GAME 1 -
Comiskey Park Brooklyn scored the go ahead run in the top of the 8th when Mowrey singled and stole second, then went to third on Otto Miller's infield single that mysteriously Gandil couldn't get to. Ivey Olson bunted home Mowrey and Brooklyn had it's first lead of the day. The top of the 9th saw the Robins add two more runs to their "suspect" lead when Casey Stengel Singled to center and Olson doubled into the gap between a mysteriously slow footed Felsch and part time Shano Collins. Up by 3 runs it looked like Marquard should easily be able to seal the deal and complete the circuit. Gandil led off with a walk and moved to second when Risberg lined one up the middle. Byrd Lynn, who's magic now seemed to run out struk out swinging on a 1-2 hummer. Pinch hitter Fred McMullin strode to the plate as the potential tying run. McMullin hit a bullet up the middle that hit Risberg right in the foot for the second out of the inning. What would be the odds that not one, but two Chisox runners could be hit with a batted ball while running the basepaths ? Incomprehensible. This base path gaffe would be the final straw and prove that these White Sox were really Black Sox. Eddie Collins, who is honest as the day is long lined a single up the middle to score Gandhil and make it a 6-3 game. Without Swede Risberg and Hap Felsch's baserunning Tom-foolery this game could be tied. Instead it was all for naught as Eddie Collins popped up to short to end the game and end the series. Fans in Brooklyn were ecstatic. A man named Arnold Rothstein, who also lived in NYC was ecstatic as well, but for a much different reason. Immediately following the game Kenesaw Mountain Landis was appointed special KOD investigator to try and figure out what happened in this series and to help regain the integrity of the game. Manager Scigliano lamented, "I should have paid these boys their bonus for having the best record in baseball...heck I should have just bought the 2014 new release of the game and I would have another series to play today instead of waiting until Februrary for KOD19." |

Game 1 – Boston (N) 14 – Chicago (N) 2 (10 Innings) Jack Pefiester and the Cubbies took a 2-0 lead into the top of the 9th. With one out Ted Cather lined a single to right center. Possum Whitted smashed a grounder to 3rd which looked like a double play ball, but then this is early 1900’s baseball, and Harry Steindfeldt commits the error leaving runners at 1st and 2nd. Johnny Evers, doing double duty playing for both teams, lines a single scoring Cather and sending Whitted to 3rd. Les Mann bloops a single to right center that plates Whitted with the tying run. The Braves load the bases but are unable to score any more runs. The game is tied at 2. A tired Jack Harper comes on to pitch the 10th for the Cubbies and it isn’t pretty. The Braves score 10 runs and win the 1st in a series where they have to win at least 3 to keep their dreams alive. Game 2 – Boston (N) 4 – Chicago (N) 2 Great pitchers duel between Dick Rudolph of the Braves and Orval Overall of the Cubs. The Cubs take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the 8th as Johnny Kling drives in Johnny Evers with the go ahead run. Can the Braves produce yet another miracle? Butch Schmidt leads off with a walk and is sacrificed to 2nd. With pinch runner Oscar Dugey still at 2nd, Johnny Evers hits a ground ball to Johnny Evers. Surely this is out number 3. But no, the ball goes under Evers glove and Oscar Dugey scores to tie the game at 2. Larry Gilbert grounds a single and now there are runners at 1st and 2nd. Rabbit Maranville follows with another base knock and the Braves have the bases loaded with 2 outs. Overall walks Joe Connolly and Hank Gowdy and the Braves take a 4-2 lead. Paul Stand retires Cubbies in order in the bottom of the 9th and the Braves win again in miraculous fashion. Can they do it? Heading back home to Boston. Game 3– Boston (N) 5 – Chicago (N) 2 (13 Innings) Game 3 follows a familiar theme – Cubs out to an early 2-0 lead. Braves score single runs in the 4th and 6th to tie the game at 2. But this time the game will go extra innings with both teams having numerous chances of winning before the Braves finally get it done. Cubs get the lead runner on in the 10th but fail to advance him past 2nd. Braves have runners at 1st and 2nd with no outs in the bottom half of the inning but can’t advance them any further. The Cubs’ Johnny Evers leads off the 11th with a base hit. He advances to 3rd with one out on a throwing error and sacrifice bunt. Joe Tinker tries a suicide squeeze but misses the ball and is called out on strikes. Johnny Evers, who broke for home on the pitch is a dead duck at home and the Braves dodge another bullet. (Editors Note: I believe this was the beginning of the feud between Tinker and Evers and eventually leads to the trade of Evers to Boston in 1914). The drama continues. The Braves get two runners on in the bottom of the 11th, but Jim Murray, no not the sports writer Murray, grounds out harmlessly to end the inning. On to the 12th. The Cubs get the lead runner on via a walk. Beebe bunts Steinfeldt to second. Frank ‘Wildfire’ Schulte hits a screamer to Rabbit Maranville who makes a diving catch for the second out. Jimmy Slagle strikes out to the end the threat. After all that excitement the Braves and Cubs go down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 12th and top of the 13th. In he bottom half of the 13th, Butch Schmidt limes a single to right. Red Smith is hit with a pitch to put Braves at 1st and 2nd with one out. Up steps Possum Whitted. With dusk falling and a ball that looks like pulp, Whitted steps up and blasts a 407’ home run to give the Braves a dramatic 5-2 win. This is only the 2nd home run hit out of the park all year by the Braves. Braves have clinched a tie for the last play off spot. Game 4– Boston (N) 1 – Chicago (N) 0 Mordecai ‘Three Finger’ Brown was the starter for the Cubs. He came into the game with an unbelievable record of 0-6. Could he possible fall to 0-7? The short answer is yes. George Davis, getting only his second start on the season for Braves, matched Brown pitch for pitch. Davis pitched a complete game 6 hit shut out. The Braves only managed 2 hits themselves and scored the winning run on a suicide squeeze by Herbie Moran. Do you believe in Miracles? Well these Braves certainly do. --submitted by Ron Burnette-- |

