague can play-even
after a six-month lay-off.

dition to his other experiences along
this line with the Deacs, gave the

Pixlee also considers the fact that
his team actually still is untried in
competition, while the inexperienced
visitors have game against the stiffest
type of opposition under their belts.
On the basis Of lengthy informal
scrimmage with Maryland yesterday
at College Park two doubtful line posi-
tions in the group to face the opening
whistle were nailed down. Pixlee has
named Lloyd Berry for the right end

has been battling Pete Yurwitz, ana

Backfield Still a Puzzle.

puzzle as ever, with the coaches
still refusing to name starting
quartet. Only Elmer Hogg, fullback
Is certain starter. Bruce Mahan or
Frank Merka may play quarterback:
Joey Kaufman, Vic Sampson or Elmore
Borden may play left halfback and
Bob Nowaskey or Howard Tihila may
grab the right halfback assignment.
Pixlee was pleased to reopen the
series OF practice scrimmages with
Maryland and announced himself as
satisfied with the results of yester-
days work that extended long after
dark under the foodlights. Frank
Dobson, Terp coach, said the ses-
sion was just the thing his boys
needed to tune up for Penn.
In addition to Holt, a number of
other George Washington players still
are on the doubtful list as far as
Injuries are concerned. Jay Turner's
bruised rib will be tested a bit today

freak of nature, should lose all their
remaining games, the Cubs still would
have to take four in a row to make
it anything but a nickel series for
little old New York.

the job yesterday. After winning
the opener of double bill with the
Phils, 6-3, with Skyscraper Cliff Mel
ton taking his twentieth victory, the
Terry Terriers needed only one win
to clinch. But the small matter of a
homer with the bases loaded in the
first inning and some fancy finging
by Lefty Lamaster gave the Phils a
