eft . i - THEN BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1918. A I it i ij RED SOX WIN FIRST III HOT BATTLE FOR WORLD FLAG Winning Run Scored on First Base on Balls Allowed by Vaughn, Followed by Two Singles. (Continued From Fit One.) tion of the board devottd to the bit ters Failed to work. No Extra Bases. The one-handed spear by Scott of Vaughn's hot grounder provided the one spectacular feature of the contest. It was a beasniful play, but at the tune the Cubs were not threatening. The whole nine innings failed to pro duce a hit for extra bases, nor any real test of speed for the outfielders. George Whiteman, Boston utility outfielder, stnrred in the outfield for Boston, and doubtless prevented the Cubs from scoring. He was also the only man of the invaders to make two hits, one of which figured in Boston's winning run. Pass Expensive. Vaughn's momentary weakness in the fourth cost him the game. Shean, the first man up for Boston, walked, when the Cub twirler attempted to work the corners ou Umpire U'Day. Strunk, who followed., flied to Vaughn on an attempted sacrifice, and Whiteman delivered his second blow, sending Shean to second. Tas kert's quick return prevented the Red Sox second baseman from taking third. Mclnnis' single to left scored Shean, while Whiteman moved up io second. Scott popped to Deal and Whiteman scrambled back to the keystone sack, just in time to beat the Cub third baseman's peg to sec , ond. Vaughn mixed them to Thom as, who swung heavily at three wide ones. This ended the inning for Boston and the scoring, also. Bos ton never threatened again. Ruth Invincible. The premier brand of Ruth's pitch ing was the chief factor in the Cub defeat, although the superb sup port rendered by his team mates as sisted in repulsing the Cub attack. Had the Nationals been able to bunch their blows on the Boston pitcher the game would have been over in Jhe first, when Mann singled after two were out and took third on Taskert's Texas leaguer to left field. Merkie was passed, fill ing the bases. With the game depending on his next offering, Ruth served up a low, fast ball to Pick, at the same time waving his outfielders back toward the bleachers, and the Cub second baseman dropped a high fly into Whiteman's hands, closing the inning. Whitman captured the ball after hard run and earned laurels there by. To have missed it would have meant two runs tor the locals. . Whiteman Shines Again. Whiteman captured the ball after Cubs and victory again in (the sixth. With one out Paskert singled to cen ter, taking third when Merkie bounced a grounder over Ruth's head and into center fiell. Dick grounded out to Mclnnis, and Stuffy's quick throw from first held the Cub center fielder at third. A moment lat er Whteman again stepped, into the fore and raced across the field after Deal's long fly to deep left. He raptured it after a hard run and the game was saved, for the Cubs never threatened again. After the sixth, Ruth pitched air tight ball and despite Manager Mit chell's strategies vthe Cubs never had a look in. They went out in or der save in the final inning when, after one was out, Mitchell sent his reserves iuto the front line. Merkie had sent a long fly to White man, when Mitchell sent O'Farrell in to bat for Pick. The Cub reserve catcher flied out to Thomas. Deal caused a momentary revival of inter est with a single over third and Mc Cabe was sent in to run for him. Killefer put an end to the game by sending a long fly to right, which Hopper captured after a hard run. First Inning. Boston Hooper was cheered as Ire walked to the plate. Vaughn's first pitch was a strike. Hooper bumped the second offering down the first base line and was out, Merkie to Vaughn. Shean took two strikes and then dropped a Texas leaguer in right Struuk forced Shean, Deal to Pick, the Chicago second baseman losing a chance for a double play by a momentary fumble. Strunk tried to go down on a short passed ball and was thrown out, Killefer to Hollocher. No runs, one hit, no errors. Chicago Flack fanned, the third strike being called when it shot over the outside corner, shoulder high. Hollocher grounded out, Shean to Mclnnis. Mann sent a duplicate grounder at Shean, but the ball hop ped over the second baseman's head for a single. Paskert singled sharply to left and Mann went to third, Pask ert taking secopd on the throw to the far corner. Merkie ran his string to three and two and then walked, fill ing the bases. This brought up Pick, who made his world series debut in a world series pinch. Pick, on the third pitch, flied to Whiteman. No runs, two hits, no errors! - Second Inning. "Boston Whiteman opened with a single to center. It was a fast ground er between Hollocher ana rick. Mc lnnis sacrificed, Vaughn to Merkie, Discing a nice bunt close to the line.