Game 1: Pittsburgh 8 Chicago 1 Pittsburgh Starter: Maddox Chicago Starter: Pfiester As the bottom dwellers of the National League prepared to do battle you could just feel the bad blood between the teams. Chicago drew first blood by scoring a run in the bottom of the second as Joe Tinker raced home on a bunt by Harry Steinfeldt. Pitts burgh answered back in the top of the 4th as Fred Clarke singled, but was thrown out trying to steal second. Tommy Leach followed with a single before Clarke was thrown out on an attempted steal of 3rd. 3 straight singles followed and Pittsburgh grabbed the lead 2-1. The wheel fell off the cart for Chicago in the 5th as Honus Wagner was hit by a pitch and charged the mound. Once the dust had settled, Wagner (Pit), Jack Pfiester and Harry Steinfeld (Chic) had all been ejected. Bob Wicker entered the game to pitch for Chicago and immediately yielded a walk to Dots Miller, a single to Fred Clarke, and doubles to Tommy Leach and George Gibson before the inning came to an end with Pittsburgh extending the lead to 6-1. Pittsburgh added 2 more in the 7th to close the scoring. Nick Maddox went the distance for Pittsburgh scattering 6 Chicago hits. Game 2: Pittsburgh 5 Chicago 0 Pittsburgh Starter: Camnitz Chicago Starter: Brown A scoreless duel as neither starter would yield. Mordecai Brown gave up only 3 hits and Howie Camnitz only 2 through 9 innings. In the top of the 10th Brown walked Comnitz and Honus Wagner moved him to third with a double. Dots Miller drove in the first run of the game on an error by Chicago 2nd Baseman Johnny Evers. Following a single by Fred Clarke, a double by Chief Wilson and a single by George Gibson, Pittsburgh had a 5-0 lead which is how this one would end after Camnitz retired the side 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 10th. An outstanding pitcher’s duel and a heartbreaker that lowered Brown’s W-L record to an unbelievable 0-6. And so the series moved on to Pittsburgh. Game 3: Chicago 5 Pittsburgh 4 Chicago Starter: Lundgren Pittsburgh Starter: Willis Pittsburgh grabbed the early lead in the bottom of the 1st on a Tommy Leach sacrifice fly. In the third Chicago took the lead with two fielders choices following a single by Jimmy Sheckard and a double by pitcher Carl Lundgren. Pitts burgh answered back in the bottom of the inning with 2 runs of their own. In the 6th Chicago tied the game as Johnny Kling scored from third as Sheckard hit into on a ground ball double play. Chicago added one run in each of the next two innings to take a commanding 5-3 lead. Pittsburgh closed to 5-4 in the 8th and threatened to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th when Pittsburgh cleanup hitter Tommy Leach struck out to end the game, stranding Honus Wagner on third. Both starters went the distance. Game 4: Pittsburgh 3 Chicago 2 (12 innings) Chicago Starter: Reulbach Pittsburgh Starter: Leifield Pittsburgh jumped out to the early lead scoring 1 run in each of the first two innings. Which was all of the scoring until Leifield yielded 3 runs to Chicago in the top of the 8th. Chicago put up the runs using 4 singles and a walk and with Reulbach on the mound appeared ready to claim a split in the series. But, it was not to be. Reulbach, who had pitched well all day could not hold the lead and after innings the game was tied 3-3. Chicago broke through for 2 runs in the top of the thirteenth off of Pittsburgh reliever Deacon Phillippe for what seemed, at the time, to be a safe lead. Feeling the heat from a disappointed home crowd, Pittsburgh got it in gear as Chief Wilson lead off with a single and Alan Storke walked. After a goundout by pinch hitter Ham Hyatt, light hitting pinch hitter Jap Barbeau produced an RBI single. Honus Wagner then singled and Dots Miller delivered the 2 RBI double to win the game and give the Pirates the series (a rare occurrence in Pittsburgh this season). Though not a season for either team to remember, this series was a lot of fun to play…no lead seemed, despite starting pitching that had a couple of very notable performances. Jim called a great series. --submitted by Mark Nixon-- |

that was the only scoring in this match.
Eddie Cicotte
was overpowering but had a close shave in during the sixth inning when
Conroy tripled over Felsh's head in center. Conroy attempted to
stretch it into an inside the parker but a nice relay from Felsh to

