Luck Always is the Mightiest ' Factor in Settling: Honors in World's Series Contests.
Dope Means. Little, So Toss a Cqjn and : Place Your Money As You Think Best.
BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. Luck always , haa been the mightiest factor in deciding a world's series combat, and fluck probably will figure largely in : the Red Sox-Pbilliea series. Statistics covering past performances show only what a team and 'what the individuals should do in a series they never have shown and never will show what the men actually will do. World's series games always have furnished surprises and startling upsets of the dope, and they have been, caused by the dabbling of fate; by the smiles or frowns of fortune. Baseball, the old boys tell us, Is 40 per cent skill and 60 per cent luck. Which team will have the luck which will get the breaks of the game? Answer those questions and you have named the certain winner of the series. The dope says the Phillies should out-slung the Red Sox and the Sox ought to out-run the Phillies' But the old dope may get a jolt. Fate may twist things." Dope Means Little. World's series combatants rarely play true to Tegular season form, , Men who have been figured to star, to be a tower of strength have fallen down miserably. Ty Cobb furnishes the best example of this. Others, from whom nothing was expected, have risen to great heights; have, by their wonderful achievements cinched the title for their clubs. Whitey Robe of the 1906 White Sox, is one example. Hank Gowdy of the 1914 Braves is another. Fortune smiled upon the Braves in '?14 and the Braves won; it smiled on the Red Sox in 1912, and they won; it smiled on the 1906 White Sox, on the 1911 Athletics, and they won. Those teams got the breaks, and it was because they got the breaks that they became the baseball champions of the universe. Hank Gowdy's 1914 world's series accomplishments stand out as one case where the dope went awry. Before the series Hank wasn't figured as a slugger. He didn't do any real -clouting during the regular 1914 season, nor has he done anything remarkable in the, batting line this year. Luck Was With Gowdy. But fortune smiled upon Hank during those four world's series days in 1914 and Hank bit for the tremendous average of .545. He went to bat eleven times and got six hits. Three of these were doubles, one a triple and the other a homer. Every one of his extra base swats came exactly when it was needed came at a crucial moment during the game. Hank's clubbing feat always will rank as one of the greatest in world's series history, but it must rank, too, as a bit of luck that an ordinary cloutter should be able to connect with a slugging streak during the most critical period of his career. In 1912 the Red Sox out-lucked the Giants and the Red Sox won the base ball championship of the world. In the first seven games of the series the Red Sox got the breaks, and they got them in the last game. You remember it, don't you?. It was in the last half of the ninth inning and the Giants were in the lead. The Red Sox went to bat and Kngle sent a fly to Snodgrass. The Giant outfielder didn't have to move for the ball. It was the easiest chance he had during the entire series. He put out his hands, the ball dropped into them, and out again. Snodgrass had made the $30,000 muff, and the most inglorious foozle of his career and paved the way for the Red Sox rally that won the game and the championship. Frank Baker smote two baseballs into the grand stand for two separate and distinct home runs in two of the world's series in 1911. Certainly fortune smiled on Baker, because the Athletic slugger in those two games made as many home runs as he had averaged in every thirty-five or forty
regular season games. And so it goes. Luck figures in every series and in every game, and no matter what the dope tells you, no matter which team plays better ball, it's a certainty that the team that gets the breaks is the team that will win the classic battle of baseball.
