Brilliant Individual Play and
Freaks Mar All World Series
Invariably Some Player on
Either Team Stands Out
in Title Games and Some
Weird Happenings Occur
During Games.
New York Sept. 18.— Unusual play*
brilliant performance! of individual
players and freaky things have entered
into many of the aeries for the world's
baseball championship. Buch occur-
rences are recalled each year in fandoto
and lend to the speculative interest in
the championship games about to be
’/he outstanding feature of the aeries
in 1008 in which the Chicago Cubs de-
feated tba Detroit Tigers was the hurl-
ing of Pitchers Overall and Brown of
the Cubs. Oversll won two games the
second in which he allowed the De-
troit! four hits and won 0 to 1. and the
fifth in which he allowed three bits and
won 2 to 0. Brown shut out the Tigerg
in the fourth gsme 3 to 0. the Tigers
getting but four hits off his weird de-
livery.
In 1900 “Babe" Adams the veteran
Pittsburg hurler won three gsmes for
th* Pirates the first fifth and seventh
against Detroit. Hans Wagner tbe
Pirate shortstop plsyed brilliantly as
did Moriarty tbe Detroit third sacker.
Bendev and Coombe pitched and won
the entire aeries for the Athletic*
against the Cuba in 1910. Coombs won
all three games in which bo started and
Bender won one and lost one. Eddie
Collins performed brilliantly afield and
at bat for tbe Mackmen. The Cubs
were favorites to win in the series.
Baker's Home Run* Figure.
Tbe home rune of Frank "Home Bun"
Baker contributed largely to tbe Ath-
letics victory over tbe Giants in tbe
series of 1011. In tbe second gsme
Baker's bonier put tbe Athletics in tbe
lend and his bomer In tbe third game
tied tbe score after the Giants appeared
to have the game on ice.
Tbrilla aplenty were bad in tbe 1012
games between the Boston Bed Box and
Uie New York Giants. In tbe eighth
game at Boston on October 16 the
score was tied in the ninth. Tbe Giant*
scored one in tbe tenth and led. Harry
Hooper robbed them of a run that may
have staved off defeat by leaning over
the fence and taking Doyle's long hit
which would have been a bomer. Then
disaster befell the Giants in Boston's
bslf Snodgrass muffed a long fly by
Engle who batted in place of Wood the
Boston hurler. whose hand was injured
in the previous inning when he stopped
Catcher Meyera’ bard liner. Engle took
second on tbe muff. Bnodgras* then
made a magnificent catch of Hooper's
fly which seemed good for three bases.
Mathewson tried all his cunning to
►trike out Yerkes and failed. Yerkes
walking. Speaker bit tbe first ball
Sitebed for an easy foul which should
ava been caught by First Baseman
Merkle. As It occurred later by cap-
turing thia foul Merkle would have
saved the game for the Giants for
Speaker singled sending Engle across
the pan with the tieing run. Yerkes
stopped at third. Gardner sent a long
fly sacrifice to Devore and Yerkes sped
across with tbe winning run. *
"Matty" and Plank Pitch.
In 1013 the Athletic* won from the
Giants again. One of tbe bright spot*
in this scries was the great pitching
duel between Mathewson of tbe Giants
and Plank of the AthletiA in the sec-
ond game. Tbe Giants won in the tenth
inning batting Plank for three runs.
Barry. Collin* and Baker tbe great
Athletic infielders perforated well. Ben-
der pitched Philadelphia to victory in
two games.
The Boston Braves who had made a
great fight in tbe National league and
won their way from the cellar to the
pennant upset all dope in 1914 by win-
ning four games straight from the
world's champion Athletics. Little
John Evers pulled one of the greatest
"bone head" plays in world's series
history in the tenth inning of tbe third
game. With tbe bases full. Baker hit
a bard grounder tn John. John juggled
the ball and looked dumb while two men
Crossed the plate.
The bitting and fielding of George
Duffy Lewi* featured the 1915 series
between the Boston Red Box and the
Philadelphia Nationals. He drove in
Speaker with the Box's only run in the
eighth inning first game. In tbe fourth
game his two-bagger sent acroM the
winning run for Boston in tbe sixth in-
ning. He collected thiv* of his team's
six hits off Alexander in tbe third
game which the Sox won in the ninth
on his single which drove in a run.
More than 43900 persons witnessed the
game.
Hooper Plays Great Game.
Harry Hooper of the Boston Rd
Sox. the same player who saved his
team the series in 1912 by catching
Doyle's long bit a* ft went over the
fence played a brilliant game for bis
team in the series of 1916 against
Brooklyn. He batted .333 and played
sensationally afield. Hia hits were all
timely and contributed to tbe Red Sox
victory.
"Babe" Ruth now tbe home run
champion and a member of tbe New
York Yankees pitched tbe Red Sox to
two victories over tbe Chicago Cubs in
1918. Carl Mays who also is a mem-
ber of th* Yankees this year won two
games for Boston by bis airtight hurl-
ing.
Last year the triple play made by
Wambgamu of Cleveland in tbe fifth in-
ning of the fifth game against Brook-
lyn : Elmer Smith's bomer with three
<>n In tbe first inning of tbe fifth game
and Bagby's bomer with two on in the
fourth inning of the same game were
leatures. Speaker the Cleveland man-
ager. played well. _

game no Yankee batter reached second
but Shocker bad a scare in tbe nimh
when Scbang and Peckinpaugh singled
Ruth was intentionally passed but
Meusel was retired on a fly to Jacob-
son. Harper pitched well after the
first when Sisler’s home run followed
