Game 1.
In
the Bombers’ home park, Bugs Raymond opened up against old Cy Young of the Maumees, and for the first three innings it looked like a
classic masterpiece authored by Denton Young. For his part, Raymond struggled
early, pitching out of a 1st inning jam but succumbing to an
onslaught of singles during the Maumees’ 3-run 2nd.
After Wallace flied to right, veteran third-sacker Bill Bradley walked and
moved to second on Cy Young’s single. Rookie Bob Bescher singled him home, Boss Schmidt singled, then Wee Willie Keeler singled home 2 more runs. However,
Raymond settled down and kept the Maummes settled.
The Bombers struck against Young for two runs in the fourth, fueled by a key
single by Honus Wagner and a fumble by 2nd
sacker Otto Knabe. They tied the score in the 6th,
as the Dutchman led off with a doubled and scored on Red Murray’s hot single.
Through
9 it remained locked at 3 runs apiece. Jack Coombs began the 10th on
the mound for the home team and pitched brilliantly. Young stayed on through
the 10th, 11th, and 12th and was if anything
even more efficient. When he showed signs of tiring with 2 outs in the twelfth,
rookie Frank Arellanes came on to coax a harmless
grounder to end the threat. Each team was only able to manage one hit per inning
through the 15th inning, with the gravest threat coming in the
bottom of the 15th. With two out, Red Murray tripled but Arellanes coaxed another grounder to second. He was
relieved in the 16th byBill Chappele, while Coombs continued to hold the Maumees at Bay. Finally, in the top of the 17th,
he began to tire. Keeler walked, stole second, Fred Tenney
walked, and Hummel singled home Keeler with the go-ahead run. After inducing
another double play, he succumbed to two more singles, Knabe’s
drive plating Hummel with the 5th