Game 1: Cincinnati 7 Pittsburgh 3 Pittsburgh jumped out to an early 1 run lead in the bottom of the first as Honus Wagner lead off the bottom of the first with a double and scored when Fred Clarke immediately followed with another double. The hit was to be the only hit for Wagner, the future Hall of Famer, of the series. For the next 4 innings the game settled into a pitching duel until Pittsburgh again scored in the bottom of the 6th when Tommy Leach doubled in Wagner who had walked earlier in the inning. Cincy quickly answered back in the top of the 7th scoring 2 runs on 4 hits. Not to be outdone that easily, the Bucs scored 1 in the bottom of the 7th as Deacon Phillippe singled in Jap Barbeau who had doubled just prior to the pitcher batting. Cincy answered in the 8th with a single by Daubert, an error by Wagner and two fielder choices. The game went into extra innings knotted at 3 and stayed that way until the top of the 11th when Babe Adams, in relief of Phillippe, yielded a single to Morrie Rath to open the inning. Rath advanced to second on an error by Pittsburgh CF Leach, a single by Jake Daubert and a fielders choice by Heinie Groh. A walk to Rath and a double by Pat Duncan put the nail in the coffin for Pittsburgh as they Bucs saw another one slip away on sloppy defense (3 errors).
Game 2: Cincinnati 3 Pittsburgh 2 Pittsburgh was determined to get back on top in this one and although they gave up a run in the top of the first to the Reds on an RBI double by Edd Roush , they answered back with two of their own in the bottom half of the inning as the result of two single, a double and two stolen bases. At this point the game settled into a scoreless duel until Cincinnati put up a run in the top of the 8th when Jake Daubert doubled home Morrie Rath who had lead of the inning with a single. Despite giving up another single and a stolen base in the inning, Camnitz was able to get out of the jam with a tie. In the top of the ninth the Bucs again lost their gloves. Camnitz got into an immediate jam by giving up a single to Cincinnati shortstop Larry Kopf, catcher Bill Rariden moved him to second with a perfect sac bunt before Camnitz struck out Eller for the second out. Walking the leadoff batter, Rath it appeared Camnitz had once again escaped when Daubert hit an easy fly ball to right field which Chief Wilson lost in the sun allowing Kopf to score the game winner from 3rd base. Once again, the Pirate pitchers lose a close one and have been plagued by poor defense in the early part of the season as Pittsburgh commits 3 errors for the second game in a row.
Game 3: Cincinnati 3 Pittsburgh 2 The series moved on to Cincinnati where it was greeted with light rain which did not dampen the home team’s offense as they came out firing scoring 1 in the bottom of the first and 2 in the bottom of the second. Pittsburgh pitching yielded 5 singles over the first two innings and along with the two Pittsburgh errors (none of the runs were earned), the Bucs fell into a quick hole they could not climb out of. Cincy pitcher Dutch Ruether held the anemic Pittsburgh attack to just 5 scattered hits all day. Pittsburgh again committed 3 errors and extended their 3 errors per game streak to 3!
Game 4: Cincinnati 7 Pittsburgh 2 This one got away from Pittsburgh in the 6th as Cincinnati put up 5 against a tiring Nick Maddox. Having seen his bullpen explode before, manager Nixon did not trust the pen enough to bring them in. With the score tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the 6th, Maddox got two quick outs before yielding 7 straight singles to the Cincinnati lineup. And with that, this one (and the series) was mercifully over, the sweep was in the bag and the Bucs headed to the train station bar to await the ride home! The good news……Pittsburgh only committed 1 error in this one, giving them 10 for the series. Edd Roush and Jake Daubert each went 3 for 4 with the latter knocking in 2. Despite the frustrating performance for Pittsburgh, it was a fun series to play and Jim did a great job managing the Reds. --submitted by Mark Nixon-- |

So much for
deadball baseball. I know they only used 1 or balls pre game and it
got kind of mushy but after 4 games the Braves are hitting a robust
.311 and the Pirates .312.
Bullpens were AWFUL for both teams.
Braves came from behind in the first two games
winning both in their last at bats. Game 2 was highlighted by
inside the park home run by the Pirates
Tommy Leach.
It gave them a 3-2 lead but neither starter Vic Willis nor Sam Leever
could hold the lead.
Game 3 was close until Manager Nixon had to go
the bullpen and the Braves scored 5 in the top of the 9th to win going
away.
Same thing happened in game 4 except this time
Manager Burnette had to go the bullpen. Pirates score 2 in the 7th and
3 more in 8th for a 7-1 win and salvage one game out of the 4 game
series.
