GIANTS AGAIN "COYALESKIED;;"
RACE NOW TIGHTER THAN EVER
Meantime Chicago Blanks Reds.
Two Points Now Separate
the First Three Clubs.

All went well In game No. /. Mathew
son pitched and the Giants cashed in,
4 to 8. Their out stepped this same
fellow, Covaleski, and what does he
do, but trim the Giants again, 6 to 2,
incidentally combining them to four
scattered hits.
II New York Is beaten out for the
pennant, 1t will be because of Mr.. Co
valeski. But let 1t be said right hero
hat those two defeats the Giants had
to swallow were not due to freaks of
baseball luck.
Tho only flaw In Covaleski IL his
name, and, In one sense it's a credit
to him to be travelling under his true
colors. Most any other big league
player in a similar fix would probably
hide himself under the name "O'Brien"
or something of the sort.
As for pitching ability, CUvaeski Is
there forty different ways He's as
cool as an iceberg, even when in the
presence Of 10000 hostile fans. and has
an assortment Of curves, particularly
a fast breaking drop ball, that may
we'll battle even the noted sluggerp of
the National League. And this In
boy played on a team In little Mill
Vile, N. j., only five months ago.
Where he accumulated his benders 10
a mystery, but he has them, that's
plain.
McGraw would probably be willing
this minute to swap Marquard, his
SIT, 900 gem, for Covaleski and throw in
one or two other players to boot.
The Giants are really In bad straits In
their pitching department.
There is M~athewson, Of course. He
can win his games day In and day out.
But Matty can't pitch every game. Be
sides Matty there Is at present not a
first-class pitcher in McGraw's cup
board.
Ames and wiltse have been repeat
edly driven out of the box, even by
second division clubs Of late. And Tay-
lor, McGinnity and Crandall can be
used only to fill In. 1t is surprising
that The Giants havc been able to
keep up the pace with such q pitching
corps.
New York plays at Phiiadelphia again
today and tomorrow. Mathewson will
probably be called upon again for the
Saturday game. 1t may be that he will
have a chance then to ros curves
with Covaleski. Ames or Crandall will.
no doubt, be the choice for this after
noon.
While the Giants may have as many
enemies as they have friends. they
are surely deserving Of credit for their
plucky fight. None Of the Eastern
clubs, though entirely out of the run :
ming, has tried to grease the way for
New York. 1t is the league against

FIVE FOOTBALL
PLAYERS INJURED
IN YALE PRACTISE

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. alive
Yale football players were hurt SO bad
Nv in the practice yesterday that they
were forced to quit the field. -Four of
the number will be back by the first
of the week and the fifth within a fort
night.
The worst injured Is Anthony Haines,
OF Rockford, ILL.,, halfback on h sec
ond eleven. Haines tried to punt, ana
as two of the heavy varsity line
Jumped on him to smother his kick ne
went down beneath q pile of players.
His hip was badly wrenched and he
was carried off the field and taken to
the college infirmary. Philbin, varsity
halfback, cut his hand; Hobbs, varsity
tackle, broke a finger in a scrimmage;
Van Sinderin, end rush on the second
eleven, wrenched his ankle, and Bates,
halfback of the second team, cut his
head.
A boom was evident yesterday when
the faculty of the Yale Medical School
declared Arthur Brides, guard ana
halfback for two years, eligible. Brides
has finally removed every scholarship
technicality and yesterday he reported
for practise. He was put on the Sec
ond eleven at guard. He will be used
in the rush line this year at guard or
tackle. Andrews, who has been Grip
pied for ten days, was in uniform, but
did not line up. Ned Glass, former
guard, and Clarence A1cott, end rush
last year, Joined the coaches. Halves
of fifteen md. ten minutes were or
dered, and the practise was the hardest
since the season opened.

RESERVES HIS
DECISION ON PROTEST.

