Joe was © TOMAKE RECORD HISTORIC WORLD SERIES BREAKS (By BILLY EVANS) In a world serles betiveen two ‘evenly matched clubs, the “breaks” invariably decide the outcome. 5 Consistent batting, flelding or pitching through nine innings isn't a break., A break is the unexpoctqd. a bolt out of the blue, & mishap at a crucial moment—one good timel¥swat at the most damaging point of play. o r.:s'o! ke\-e;(y world series contributes an otitstanding break. Sometimes e breaks offset each other. Occasion 9 i0is Hituaion thronsboue sionally, as iu 1905, the pitchers master When a great catcher like Johnny Kling drops throw at the plate and perfits a rookie to score the winning run, you have a break, When a pitcher like Art Nehf of the New York Giants, with a 4 to 1 victory in sight, suddenly loses control and goes to pieces, you have a break worth talking about. ., Figure World Series Six Games Six games constitute the average world serics. Therefore in sum- ming up the historic “breaks” or the world scries, no attention has been paid to the seventh and eighth games, It was in an eighth game that Bnodgrass of the Glants made the costly muff that cost his team the series. Thirty-four world series games have been declded by an outstanding break. Sometimes a break consists of a combination of circumstances, as in one of the 1920 games between Cleveland and Brooklyn. In that particular game the Brooklyn pitcher fell in fielding a bunt, filling the bases. This was followed by a home run that cleared them, the only time it has happened in a series game. Taking such a combination of two breaks instead of one, the records show that 17 of the 37 breaks were infield misplays, while nine were timely wallops like Casey Stengel's hom'e runs of last year. Infield Misplays Most Costly Aside from these two classes, bases on balls contributed two breaks, catcher's errors three, bad bounders two, misjudged flies three, and out- fielder's errors one. Hence there is much more danger of an infield misplay ruining a ame than any other mishap. One-third of all the brea times in 13 the team that got the opening game I game, but also went out and won the series. When a series goes beyond four games, the breass have been seven to one in favor of @e American League. Eleven times in 15 world series the team that got themajority of the breaks has come out on top. Only once, in 1923, the team that got the most of the breaks failed to come through. Following are the historic breaks of {he first game: 1908—Fifth inning: Kling of icago Cubs dropped a perfect throw to the plate, Rohe, Chicago White Sox, scoring, the Americans winning 2tol, 1907—Ninth inning: With two out and Detrdit leading 3 to 2, Catcher Schmidi dropped a third strike that would have retired the side, per- mitting Steinfeldt of Chicago Natiofals to score. The game ended in 12 inninge, 3 to § tie, s 1908—Ninth inning: With one out and a runner on first, Pitcher Summers of Detroit missed an easy chance for a double play that would have given Detroit a 6 to 5 victor; Five ruus were made before the side was retired, Chicago Nationals winning 10 to 6. ' 1911—Fourth inning: Eddie Collins of the Athleties fumbled Mur- ray's grounder with two out andjbefore he could recover it, Snodgrass scored all the way from second, the New York Gia winning 2 to 1. 1912—Seventh inning: With one out, Doyle of the Giants missed a double play, three men scoring thereafter, the Boston Americans winning 4 to 3. 1913—Fourth inning: With two out, Shafer of the New York Na- tionals misjudged Schang's fly which scored two men, the Philadelphia Americans winning 6 to 4. ks have oceurred In (he opening game, Ten ceak not only won that 1915—Eightliednning; Scott failed to cover second when Shortstop Barry of Rostonfide a miracle stop, thereby losing a play that resuited in the Philadelpiile Nationals scoring two runs and winning 3 to 1, 1916—Seventh inning: Two errors by Olson and one by Cutshaw-of Brooklyn, coupled with a single Boston hit, erabied the Americans to score three runs and win 6 to 5. 1917—Third inndng: In trying to make a shoestring catch, Outfielder Kauft of the New York Giants failed, a bad bound permitting J. Collins of the Chicago White 8ox to score from second, the Americans winning 2tol. 1919—Fourth inning: Risberg of the Chicago Americans, with a dou- ble play in front of him that would have retired the side runless, stum. bled over the hag and missed his man at first. Cincinnati then made five runs, the Nationals winning 9 to 1. 1920—Second inning: Buims of Cleveland hit a sky-high fly, wind- blown from shortfield to first bage, dropped safely. First Baseman Koney | of Brookiyn recovered the hall and threw it into left field, Burns scoring. This unsettled Brooklyn, the inning netting two runs, Cleveland winning 3 to 1. ' 1922—Eighth inning: Pitcher Bush of the New York Americans missed a chance for a double play that permitted the New York Nation- als to scove three runs, the Giants winning 3 to 2 1923—Ninth inning: Stengel of the New York Giants hit a home run, ust beating the relay to the plate, giving the Giants a victory over the National league won seven games, American league six, as the re- sult of geiting the unexpected break.

Duteh Ulrich performed in the fl- nal clash for the Brasscos and allow- ed his opponents five hits, none of them being for extra bases. Thomas, who was selected by Baltimore to hurl, was not as successful and found hig offerings touched for eight bin- g1%s, Including three doubles and two triples, In addtion three errors daid not go to help the cause to any macked degree, The Brasscos collected two runs in the first hmlng/ by bumping Thomas almost as soon as he started pitching. In the fourth, thoukh, they pried oft the lid and found four more runs as the contents, Shorty Demoe walked and came home when Solomon spanked a triple to center figi, Moe, however, made It a round trip when Boley threw Jacob- sons’ relay in the general direction of third. Yordy was walked and Shorty Long looked over Thomas® as- sortment and picked out one that was also good for three bases—with with Solomon and Yordy strutting across the plate. Graham’'s fly to right field brought in Tong, beating the throw home to Otto Greenae. That was all the scoring ingthat in- ning. The pride of Dan O'Neiil's circuit added another run in the eighth in- Nning, thanks to the pattering feet of the Waterbury third baseman. Shor- ty got to first and started a late steal to second. He made it when Grennae threw wild and instead of slowing up T.ong put on more speed and turned {hird for home, Boley took the ball from Jacobson and staged amother one of his famoys wild throws, the baH going up Against the press screen, The Orioles saved themselves from the disgrace of a shutout in the ninth inning. Clark, pinch-hitter for Thomas, singled to center, took. second on a passed ball and scored when Maisel made first on an appar- ent out. The hitting of Long and Solomon was the batting feature of the game. Long collected a single; double and triple while the latter got a double and single. They were responsible for five of the seven runs, The Brass- cos compiled four ‘errors, however, against three by the visitors but the misplays of the winners came at times that proved of little help to the Orioles.

George Leghorn and Harry Ginsherg alded Lionel Dépot In putting the squad into shape. ¥ The return of McCarthy strength- ens the team considerably, as he was thought by many to be the peer of all ends in the state last season, It is probable that Stromquist will divide the fullback positioft with Belser, as he had a very successful workout with the first team last night. Bojnowskl, who was ineligiblt last week, will be back at his old posi- tion at left tackle. Captain Zehrer, O'Brien and Gripp are the fast, hard hitting back field trio, on whom much will depend. ¥rom the way in which they played Jast Saturday against the Weaver high they are bound to be great factors in bringing home the bacon, The team that will probably take the field against Crosby High is as follows: Right end—Neipp. Right tackle—Beloin.
