A moment later Catcher | Myers and First Baseman Merkle per- mited a foul ffy to drop safe and gave the Sox another opportunity. Then a pinch hitter, with two strikes on lim, | sent a groutder down the third base line that was fair by inches only, de- ciding the ball Matty Deserved to Win If ever a pitcher deserved to win a ball game, Matthewson was entitled to victory in the final game of the 1912 world series. [ have seen a pitcher get many a tough break on the ball field, but none that compared to Mathewson's portion of hard luck in that alkimportant game. A few hours after the game was over, I was standing at the Back Bay station in Boston chatting with Ma- thewson. I couldn't refrain from al- luding to his tough luck, even though but little baseball was being discussed. I shall never forget Mathewson's reply it teemed with logic and was charac- ic of that great player: ‘It's all in the game. Our bad luck was Boston's good luck. Usually a tough break for one team is regarded as a good break for the other team.” All of which is very true, but I have since: wondered how many pitchers would have taken such a sen- ible view of a happening that pre- vented Matty from winning baseball's | greatest honor, the world serie: j Costly Dropped Third Strike Back in 1907, in the first game of the world series between the Chicago { Cubs and the Detroit Tygers, #ith two | out in the ninth, the Tygers leading by a run, Bill Donovan pitching for | Detroit, struck out the batsman and | with perfect play the side should have | been retired, giving Detroit the first game and the cdge, | Instead, the Detroit backstop al- |lowed the ball to trickle through his fing the batsman reaching fir [ and runrer on third scoring th run that tied up the game.

These players are Babe Ruth, Wally Schang, veteran catcher, and Joe Bush, pitching ace. Ruth played with the Boston Red Sox In the world series of 1015, 1916 and 1918, starring first as a pitcher. He has been with the champion Yanks in their three successive pen- nant triumphs. Schang and Bush have heen battery mates in their world series experience with three American league clubs. They had their first test with the Athletics in 1913 when the Mackmen They were with ton Braves performed their “miracle” of four straight victories over Mackmen. After a lapse of several gle in 1918 with the Red Sox and be- came cogs in the Yankee pennant machine in 1921. This year's series will be the fifth for two other Yanks, Everett Scott, veteran shortstop and Carl Mayes, pitcher. Scott was with tie Red Sox in 1915,71916 and 1918 but did not join Yanks until 1922. Mays was with the Red S6x in 1916 and 1918 in addi- tion to the three victorious New York teams. Dave Bancroft, captain and short- stop of the Glants, has had more ser- ies experience than any other mem- ber of the world champions. He was with the pennant winning Philadel- phia Nationals fn 1915 in addition to the three triumphant Giant machines.

Franklin Baker and Larry Gardner; the highest total for a single series, two, held Jointly by eleven players; and the sinfle game record of two, held by Huarry Hooper and Benny Kauff, mer Smith, now a member of the Yankees ,holds the unique distinction of being the only player ever to hit a homer with the bases full during a | series, a feat he accomplished with Cleveland: in the 1920 series with Erooklyn. The homer was made off Burleigh Grimes, The greatest fame as a series clouter belongs to “Home Run" Baker, of the old Athletics, Curiously enough, all three' of Baker's circuit wallops were recorded at the expense of the Giants, two of them winning games for the Mackmen. In the 1911 series, Baker's home run off Marquard in the game of October 16, with Colling on base, and the score tied, gave the verdict to the Philadelphia club, 3 to 1. Two years later, a homer by Bakes gave the Atbletics their winning margin in a game with the Giants, again with Marquard pitching and Colling on the bags. 4 Baker's other homer, made in the 1911 series, was off Mathewson; and came in the ninth inning ' with the Glants leading, 1 to 0. . Tt thus tied the score and the Athletics won out in the eleventh. Other homers that proved deciding factors in series contests were made by Joe Tinker, of thé ‘old Chicago Cubs; Fred Clarke, when he was man- ager of the Pittsburgh Pirates; Danny Murphy, of the Athletics; Harry Hooper, of the Red Sox; Larry Gardner, of Cleveland; Oscar Felsch, of the Chicago White Sox; and Benny Kauff, of the Giants. 38 Main St. MURALIS OF REFEREE'S CHANGED DECISIONS SERIES HOME RUN - ——— Ertle Gives It to Stribling and Three Hours Later Calls It a Draw—Claims ‘Intimidation by Crowd— Maj. Jones Files Charges Against N. Y, Arbiter, By The Associated Press. Columbus, Ga, Oct, §—Mike Me- Tigue of Ireland retains his world light heavyweight hy virtue of three decisions by Harry Ertle, 'N-w Jersey referee, After 10 medioere rounds here yos. terday, Ertle made motions with his hands and left the ring only to return within & few moments and declare “Young” Stribling of Macon, Ga., the winner, and three hours Iater, from the seclusion of a private home, imued a statement that the originel verdiet a draw, with McTigue to retaln his crown, stood, Threats of Force Confusion reigned throughout the final day of the fight, starting in the small hours of the morning after Me- Tigue at midnight had unnounced a poorly mended broken bone in his left thumb rendered him incapable of de- fonding his championship, and in- creasing until McTigue agreed to en- ter the ring despite his injury. Me- Tigue and his manager, Joe Jacobs sald they were forced to fight under threats of death and Ertle later as- sertad that he was forced to change the original draw decision and that Major John Paul Jones, promofer had raised the referee's hand as Stribling inserted his glove within its grasp. Claims Colossal Fake, Major Jones on the other hand de. clared Ertle, Jacobs and McTigne had attempted to perpetrate’ a ‘“‘colossal fake” and “apparently had succeeded in carrying outitheir intention.' He declared McTigue had heen “'played for a sucker” by his manager, had been told Stribling’ would he an easy victim and that after he had a glimpse of young Stribling knew he could not win from the Georgia youth and “it was nothing ecise for him to do except to run out of the fight:" Major Jones declared that a chal- llenge from Georges Carpentier after the latters win aver Joe Beckett in Tondon, and offers from various pro- moters running as high as $50,000 in- fluenced the champion in his action. McTigue, knowing that his value as a drawing card would be depreciated by a loss to Stribling. Major Jones appealed to Chairman Muldoon of the New York commission outlining his version of the fiasco. Appeal To Muldoon. “Harry Ertle rendered several de- cisions in the ' McTigue-Stribling championship bout,”” said the tele- igram to the New York commission, “the entire vote of all newspapermen gave the deeision to Stribling by a wide margin.
