A vast throng, numbering 42,620 wild-eyeVl fans, saw the "Sox down the Brooklyn Dodgers, 4 1, in the fifth game of the 1916 title tussle, It registered the Sox'sfourth victory and clinched the title for them. To Ernie Shore, elongated right-hand-er of the Sox, went the honors of stowing away the championship. He is the only pitcher to be credited with two victories in the series. Only Three Hits Off Shore. Shore was master of the Dodgers; holding them to one run and three hits. This kinky right-hander has reached a crest in baseball’s high peaks of fame. He was a- slab hero of last season’s

classic. Duffy Lewis again figured prominently in a world’s series as a heavy swatter. It was Lewis’ three-bagger that enabled him to score with the tying run in the second inning, when GardneY /hoisted a sacrifice fly to Wheat. The Dodgers had scored the first run without the aid of a base hit or a fielding error in the second inning. Sartors Costly to Dodgers. Fielding errors by Cutshaw and Olson let in two runs in the third and clinched the game for Boston., Hooper singled in the fifth and scored on Janvrin’s- double to left. Charles Ebbetts, president of the Brooklyns, headed the nrocession marching about Braves’, field after the game. The features of the game were: The first run made by the Dodgers in the second inning was scored without the aid of a base hit or a fielding error. Lewis was at a disadvantage in the second inning with two strikes on him, when he slammed a curve. It was a liner to deep left. The ball took a bound away from Wheat. Thrilling Stop by Gardner. Gardner’s thrilling stop of Olson’s wicked bounder in the second, also his splendid stop and throw of Moyrey’s bad bounder in the fifth. Shore fanned Hi Myers, the first man to face Shore on three pitched balls. Wheat’s hair-raising running catch of Shore’s low-line drive in the fifth frame robbed the tall Red Sox pitcher of a base hit. Brooklyn. A8.R.8H.88.P0.A.E.
