New York. Oct 28s-- Hope-this one
word characterized the baseball talk
among the Giant partisans here. I'm
til the New York team won the fifth
game of the world series by the score
OF 4 to 1t was sorry bunch of fans,
but now visions of the coveted pen
nant again make the Gothamites obli-
vious Of all else. This unexpected
victory may require seventh game to
decide the championship.
The Giants won by the pluckiest
tind of uphill work which bristled
with hard and timely hitting In the
ninth and tenth innings. Up to that
point defeat for McGraw,s men seem.
ed inevitable, and more than SO, 1000
persons were convinced OF the fact
when suddenly the New Yorks ex-
pioded a bomb which created one OF
the widest scenes ever recorded in
baseball history.
An error by Larry Doyle was the
forerunner of the Athletics three runs
In the third inning. Without this mis-
play the visitors would have been
blanked In that period. But subse-
quently with two men ON bases Old
ring broke the heart of Rube Mar
guard by driving terrific hit far into
the left field bleachers for home run,
scoring Lapp and Coombs ahead of
him. This disaster forced the retire

crowd into deepest gloom. for Jack
Coombs meanwhile was In magnificent
form and pitched the cleverest kind of
ball for six consecutive innings
Succeeding Marquard, Red Ames
also pitched superbly during the
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh In
nings, the Athletics making but two
hits and failing easy victims to his
change of pace. An error by Collins
enabled the Giants to make their first
run In the last half of the seventh, In
which Crandall was sent in to hit for
Arhes, and then, assuming the task in
the box, CrandalI furnished another
agreeable surprise by holding the Mack
men runless for the rest Of the battle
Incidentally Crandall covered himself
with glory when he hammered cut a.
two hagger III the ninth inning, which
sent Herxog, who had also doubled,
across the plate. Two were out at the
time, and Coombs confidently expected
to dispose OF Devore, the next bats
man. But Little Josh, who had been
rather weak with the stick in his pre-
vious appearances at the plate, smash
ed redhot single to left, which sent
CTan1an hcme with the tieing run.
Doyle redeemed himself in the last
half of the tenth inning by finding
Plank, who had succeeded Coombs, for
his fourth safo hit. two bagger to
left. He scooted to third when Plank
felded Snodgrass' bunt second too
late to shut him on. Murray followed
with short fly to Murphy, upon
which Doyle did not attempt to go
home, but Merkle lined the ball close
to the foul line In front OF the right
wing OF the grand stand, and when
Murphy caught 1t Doyle sprinted
across the plate with the deciding
tally. Many ball games have been
witnessed In this city, but this one
was the limit. Suddenly raised from
thN depths of despair, the crowd went
into paroxysms of boundless Joy, and
for fully ten minutes after the win
ming run had been scored men and
women rushed about the stands and
over the field as Ii they had lost their
senses.
The failure of Mathewson and Mar
guard to stem the tide had been for.
gotten, and with renewed hopes the
Giants and their friends declared
again and again that the champion
ship must and would be theirs.
The Athletics. undismayed, went
home prepared to dght to the last
ditch. They wtil probably pitch Plank
this afternoon, while there Is bare
suspicion that McGraw will call upon
George Wfltse, with Ames and Gran
dali In reserve, -or there is no hope foi
Matbewson, and Marquard seems to
be too unsteady to be relied upon.