President Harry Pulliam, of the Ma
tional Baseball League, returned to
New York yesterday. Contrary to *
p~ectation Mr.. Pulliam did not give any
decision in the case of the game of Sep
TENDER 10 between the Giants and the
Chicago Cubs.
In answer to inquiries Mr.. Pulliam
AID
IT am not prepared to give any deci-
sion Just now and will not do SO until
I have carefully gone over the evidence
that has been presented to me. 1 am
sure when 1 do give my decision every
body will be satisfied with the justice
of 1t. At present the matter rests or
Umpire O'Day's decision that McCor-
mick's run didn't count, and in conse-
quence the game was q tie. President
Murphy, of the Chicago club, further
complicated this altogether unfortunate
affair by making other claims. l will
give my decision just as soon as I pos
sibly can, in justice to all the parties
concerned"

SHAPE UP POORLY
in FIRST SCRIMMAGE

Nearly every man on the squad who
has manifested the slightest ability
had a chance to display 1t, and the
coaches now have some facts to work
upon in the selection of a tentative
regular eleven, which will begin next
week.
Dowd, Vaughn, WEIGH and Dawson
worked at the end positions. Dawson
Is a substitute quarterback. but on ac-
count of B~redemus's injury the num-
Der of enl candidates was cut down be
yond the safety line, and the coaches
shifted the ~ex-quarter to an outside
job.
Another shift which caused con-
siderable comment was Buckingham's
sudden appearance at half back
BUCK is a tackle by preference, Blu
his Xxi liking has pulled him to the back
fed.
Making due allowance for h first
scrimmage of the season, yesterdays
work was disappointing. Scarcely o
play was attempted which did not END
in q scramble for the ball, and the few
forward passes tried were absolute
failures.

New York Nationals Get Only
an Even Break in Double
Header at Philly. :
BY @. A. FALZER.

~ AN you beat 1t? Here 1t is. two
days before the closing of the
championship season in the West,
and just Two points separate the first
three teams In the National League
pennant race.
New York was "Covaleskied" again at
Philadelphia yesterday. Instead Of
romping away with two games, as
McGraw had fondly hoped. the Giants
got away with only an even break.
Chicago threw the harpoon into Gin
cinnati and thereby tied Pittsburg for
second place. The Pirates had to lay
idle to suit a whim of McCloskey, the
st. Louis manager, who refused to play
off a postponed game.
Now. the Giants, by splitting the
double-header In Philly, lost two
points in the percentage column. They
still hold the roof position, but Pitts
burg and Chicago are only two points
behind.
D'you know what that means. pard?
Just this: If the Giants lose another
~game-they have five more to play
they will be beaten out for the %pennant
by Pittsburg, provided the "Stog1es'
win their last four.

from Philadelphia and then clean up
against Boston, they cannot be over
taken, yesterdays defeat notwith-
standing.
But the chances are that McGraw's
men will drop at least one of those
games. They are not going as steadily
now as their two rivals. II they do
lose another game, then keep your eye
peeled on Pittsburg.
OF course, there is this to be o
sidered. In order to finish with a clean
sweep, the Pirates would have to beat
the Cubs, whom they meet Sunday in
their final game of the season, and
there is where they may stub their
toes.
How about Chicago. you may ask?
Well, the Cubs have only three more
games to play. If they win all, which
includes Sundays game with Pittsbu'g,
and the Giants lose n of their re-
naming five they would tie New York
for the championship.
In that event an extra game between
New York and Chicago would be PLAYED
on the Polo Grounds. The Cubs chiei
hopes lay in the possibility OF the
Giants losing two more games.
The situation has made the whole
| country baseball nutty. And tnen
there's tina raee in the American
League, with only four points separat-
ing the first two clubs. and the leadina
four teams billed to clash In the n
series, Detroit VS.. ST. Louis and Cleve-
land VS.. Chicago.

Covaleski. How McGrav adores that
name and that man! Ignatz is not
the man who sailed the ocean, but he
Is the gent who may decide the great
National League race one way. or the
other.
On Tuesday the Giants and the Phil
lies met In a double-header at the
Polo Grounds. McGraw needed those
games badly to hold the lead, but this
fellow, Covaleski, who Is a coal miner
by trade and O pitcher by natural in
stinct, rudely upset all expectations by
shutting out the Giants, a loss which
forced them out of first place.
Next day New York regained the
lead. Then the Giants moved to Phila-
de1phia. Two games were played yes
terday. This tipe McGraw wanted to
cop the double-header worse than ever.
