Chicago, Sept. 28. Caesar, as Pat rick Henry said, had his Brutus; Charles I, his Cromwell, and, as the orator of Revolutionary days failed to mention, the managers of various runner-up clubs in the world series have, in nearly every case, someone on whom to unload the blame for defeat. - The series just closed the last for the duration of the war and be lieved by some to have been the last for all time added another name to the list of superlative unfortunates, whose sins of omission and commis sion have made them targets for the gibes of fandom throughout the country. Conrad Maximilian Flack, Cub out fielder, is the unfortunate individual whose error will be remembered as long as the "hot stove" league meets to refight former base ball battles, and he numbers fourth among the men whose wobbles dissipated their club's dream of world dominion' in the field of sport and gained nation wide attention, Merkle, Snodgrass and Zimmerman are the other mem bers of the quartet. Flack probably will be known as the "Second Snodgrass." Strangely enough, his error was perpetrated on the same field and within a few yards of where the Giant outfielder made his historic muff in 1912. It was even more costly than Snod grass' bobble, for Fred's merely paved the way to , victory, while Flack's let in two runs; winning runs, in the crucial game of one of the most bitterly fought series ever staged. Flack Muffs Drive. In the third inning of the final frame Tyler wavered. He passed Mays an unheard of contretemps but was able to get Hooper. Again he crumbled and Shean walked. Strunk was out and the Cubs took heart again, when VVhiteman, hero of the series, sent a long fly to Flack, whose canny fielding and mighty arm had proved a distinct nsset in games gone before. And Flack muffed. In romped Mays and Shearn and the eagles of victory rerched upon the banners of the Red Sox. "V It is noteworthy that all three of the other super-blunders put crimps in the campaigns of John McGraw. manager of the New York Giants. Probably the most famous of all was Merl-Vs "boner" in 1907, not committed in a world's series, but which cost the Giants the pettoant and a chance to try conclusions with the Athletics, then in their prime. It was Merkle's failure to touch second and John Evers quick comprehension of the bjunder which gave the Cubs the d&; game of the series and the pennant. -. Again in 1912, the failure of "Mc Graw's legions to play in form com mensurate with their training cost them the series. Inthe- eighth game at Boston Snodgrass, a tower of strength both in the field and at bat, dropped Engel's easy fly. InVitself the bobble was not necessarily fatal, but it marked the beginning of a run of ill fortune which cost the Giants the title. ""ZimV Foot Racefr Heinie Zimmerman, transplanted from Chicago's west side park to New York, in 1916 ; completed the quartet. He classes with Merkle, in that the error was one of judg ment, rather thaa being unavoidable. The plays for both Merkle and Zim merman are classed by the base ball public generally as "boners, pure and simple," while Snodgrass and Flack are excused in a measure on the ground that ill-luck is likely to fasten itself on any ball player, at any time, inside or outside a) world series.

Frantic efforts of his team-mates to persuade Heinie to throw to McCarty at the plate, failed . to penetrate Zimmerman's consciousness. Never noted for his speed, Heinie, nevertheless, was im bued with the idea that he could out run Eddie Collins at any time,4un(kf any circumstances. He tore down the base line toward the plate in pur suit of the Sox second baseman who gained at every jump. The race ter minated with Collins several lengths in the lead with the winning run and the Giants never threatened again. The remark of Herzog, the Giant shortstop, has gained almost as wide circulation as the story of Zimmer man's bobble. "Look," shouted Buck, hurling his dove in the air; "Look at that big Dutch boob chasing $3,500 out of the park." ' Thirty-five hundred dollars was the winners' share. Refuses Nomination.
