THE LAST ONE FOR 86 YEARS
 1918 WORLD SERIES, GAME #3
Lack of Cubs hitting helps the Red Sox
and Carl Mays beat Vaughn again

September 7, 1918 ... Hippo Vaughn, came back to pitch Game #3 of the World Series at Comiskey Park and he pitched all right, except in the fourth inning, when four base hits scored enough runs to conquer him and the National League champions 2-1. Vaughn has pitched two sweet games and is deserving of considerable sympathy, when a review of the vital statistics of the series are analyzed, because his teammates have only pushed over one run or him eighteen innings. Carl Mays pitched for the Red Sox and pitched splendidly, being more effective in the earlier innings than he was after the fourth. Except for the fourth inning Vaughn looked every bit is good as Carl Mays.

Les Mann's hit was the only one off Mays, in the first four innings. His submarine ball seem to have the Cubs baffled. They were studying him all the time, and in the fourth inning figured it out and shelled him, but his own skill and some room remarkable support made again sweet affair for Carl.

A crowd of over 27,000 people, the largest of the series star game that was worthwhile. Many brilliant plays. When the game started. Carl Mays and a perfect setting to work under. It had rained a little in the first inning, but then the whistle blew for the sun to come back to work and he stayed around until the close. Many rumors were in the air, prior to the game, concerning possible confrontations between the players. As result of yesterday's argument. The boys, however, went through the game like a set of perfect gentleman and was playing at what happen yesterday, happened yesterday.

It was a game with a thrilling finish, manager Mitchell taking a desperate chance and losing two gone in the ninth inning, endeavoring to put the run over that would tie the game. After Dode Paskert and Fred Merkle were out, Charlie Pick singled toward right, Dave Shean made a fine stab, but his throw to first was late. Pick stole second and started to third on a short passed ball by catcher Wally Schang of the Red Sox. Schang recovered the ball and threw it down the Thomas, who had Pick sliding into the base. It appeared as if Pick knocked the ball out of Freddie's hands because it rolled in the tab foul territory as Thomas. stopped to protest to the umpire. Mitchell gave Pick the queue to head for home and when Thomas came back to earth, he retrieved the ball and shot it to Schang, who nailed Pick at the plate.

George Whiteman, the man who had to wait 14 years to show that he had what it takes to play in the big leagues, was one of the big acts today. His catch in the fourth saved Mays, a stack of trouble. Les Mann had doubled with one out and Fred Merkle followed Mann, hitting the ball on a string to left field. But Whitey raced back with the ball, turning and backing up against the bleachers to grab it. Whiteman has been very active in the games played here. He has except 11 out of 12 chances in left field, has batted .500, getting four hits, one a triple, in 10 times up, stole the first base of the series, has knocked in a run, got on with a pass, and then been hit once. In addition, today he robbed Merkle of extra bases by snaring that tough line drive.

In the first four innings Vaughn was putting plenty of the Red Sox on base, but after that, only let two get on at all, passing Harry Hooper in the fifth, while Schang registered a hit in the ninth.

In the second inning the Sox failed to take advantage of a possible chance to score. Whiteman lashed a single to left and McInnis tried to sacrifice, but finally struck out. Whiteman stole second and Scott reach first when Charlie Hollocher juggled his grounder and followed it with a late peg to Freddie Merkle. They were stranded on base when Freddie Thomas's flied out to Flack.

The fourth inning was the big frame again, as it was in the other games. Amos Strunk was first up and called out on strikes. Vaughn, then hit Whiteman in the back and the Texan took second when McInnis singled to left. Schang lined one the center and Whiteman scored as Stuffy took third. Everett Scott decided to work the squeeze and Vaughn jumped on the tapped the ball, only to see it run up his arm. That prevented him from getting McInnis at the plate, but once he turned to make the play at first, Fred Merkle was nowhere near the bag. Schang went to second on the squeeze, but he was cut down, trying to score when Flack that Thomas's single and shot it to the plate.

The Cubs scored in the fifth. Charlie Pick, the first batter up, ripped one by Scott to left field and made two bases. Bill Killifer's slap to left that scored him, but Bill was later snuffed out trying to steal second. Two of the four runs the Cubs have scored so far, in the series, have been knocked in by Killefer.

In the sixth and seventh innings, the Cubs had chances but failed to come through. In the sixth Mann and Paskert singled with two out, but Merkle struck out. The final big chance for the Cubs to do some business came through in the ninth, and they failed.

Hundreds of sailors from the Great Lakes station saw the game today and cheered on Freddie Thomas. The other great show were the airplanes circling over the ballpark. At 8 o'clock tonight, both clubs left for Boston over the Michigan Central. The party is due in Boston at 11 o'clock tomorrow evening.

Stuffy McInnis has been fined $25 for some remarks he made to umpire Bill Klem in the game yesterday, when Stuffy fielded a grounder from Max Flack and slid in the first base with a runner, who was called safe.
